      Repubtard: HEY THAT’S SOCIALISM!!!

      Except Scandinavians have more freedom, and better free market than USA.

      Repubtard: BUT IT’S SOCIALISM!!!

      Ehrm, they also have better freedom of speech.

      Repubtard: WHAT? ARE YOU A FUCKING COMMIE?

      Actually they also rank way higher on democracy.

      Repubtard: WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

      I don’t, but wouldn’t it be nice if everybody had healthcare, free education and social security so you didn’t have to fear to starve if you got ill and lost yopur job?

      Repubtard: HEY THAT’S SOCIALISM!!!

        Ugh, my elderly neighbor was going on about how Harris was going to take away this and that, most of which I’d never heard her say or even read about her plans doing, and I said, “where did you hear that? It was Fox News wasn’t it? He replied with, “well, what news do you watch? I said, “it sure isn’t Fox where they lie constantly. Harris hasn’t said any of that crap you need to get your news from multiple sources.

        We’d be a heck of a lot better off if the news agencies were held accountable for telling lies and making up stories. Yeah, I know it’s a fine line but it’s one I’m willing to walk at this point.

          Yes, other countries have that, it’s called responsible journalism.
          You can’t just parrot some source, and claim it’s reporting. You need to check your sources.
          When they help spread lies, they are part of the problem.

          What is your elderly neighbor’s view on Republican policies for the elderly compared to the Democrats; and does Fox care more about their elderly viewers half as much as their younger viewers—i.e. the ones who justify more money from advertisers?

          In 30 years, Trump will be as cited by Republicans as much as Reagan is today—i.e. rarely if ever—probably less—Reagan at least won twice and in one election he won 49 states—as did Nixon in 1972—and back then, Nixon was about the same age as Harris is now.

          Did your elderly neighbour support Ross Perot back in 1992?

          a Texan speaks:

        I wonder if a typical Republican could point out Sweden on a map.

      Accountability is probably easier in a smaller country.
