yea, socialism is nothing to fear, in the beginning, it looks great on paper and right when it first starts, but then it gets really scary, thats why so many people flee socialist countries. our history is littered with moments of people fleeing socialist countries for democratic ones, or less socialist ones, because socialism is soooo great.
as for her being a socialist, who cares, socialist / communist / democrat / republican, they are all the same, ESPECIALLY when they use the same lines that have been used since the 70's, "a government that works for you", im surprised people are still stupid enough to fall for that line, it gives nothing and is meaningless. look at AOC, super duper great socialist, working for the people, driving around in a Tesla living in her luxury highrise sitting by her infinity pool while destroying job creation in NY. look at Bernie Sanders, back in the day he was a great socialist, railing against open borders as a Koch brothers proposal to lower working wages, now all of a sudden since he is worth over a million and has several houses, open borders are a great idea and millionaires are not bad, only the billionaires are bad.
which leads me to this question, which workers is this new socialist mayor wanna be protecting by pushing elements of a Koch brothers proposal such as sanctuary city so that illegals can flood into the city and drive down the wages of the working people that are living there. certainly she isnt pushing anything for driving down prices. so yea, great protecting the workers there, by pushing various ideas that will raise taxes on the workers and at the same time driving the workers wages down.
i fully endorse this candidate 100% for mayor of Buffalo, that city will go to ruin in a few years

@paulpeterson4216 and the problem with your argument is that you assume i would call you a socialist or a commie or a nazi, i wouldnt do that because you admire social programs or safety nets within countries. i believe it was Norway or Sweden, one of the two that came out in a press conference and bluntly stated that they are not a socialist country, they are a capitalist country with social programs, or something to the effect. but either way, none of those countries are socialist, they are all capitalist, their economic engine is driven by capitalism. they use the proceeds from that engine to fuel social programs, and im not going to argue about their social programs, there are good points and bad points about their social programs. they pay higher taxes, and they have longer wait times at doctors, but the benefit is that everyone is covered and no one is left behind.
as for being unequal? unequal in which way? there are many ways to measure equality. a black gay woman is mayor of a MAJOR US city, there are a lot of people from various walks of life that are successful and a lot of people that are not. there are poor people and there are rich people. are people unequal because there is white privilege? im wondering how much white privilege does that hillbilly living in a trailer in Alabama have compared to someone like Michael Jordan or Barrack Obama? i live in a neighborhood in Chicago that is very much unsegregated, there are people from all walks of life in my neighborhood, we view each other as equal. perhaps this inequality here is driven by the politicians that for generations have been busily working on dividing us to where in the last several elections there was a strong emphasis on the race of the candidate.
are we unequal in wages and wealth, why yes of course we are, no one will argue that, do we need a living wage, yes we do, but its not as simple as raise the minimum wage. Germany for example, has used part of their taxes that should have gone to pay for NATO to fuel their economy and social programs, forcing the US to pitch in for what they and various other members of NATO fall behind on. Germany also did not have an influx of illegal immigrants that the US has had, the government has been claiming for decades that there are about 11 million illegals living in the US, but in 2019, MIT and YALE jointly published a study showing that the 11 million number is not accurate, and it is mouch closer to 23 million and could be as high as 33 million, thats 10% of the US population. various people and economists on both sides of the isle at one point or another have stated or confirmed that illegal immigration causes wage suppresion, especially for low and lower middle class workers. there are various reasons for this inequality, most people praise Steve Jobs and forget that whole inequality argument or that Steve Jobs was a profiteer of slave labor as his products were manufactured in Chinese companies that were one step above nazi concentration camps.
i would back a socialist candidate, if it was a candidate that was pushing for more social programs for the people that deserve it, but most of these candidates are pushing for policies that will wreck our country. open borders and sanctuary cities to suppress the wages. defund the police to drive up crime while they hire their own personal security staff. true socialists come up with ideas and plans to help their countrymen, and they get corrupted by the power and damage their country. these democratic socialists and just fakers, they use the socialist brand to make people believe that they will get free stuff if they just vote for them, while still pushing elitist ideals.
so no, i dont think of you as a commie or socialist or nazi simply because you like social programs, you can not point to a single person in this country that does not have some social program that they like, im in favor of social programs, but those social programs need to be accessible to ALL equally that live in the country. its kind of like the fridge in your house, its a social program, it has food and all members of your household can get food and eat it, but you dont leave your front door open and allow anyone or even your neighbors to just come in and take what they want? and you dont dictate who can or can not have which food in your family or household.
