You know nothing of my party or it's politics. Socialists are
progressive, not conservative.

I had it figured the other way around: he knows nothing about
Republicans. Either way, comes out the same: He's saying their
similar and in his own statement, he's showing us he doesn't
understand.

I am not. If you are aware of
US politics then I generally dislike the policies of the Democrats
and the Republicans, because both of them support Socialism.

No, Republicans are not the least bit socialist. They're
anti-public healthcare, anti-public education, and think
laissez-faire economics benefits everyone instead of just the
richest 3% that control 80% of the country's wealth. Republicans
are pretty much the Socialist antithesis in the US.

Yes, I'd agree that you can't get much more accurate than that.

Well, he could, because its worse than that, 1% of the people here
control 90% of the wealth according to some figures I heard on C-SPAN
tonight in congressional testimony. Thats not right, and its sure not
a democracy.
