US would be 'no different than Venezuela' under a Biden administration,

The president was responding to a question about what he thinks is the starkest contrast between himself and Biden

Wild, I've been to some truly beautiful and well functioning socialist countries.



Seriously though, anyone making these sort of blanket claims is a moron. Socialism WORKS for some things. Capitalism WORKS for some things. But guess what? Neither works great for everything. This focus on isms is short sighted. Do what works, and is right. Often thats capitalism. Sometimes it isnt. Its good to understand where one works best, and where the other does. do the right thing.

Someone bookmark this one for the possibility of a Biden win. Say Jan 2024 to see if we look like Venezuela.

America protects Europe but Europe can't protect America when it goes down the path to a one party communist he$$ hol !!!

The EU has never had a constitution like the US or the freedom of the 1st and 2nd amendment !!!

The EU has the mute button !!! The gateway to He$$ !!!

Ok, so if I follow your logic....The fact that we have a constitution and first and second amendments means that if we vote in a democrat, we will descend into a communist hellhole. Conversely, if we had a mute button, which is the gateway to hell, we could enjoy a Western European socialist paradise. I think I’ve got it!

This reminds me of the witch burning skit in Monty Python.

Pure BS speculation based on the opinion of a loud-mouthed spoiled little brat.

So, what ya gonna do if your idol loses? Gonna stay in what will be no different than Venezuela?

You can call it whatever - American dream, right-wing dream, MAGA, whatever.

Whatever it is, I am still waiting for the Trump campaign to say what it is that they will do in their 2nd term if they are elected.

You can call Biden's policy socialism or whatever, but at least he has a plan. A very detailed one. What is Trump's?

I've been asking this question for months and even got my posts removed. Apparently, asking what Trump will do for the next four years is considered trolling in the right-wing minds.

LOL -- yes that's the latest fear mongering -- Venezuela overnight with Biden -- lol.

And it works with his base because they like that kind of simple, irrational conspiracy theory.

One day you are complaining about water pressure in your dishwasher -- the next you'll be seeking refugee status in Canada from the socialist regime -- lol.
