has the presidential debate come down to choosing between socialism and capitalism?

[Xtraz2]

or is that in itself a right wing talking point?

one things for certain, now more so than ever, the two parties have never been so polarized......no more foreplay, no straddling the fence, it’s in your face now, and I guess that’s the natural progression of transparency in politics, it’s definitely a more effective way of politics because the formalities are removed

I’m just trying to figure out if socialism is our future, will we still get the same innovation under the government sector. I think we will..... I don’t think money will be a motivator of innovation in the future, we already have powerful instruments like iPhones in our hand that are more valuable than anything money can buy

fukk it, I'm for socialism. 4 decades of Reaganomics is beyond enough greed.

I've yet to hear a presidential candidate propose eliminating capitalism.

Some of the candidates hate capitalism's excesses, but all of them clearly wish to continue a capitalistic society, just under greater restraints.

Right wing talking point.

Nonsense

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

1 in 5 Americans can't name a single branch of government. It's pretty obvious 90% of us doesn't know what socialism is

 

[storyteller]

Right wing talking point. People need to actually learn what Socialism is and some of the underlying theory because it's really frustrating that this obfuscation persists.

Right-wing talking point.

The actual conflict is white nationalists vs humanists. Although that's basically a worldwide thing right now.

heaven forbid candidates want to reign in capitalism that has accelerated the wealth gap, eliminated whole classes of jobs, exploits workers and doesn't provide them the same security they once had before raegan unleashed the flutes in the 80's, it's a shame they want to properly tax the excesses, implement stricter environmental protections, curb student debt, and make sure people have access to health care....yea, all of this sounds like socialism

phrasing matters.

One of bernie's biggest missteps is clinging to the word socialism knowing its gonna be a hurdle for people to give him 5 minutes of their time.
