(US) First Democratic Socialist poised to take congressional seat.

Interesting. I've always disliked the unreasonable hate at people that identify as socialists or how socialist has been used as an ad hominem to people who don't even identify as such. It and "communist" was the original "nazi" in its times.

I would be careful about speaking about Scandinavian social democracy too easily, as it has for a long time become more right-wing and focused on privatization. At least Norway. Pensions are dooming new generations to work to make up for the excesses of our parents generation. Social services are getting tougher and tougher. Our healthcare system is also facing challenges. So I wouldn't be too enthusiastic imagining it as something that would ultimately succeed in the US.

Criticize socialism if you must, but we should have more affordable healthcare at least. Nobody should go into debt because their 10 year old had to be taken to the ER. Thats not their fault and its not representative of American values of opportunity.

Yea for as much as I hate some of our political parties here, all of them save the Tories (Conservative Party) agree with NHS being a thing that should stay, and is seen as something the government should be doing for its people. Even fucking UKIP believe that the NHS is what the government should do for it's people, fucking UKIP!!

Talking about her upbringing isn’t really a point you need to bring up. It doesn’t really speak to her experiences and personal and professional growth.

All you need to do is listen to her open her mouth and you’ll find out she is just unqualified to do the job and is vacuous of all intelligent thought on how to run a democracy.
