Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Who has won who has proven themselves to be a socialist through actual actions and not words?
https://www.dsausa.org/statements/zohran-mamdani-wins-national-political-committee-statement/
What has he done while in office to prove he is a socialist?
Nothing, but in fairness that may be due to the fact that he's not IN office until next month.
So back to my original question…….
patience child
That’s what they keep saying, and they keep never delivering. While we wait, we lose everything.
This article is discussing the socialist candidates who won elections in November of this year. None of them take office until January.
It is currently December. None of them are in office yet. They cannot deliver anything from the office until they are in the office.
Its weird you keep asking.
Okay, past 20 years. Show me socialism.
Ok, pay my consultancy fee and I'll get you a report in a week.
That’s what I thought.
evidently not
Yes, I thought you had nothing and you delivered.
Evidently so.
I delivered on the part that is relevant to the article that we are commenting on.
You can learn to research things yourself. Ask a librarian if you need help. You can do it!
I already know there’s no socialism. I don’t have to go find it because it doesn’t exist. I also don’t need you to agree with me.
Go back to school. You clearly need more of it.
“ I know you are but what am I”
You do not understand the concept of time.
Correct! It is set in stone that nearly all of us will receive a slow and agonizing death, no matter what we do. The important part is making the events that lead up to said death matter.
Correct! And we aren’t making any of those events matter.
Then take the initiative to make it matter.
Moving the goal post to the impossible are we?
I said “who won” so the goal post is still in the same place. Learn to read.
