As has been pointed out before, moderate or milder forms of socialism (social democracy, democratic socialism) don't preclude private enterprise or a (regulated) form of capitalism existing alongside.
AOC is selling a $65 Green New Deal hoodie made from petroleum products

This thread: an excuse to not give a shit about the things AOC stands for. Any excuse will do.
Other countries with shit like Medicare for All are whatever evil buzzword we need to make sure that we don't actually try to switch to them and keep our shitastic "give all of your money to insurance companies" system. Or per one of my favored memes...
Haha, I'm so posting that on my Facebook. All conservatives call anyone who wants like one added social policy a socialist or communist, it's ridiculous.
Ah neat, i just had discussion over this on discord yesterday, and the consensus was that conservatives(or any political affiliates really) don't have a ground to ***** on about this.
Are conservatives running on a platform of environmental sustainability?
No, and that's precisely why their criticism of AOC rings hollow.
I think the criticism is "you undermine your own ideals" not "you don't support the environment"
The criticism that comes from the side that doesn't give rats ass about these ideas. My point still stands.
I just found it funny considering her non Green Deal hoodies are more environmentally friendly lol.
Well based on other threads you don't give a shit about what people say to begin with so I'm guessing you see some kinship with AOC and think she's just as performative as you are lol
See that would work far better if you actually presented evidence of what it was made from to dunk on people lol.Ah neat, i just had discussion over this on discord yesterday, and the consensus was that conservatives(or any political affiliates really) don't have a ground to ***** on about this.
So you realise that means most of the Democrats can't criticise Trump on Religion, immigration or a whole host of other stuff?
Who gives a shit, it's a $30 baseball cap. Rightwing pundits also attacked AOC's merch from the "you praise socialism, yet you ask for money hmmmmm" angle, so the hypocrisy is still there.
If they do it only to dunk on Orange Man, without any substantial policy counter proposal, sure, go off. Tell them to shut the fuck up.
In that vein, I'll continue to telling low energy right-wing concern trolls to shut up, otoh. Deal?
Which was also part of the fundraising method. People could support his campaign and they got a Baseball cap out of it.
So is AOC getting her fundraising efforts in early here or something?
So they don't have to believe it just present counter policies now?
Why does that matter?
Usually if you really believe in something, you work actively to introduce it.
Because it's like Democrat buttons and pin badges and stuff like that. It's campaign merchandise more about helping fund the campaign than personal profit
Or just throw a half arsed bill out there you think will never pass anyway lol
"I know you are but what am I": a true classic in the schoolyard debate.
Or like republican buttons and pin badgea and stuff like that.
Do you think politicians try to syphon donations only during campaign periods?
Yes.
...What are you actually trying to argue here?
