The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Still no one wants to talk about the dsa takeover of the democrat party? Too bad.

Cool. I'll talk about it:

city-journal.org - Democratic socialists of america workers deserve more

“Workers Deserve More!” has revolutionary aspirations. It aims to “win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.” The document makes clear that achieving this vision would require “building a new society from the ground up,” accompanied by sweeping structural changes.

To accomplish that goal, the DSA calls for sweeping political and economic changes, including full public financing for campaigns and the abolition of the Electoral College, alongside the establishment of public ownership of the largest corporations and essential industries to ensure democratic control and accountability, and strict regulations on investment properties.


Yep, that's Communism. Can't wait for this board to support this stuff full-throatedly despite the denials now.

And when the inevitable yOuRlYiNgLiAr posts show up:
Our goal is to put workers in charge of the government through a new democratic constitution that establishes civil, political, and democratic rights for all, is based on proportional representation in a single federal legislature, and ends the role of money in politics.

With a government by, for, and of the working class and with powerful labor unions and social movements organizing in every city and town, we hope to build a socialist society where people come before profit, basic needs are guaranteed, the largest corporations are put under public ownership and democratic control, peace around the world is secured, and workers around the world join together in common struggle to construct socialism worldwide.

platform.dsausa.org: DSA Program - Workers Deserve More!

Yeah, that's Communism. What else do these lunatics - and soon this board - believe in?

NO MORE ECONOMIC WARFARE
End economic sanctions that impact the sovereignty of countries whose governments act independently of the United States, such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran.


Not surprisingly, they're fans of the mullahs.

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Allow workers to freely migrate between countries to seek employment without restrictive immigration controls. Demilitarize the border, end all immigrant detention and deportations, immediate amnesty for all immigrants regardless of current immigration status, and provide access to jobs, labor rights, and social services to all immigrants.


And they don't believe in borders at all.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
Extend full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens and establish statehood for Washington D.C.


Hilarious. There's no such thing as a United States at this point.

REDUCE THE POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT

Limit the Court’s power of judicial review which it uses to effectively create and abolish laws outside the legislative process.


LOL. In other words, once the party has spoken, you proles can Shut Up.

The Rose symbology is also intentional. That signifies the left wing's SA, Antifa. They're the ones who will go out and break heads.
