re: #443 A hollow voice says,1st round on points. Onward!

I’m old enough to remember that warning being made about every democratic candidate in the last 50 years. Some of them were elected. Some served two terms. No socialist state yet.

If someone says that to me, I will laugh and tell them to find another threat, that one’s used up.

(It’s time to stop acting as if what comes out of their mouths has meaning. The proper answer to their tired slogans is either a merry laugh or “And?” Since the second response is likely to get you rivers of equally tired slogans, I’d stick with the first — or maybe just say “stick a fork into it, it’s done.”)

agreed
socialist state is shorthand for ‘my taxes will go up to pay for stuff i dont want to pay for’
