It's possible but I suspect it will Vance if he wants it.
shareIt will go to JD unless something completely bombs with the Trump administration. He did fine his last term, so I don't see that happening.
shareMe either, Trump's first term was boring. I kept waiting for the lamestream media to have something negative to say just to make things a little bit interesting and it just wasn't happening.
shareShe supported socialist Bernie Sanders in 2016 and then ultra capitalist Trump in 2024. She's all over the map and not to be taken seriously. If she ran for Republican nominee in 2028, how would she explain the socialist endorsement? She might be a freethinker but she'd be toast in Republican primaries.
shareNo. She's just seen the democratic party for what they are now.
shareAnd yet she still endorsed Sanders. Has she done a complete 180 in 8 years?
shareNot exactly, Trump and Sanders shared some supporters for various reasons. That being said, Tulsi might just be the most blatant opportunist since Arlen Specter(or Trump). Whether it pays off in the end remains to be seen.
shareTrump isn't a "ultra capitalist" in 2020 he passed an executive order which put a price cap on presciption drugs. capitalism is a seperation of the state and the economy, it's a free market, FREE of the intervention of the state.
Trump intervined in the economy and told the private sector what they should do, he also called out harris for "destroying social security"
Based on the definition of capitalism and socialism, trump is no capitalist, he's just no bernie sanders. someone like rand paul would never be infavor of government intervention like this, thats a capitalist...
but even trump called himself "an east coast republican" he isn't the hardcore social conservative capitalist that rachel maddow and the others say he is. he never was.
But you're conflating ultra capitalist with free market libertarian. There are many capitalists who use government to achieve their goals.
And yes, he's not really a social conservative who opposes abortion, gay rights and separation of church and state. But he plays a social conservative to get the Christian fundamentalist votes. His Supreme Court appointments have been hardline social conservatives.
i'm not confusing anything, it's that socialism is now so "normalized" that anything even slightly to the right of lenin and stalin is "capitalist"
capitalism is a seperation of the state and the economy, it's a free market, it's free of the intervention of the state. by the definition of socialism, the US is a socialist country, because theres an intervention of the state in the economy, theres a redistribution of the wealth via a welfare state, theres taxes, theres a whole lot of social programs. this is socialism.
if theres even a little intervention in the economy, then theres not a free market, theres socialism, to quote milton friedman "a woman can't be a little bit pregnant"
if trump believes in interventionist policies, a lot of a little... then he doesn't believe in capitalism.
theres so much economic illiteracy.
That's a very hardline position straight out of Ayn Rand.
In the real world we have mixed economies.
Silly to say Trump is a socialist.
Who did you vote for?
because ayn rand was a capitalist. trump isn't. everything has a definition. if the definition of capitalism is a free market, and theres not a free market, then it's not capitalism.
it would be like me to claim i'm gay, then say "men make me sick, i'm married to a woman, i've got 6 kids and i hate showtunes" guess, what!? im not gay!
you have to understand that "socialism" isn't just some south american dictator screaming about colonism and his love for che guevera. socialism is a redistribution of the wealth, it's intervention of the state, it's taxes, it's SOCIAL services, theres a clue in the word "social" right?
no such thing as a mixed economy, you're really just saying "not hardcore socialism"
it's scary the amount of people who can't define economic models.
So you're saying there is no true capitalism on earth.
I appreciate your purist approach but disagree.
If a socialist program works, like the US Postal Service for example, then it can used to our benefit.
So who did you end up voting for?
