By voting for the Democrats they will get a socialist/communist, whether they realize it or not. What I find to be really stupid is all the wealthy liberals -- academia, sports and hollywood stars, coastline elites, silicon valley, etc. -- promoting progressive ideology like income equality. Don't they realize that means they lose everything? What do you think happened to Cuba. Venezuela, Ussr amd her satellites, etc?

With capitalism, we have rich and poor, and everything in between. With socialism, there is only poor -- true income equality! They will look back and long for the good old days of Trumpism.

Yeah, just look at Canada and Britain, and all the other very happy democratic socialistic nations.

If you look at the thread on the education gap we don't have "equality". We have a system designed for a class system. 30 years ago you might be able to argue that it was done through ignorance. Not anymore. The system is clearly designed to take the money earmarked to educate kids and instead build up our computer industry. The result is to have a nice looking school that is populated and administered by the poorly educated. That is only true of the inner city, the suburbs and private schools don't get away with that. They are judged by results.

But the inner city has immigrant parents and parents who never went to college and single parent mothers and basically just a whole lot of parents intimidated by school and afraid to respond or lacking the fundamental understanding to respond. So we have parents who will make a big complaint about a kid failing, but don't care that the kids are being given an elementary school education.

So these kids go through this system and then discover they can't go to college, they can't get a job that pays a living wage, and so inherently they know something is wrong, just don't know what it is. Now either those of us who do know what the problem is will solve it, or else these uneducated masses will become the majority and elect AOC.

We will never have equality. That is science fiction. Look at children from the same family. They don't have equality, yet they had the same parents, same home, same opportunities, same education, yet often have vastly different outcomes. " Equality" is the opium of the Left. And the only way so-called "equality" can occur is in a totalitarian regime, where the state decides your life, and those who don't like it get sent to Siberia or one of Kim's prison cities. These are the "lucky ones" who get to live.

What we should strive for is freedom -- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Look at Dr. Ben Carson. He rose from the ghetto to pioneer neuro-surgery. So-called "equality" would have suppressed him.

Busing and affirmative opportunity were supposed to solve this problem in America. It may have opened doors for some, but the problems got worse. The real problem is broken homes and broken souls. Their kids will nearly always be disadvantaged. Inner city schools fail because inner city homes have failed.

AOC and her ilk will always deceive the masses with their utopian promises. Their tactics just enhance their own gains. Does AOC practice what she preaches? Of course not. Did Al Gore? Obama? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? This list is endless. All of them profiting off the plight of others.

What we really need is Jesus. On a personal level. On a family level.

OK, so you didn't read the thread on education gap, got it.

Poland has all of the problems that our inner cities have and yet they have completely turned their schools around from worst to the first tier. They did that without paying more money than we pay.

There is no deceptive utopian promise, simply follow in the steps of those who have already paved the way.

Since you don't like the term equality, lets use your term of freedom. Putting 15 million kids in public school into a system that is programmed into creating working drones with absolutely no prospect to being anything more than a person who works at the minimum wage doing the jobs no one else wants, that is not freedom, that is slavery.

Have you read the "dumbing down of America?" The quality of our educational system is inversely proportional to the amount of money we spend.

Read some of those who say the same thing, like Thomas Sowell or D'Nish D'Sousa. Our educational system is working exactly as planned. It is designed to produce slaves. Like I said, working as planned.

Poland is doing the right things, which includes rejecting the EU leftist policies.

Yes. The correlation between spending money and the dumbing down is because greedy corporations have attached themselves to the school system like blood sucking leeches. Yes it is designed to produce slaves.

It is time for those of us who are aware of this to do something about it.

As I read the comments here, a thought occurred to me that perhaps the wealthy libs see socialism as inevitable. They are hoping to make a deal to keep their riches when the socs come into power. So they react when there's a complaint from lefties. I believe we're aware of these examples:
1. Nike withdrew shoes because CP said the flag on them represents oppressive times.
2.Laura Ingraham makes fun of that anti-gun student. Companies withdraw their sponsorship.

Apparently, they feel they will lose a lot of customers which affect their bottom line.
