Are the Democratic Socialists of America reshaping U.S. politics, or are their economic policies a recipe for disaster?

With insurgent socialists scoring major primary victories and high-profile figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani making waves, conservative critics warn of a chilling future- while supporters argue voters are hungry for change in an era of soaring inflation and billionaire dominance.

Is socialism gaining real momentum in America, or are conservatives right to sound the alarm?

Piers LIVES when the verbal clashing ensues and the word swords become projectiles! Just look as his eyes begin to brighten up and "smize."

Bailing out too big to fail companies is not capitalism

30% of your paycheck goes straight to tiny hats and for wars. Cost of living is up 40% in 6 years. Wages are stagnant. AI will be replacing many human jobs in 5 years. Rich are buying private islands while most can't afford Healthcare to survive. This isn't rocket science.

No, americans are not tired of capitalism, we are tired of socialism for corporations and crony capitalism for everybody else. Give everybody one or the other and leave it at that

All I know is that my mom worked as a cashier and my step dad as a cook at a fast food restaurant and were able to buy a three Bedroom HOUSE, with a big yard and one car garage earning two bucks above minimum wage here in San Diego. Today, those two jobs would barely qualify to rent a one bedroom apartment. Don’t tell me things are better today.

This could be a longer debate, why so short?

Piers this is a nightmare to listen at home. You gotta keep the people that interrupt quiet. That’s why people use headsets on podcasts

Two major factors over the past 60 years have brought us to this ivory tower debate. 1. Changes to the tax code of the early 60’s that helped create historic prosperity to working and middle class Americans to the current trickle up framework. 2. The ballooning of the military budget and wars of choice by the ruling class that drive inflation and explode the deficit. Neither Marxism nor crony capitalism are the answer.

You know we are intellectually cooked when the comment section is centered around frivolities like "boomer" this and that.

I had to LOOK UP this Hanson guy BECAUSE my sleepy brain heard Mark Victor Hanson! Thank goodness it's NOT the guy we grew up reading! Disappointment was welling up.
