22. A liberal democracy that socializes segments like healthcare is still a liberal democracy.

Essentials like healthcare aren't f-ing commodities. You don't wake up one day and think "Gee, I'd sure like to inject myself with Enbrel every week. It costs more than I make in a month, but I deserve it!!

It's pretty f-ing simple.

Making America a nation we can be proud of is all about building a government that protects our individual rights while providing the public infrastructure and services we choose to provide ourselves.

Not a difficult concept to convey in conversations, in letters to editors, or in comments in newsfeeds to challenge the phony "left" propaganda that even our allies are falling for.

We need to call bullshit on the insanity. Don't just write off the propaganda. Be clear. Call bullshit.

What the various parts of the Pro-Democracy coalition -- whether Democrats, DSA, or Independents -- are advocating are the SAME things that a majority of this nation wants -- an end to corruption in government, universal health care, and more. Hell, most of what the current fascist corporatist Republican Party of today attempt to demonize as "communist" was part of the 1956 Republican platform.

In a nutshell, what we want is at the CENTER of our politics (less than 3 minutes)

Or the longer version, what they are calling "left" is a central throughline that defines the character of this nation across our history.
