148. Thank you for finally looking up the definition of Democratic Socialism.

Sun Apr 17, 2016, 07:09 PM

Apr 2016

Funny how Sanders has never been able to utter that definition. As you can see from that definition, Democratic Socialism is "political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production."

Scandinavian countries are political democracies alongside market economies, where the means of production are in private hands. They are not examples of Democratic Socialism. You don't have to believe me, listen to the Danish prime minister.

New poll: Female voters flock to Bernie Sanders from Hillary Clinton [View all] Bubzer Apr 2016 OP

Hillary wants to compromise on abortion Lunabell Apr 2016 #1

Damn right! A woman's body is her own, full stop!!! Bubzer Apr 2016 #2

oh, yeah. That must be why she has NARAL's enthusiastic endorsement. pnwmom Apr 2016 #3

Then explain this quote from Hillary: Lunabell Apr 2016 #12

This was referring to late term abortions -- ie., when the fetus is viable outside the womb -- pnwmom Apr 2016 #36

Another case of "it's okay when a Clinton does it" Scootaloo Apr 2016 #57

Do you ever make any sense about anything? This isn't an example. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #58

I'm not sure why you're so easily confused. Scootaloo Apr 2016 #59

Your confusion is you don't understand this basic FACT: both Hillary and Bernie support Roe v. Wade. pnwmom Apr 2016 #69

This has nothing to do with Roe v. Wade. A Simple Game Apr 2016 #82

No, she is NOT. She's talking about the same thing Bernie supports: pnwmom Apr 2016 #83

All I know is what she says. And I don't think Bernie has put the right to choose on the table. A Simple Game Apr 2016 #103

You survived an alert 0-7 Hekate Apr 2016 #118

No, it was about Roe. V. Wade. Here's the transcript: muriel_volestrangler Apr 2016 #122

Thank you for making my point. You can make whatever excuse you want A Simple Game Apr 2016 #129

Roe v. Wade allows restrictions on abortions muriel_volestrangler Apr 2016 #131

My point is that she would support exceptions to choice and she says so in her own words. A Simple Game Apr 2016 #134

Yup yup... you nailed it! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2016 #85

A uterus doesn't belong on the pages of the katsy Apr 2016 #78

Both Bernie and Hillary support Roe v. Wade. pnwmom Apr 2016 #79

Yes Roe rests on the principles set forth in the katsy Apr 2016 #80

Roe v. Wade allows restrictions once the fetus is VIABLE. Bernie supports Roe v. Wade. pnwmom Apr 2016 #81

You keep repeating the same thing over & over. katsy Apr 2016 #84

I don't think we need a change in the Constitution and neither does Hillary or Bernie. pnwmom Apr 2016 #87

Did I suddenly become famous and say this? katsy Apr 2016 #88

Here is where reading comprehension skills would come in handy. pnwmom Apr 2016 #90

then why even go there. katsy Apr 2016 #92

She went there because the question took her there. It asked her to discuss late-term abortions, pnwmom Apr 2016 #95

See I don't want an act of congress deciding katsy Apr 2016 #101

Then you and Bernie don't share the same position. He fully supports Roe v. Wade and you don't. pnwmom Apr 2016 #102

I don't not define myself by the candidates I support. katsy Apr 2016 #104

Roe v. Wade IS the law -- for non-viable fetuses. pnwmom Apr 2016 #106

Good. No further act of congress necessary. katsy Apr 2016 #107

The issue is VIABLE fetuses. And Bernie and Hillary both understand that Roe v. Wade pnwmom Apr 2016 #108

So do you & I katsy Apr 2016 #109

Btw.... This is another terry shiavo maneuver. katsy Apr 2016 #111

Wait, I can answer that one, pnwmom! rock Apr 2016 #98

Sometimes it seems so. pnwmom Apr 2016 #99

Wow your world is one dimensional. katsy Apr 2016 #105
