Yes and there are European countries that are also democratic socialist. When they are brought up, you argue they aren't really socialist because they still have market economies (and ignore all of their socialist policies). That would be your other definition which changes when you are talking about Europeans vs Americans. Everytime.

Edit: Oh. You actually did it again in the post above. :| :lol:
Having a Democratic Socialist Party in power does not mean the country is following democratic socialism.

Britannica's definition of Democratic Socialism.
Modern democratic socialists vary widely in their views of how a proper socialist economy should function, but all share the goal of abolishing capitalism rather than improving it through state regulation (as preferred by social democrats).
A democratic socialist typically believes in a socialist economy with a democratic rather than authoritarian government. The European countries you and kalm are referencing don't have socialist economies.
I didn’t say they did. Most if not all advanced economies are mixed market. Where you and I differ is simply on what things should be privatized and to what extent.

Yep. That would be snowflakes on the left who get bent out of shape if you don’t use their preferred pronouns.
Snowflake and pronoun…two words constantly brought up by the right.
Pronouns are brought up 10x as much by the left lol. They’re the ones constaly mentioning (many in their e-mail sigs) what their preferred pronouns are.

It doesn’t. But it shouldn’t bother them when you fail to use their chosen plural pronouns, or refer to a man (pretending to be a woman) as a man, & vice versa, or instead of using the 8-10 digit acronym that seems to grow every year, just say alphabet people..

Yeah, libs stay away from Florida.. Make it even nicer to visit :nod:
The largest LGBTQ+ rights organization in the U.S. joined other civil rights organizations Tuesday in issuing a travel advisory for Florida, warning that newly passed laws and policies may pose risks to minorities, immigrants and gay travelers.

The Human Rights Campaign joined the NAACP, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the Florida Immigrant Coalition and Equality Florida in issuing travel or relocation warnings for the Sunshine State, one of the most popular states for tourists to visit in the U.S….

Rick Scott issues travel advisory for ‘socialists,’ warning Florida is ‘openly hostile’ to them

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) issued what he described as a “formal travel advisory for socialists visiting Florida,” on Tuesday, warning that the state was “openly hostile” to socialists and their enablers.

“The state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by Socialists and others who work in the Biden Administration,” Scott, who is also the state’s former governor, said in a press release.

“Let me be clear – any attempts to spread the oppression and poverty that Socialism always brings will be rebuffed by the people of Florida,” he added. “Travelers should be aware that attempts to spread Socialism in north Florida will fail and be met with laughter and mockery….”

Only very recently. The right has been losing the culture wars until recently. This year feels like a turning point.

I'm sure if LGBTQ+ people would just go back to hiding that side of their of person and just pretend to be non-LGBTQ+ that BDK and his ilk would be perfectly fine with that. :coffee:
