Clearly you havent been to America, or your sands in the dirt. Were very volatile chaps we are. One slight and we whine. However these notions would push america to open revolt.

As an American, I'm pretty sure that whining is literally the most they'll do when push comes to shove.

According to republicans, when it's Trump it's a democracy, when it's a democrat it's a godless communist dictatorship that will ban your hamburgers.

You're one of the ones who "gets it." People really ought to or should get over this "democracy" crap. It plays a relatively small role in American governance. The actual decision making is distinctly not democratic in the vast majority of cases. The country wouldn't function as well otherwise. The founding fathers of the US were all wealthy plutocrats for a reason. They set up a system that'd enable them to continue being wealthy and successful but not so elitist as to lock out people from lower social classes to become wealthy themselves over time, via smarter decisions or pursuing their business plan if it has real merit.

The people who backed the American Revolution all intended to be rich afterwards, just as much as they intended to preserve their wealth beforehand. Allowing the economic system to be subject to the whims of the masses or changes in government isn't in accordance with this vision.

Czechoslovakia and Zakarpatia wrote:Omar and Tlaib are not Holocaust deniers, nor did they ever state that they want to "kill the Jews". Criticism of Netanyahu's regime does not equal antisemitism, because by that logic, any criticism of the current President would be "Anti-Americanism".

I agree they are not holocaust deniers, I think they have made tweets to that affect, antisemitism according to webster's dictionary is considered a form of racism, but I don't think the Muslim Ladies in congress are rascists, but they are anti Israel and the Jewish People, and think America needs to be made different, that is part of the political reason Trump criticizes them so much, and Rashida Tlaib is a member of the Democrat Socialists of America and the Democratic Party along with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic Socialists of America love and support Bernie Sanders.

Rashida Tlaib: a Democrat and a Democrat Socialist of America:
We have to make the tough, courageous changes that completely transform a political and economic system that is now built for corporations (and profits), not people.

Choosing the status quo means doing nothing and giving up.

We need a political revolution.

Do you agree with Rashida Tlaib? I don't.

For the record Miami Shores is one of my nations, I have a capitalist monopoly on the Miami Shores and La Habana Cuba nation names on NS lol.

To be honest, the Justice Democrats are Scandinavia-style social democrats if anything, and Tlaib and Omar are no exception. Actual socialists are generally wary of supporting these two, especially since they engage in the "system".
