probably here at DU in the jungle of words written every day. One of the main planks of the democratic-socialist bandwagon is providing healthcare for all-good, free college tuition to move into a class with a 'wonderful job' where one has an equal footing-good. Yet the same old policies that Democrats have fought for in my lifetime, JFK wanted universal healthcare, being dressed up as young and new as AOC, is just wrong. All the upward mobility, maybe lots of money and fame will not stop this:

and the democratic socialist does not spend a lot of time with this reality while telling people their policies enacted will solve ameriKKKan white racism. I will be voting for Democrats in November that are honest about the fight we have been waging in my lifetime, at the ripe old age of 70. And only those honest enough to say that they will continue the fight I have been in for a couple of generations now. I don't waste time believing that socialist-democrats are offering anything new. I know that Democrats have been in the fight since JFK wanted universal health care for ALL Americans. Money, fame, healthcare, a free college where a sleeping student with brown skin can be arrested on the whim of some telephone Becky means jack shit against the racism of Americans.

and what about AOC stating she doesn't take ANY corporate money
