    I'm not lost in the Left's euphemisms and dissimulation but you are moving the goal posts. We were talking about Harris' proposal to abolish and nationalize private HI in this country, which is pure socialism. We weren't talking about abolishing and nationalizing the delivery of healthcare, even though that's the ultimate goal of many "progressives", which is pure socialism, as well.

    It's a comforting self-styled "progressive" myth that conservatives reject socialism on account of an irrational "Cold War mentality" or "Cold War propaganda" instead of rational economic, social and human factors, including the trail of death and destruction it has left in its wake since the Bolshevik Revolution.

    Bernie attracts young people who are young, naive, idealistic, ignorant and want "free" stuff. On top of that, they're too young and/or uneducated to know what happened beyond the Iron and Bamboo Curtains during the 20th Century so they weren't spectators to the horrors and failures that occurred there. They have absolutely no idea what it was like to live in those authoritarian hell holes.

    Strawman. I didn't say it was the flagship publication of the Left.

    You forgot the like the North Vietnamese in Vietnam

    "our own progressives were pushing it here at home," didn't I mention the Birchers up above, always liked their claim that the adding of chlorine to the drinking water was a Communist plot.

    Show us the actual quote where Harris proposed "to abolish all and nationalize private health care in this country"

    Her actual statement, which she generalizing in a town hall setting, not "proposing" was;

    "“Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care, and you don’t have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require,” she said.

    "Who of us has not had that situation where you’ve got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, well, I don’t know if your insurance company is going to cover this. Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on," Harris explained."

    From that you are now telling us she has a proposal to dump all private insurance and nationalize health care in the US? Harris's position on health care is Medicare for all, not the Gov't taking over the health care industry in the US

    And you comment on younger people is pure Cold War logic, if it wasn't America with its' mixed economy would an "authoritarian hell hole"

    I refuse to debate with those that fall back on Saul lite tactics of claiming fear every other post.. You can surely do better then that.
