Could Trump lose in a Clement Attlee Styled landslide?

Social democracy is not socialism.

Proven to work where? The US system clearly doesn’t work for most people. It’s nice if you’re rich or manage to be born without any kind of disability or chronic ailment.

It's a new thing the right is running with. Which makes me seriously ask: (1) Are they this twisted in their thinking skills and comprehension, (2) are the doing this to attempt to gaslight?

Republicans forever: "The Confederacy is MY heritage! It wasn't a war about us keeping slaves, it was our state rights!"
Suddenly Republicans out of the blue: "I'm not the Confederacy! We were the ones who fought to end slavery!"

Wait, huh? What?

It's like they expect everyone to forget how they've always viewed it.

That said, their thinking has always been bonkers in this regard: "The Confederacy is MY heritage! We are the party of Lincoln!" Wait, un, what? Lincoln fought the Confederates and the Union states voted him into office, so I have no idea how that one plays out in their heads.

If they are attempting to gas-light, they forgot that we have voting records showing how states leaned back then and still do today. Confederate states still hold fast to this day their same white straight supremacist ideology.

My only hope is Confederates are starting to realize how vile they were in the past - my only hope is from here they can take accountability for their "legacy" that they're disturbingly proud of and work to finally put an end to their Confederate ideology once and for all. But, sadly I think this is more akin to them scream "hoax" and "fake news" to every one of the hate crimes their type perpetuates on a daily basis.

Because the UK and the US are the only two countries in the world?

Neither has the best health systems the ones that do are capitalist countries such as Singapore, New Zealand, Sweden, Luxembourg, Switzerland Etc.

Curious about New Zealand being capitalist, I did a search and this was the first thing that popped up.

Statement from their new prime minister:

"Wages are not keeping up with inflation, the cost of housing is outstripping most people's reach," she told The Nation's Lisa Owen.

"What is the point of economic growth when we have some of the worst homelessness in the developed world?"

The Government she's formed with New Zealand First, with support from the Greens on confidence and supply, would be an "active" one when it came to plugging capitalism's holes.

"When you have a market economy, it all comes down to whether or not you acknowledge where the market has failed and where intervention is required. Has it failed our people in recent times? Yes. How can you claim you've been successful when you have growth roughly 3 percent, but you've got the worst homelessness in the developed world?"

Economically (since my focus is purely civil rights) - the only thing I know is that both Democrats and Republicans have royally failed the people which means we need an option C, and that C isn't a fat cat known for stiffing employees, conning vulnerable people, and running scam universities.
