The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

You're viewing a single thread.
As an unabashed liberal and Dem party voter: enough is enough. Let the future get started already.
Same from a progressive/democratic socialist.
What exactly is a democratic socialist? I ask this as an anarchist.
Socialism within a democracy as opposed to say socialism within a dictatorship.
How do you define "socialism"?
Socialism has a definition, not sure why I’d need to provide one. In general, I feel the government should serve the interests of the people. I support things like welfare for all, basic income, guaranteed housing, etc.
I ask because you seem to have a very different definition of what socialism is from me because everything you're describing is just social welfare. For example, I an Anarchist (syndicalist, if you want to get technical), could be considered a 'socialist' as my ideology would have governance under a federation of industrial unions. No president, no electroeal college, no leaderism. I ask again, what do you consider "socialism" to be?
That sounds like it would end up being a plutocracy within the first generation. Unions are great for workers, but they aren't a magical solution for government.
Industrial Unions aren't the same as trade unions. I'd recommend looking into the IWW as (pretty much the only) example of this.
This doesn't seem like a bad faith question at all.
I guess it is a bit of a loaded question, but it was done with the intent of just finding out what they define their ideology as.
That's precisely my point. It's a question that was asked in the furtherance of a specific and very obvious regime of intent. In that sense it was the epitome of intellectual dishonesty.
Then you will be glad to know that you can run against her in her district.
I'm not moving to California, but I do hope someone who already lives there will do that.
She does fairly well in her district so don't hold your breath.
