Current Events > Would you vote for this hypothetical Democrat presidential candidate in 2020?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hypothetical, progressive platform for 2020:

1. We demand the union of all Americans on the basis of the principle of self-determination of all peoples.

2. We demand that Americans have rights equal to those of other nations.

3. We demand land for the maintenance of Americans and the settlement of our surplus population.

4. We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood. I

5. All citizens must possess equal rights and duties.

6. The first duty of every citizen must be to work mentally or physically. No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all.

Therefore we demand:

1. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.

2. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

4. We demand the nationalization of all trusts.

5. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.

6. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.

7. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.

8. We demand an agrarian reform in accordance with our national requirements, and the enactment of a law to expropriate the owners without compensation of any land needed for the common purpose. The abolition of ground rents, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

9. We demand that ruthless war be waged against those who work to the injury of the common welfare. Traitors, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished with death, regardless of creed or race.

10. In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious American to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the government must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State.

11. The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.
---

12. We demand the abolition of the regular army and the creation of a national (folk) army.

13. We demand that there be a legal campaign against those who propagate deliberate political lies and disseminate them through the press. In order to make possible the creation of an American press, we demand:

(a) All editors and their assistants on newspapers published in the English language in the United States shall be American citizens.

(b) Non-English newspapers shall only be published with the express permission of the State. They must not be published in the English language.

(c) All financial interests in or in any way affecting Americans newspapers shall be forbidden to non-Americans by law, and we demand that the punishment for transgressing this law be the immediate suppression of the newspaper and the expulsion of the non-Americans from the country.

(d) Newspapers transgressing against the common welfare shall be suppressed. We demand legal action against those tendencies in art and literature that have a disruptive influence upon the life of our folk, and that any organizations that offend against the foregoing demands shall be dissolved.

14. We demand freedom for all religious faiths in the state, insofar as they do not endanger its existence or offend the moral and ethical sense of the Germanic race.

15. In order to carry out this program we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the State, the unconditional authority by the political central parliament of the whole State and all its organizations.

The formation of professional committees and of committees representing the several estates of the realm, to ensure that the laws promulgated by the central authority shall be carried out by the federal states.

The leaders of the party undertake to promote the execution of the foregoing points at all costs, if necessary at the sacrifice of their own lives.

Where's the option for I'd vote for literally anyone else?
---

The literal Nazi Party.

Probably still better than Trump.

Trying to equate the Democratic party with Nazis doesn't work if you have to change a bunch of the points of the Nazi Party.

Probably madfoot. He's the one with a Nazi obsession

No i'm pretty sure this one is SMAL. Feels like we haven't heard from him in a while, anyone remember what his last account was?

you slipped up

That would literally not be a Democrat.

I nominate this for the "dumbest topic of 2018" category. You've outdone yourself, TC. We're not even 22 days in and you've already pretty much got the award locked up.

Sounds like a pretty broken policy platform. WOuld not vote
---

Well, now 5 people would. :O
---

Now 6 people would vote for this progressive candidate. :D
---

no I'm voting for Trump in 2020
---

voted yes because such objectives will never be achieved without dems seizing both houses of congress + white house, and i think the odds of that are slim

even if they got it i doubt they'd be able to get 51 votes in the senate for any of that platform

i obviously don't support out-and-out communism but i recognize the importance of divided government when you're on the losing side of political structures like gerrymandering

this is also why i don't really fault my center-right friends for voting for trump. they didn't expect much of his agenda to pass either.

is this a new proudclad acct

Proudclad isnt even close to this crazy with his trolling.

Its obviously someone who has a ton of banned accounts like madfoot or SMAL with the amount of posts it has. Plus, someone like Proudclad wouldnt be posting nearly 300 times in 10 days.

not trying to be mean just wondering

i do think this thread offers a point worth discussing: the embrace of extremist leaders by those much more moderate than they are, under the assumption their agenda will be tamped down by the party

i think that drove many trump voters who disapprove of him now (but will vote for him again in 2020) and i know it'd drive my thinking with an actual communist candidate

now that you're here i'm interested in your thoughts on the subject
---

I'd vote Republican just to keep that candidate out.

Sounds like Nazism my man, hellllll no.
---

I say this as someone that shills for Hills, I'd sooner vote Trump 2020.
---

This "hypothetical" candidate sounds like a total piece of shit. Next!!

It's Hitler's platform.

basically im starting to wonder if youre a closet communist like @COvxy

jk

I think people definitely vote that way. I know I would if I had to. People know that candidates often say bullshit in order to get votes, with no intention of following through. (Lock her up, the wall, etc)

I'd never vote for a communist though. I'd be part of the resistance / revolution like my family before me in Romania in the years leading up to 1989.

welp I guess I'm voting for gary johnson again, hopefully I can just reuse my old sign
