Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg (D) on Sunday dismissed President Trump’s efforts to portray Democratic policy pitches as “socialism,” arguing that the term no longer carries negative connotations.
“I think he’s clinging to a rhetorical strategy that was very powerful when he was coming of age 50 years ago, but it’s just a little bit different right now,” Buttigieg, the South Bend, Ind., mayor who has launched an exploratory committee to run for president, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The article goes on to state the following:
“Today, I think a word like that is the beginning of a debate, not the end of the debate,” he added.
“If you grew up during that Cold War period, then you saw a time in politics when the word socialism could be used to end an argument. …You can no longer simply kill off a line of discussion about a policy by saying that it’s socialist,” Mayor Pete Buttigieg says #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/lOwZoxRBTd

I am certain that the greater part of those deceived into believing false defs & understanding of the word have likewise wanted such a government because of wrong teachings & false compassion leading to restrictions of people’s lives

DON’T LISTEN!! SOCIALISM IS STILL THE SAME AS 50 YRS AGO JUST LOOK AT VENEZUELA NOW!
Socialism stifles any incentive to work, create or invent. IT STIFLES YOUR IMAGINATION AND DREAMS
BECAUSE TOMORROW WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME WITH NO HOPE AND/OR INCENTIVE FOR ANYTHING BETTER OR A BETTER TOMORROW YET TO COME!

Convention of States has been passed in 13 States. Time to reel in these crazy government idiots and cut the government into 1/4 of a Congress. There are way too many Democrats running for the office of President which is a clue of how out of control the government has become. I don’t know about you but the fact that there are 535 voting members that is (435 representatives and 100 senators) too many trying to dictate my life.
