America Is becoming A Socialist Nation - U.N. Ambassador

      Socialism, despite its history of failure, has become mainstream this year and is being adopted by Democratic politicians as their go-to default economic policy, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley warned Monday. "2020 was the year Socialism went mainstream,” Haley wrote on Twitter. “The dangerous ideology, which has failed everywhere it has been tried & ruined countless lives, is on its way to becoming ….. the Democratic Party. This terrifying trend threatens the future of every American,” she added. 

      One of the biggest non-secrets in America is that the Democratic party does not support the Constitution. (Unless it is used for rhetoric) A poll last year among Democrats showed that 47% favored a Socialistic government, not capitalism. Congressman-Elect Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., a new member of Ocasio-Cortez's "Squad," caught attention for claiming American capitalism was "slavery by another name." A New York Post article featuring polling that socialism wasn't actually popular among Americans and faced considerable opposition from the country. The poll by Rasmussen and the conservative Heartland Institute reported that 75% of Americans said they preferred free-market capitalism over socialism. That other 25% is in the Democrat Party and they appear to control almost half of the party. The ruling elite are still hanging on to power but for how long? 

      Earlier this month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a young Socialist firebrand, said in an interview with The Intercept that it’s time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from their leading positions to make room for a new leadership. She also talked about replacing moderate Rep. Richie Neal (D-Mass.) as head of the Ways and Means Committee. While Ocasio-Cortez has called for new leadership in the party, she also rejected the idea that members should force House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif out, for now. “We are currently negotiating to get and work towards real material concessions for the left that can move things into place, to help build power for the next two years,” the Congresswoman said.

      Haley's comments have come amid an ongoing internal struggle for the future of the Democratic Party. She cast former Vice President Joe Biden as being beholden to the radical progressives and their socialist agenda. While some Democrats have resisted policies typically associated with socialism, those ideas appeared to gain traction. “Their vision for America is Socialism. And we know that Socialism has failed everywhere,” Haley said at that time. “They want to tell Americans how to live, and what to think. The left believes that government knows best. They want a government takeover of healthcare. They want to ban fracking and kill millions of jobs. They want massive tax hikes on working families.” If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that when govt dictates how the economy is run, Americans suffer.

       Haley declared, "Now is the time to rally our fellow citizens to ensure that every American can achieve their dreams and bring our country and people to new heights of achievement. The only way Socialism wins is if we don’t show up. So let’s show up, stand up, and speak out, for the sake of America’s future."
