The Republican Party is closer to socialism than the Democratic party is to socialism. Subsidies to dying industries. Bullying private companies with "national security" laws to sell to donor friends. They're every bad socialist trope from the last 80 years. https://twitter.com/steven_metz/status/1307374751023878156
The Democrat's GND has the opportunity to jump start a trillion dollar industry vs the GOP's investment of billions in subsidies for fossil fuels, which is a gigantic loser economically.
Getting universal healthcare passed and forgiving student loan debt will result in MILLIONS of added jobs and new small businesses exploding.
Shutting down the payday lending industry and getting the post office into short term lending will lift millions out of poverty.
Decriminalization of soft drugs and criminal justice reform will allow millions back into the job market, and billions in new tax revenue.
The Republican ideas on economics are not only normally bankrupt, they're not even good for a healthy free market economies. But that's not the goal is it? Nope. It's an oligarchy.
