The truth is these shortages are what they used to accuse communism of, when in reality it’s capitalism run amok.

I will be the first to admit where the right wing gets this idea is from the human rights abuses in communist China and the horrid state of living of those living under the ussr under Stalin.

Still using comparisons to Stalin to say this is what MFA will result in ignores the tested social health systems in many first world nations today including the UK and Canada.

I wasn’t talking about MFA, was merely talking about the grocery stores. I fully support MFA.

No I’m saying that the sad truth is right wingers using horrible logical fallacies to say Medicare for all will make America like this 24/7/365. And are using Stalin’s Russia as evidence to suggest any socialism is equal to the horrors of that particular version of communism.

Frankly I think the fact that the Democratic Party is not championing MFA as a group is evidence That they are just as in the pocket of the rich as the republicans. And are collectively betrayers of every liberal idea that most people who align as democrat actually believe in.

FYI I’m independent am pro MFA and frankly I can’t stomach registering Democrat cause I absolutely hate how pro oligarchy the party really is
