Episode #21
The Impossibility of Socialism in America
The Democratic Party is showing signs of being divided, and in this episode, Dan Sullivan and Mark Young talk about why a Democratic candidate is unlikely to win the next election.
Two parties: The Democratic Party might actually split into two parties, and two candidates might come out of it in the fall.
Progressivism ending: One can see what’s happening now not as the beginning of socialism in the U.S., but as the end of progressivism.
Only value: Nothing has any monetary value other than what is determined by the marketplace.
No seats: It’s possible for a candidate to receive a large percentage of the popular vote in the U.S. without winning a single electoral seat.
Unlikely elimination: It’s unlikely that the electoral college will be eliminated because that would require agreement from the very states that the electoral college protects.
