Yep. Cuz America's 1%'ers DO call what EU socialist countries have Santaism. ancianita Jun 2016 #2

I Think The Word He Wanted Is Santa-nism! n/t ChiciB1 Jun 2016 #12

Nah, he doesn't believe the religious narratives. At all. ancianita Jun 2016 #16

That is bullshit, Bill. Most of the country has been in a recession for over two decades. LS_Editor Jun 2016 #5

Yes. How dare Millennials look around at the higher quality of life elsewhere and get all uppity. ancianita Jun 2016 #17

I think you are missing his main point which is that cstanleytech Jun 2016 #18

He ignores economic realities and blames a generation that had nothing to do with them. LS_Editor Jun 2016 #21

No, that was not his point at all. passiveporcupine Jun 2016 #32

Well I could be mistaken of course *shrug* cstanleytech Jun 2016 #34

There are various strains of socialism. David__77 Jun 2016 #7

When did Maher go conservative? liberalnarb Jun 2016 #24

He's a libertarian rpannier Jun 2016 #40

I remember when he was a libertarian, but he wasn't an economic libertarian. liberalnarb Jun 2016 #41

Maher endorsed Sanders, but said last night he wasn't espousing Socialism, more like Santaism. Hoyt Jun 2016 #29

If he hadn't asked BS earlier how he'd pay for socialism, Maher's being disingenuous and silly. ancianita Jun 2016 #36

No, he's speaking truth to those who think the world will be better if they don't vote for HRC. Hoyt Jun 2016 #38

But Santaism is the wrong sell. Socialists have this pro-lap band guy on their side. ancianita Jun 2016 #39

Maher has no children in their 40s still repaying student debt. JDPriestly Jun 2016 #46
