Most House Democrats Oppose GOP Resolution to Condemn Socialism. House Democrats overwhelmingly opposed a resolution to condemn socialism Tuesday that Republicans also used to elevate their voter ID and citizenship bill

Well, how does this work? Condemning and announcing socialism yet we have been a socialist country since the new deal. I mean, are we criticizing ourselves or all the other countries who are more successful than we are as socialist countries? I never understood how conservative could be so emotionally affected by a word

Let’s be transparent, Vince. This was not a stand-alone condemnation of socialism. The House already passed H.Con.Res. 58, "Denouncing the Horrors of Socialism," on November 21, 2025 WITH bipartisan support. This was H.Res.1490, and it: * condemns and denounces socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States; * reaffirms its support for free, fair, and secure elections and calls for enactment of the SAVE America Act; * reiterates that American elections are for American citizens only; and * recommits itself to upholding the U.S. Constitution. It was NOT just condemning socialism; it was hidden support of the SAVE America act, which is another way of suppressing the vote. You know that, but your post conveniently left that part out.

The GOP needs to learn what socialism is first 🤣

I wonder if Congress had a vote on something let say condemning fascism, how many Republicans would vote against it? The sad reality is there are facets of socialism baked in our current society and there are plenty of your constituents that benefit from them. But yes let’s have a pointless vote to condemn something.

192 House Dems refuse to disavow socialism in telling vote ahead of midterms: 'Insidious movement'. Almost every House Democrat on Tuesday voted against a congressional resolution disavowing socialism and calling for the enactment of President Trump's election security bill. The non-binding resolution,

Congressman Langworthy, condemning authoritarian regimes is one thing. Pretending that every policy labeled “socialist” is an attack on American freedom is another. The United States has always been a mixed economy where private enterprise exists alongside publicly funded programs. Social Security is literally a social insurance program, while Medicare, public schools, highways, fire departments, farm programs and veterans’ health care all use government resources to serve the public. Americans can legitimately disagree about taxes, spending and the proper size of government. But calling an enormously broad political ideology a “cancer” spreading through the Democratic Party isn’t a serious policy argument—it’s fear-based rhetoric. Supporting Social Security, Medicare, affordable health care, stronger worker protections or public investment does not mean supporting authoritarianism or surrendering individual liberty. And perhaps the most American freedom of all is the right to advocate different political ideas and settle those disagreements through elections. Constitutional liberty belongs to conservatives, liberals, libertarians, social democrats and democratic socialists alike. You don’t protect freedom by suggesting only one political philosophy is authentically American. Vote Aaron Gies for Congress!

House adopts resolution condemning socialism , with 8 Democrats joining Republicans

All of those Democrats believe in Democratic Socialism. Tell me, Vince, what you find wrong with democracy as practiced in the Nordic countries. They have universal healthcare. By contrast Republicans are content to see their base suffer medical bankruptcy over and over. Trying to scare your base by using scary rhetoric is a demonstration of what a failure Republican leadership is.
