It's a very simplistic question and she refuses the be limited by these categories. Economic views are more nuanced and debatable than categories with very broad definitions. That's a good sign.

Big decision this week - will Biden reappoint Powell as Fed chair or will he bow to the faux outrage from Dem progressives to nominate Brainard, who famously refused to tell the public whether she was a capitalist or socialist?

Progressive senators wrote a letter on Friday saying they don't like that Powell has said climate change risks are outside of the purview of the Fed (which is of course correct). I really can't get my head around climate change being a "systemic risk" to the financial system, but hey ho, who I am to argue with brainiacs of the progressive Dem wing? ;)

The real redpill with that is that if the watermelon Democrats actually cared about the climate future, they would end government deficits. Said deficits allow the government, and downstream of that: society, to live far beyond what it actually can afford.
But they won't do that because as with regular garden-variety communism, it has an inherent contradiction. They want a giga-state that controls everyone's lives, that provides everyone with everything they need, but are shocked when they encounter financial reality.

NYPD Cops Say Far-Left Politics 'Absolutely Destroying' New York City​


Over half of NYC police officers wish they'd never joined the force, a new survey shows

Over half of NYPD cops say they wish they'd never joined the police force, according to a new internal survey.

Many police officers are citing far-left politics for the spiral crime rates and anti-cop sentiment in New York City, which has, in turn, triggered their regrets.

56% of NYPD cops say they wouldn't become a police officer if they had a chance to do it all over again, the internal New York Police Department survey of nearly 6,000 officers found, according to the New York Post.

46% of officers said they believe the public disrespects them, versus 42% who didn't believe so.

A whopping 80% of NYPD officers, detectives, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains are hesitant to aggressively fight crime because of the ramifications of criminal liability, being sued, or being unfairly disciplined.

"My retirement date is next month," said a 20-year veteran of the force.

"I can't wait to run out of here.

"The city is absolutely not safe at all," he added.

"Bail reform. Criminals being released.

"Everyone knows what's going on."

"The far-left leaning politics are absolutely destroying the city of New York," a 16-year NYPD sergeant noted.

I see Florida has offered guaranteed positions to NY cops who wants to flee the city. A large number of cops already took up the offer and left.

No brakes on the pedo train.

On Friday, the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) voted to soften the language used to refer to sex offenders in the state board's standards and guidelines. The board voted 10-6 to change the term sex offenders to "adults who commit sexual offenses" in its Standards and Guidelines for the Assessment, Evaluation, Treatment and Behavioral Monitoring of Adult Sex Offenders.

The board is responsible for treating, managing and monitoring adult sex offenders in the state. Friday's meeting went over a list of five new possible terms, focusing on "person-first language," before the board voted to use the pick.

"I think the biggest thing is research really shows us that assigning a label has the potential for negative effects in rehabilitation," Kimberly Kline, a licensed counselor and chair of the board, told the Denver Post.

Perfect example of Newspeak.

North Dakota man who attacked Republican US Senator's office with axe: ‘I am Antifa’

A far-left North Dakota man who was convicted in federal court for attacking a Republican US senator’s office with an axe has ties to Antifa.

After Starks was arrested, Democrat leaders in North Dakota donated to his legal defense fund, which raised thousands on GoFundMe. North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party chairwoman Kylie Oversen, party executive Ellie Shockley and former lieutenant gubernatorial contender Ellen Chaffee all gave money to Starks. The North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party is the name of the local affiliate of the Democrat Party. Starks is a member of the socialist Nonpartisan League Party and has campaigned with them at events.
