Christine Hallquist became the first transgender person to win a major party nomination for governor of a state. Joining CNN Wednesday morning from that state of Vermont, Hallquist admitted, “I’m not sure I even know what socialism is,” when asked about the economic system.

The host asked Hallquist’s views of capitalism and socialism, specifically citing that “for the first time, more Democrats viewed socialism favorably than capitalism.”
“I’m not big on labels, I find labels are used to separate people,” Hallquist said in response, “I look at the platform of a living wage and healthcare for all — that is called civilized society.

Offline is a documentary on the inevitability of the Earth being slammed by a mega solar flare – not the common type that interrupts communications and creates a light show in the Northern skies – but the big brothers thousands of times more powerful. These monsters deliver enough energy to blow apart the master transformers that supply the planet’s energy grids. When that happens, the lights go out for longer than anyone wants to think about.

This country is in a whole lot of trouble with candidates and voters who are this ignorant of the things that can destroy this economy and indeed this nation!
The first thing that needs to be addressed by anyone who serves within, or wants to serve within, our governments – state and federal, is do they even know what type of government we have here in the USA? Our government is NOT a “democracy”, it is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC which is very different. We have only one PARTIALLY democratic process which is elections. The framers who created the USA said much about how bad a “democracy” is. Alexander Hamilton: “We are a Republican Government.
