    It goes to the silly republican view of socialism.
    Food stamps can’t be socialism because everyone pays taxes.

    I wonder if they saw internal polling regarding the green new deal and the new house dems?

    Top dems say they don't know the difference between their party and socialism.

    ..."Let me just ask, since this is a tax debate, what is the difference between a socialist and a Democrat on taxes?" Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked Sen. Sanders (I-VT) in a nationally televised debate Wednesday night on CNN.

    "I don't know the answer to that," the Independent Senator from Vermont answered.

    Its going to be them denying they are leftists, and Trump pointing out how they are.

    Way to go dems-this is one of the fastest declines of a party I have seen.

    The dems call things racist, where they are not and the repubs call things socialism, when they are not. So, either there is some basic stupidity going on, or dishonesty. And probably some of both.

    Bernie was the Pandora's box that lay unopened during his first run for president. Thanks Hillary!

    But, now people want a taste of what's inside that box.

    Well the way people on the left are acting, it sure marks the time that the Red Scare is over.

    LOL - Socialism is the Democratic party's raison d'etre. Without it the DP will cease to exist.

    It could be but it seems clear that it is the view of many democrats.

    Democrats use the best of all systems... that is the best system... restricting yourself to just one system is setting yourself up for failure

    Democrats have a dumb barista and a terrorist sympathizer as the leader of their party.

    And, in comparison to Trump, they are Female Versions of Abe Lincoln.

    It is the GOP who are led by an IMBECILE (Trump).

    Pot meet kettle.

    Why socialism is seen as satanic heinous doom? Some people think that it's same as communism?

    Socialism isn't against quality of living. When I look at socialism in my society, it's all about equality, reason, caring and taking country as whole - not just following agenda from the rich (well, we don't have any real rich, nothing like Bill Gates, we tax crap out of people). I really wanna know what are those nightmares when you guys think socialism.

    I'm not saying to deny capitalism, but if you clean up all socialism from society what you get by doing so? (going to another extreme is good?)

    Last I checked, Nancy Pelosi is a :censored:. If you believe a word she says, support her, or take her seriously you're an idiot.

    In this day and age, being an American and voting :censored: is like being a jew and voting for nazis.

    Then in the same way, Social Security "is the means and production" of retirement benefits, and Medicare "is the means and production" of medical benefits for retirees. Which of those have you opted out of?

    Police is a protective service which is government's primary reason for existing. I don't think you know what socialism is.
