      Yeah, the American “definition” of socialism often seems to just be everything left of fascism these days. It’s really weird how America has weaponized the term.

    I sure wish they’d stop calling it socialism. But anyway, don’t you just want to shake those “no opinion” people? How can you have no fucking opinion?

      If they take these polls via texts/mobile calls, that could be a portion of people they contact who don’t respond or decline to participate.

      Regardless, I don’t trust polls anyway, especially when all of this is going to be used to justify the insurrection act anyway.

    I wonder how much such polls are going to be used by the Maga fascists to justify election interference and a new red scare.

    I watched the video to get an idea of what they were asking.

    I’d be curious to see what the support was for the actual policies that are being labeled as socialism.

    A couple of weeks ago, it was at about 3O%. The Citizens are tired of waiting for the parties to serve them properly, and are quickly carving their own political path. The parties better figure this out, and either get on board, or get out of the way, because we’re no longer taking orders from them.

    We’re in control now, and they will serve at our pleasure, so…“What have you done for us LATELY?”

    I am about as asocial as you can get, I would rather use a coarse bastard to flay my skin than talk to another human…i think socialism is better than capitalism. Take from that what you will.

    Right now I don’t think either side is looking out for the average American citizen or the longevity of the country. My next vote is no confidence.

      Remember kids both parties are exactly the same, they’ve caused the same amount of damage, both hate gays and immigrants the same amount, both have destroyed the same amount of regulations on businesses that harm us. So don’t bother voting because they’re exactly the same. That’ll fix things for sure.

        Both parties are blatantly corrupt, violate constitutional safeguards, both are rewriting history and reality, both parties cancelled infrastructure spending, both parties cancelled economic development and new energy projects, both parties cancelled student loan assistance ……

          Both parties make their money by serving their puppet masters who steal money from us. The middle class used to capture 25% of GDP back in the 70’s. Now we’re lucky to capture 7%. And we’ve had plenty of politicians from both sides that just made the problem worse. It’s not Dem’s vs. Rep’s, it’s the rich enslaving the poor. Always has been, always will be.

    My family grew up in pure socialism. It’s pretty shitty. Not defending capitalism, but I rather take capitalism over socialism anyday.

    We honestly just need money out of politics. Overturn citizens united.
