I think in non-metropolitan towns, trying to sell Democratic-Socialism just won’t work. Maybe on a college campus and cities like Chicago....you might convince 50-percent of Democrats to buy off on this....but the bulk of folks just aren’t going listen to this stuff.
The problem is the word. What Ted Kennedy referred to as “the S word” still polls as very negative.
Free sh*t with other people’s money, on the other hand, is quite popular....
