It’s appalling how ignorant people can be.
I believe 70% of the American public could not give you a remotely passable definition of “socialism.” That is why they don’t recognize it when they see it on the ballot.
Of the 30% who could give you a passable definition, at least half of them (or roughly 15% of the population) would tell you it’s what they want for America.
Think about what that means.
