"SNIP....

Back in 1949, as the Iron Curtain descended, when Americans were asked what they understood by “socialism,” the top answer (34 percent) was government ownership and control. That percentage has dropped by half, to 17 percent. In 2018, the top answer was “equality” — which nearly doubled from 12 percent in 1949 to 23 percent last year.

Republicans who think Medicare for All, taxing the rich and a Green New Deal are “dead on arrival” might be in for a surprise. Even if the president denounces them as “socialist.”

Let Trump rant about socialism. Democrats can talk about an agenda to promote equality


....SNIP"


DING DING DING DING DING! We have a winner. Now we know why there is so much talk about what socialism means on the DU. Trolls are trying to change the meaning back to 'government ownership and control' rather than 'equality' which it means most popularly now.

3. Why don't Dems make it a referendum on Crony Capitalism ? If any Dem is asked whether they

are Capitalist or Socialist, say Capitalist but not Crony Capitalism, which represents the Republican Party.

5. Trolls is the right word.

It is very visible in trying to turn one candidate against another. I see it often.

Right now we need to support them all.
