Everybody keeps saying that....WHY?
What are they going to say? Lemme guess...
OMG TEH SOCIALISMZ!!!!
As we have already seen on
Reader Rant - some on the political right think that the 1930s German Democratic Socialist Party was left wing.
So they equate Bernie Sanders with 1930s Germany and can't understand why half of America is not upset with Bernie being a "socialist."
...and when these same folks are not breathlessly hyperventilating about Bernie's "socialism," they're conflating American Socialism with Communism.
Never mind the
FACT that Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment, Fire/Police protections, Interstate highways, are all paid for by the contribution from everyone for the benefit of the whole, and are indeed, examples of American socialism.
