    Not hundreds, tens would likely be enough.

    You should look upcheck the study Bernie conducted mid last year. It tested socialist policies without calling them such. If I remember correctly most were popular with the significant majorities of both Republicans and Democrats. Socialist ideas are popular in the US. People very much support Bernie and AOC’s agenda which is full of socialist policies. E.g. universal healthcare, free education.

    Yes fascism has already won, we’re at the tip of a trend that started in the 80s. Well actually earlier but the 80s present a recognizable acceleration point. We (not just the US) need to reverse the trend, not change how steep it is for a time.

      And yet they don’t vote for politicians who support these things. Hypothetical polling does not gauge the realities of voter behavior.

        You need to watch Noam Compsky’s manufacturing consent.

        It teaches you why government propaganda is legal in the US and how it is used to benefit the rich.
