(61,033 posts)politics and political systems know thatthe average voter we need to persuade to vote Democratic?
And seriously, with 51 days to the election and us favored to at least win the House, why throw an issue like: "Are Democrats socialists? into the campaign when many less sophisticated voters still view socialism as having negative connotations?
We don't need that baggage now. We need to be clear headed and not screw this up because if we don't at least get the House, trump will continue his reign of chaos and deference to Putin which frankly, is endangering our democracy. Let's save our country.
There will plenty of time to extol the virtues of the socialistic aspects of our society after the election when we've wrestled some political power back from the traitorous repugs.
