Hillary Clinton is going to lose: She doesn’t even see the frustrated progressive wave

271. There are those of us who have more faith in Americans' ability to evolve, than you clearly have

It's about time America had a real, live Socialist-Democrat candidate,
who has the guts to explain straight-up and with clarity, exactly WHAT his policies actually are,
and what they would mean to average Americans.

America has been entirely deprived of that experience over the last 40+ years.

Humans have a natural tendency to demonize what they are never exposed to and have no
actual experience of (case-in-point: The easily-accomplished demonization of Moslems over the past 15 years in the US,
based largely on their sense of "foreign-ness" to most Americans).

You seem to have no confidence that most Americans can overcome their state of well-conditioned,
thoroughly-propagandized word-prejudice regarding the word, socialism.

I predict, for millions of Americans, it will be akin to fearfully experimenting with smoking marijuana,
after decades of wall-to-wall propaganda about cannabis being totally bad for you, destroying your brain, and making you a psycho-killer, etc etc.
When they experience the "high" and realize it is entirely pleasurable, benign and even therapeutic in some cases,
they will realize they have been lied to all this time by their leaders, and will (finally) respond accordingly.
