Oh and my favorite, a clueless Libtard that's been brainwashed. Just because someone advocates for some socialism doesn't make them anti-American. Hell, I read Forbes on occasion.
We have always had socialism, government is a form of socializing in and of itself. Things like a tax payer funded military, cops and public schools are social constructs. Medicaid and Medicare and SOCIAL SECURITY are not communist ideas. It is a fucking myth that having a social safety net means those who advocate for it want Stalin's Russia or Castro's Cuba. I am tired of that old cold war bullshit.
But we do at the same time have a very destructive form of socialism. The 1% over the past 36 years have destroyed anti monopoly concepts and have basically turned Wall Street into a giant casino where they socialize the profits when they win and socialize the losses on the tax payers when they lose.
