You gotta love that only 65% of the """leftist""" party's voters in the US have positive views on Socialism.

  The Dems have never called themselves leftist. They are quite eager to point out that they are the Neoliberal party: “We’re capitalist, and that’s just the way it is,” - Nancy Pelosi.
  Unfortunately, when you've got 2 choices, one being "Let's round up the pinkos" and the other being "Nothing will fundamentally change", the actual Leftists have to choose the lesser of two evils.

    Yes agreed. That's kinda what I wanted to highlight. There is no real political pluralism for people in the US which must suck

    The right gets to be as right-wing as it wants and the left is stuck with pandering neoliberalism at best. Yes, it does suck.
