32% of Americans approve of Sanders' socialism...

[healthmyths]

I read this thread topic: 20% of Trump Supporters "disapprove of Lincoln freeing the slaves"
and it made me confident that following Americans never were taught in school these facts of "Socialism"!
Socialist/Communist countries murdered 149 million people since 1918..
So do Sanders' supporters support mass extermination?

Still, Mr. Sanders’s unabashed use of the term could become a liability were he to reach the general election. Just 32 percent of all Americans rate socialism positively, compared to 52 percent who view it negatively.

A recent YouGov survey found that 43 percent of millennials (respondents under 30) viewed socialism more favorably than capitalism. Only 32 percent saw capitalism as being better than socialism.
Highest Support For Socialism Is Among Millennials

Aaron Messing, a 25-year-old musician from Chicago, said he both liked socialism and Sanders because they tackle problems like income inequality. Messing said it was a shame Sanders wasn't more well-known among young people because the U.S. could benefit from some of his ideas. Socialism is "awesome," he said, adding "I wish it worked."

Democrat Adrianna Scuderi, a 25-year-old butcher in Chelsea Market, said she liked capitalism because “it sets up a lot of opportunities” for advancement. She’s not totally opposed to socialism, though, because “everyone is focused on the group and equal benefits.”

Young people’s inability to define socialism shows they don’t understand it, said Emily Ekins, a research fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based Cato Institute. Their opinions change depending on the words used to describe the movement.

Survey data backed this up. Only 16 percent of millennials could define the term in a 2010 CBS/New York Times poll, compared to nearly a third of Americans over 30. In a separate poll conducted by Reason-Rupe in July 2014, 64 percent of millennials said a free market system was best for the U.S. Only 32 percent wanted a government-managed economy.

You need Sanders' free college so you can learn the difference between communism and democratic socialism. He wants us to emulate Scandinavia, not China/Soviet Russia.

That alone proves he's an imbecile.

Thanks for playing though. Anyway, who cares, he's done unless he pulls off a miracle today, which he won't.

Why shouldn't they? Sander's Democratic Socialism is working well all over the world.

We didn't become the greatest, most powerful nation in the history of mankind through Democratic Socialism. Sanders and his ilk ar the reason we're tanking.. so yeah, let's have more.

It doesn't take a genius to look around the world and see that the more socialist a country is, the less freedom and the less prosperity can be found. If you don't work in Hong Kong, you are pretty much on your own. And they are prosperous as hell. Cuba guarantees its citizens EVERYTHING: food, shelter, health care, education, and old-age care. And yet it is about the poorest country in the hemisphere, despite a wonderful climate, fertile soil, and an intelligent and hard-working population. Thanks to SOCIALISM.

Socialism seems like such a wonderful idea; Take from the Rich and distribute the wealth to the Poor. But like many economic principles, it defies superficial analysis. For example, raising the minimum wage hurts the poor. Raising import duties hurts the economy. Lowering tax rates increase tax revenues (usually), and raising tax rates decreases revenues.

A fucking college graduate should know this stuff, regardless of Major.

You need Sanders' free college so you can learn the difference between communism and democratic socialism. He wants us to emulate Scandinavia, not China/Soviet Russia.

So he wants the USA to be modeled after:
Denmark with 1.7% of USA population right. An Unemployment rate 6.3% Tax rate:55.60 percent.
Norway.. . .011% of USA population and one of the most heavily taxed countries in the world with a total tax burden of roughly 45% of GDP
Sweden... 3% of USA population....The Personal Income Tax Rate stands at 56.90 percent., Unemployment.. 7.8%
Finland... 1.79% The Personal Income Tax Rate stands at 51.50 percent. Unemployment 9.4%
Iceland...0.03% Population .......The Personal Income Tax Rate stands at 46.22 percent.

So let's see... I guess that's what Sanders' wants is the USA TAX rate to be the above right?
Plus the above countries with less then 6.9% of USA population are ROLE models"!!!
My god people like Sanders are so naive!
The USA with 318 million people and various ethno-cultural backgrounds are NOT the monolithic group that the Scandinavia countries.
GEEZ why are they called "Scandinavia"??? Scandinavia s a historical and cultural-linguistic region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethno-cultural North Germanic heritage and mutually intelligible North Germanic languages and that IS easy to socialize.

So give me another rationale for Sander's "FREE services" because using Scandinavia as a "model" is so far off from reality!

Guys, we became increasingly a democratic social market economy from the beginning of the last century. We are not a free market economy.

Sanders has always believed in socialism, not Democratic socialism. He is smart enough to know that you don't declare to free Americans that we are going socialist. It's got to be a little step at a time or it gets rejected.

Socialism leads to communism.
