Yeah I'm cynical. It's difficult for me to believe a bunch of Johnny come lately's parading behind an orange colored cartoon character that have all flipped flopped on their historic positions can be the answer to our problems. I think we are all being played, call it a hunch.It's about taking back democracy, which has clearly been hijacked.I was trying to use language you would understand. You people used to see socialism in everything that wasn't free market idealism before you adopted Bernie's platform.
Trump has adopted Bernie's platform? No, that's the Dems. They basically adopted much of his platform to try and retain Bernie voters. The Bernie voters Trump attempts to get are the ones who believe the system is rigged. But they're not doing it through adopting some sort of socialist platform.
I'll give you this. You're not completely wrong. Repubs in large part have accepted socialism to a significant degree. They're not talking about banning Social Security and welfare and medicare. So, it's a mixed bag. But this election isn't really about these definitions you present. It's about taking back democracy, which has clearly been hijacked.
You are being played the fool. More like it's about handing Hillary the keys to the white house.
That's a nice bottom line if that's how you see it. But you make no case for it; so, I would be delving into conjecture to even argue your conclusion. If you believe the conspiracy bla bla bla, then fine. But it's readily apparent, the corruption just in our voting system. That has been on display. That's no conspiracy. This has been the case on both sides. Maybe, you're cynical and think it won't be changed all the same; but my point is that Trump/Sanders supporters are being a voice to that end.
