    You’re right, or course, but socialism is a dirty word. I know people who collect social benefits and complain about socialism. It’s kind of hard to argue with that logic, because it’s just not there.

      That’s exactly my point, those people are never challenged on their beliefs. Joe Biden won the Florida primary by telling voters that Bernie couldn’t win as a socialist. Biden then lost Florida in the national election because Trump painted him as a socialist anyway, and Biden was like “nuh-uh.”

      You can’t win elections playing defense against irrationality.
