Yes, some Democratic programs, ideologies, and plans have socialist tendencies, but it's the same way that our current Republican administration has programs, ideologies, and plans that have Nazi tendencies. Which side sounds better? Socialism or Naziism? Just kidding, of course. It doesn't have to be black and white like that. Democrats can see the viability in a little bit of socialism, and I mean a little bit. The problem with conservatives is that once we say "everyone should be able to eat," they freak out and say "you're a socialist! Burn him!" What's wrong with everyone getting a fair shot?
Honestly, I'm down for whatever works. That's why I am more Democrat than anything else. Their plans make sense for the public good. Conservative programs only seem to help corporations. We've tried that before and it didn't work out. #Reaganism.
