Socialism is not communism (the far-right's boogeyman). It is not a fascist dictatorship like the USSR.
Democratic Socialism is capitalism with social programs where needed, such as Social Security, Universal Healthcare, public utilities, police, fire, highways, roads, EPA, OSHA, FAA, SEC, and public education.
It is not a profit-driven, unregulated, unfair, unjust, monopolistic, theocratic, oppressive, fascist corporatocracy where corporations and the wealthy gouge consumers and create an ever-widening income disparity. That's what today's Republicans are hell-bent on creating.
Democratic Socialism is about worker's rights, consumer protections, environmental safeguards, financial protections, an end to predatory loans, a stop to monopolies that eliminate competition, a fair (instead of an unregulated "free" cheaters-always-prosper) market, non-profit justice, and a halt to the gutting of public education.
CRT is a law school subject, not taught in K-16, and it's not about white guilt. And no, Democrats don't want your guns. They want to eliminate weapons of mass murder, such as AR-15s. They want reasonable gun laws such as background checks and a return to keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. They want a return to having financial advisors to have the client's interests foremost. An end to the nanny state the self-righteous right-wing is creating.
Wake up and look closely at the degenerates you are voting for.
