The man is a Socialist, and most people are afraid of Socialism. Things would need to get really really bad in America for Americans to want such drastic change.
Yep, I agree. Even tho I skew socialist (I’m a Conservative Socialist), you are right about Americans being loathe to adopt it or even accept the name. Most people, even here on Lemmy, see the term “socialist” as a pejorative.
Though since the election I am seeing more and more people being pissed about how the democratic party screwed them over and they are more open to third parties. So maybe the socialist parties here in the US may see an uptick.
Which is hilarious to me, because I got banned from .world (and other instances) because I proudly said I voted Socialist instead of Democrat or Republican. lol

That’s a circular argument. You’re saying he couldn’t be elected, despite his massive popularity, because he’s a socialist?
Now would the purple party put a socialist in power? No. Would the people? Yes.
If Bernie was the candidate in 2016, or even 2024, I in my heart truly believe he would have won.
Well said.
And I would have voted for him!
You don’t know what a circular argument is 🤦🏾♂️
Who says he’s that popular outside of the Democratic party?
Aww, that’s cute. Who cares? 😂
Thanks for the down votes. You’re not the kind of person I want to speak with anymore. Have a good day
