I don't get why the right wants to bash the left all the time there is nobody nuttier on the left then Alex Jones and nobody sleazier then Rush Limbaugh.  Plus on top of all that there is nobody on the left that tries to sell you snake oil like Alex Jones does.

Do you listen to or read any news? Do you not see or hear the comments that most celebrities make? Eminem? Kathy Griffin? Shia Lebeouf? What about all the protests? How about politician's like Bernie who wants socialism?

You do realise that some of the countries with the highest standard of living on this planet do have socialist democratic systems?!

There is already massive amount of socialism in the US just the wrong kind since its mostly in the form of massive bailouts and unnecessary subsidies.  But keep on listing to snake oil sales people and religious hypocrites if that what makes you happy more power to you.   

Sure, we have social safety nets but none could be called socialism. Those programs can be attributed to good ol' fashioned human decency. Down on your luck? Sure, we'll help out for a bit. That's just trying to be to your fellow countryman. Corporate bail outs aren't socialism unless it leads to the government owning the company they gave it to.

Socialism is what Venezuela attempted by seizing companies and turning it into such a 💩 that people ate all of their pets. Equality in squalor. Btw,  just to clarify I'm not saying the people there are bad but their leaders are.

Exactly, so don’t exaggerate in trying to compare what Bernie wants with your idea of socialism.
