Photo: Marc Piscotty/Getty Images : The Democratic Party’s primary front-runner is a socialist. A Tuesday morning NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll gave Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont a double-digit lead over the rest of his competitors in the primary. In all but one head-to-head matchup poll, he defeats Donald Trump. Nationally, Sanders is one of the most popular politicians in the country, according to a ranking by YouGov.
The gap between what Americans think of Sanders and what they say they think of socialism is not new. In one Monmouth University poll released in 2019, 57 percent said that socialism is “incompatible with American values.” Americans love Sanders, they hate socialism; when forced to reconcile this contradiction, their hate will win out.
Gallup has been measuring American attitudes toward socialism for decades, and their research is useful here. America might not be ready for a socialist revolution, but public attitudes toward the ideology have warmed over time: Americans in 2018 were almost twice as likely as Americans in 1943 to say that socialism means equality, defined as “equal standing for everybody, all equal in rights, equal in distribution.
Umm. Nope. Try again.
Sanders SenSanders is not a socialist though he insists calling himself that. Warren ewarren correctly calls herself a social democrat.

He Falsely Confessed to A Double-Murder — and a New True Crime Podcast Examines WhyRobert Davis' false confession is examined in the new podcast Wrongful Conviction False Confessions It is interesting how police interrogate people to confess to crimes, they didn’t do. You’d think it would be very uncommon but it actually isn’t. I'm curious as to why the siblings would admit guilt & then implicate this guy? They must have really not liked him. False confessions are definitely an issue and more common than we are aware!
