    And what about what middle America wants? The voters, you know, that we have to get? “Socialism” is a non-starter for people outside of NYC.

      middle america wants the same things that leftists wants (eg healthcare, education, childcare, equitable living conditions, etc.).

      the word socialism itself is a non starter thanks to the propaganda against it; you only need to see how mamdani was attacked even in new york for it.

      Middle America has a lot of unmet needs, with a horrible health care system and food insecurity. Most will gladly embrace anything that may help.

      What many see as crazy politics is a desperate attempt to latch onto anything remotely promising.
