I find it quite ironic that a simple word (Socialism/Socialist) scares the crap out of so many, yet Trump's racism/bigotry platform still has quite the strength and support to win a presidential election in this country?

Obviously – America is still living in the good old days of the 1950’s.

An American can’t run and win a national election as a flaming liberal, yet one who’s values mirror that of say….”David Duke” has a lot better chance.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
