    I am not, by nature, a leftwing true believer. But I don't understand the case for Democratic moderation in 2020 when Trump will call everything "socialism" and say that Republicans will be sent to the Gulag for having plastic straws.

        Better socialists than fascists, but then again, voters don’t truly understand what either of them mean.

        Yes, Republicans will call anything socialism. But it still doesn't make sense for Dems to adopt policies that are broadly unpopular. A Medicare public option is popular. Eliminating all private insurance isn't. It's easier to defend popular plans than unpopular ones.

        Calling everything socialism is all they know how to do. Oddly enough they're OK with socialist payouts to farmers hurt by Trump's tariffs.
