    ‘Radical’ and ‘socialist’ in US politics are not only nothing of the sort but are nowhere near, so no I do not mean that in any sense.

    Don’t put words in my mouth my post was clear.

      They weren’t putting words in your mouth. They said:

      “The people who would benefit the most from Democrat-championed social programs that they now label as “radical” and “socialist” you mean?”

      They were talking about the poor and working class people who have been convinced by “Conservatives” that those programs are somehow radical and socialist.

        Once someone’s reading comprehension gate slams one direction in these conversations it’s hard to get it to flip the other way sometimes. I also tried, but I expect he’ll tell me to fuck off next or something.

        Oh well. Thank you for also trying!

          Say what? I thought I understood and supported your original statement, but now I’m not sure.

          Who were you referring to when you said “the poorest most easily manipulated people”?
