Americans aren’t embracing socialism

Hartmann Report - Americans aren't embracing socialism—they're rejecting 45 years of Reaganomics, billionaire rule, and an economy rigged against the middle class. Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan, declared yesterday morning, seems to have broken the brains of Republicans and the chattering class.

Donald Trump’s pathetic bleats notwithstanding, people voting for progressive Democrats and “democratic socialists” aren’t voting for communism or even socialism; they’re trying to get America to the same sort of economy and form of government that works for everybody — a system somewhat like the one a majority of us had before Reaganism

Absolutely agree. We need an economy that works for communities and is more equitable than an economy in which ther billionaires steal everything. One thing missing in the discussiopn by the chattering class is that economies grow faster when they are more equal and when there are higher taxes on the rich. I can provide real references by actual economists, not pundits for the rich, if you ask me.
