Bernie Sanders has a socialism problem

Bernie Sanders is arguably more popular in 2020 than he was in 2016. But socialism is not.

Socialism has remained consistently unpopular within the United States for years, and that has not yet changed, despite the growing enthusiasm for self-described democratic socialist politicians such as Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A new Gallup poll confirmed on Tuesday that a majority of the public (53%) still does not want to vote for a socialist candidate, even if that person is “generally well-qualified.”

But that majority is shrinking, especially among Democratic voters. More than 70% of Democrats said they would vote for a socialist, whereas just 17% of Republicans and 45% of independents said the same. The bloc of independent and moderate voters will be the group Sanders needs to convince if he hopes to beat President Trump in the general election, if Sanders wins the Democratic nomination, that is.

This won’t be easy, especially since the voters who tend to oppose socialism are also the voters with the highest turnout. Americans who are born before 1975 unanimously reject socialism. Even among Democratic voters, Sanders polls 30 points better among Americans under 45-years-old than voters older than 65.

Bernie's "problem" isn't socialism.
It's sumthin' else.
Begins with a "c"...

If Bernie is such a socialist and believes in socialism why is he a multi millionaire with three big houses? Questions the proletariat should be asking.

This is socialism!

Sanders's pitch to the gullible is that utopia is readily available for them without any effort on their part. He appeals to every millennial stoner/slacker who can't get out of their parent's basement even while approaching thirty. 
And every college grad with a worthless degree and a mountain of debt acquiring their worthless degree.
The rich, the one percent  are held responsible for the failures of millions of skulls full of mush who think life has treated them badly, and who don't want to take responsibility for anything they've done.
In short, Sanders is like all commies...offering something for nothing.
