Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign for the presidency was something of an irregularity. Here we had an elderly, bad-to-the-bone communist pressing in the recent college grads at his primary campaign rallies. The inquiry “why” was properly inquired.
It is safe to say that we are to infer that those in their twenties are confirmed leftists? Maybe they observed Hillary to be as loathsome of a candidate as those on the right, and just couldn’t force themselves to help any of the Republicans.
Read about it... and the FBI still investigating Jane Sanders.

LOL. the two are much alike in many way. Communism is just a higher form of socialism.
My social security check is an annuity. I paid into it for 40 years. I'm not getting back something for nothing and what I'm getting back depends on what I put in.
Social Security is NOT socialism. It seems that “socialism” has become confused with “social democracy.” Social security was an anti-socialist maneuver by a conservative government.
I wouldn't consider today's Russia a Communist country.
Social Security was instituted by FDR. If he wasn's a Socialist, I don't know who was. Where would you get the idea that the Roosevelt Administration was a Conservative Administration. FDR was a Capital D Democrat.
Social Security started in Germany. I never said that the Roosevelt Administration was a Conservative admin. Seriously, I know you think I'm stupid, but really!
Sounds like there's envy out there for collectors of SS and Medicare, back off and concern yourselves about section 8 housing cheaters who never will pay into anything.
Annuities are contracts with private companies that you enter into willingly understanding the full terms of the payout prior to entering into the contract. That is not the case with social security and medicare - you have no choice and you have no idea what the actual benefits will be when you begin paying into these systems. I understand your unwillingness to accept that these are socialist entitlement programs but your denial doesnt change the facts. And there are great differences between socialism and communism - its all in the details. Again, interchanging the terms demonstrates a tendency for rhetoric over insight.
Medicare is not its own health service. It provides seniors with insurance to use in the private sector. The doctors that seniors use are not employed by the government. Voila! Like a band-aid, it's not socialism. No argument. And, well, social security is the providing of funds for seniors to use in the private sector. Again, they aren't buying groceries at government owned warehouses. Thus, not socialism.
I can't think of any countries where they are buying groceries at government owned warehouses. The biggest Starbucks in the world is in Shanghai; Communist China.
