Don’t be afraid. If you like firemen and their services, roads and highways, bridges and dams, social security then you like democratic socialism. It is as American as apple pie. Government funded services should be run by the government not private businesses. These are needs that should not have a profit motive because they are for the health and safety of ALL Americans not just a select few. Workers should have protections in the workplace, livable wages and everyone should have healthcare without having to rely on their employers to fund it. This is what are tax dollars should be going towards, not endless war that costs trillions and trillions of dollars. We also need protections in place to ensure regular people are not taken advantage of by big business and to remove the influence of big money contributors in our elections. Egalitarianism is Americanism and the most patriotic thing about our wonderful country! Democratic (By the People) Socialism (For the People)💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
