Might I remind you that what you call “socialism” is generally called “basic human rights” in the rest of the developed world?
Europe is not socialist by any means, nor is Japan, nor is the UK, but they all have reasonably priced healthcare and education, varying degrees of help for the homeless, etc.
Not having children starve in school because their family is poor is not socialism, it’s basic decency.
Not being forever in debt because of a medical complication you likely had no control over is not socialism, it’s basic decency.
Providing services that make everyone’s life better is not socialism, nor is properly regulating what corporations and billionaires can and cannot do, it’s a reasonable middle ground with seems to elude you and many of your compatriots.
You Americans need to understand that, despite the decades of propaganda you’ve been fed, your country is woefully behind compared to the rest of the world. If you want it to get better, you need to set aside your prejudice towards “leftist” (and I mean it in the lightest sense of the word, even the right-most of right-wing parties abroad doesn’t wish to eliminate public healthcare) policies, or you’ll be stuck being the richest third world country for the rest of time.
