We all need to be having these conversations to promote critical thinking and ultimately empower our public purpose.
Challenge previously held positions and beliefs.
Our constitution Guarantees us democratic socialism. Govt for, of, and by the people is socially owned govt for our general Welfare. That's democratic Socialism enshrined in our constitution. Read the preamble, read article 1 section 8 of our constitution. This is about govt provisioning a civil Society in perpetuity.

The mainstream media butchers the word "socialism" but even worse they undermine our public purpose...
We have a socially owned, CURRENCY issuer and regulatory authority (congress) who is CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated to mint and tax to provide for our general Welfare and common defense, TO INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY (our public purpose).
Every job that pays dollars and all income denominated in dollars is ALWAYS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT on indefinite federal spending to maintain that paid employment or income denominated in dollars. So how our CURRENCY ISSUING federal government spends, taxes, abd regulates, CENTRALLY PLANS how we organize our Capitalist economy in reality today. Put reality over ideology.
CAPITALISM only even exists in the PRIVATE sector, and only to the extent our socially owned govt allows through the way it spends taxes and regulates. Govt owns the PRIVATE sector completely with it's power to impose tax, and then be the MONOPOLY ISSUER of the only tax credit, dollars.. So nobody even truly owns land in AMERICA, In reality we all RENT (pay tax) just like communist china and the rest of the world.. The ONLY "Free" market (as described by right wing neo-liberals) is the BLACK MARKET. The dollars in your pocket belong to the govt, and they are all subject to recall (taxation) at anytime PER THE CONSTITUTION. We can only LEGALLY spend the GOVTS dollars on the regulated market which is only created by INDEFINITE federal spending, taxing, and regulating SUPPOSEDLY for our GENERAL WELFARE.
SO what the media is trashing as "evil socialism" is just scare tactics based in fantasy. We need our CURRENCY issuing federal government to spend the dollars required to provide all the essential real resources a modern, civil Society REQUIRES to exist in perpetuity. Real resources like a military for the common defense, and infrastructure and healthcare and education etc to provide for our General Welfare, to INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY. Because it's essential we have smart, healthy POPULATIONS with opportunity and justice for all, for AMERICA to exist in perpetuity. #NONPARTISANSForProgress #WeAreTheRevolution #LearnMMT Look up Drs Stephanie Kelton and Fadhel Kaboub to start. #EachOneTeachOne #WeAreTheMedia.

#saynotoSanders
A word about "Independents", that term is merely a voter registration designation. It means nothing much about the convictions of the person who holds that registration.
All of the Bernie supporters who spout off about Sanders being an "Independent" and not a Democrat are deluded! They have been propagandized by the Democratic Party to see that voter designation as a free thinking and acting individual who stands above "Party". Not so!
In the case of Sanders he has had a long time agreement with the Democratic Party in his Sate of Vermont. This agreement is that the D. Party would not run serious candidates against him for the Senatorial Race. In return Sanders follows their Party line and votes on their Bills in Congress.
Sanders acts as a Democrat walks and talks as a Democrat of the "Old Guard". He uses the stand by language of the Old Timers Union Organizer. This is why he "sounds" like a Socialist! But Sanders is far from a Socialist and Hillary framed the term for him of "Democratic Socialist" taken from the same time of FDR and used for the purposes of painting Bernie "leftist" in order to run in the Democratic Primary 2016 against herself in a controlled oppositional relationship.
