Absolutely filthy ideas. A social safety net for citizens? Thats a corporate prerogative get your hands off it peasants.
Affordable housing? Won't someone think of the poor investors, they can barely afford their small fleet of yachts.
Affordable healthcare? How would the poor employers ever compel their wage slaves to work themselves to death if the alternative death sentence wasn't available.
Affordable groceries? I think you will find Trump has already solved this, if you can't afford to eat a substandard meal every 2nd day that sounds like a you problem, did you even try to be born into generational wealth.
You are so right, socialism is just plain evil. After all it's never worked anywhere that it's been left to develop without external forces doing everything they can to destabilise and delegitimise it.
As a filthy foreigner who just doesn't get why America is the way it is I wonder if you could actually conceive of how socialism would bring material benefits to you? I am just going to assume you are not part of the limited sub section of society that would "suffer" under socialism, specifically the multi-millionaire/billionaire class.
Plus a single mayor being a socialist, even a hardcore ideologically pure socialist, would bring a tiny of sliver of socialism to your capitalist hellscape, is capitalism so fragile that having that tiny enclave of barely socialism would seriously endanger it?
