As of late, I would say yes. The wars, the bailouts, Q.E. those are all huge socialist programs.

Bernie is the ONLY one up there I believe and trust. He's honest, been singing the same song for 40 years, and calls Clinton out on taking the money from everyone. I'm over Wall Street, big banks, lobbyists, etc. If this make me a democratic socialist, so be it, titles mean nothing to me. Maybe I'll finally get something for the 40K I pay in taxes.

A plan whose time has come.
Without even looking at it, the question that's not being answered: How are we paying for this thing?

Democrats will promise the sun, moon and stars. They'll promise anything to get elected. But they're kinda lousy at balancing the checkbook.

Trump has promised to replace Obamacare with something wonderful that will take care of everyone and the government will pay for it.

The polls show the masses are buying into it.

Because the GOP has balanced one? How balanced was the spending bill Ryan and the (R)'s just passed?

What kind of point is it that you're trying to make? That we should continue to settle for mediocrity? That's it's worthless to strive for success because in the past we haven't been successful?

My point is partisan complaints about a bi-partisan problem only adds to the problem.

That's absurd. It's perfectly acceptable to question and express criticism over the idea of proposed policies that are doomed to fail. People don't have to accept future failure just because there's been previous failure.
