You make the distinction between actual socialism and socialization of certain institutions, but then immediately claim democrats are trying to push socialist agendas which leads me to believe you're being disingenuous or you don't know what "actual socialism" is, which I assure you is not nearly as mainstream as you'd like to think.

Perhaps my post was not clear, but I mean the leftist wing are pushing socialism, not mainstream Democrats (yet). My fear is that there influence in the party will grow and in a two party system where am I to go? It won't be the Republican party.

Also I am sure there is a perception bubble effect but on pretty mainstream sites like reddit I regularly see posts and comments blaming all of societies ills on Capitalism that are highly up-voted.
