That may be true, but that is only part of it. It is also about us, as a country. About caring for eachother. About Unity. About Love. Of course, financial success, and the inclusion of our animalistic/competitive nature must be allowed to express itself in a free way, hence, capitalism, which is fine, but left to our own devices, we would turn into cavemen again, killing eachother for food and women. The only thing that is stopping us is our constitution, which basically saves us from ourselves by not allowing greed and power to corrupt our entire system. Of course, these forces can't be stopped, but relative to other countries, our rights our kept intact despite the individual drives of some who are as corrupt as any. People are so basically evil, and if left to it, would rob everybody, and screw over anybody to get a buck. This is embodied in the Republican ideal. Let everybody fight for themselves, and that will make us strong. Well, in a fair system, that might work. Survival of the fittest. But, we are human. Not everyone is created equal, and there has to be some fostering of that reality, not a denial of it. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about anymore.
You say he doesn't stand for anybody, he stands for socialism? What do you think socialism is? A chance to cancel out the 'haves' and 'have nots' so it is fair for everybody, and all are created equal. It's not a bad idea, it just doesn't work in practice because humans are basically flawed, and it never would work. The idea though, is still valuable, and you can't deny that. There is great inequality in our country, across racial, gender, and religious lines. There's needs to be some compassion for our differences as opposed to opting for a uniform majority to represent us all, as the republicans wish. I am NOT a socialist, I am just playing the devil's advocate, and highlighting that in theory, it is not bad, at least certain parts of it. Further, I'd like to point out that in no way is Barack's policies 'socialist.' Taxing the super rich a little more, because they were born into a system that works for them? Taking the burden off the majority of the country, who are the backbone of our economy? Yeah. that's socialism...right. I call that smart.
