Meet the rising socialists challenging the Trump presidency

In the United States, left-wing Democrats backed by former Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders have suffered a setback overnight, after voters in the mid-term primary races favoured traditional candidates over their more liberal challengers.

The Democratic establishment says sticking to the centre is the best way to win over Trump supporters. But, as Kiran Moodley reports, others continue to call for a radical agenda, arguing that 'democratic socialism' is the best way to take down the President in 2020.

Do you trust the government? If the answers no, then why would you want to enlarge that very government?

I am STRONGLY against the government forcibly taking people's money. It is not their money it not anyone else's money. People can donate their money to whoever they want, or they can not donate it at all. It's THEIR money not the governments.

The majority of American "Socialists", including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria OC, are not actually Socialist. What they advocate for are Social Democratic policies, such as those that are very successfully practiced in Scandinavia.

NAZI Germany had it's roots in "National Socialist German Workers’ Party in 1920"....   just saying ...things can start out with some good intentions but easily get hijacked ...one thing a lot of folks refuse to accept is that there is NO magic pill that fixes the REAL problem....which is that evil people continually migrate into power ....in ANY system ...therefore EVERY regime will have corruption ...be careful for what you wish for is all I'm saying....that pie in the sky you THINK is there?  Never is.  Just even more power slots for evil people
