I don't even see how that would be possible to agree 75% with conservatives and 75% with a fringe lib socialist nut (and there is nothing center about him). Now I think something's wrong with the poll, since I doubt a poster on this board would be mostly on board with Sanders. (and please don't take that as an attack on you, I just don't get it.. if you want, you can look at your answers compared to his, that might be interesting) |

JD... socialists aren't nuts. |

There are a number of highly-developed socialist countries that have a higher standard of living than we do. It's true they don't have as many billionaires, perhaps, but that consider that while we have more billionaires, we also have markedly more poverty than some of these highly developed "socialist nut" countries.
They simply refuse to leave the masses behind while a relative few prosper beyond imagination.
Socialism is not ANTI-capitalism. It simply is a sort of managed capitalism that allow entrepreneurs to prosper, but doesn't forget that there are others in the mix also. |

Socialism has failed for decades yet people who hang on to it aren't nuts? I thought the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for different results. |

The biggest areas I was comparable to him was in Domestic and Foreign Policy. The other areas not so much.
The key was that areas you list as important, skew / weight the results. |
