MODERATORS
I know that this is what a lot of Americans think socialism is but it's worth pointing out that socialism is not communism.
Communists want to take over with force and violence and overwhelming thought policing. Inevitably this pisses people off and ultimately doesn't work. See literally every communist regime ever.
Socialists simply want to implement progressive policies and are generally happy to do that within the confines of current law (assuming the current law isn't oppressive).
The US becoming socialist would simply be via a series of increasingly progressive policies over a period of several electoral cycles. It wouldn't be violence in the streets.
