Capitalism was the most popular option only because sadomasochism wasn't included, apparently.

It does appeal to both sadists and masochists, though.

Not a competition. One is a running-mate for most powerful position in the world. The other makes music loved by many. Both are awesome in their own way. Walz being more popular than capitalism is news that generates dialogue on the future of progressive values. This headline is nothing but an attempt to divide their respective communities.

Walz was not more popular than 'capitalism', it was the other way around. But the fact that it was close is pretty cool.

What? Its possible to like two (or more) things at the same time.

This is why I don't believe the polls.
