Bernie Sanders got 13 million votes in the primaries of 2016 and the total electors in the final vote was 127 million. That's a good 10% of the people voting "socialist", as you would say.

Of course depends of the country, here the muslims are practically all conservatives and that is what i see of them all over the world, it isnt a "bad thing" at all, like all things, its has the good and bad aspects.

are you considerer socialist?, is something shocking coming from somebody of USA, on the other hand, is a good thing of you the tolerance for religious people, for me the problem is not the religio, is the fanatism (in everything).

Except his not really a socialist. He’s what’s considered a democratic socialist (which I consider myself). He’s essentially someone who believes in the democratic system of government, but wants to use socialist policies to improve it. I myself am a little more extreme. I’m a crossover of anarchist, socialist, and liberal (so far left, but without extreme social ideas). I would imagine I’d like Green, Pirate, and Social Christian parties (though we have the very stupid two party system here in the US, which I think is why our government is failing currently).

Still being shocking the existance of socialism in USA, i know the old Sanders who lost against Clinton.

No I am not a communist. Communism doesn’t work. I am a democratic socialist for that reason. I can aide people, while still ensuring their freedom (even if they disagree with my politics). A good leader, is someone who understands that there are better goals than power in life. If I could just improve one persons life, than mine would be worth it. That’s why I’m so passionate about human rights, the lower classes, and equality.

500?

Are you sure those are political parties? Not parties with asado and empanadas everywhere?

And for a law of 2009, there are less now: in that time we have near 1000 political parties, here you have national, provincial and local parties......the most part are peronist, socialist or comunist, probably the 90% of them
