"I noticed that the Democratic Socialist in NY could not answer how we will pay for what is in her platform"
Another point... and perhaps you have an answer to this one.
There are some democratic socialist countries out there. You could think Denmark, Sweden, Norway... Why do you suppose there's no pressure on our immigration system from that area. You'd think folks would be clamoring to get out of such hell holes.
I've never been able to figure that out. Also, why don't countries with national healthcare just vote to get rid of it?
Help me out would ya. You seem to have your finger on the pulse here.
