The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

            Socialism has a definition, not sure why I’d need to provide one. In general, I feel the government should serve the interests of the people. I support things like welfare for all, basic income, guaranteed housing, etc.

              I ask because you seem to have a very different definition of what socialism is from me because everything you’re describing is just social welfare. For example, I an Anarchist (syndicalist, if you want to get technical), could be considered a ‘socialist’ as my ideology would have governance under a federation of industrial unions. No president, no electroeal college, no leaderism. I ask again, what do you consider “socialism” to be?

                That sounds like it would end up being a plutocracy within the first generation. Unions are great for workers, but they aren’t a magical solution for government.

                  Industrial Unions aren’t the same as trade unions. I’d recommend looking into the IWW as (pretty much the only) example of this.

          I guess it is a bit of a loaded question, but it was done with the intent of just finding out what they define their ideology as.
