Why do Democrats like Hillary & Obama love socialism so much?

[War on Politicians]

Might it be because it keeps most of their constitutents poor & ignorant which means they will never lose their main voting base?

Get to be too smart and successful & (God forbid) they might become a capitalist Republican.

[ideogenetic]

If capitalism worked, we would never have a need for socialism. Every country on earth has found out the hard way (multiple depressions) that the need for socialism never goes away.

Just this past week, the Federal Reserve bailed out a private Wall Street firm due to the collapse of market-driven financial engineering now crashing down around their ears.

The regulators fell down on the job and the markets created another systemically fatal monster.

If we stop socializing our losses from capitalist mismanagement and socialize gains instead, we wouldn't have these crises.
