Americans, you have to take the chance that what you understand as socialism, really isn’t what it is, elect socialists, and find out for yourself. So your own research, by way of electoral experimentation. Vote for the most socialist and see for yourself how it goes.

“do your own research” is a phrase that has been misused by internet conspiracy theorists so much it is painful to read by now. it is not something you tell to someone you want to convince about anything. it is what your uncle says when he wants to shut you up about telling him that government is not made up of lizard people or what fox news repeats when they want to condition you to thinking rhat billionaire yax is a bad idea…

Yeah this is a trigger phrase for me. I don’t think you can use it without sounding malicious even if unintentionally
