Apparently in the US the voices are more likely to tell you to do violent things. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263513488_Differences_in_voice-hearing_experiences_of_people_with_psychosis_in_the_USA_India_and_Ghana_Interview-based_study

I wonder though about the step from hearing to acting. Like real people tell me to do stuff and I don’t do it. It shouldn’t be that hard to hear voices and be like “oh you silly, I’m not gonna do that”.

Sure, but justified or not, the personality behind the policies is very important to most ppl. She was the least popular candidate in the primaries. She ran a presumptuous half-assed victory lap campaign. She ran to the center and proposed nothing new or inspiring. She avoided difficult topics and fumbled when confronted with them. So, her policies were mostly fine (except of course that big one), but people maybe don’t want a non-leader type former cop to spearhead those policies.

You’re absolutely right- Bernie and I’m guessing most of his followers are social democrats. I seem to recall an interview where this came up and he basically shrugged the question off and said it didn’t matter to him what ppl called it. As for these political terms, I think Americans are broadly illiterate.
