I put part (maybe a lot) of the blame on social media, where you find others with the same view and thoughts. I also blame the media, and people who think if it's on the internet or on the TV it must be true, and so they do no research on their own and they have no clue about how to think for themselves.

If you're lazy socialism sounds good. If you don't know how it's utterly failed in other countries, I can see it sounding good, especially when a prominent politician like Sanders lies about how good it is.
