Listening to someone ramble as they try to formulate a thought, and I’m thinking: “Come on already! Can’t you take a moment to put your thoughts together and think about what you want to say, and you know, formulate the idea and then, you know, say what you want to say in a clear way, not waste all

I appreciate a good analogy...
Imagine you have a friend. Let’s call him Rick Reasonable.
Now imagine you have an enemy. Let’s call your enemy Bart B. Oilingwater.
Bart is a real piece of crap. Whenever he sees you, he throws boiling water at you.

Americans have really got to unlearn the propagandist indoctrination that socialism is bad.
It means that everyone has what they need, resources are shared, and we care for the earth & those around us.
We've been taught to hate it so capitalists can keep exploiting us and working us to death.
