And you do not have to be a conservative to dislike centrists

I live in Silver Spring and have never met a true "socialist" here, maybe democratic socialists. Sounds like you are attracting a certain group of people OP. You might want to try to branch out and try different things. Most of my Democratic friends and I also go to church, so you could start with some progressive religious groups.

Is it too cold and dark? Go there and live the life you’ve dreamed of. Seriously, why not?

Because I was born and raised in this country, and I prefer to work on making things better in this country, which is my country.

Conservatives to refugees: Make your own countries better!
Conservatives to Americans: If you don't like my vision of America, leave!

First, I am more of a Libertarian than a Conservative. I don’t won’t you to leave but am wondering that if your are so awe inspired by other forms of government why you don’t leave. You know why and so do I. Because Capitalism is superior and always will be. Now, extreme Capitalism is not. There are limits of course. But, don’t go too far left lest we tamper the spirits of innovation and competitive will. THAT, is my point. Less government, more free markets. Especially in business. And if you are going to try to provide health care, then provide health care, don’t provide health insurance, provide the freakin care, directly. #inthePACpocket.

Dude, if you already know the answer, why do you even bother asking?

Now, as it happens, your answer is wrong, but whatever.

We will have to agree to disagree. You live your life and I’ll live mine.

I don’t speak the language. My work is here and I doubt I could find something similar abroad. My family is here.

Please stop pretending there are no barriers to moving to a new country. It’s hard, that’s why people don’t leave, in many ways we’re stuck here.

And we’re trying to make our country a better place. There’s still hope that it could improve. The hope that things could improve someday is enough to keep many here.

“I doubt I could find something similar abroad.” ... and why do you think that is? Awwww ... are you stuck here, awwww. So saaaad. Flipping hypocrite.

Huh? How am I a hypocrite? I have looked in the past. It was not easy, and certainly would be next to impossible to find two positions for myself and my spouse.

Yes, you are correct, for the time being I am “stuck” here, so I’m trying to bake it a better place to live.

yeah, because those socialist countries that are doing well PREFER to hire their citizens than foreigners.

More Americans migrate to Norway than the other way around.

It's a picture of a slum in Caracas. There were slums in Caracas before Chavez came to power. And there are slums in Latin America where Chavez has not been in power.

If you decided to go hetro (know it's not a choice ..) live in Loudon and go to sports bars, all your friends would be conservatives. You could probably make some older friends in Silver Spring who would be more middle of the road, but 8 years of FOX news telling everyone that Obama was a "socialist" made socialism sound pretty damn good to younger people.

This is what I was going to say. OP also goes to yoga. And if OP is vegetarian or vegan that increases the odds of having socialist friends, too.

For the record, AOC is Democratic socialist.
