I ask them "what do you not like about socialism" and then walk them to the capitalist equivalent. When they see the walls that late stage capitalism has put around their lives they get quiet. I like to think they are introspective but they are likely not happy with their bubble being burst.
I don't know where you live, but here conservatives have become so fanatical that absolutely nothing would convince them that socialism isn't the actual devil.
You'd have a better chance convincing the Pope that good doesn't exist.
He forgot the part where the puppet dad takes 70% of his childrens allowance and starts giving the land water and copper of their house to another larger house down the block.
One of the children is fine with this because at least it's not stinking socialism anymore and pretends to vote for puppet dad.

Bernie Sanders co-opting, then bastardizing, that word harms actual socialism. Sanders is opportunistic garbage
He's not a socialist, by any standard.
I mean democratic socialists are a thing and that's basically what they look like. I'm not any happier about it than you are.
DEMSOCS are not socialist, the want to work within the confines of capitalism and preserve its exploitation
They're not socialists. I can call myself "billionaire," bit it doesn't make me one.
He is not a socialist. He's proven time and again he's capitalist garbage copting words to keep people herded like cattle in the DNC.
That's not how that works, though. "Socialist" has a more or less clear definition, and it's hard to argue that Bernie satisfies that definition.
It’s the meme!
I'm grounding my kids for 60 years, to show them what it's like to be a Cuban Socialist.
I disappeared my kid's friends and their classmates. I had make sure that my kid's knew that I was in charge.

Wait...is this why my dad suddenly turned black?
That was og dad, now you get real dad, or dad 2
Nah this usually happens from bruising or lack of blood flow. Did you accidentally hit him with a hammer recently or wrap him in a rubber band?
Oh freezer burn Dad, you're the best!
Old dad is gone buying cigarettes. New dad is taking care of mom and you now.
Just a really bad sunburn, now tell me about [insert hobby here].
