Does, perhaps, the media help them make this decision? ;-)

Then why do Americans keep voting for socialism?

Because most 'Americans' can not explain the difference between capitalism and socialism. They can, however, explain the difference between the iPad and the Kindle.

There has been more than one example — Howard Stern in 2008 comes to mind — when someone will do “Man on the Street” style interviews, intentionally switch candidates positions, attribute it to the other person, and ask voters if they agree. The interviewed would praise the GOP’s side thinking it was the Dem's position, then state support for Obama. It's the American Idol mentality. People are ill-informed.

Then why do Americans keep voting for socialism?

Because the Republicans are afraid to call the Democrats the socialists they are. Even the Democrats do not dare call themselves that.
