March 6, 2020 – After Super Tuesday, Democratic voters have winnowed the field of presidential hopefuls down to two major candidates who are separated by only a handful of delegates: Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden. But among Democrats and Republicans, the word “socialism” is likely to be a big part of the campaign regardless of who wins. NMiF Senior Producer Matt Grubs talks with UNM professor Matthew Simpson on the realities and perceptions of socialism.
