That's the thing right there. I think most people are actually somewhere in the middle but social and mainstream media keep feeding us this sensational nonsense that makes us think otherwise. It's a problem.
Mickey has made this claim for years because he receives social security. You will be hard pressed to find any other left viewpoint coming from him.

You are still of the mindset that SS is a government handout. Do your research. It’s a retirement plan I was forced to pay into from the age of 16. It’s not a good retirement plan. If all the money I paid in went to an IRA instead I would get a much bigger check. SS is irrelevent to my political beliefs.

I’m middle of the road because I believe we have the right blend of capitalism/socialism as it is. We don’t need to move further to the left. But you can’t reason with progressives. If we let them they will keep moving the country to the left by increments until it’s full blown communist.
