It's because for a lot of Americans, capitalism isn't "working" for them. As wealth continues to centralize, their quality of life isn't improving and class mobility is stagnating. People aren't necessarily advocating for communism, they are simply frustrated with the current american political and economic system. It's easy to project a false dichotomy where there isn't one. This is also why populism is on the rise - people are simply facing a sliding quality of life, and our leaders seem useless to do anything about it.
