I can't believe we have to go through a year of far-righters talking about socialism when they neither know what socialism is nor understand what democratic socialism is nor understand that even with respect to democratic socialism only one democratic socialist is running in 2020
It's like if I told you I was going to call you at inconvenient hours every day for the next year and each time I did I addressed you by a mispronunciation of your name and then argued with you condescendingly each time about which of us knew how to really pronounce your name
I mean at what point is this just smart people arguing with stupid people and media covering the stupid people as though they were smart people and smart politicians pretending not to be smart so they can look smart by quietly hoovering up an additional 1.15% of the stupid vote
I think it's fine for Fox News to spend the next two years talking about "socialism" without anyone on either side of the camera or watching at home having any idea what socialism or democratic socialism or progressivism is but if other outlets do even a bit of that it's shameful
