Just the fact that Trump easily won Florida by falsely accusing Biden of being a socialist when he obviously wasn’t one, should be all the proof you need that Trump would have blown out Bernie Sanders across the nation. No more self-identified “socialist” candidates. Ever.
I’m not saying we run the “democratic socialist” politicians out of the party. I’m just saying that any of them who want to stay in the party should stop calling themselves “democratic socialists.” It’s the dumbest and most self sabotaging label of all time.
Imagine if certain republican politicians started calling themselves “republican fascists.” We’d laugh at them and thank them for handing us such an easy talking point to use against them. That’s how stupid it is to call yourself a “democratic socialist.”
Regardless of what YOU feel “socialism” means, most voters see it as one of the most toxic words in the English language. Calling yourself a socialist, and wanting to live or die on the hill of trying to convince voters of what YOU think the word means, it’s all time idiotic.
