@Mandalorian He's not a Socialist either. Socialism, in its full form, has never really been on the table in the U.S.

@Ynotisay I agree, I think he would be classified as a "social democrat"...I made the point of saying I'm not a socialist because of the group name...

@Mandalorian Gotcha'. You know, something I really can't forgive Bernie Sanders for was introducing the phrase "Democratic Socialist." It demands nuance. A non-starter for the country as a whole. Always felt it was really arrogant of him to do that. Pretty tone-deaf too.

@Ynotisay poorly chosen terminology on his part...
