[Gregorian]

2. Pay attention.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That may have been true 30 years ago. Not any more.

[Arugula Latte]

4. Oh, well, okay then.

That's that.

Pack it in, folks!

[Maven]

5. Mmkay.

6. Actually living here... in the actual United States of America...

has opened a lot of opportunities to talk to my fellow Texans about socialism. I basically start out by telling them that if they drive on freeways and take out their trash, they support socialism. It snowballs from there, and I get a chance to educate people on a not-so-scary word.

The times. They are a-changing.

[DefenseLawyer]

7. Thanks.

Duly noted.

[Autumn]

8. Well fuck. Let's just pack it in and

go home.

[cyberswede]

9. Half the people in my small town caucused for a socialist.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I mean, an actual Canadian won the actual GOP primary so anything can happen...

[Avalux]

11. Sorry but you're wrong. Thanks for your concern! n/t

[MrMickeysMom]

13. THAT, plus $1.99 can get you a gallon of gasoline here...

Take some tums, bud.

[Samantha]

14. People don't care so much about labels anymore

We have learned they don't mean anything.

But he is not a socialist; that is Republican propaganda. He is a Democratic Socialist and has been calling himself that for years. It means someone who embraces the platform of the Democratic party but takes it one step further to say the government should work for ALL OF THE PEOPLE - not just the corporations and the very wealthy.

18. You're in Canada? Will you do me a favor and start looking for property for me just in case

Trump or Cruz win in November?

I'm not sticking around for that.

[Motown_Johnny]

19. Not true.

We have just spent 8 years with the (R)s constantly screaming "SOCIALIST!!!"

We have all been desensitized to it.

20. Hi, Hillaryite

[HubertHeaver]

21. The word socialist has bad connotation only to those

who are >60 years old. It lost its scaremongering capabilities with Detant and was gelded completely when the Wall came down.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. ...and only stupid people over 60. My dad is 72 and a Dem.

[HubertHeaver]

31. You calling me stupid?

You have any idea what that yellow ribbon means?

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. I think you need to read my words again...

My father is not afraid of the word socialist.

Get some fresh air. I was agreeing with you. Oy.

[HubertHeaver]

35. Thanks

I needed that

[HubertHeaver]

40. Very sorry about my outburst. Took your advice. Back from walking the dog.

Beautiful night out.

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Oh it's totally okay.

I treasure those of us over 60 (by the way). ...and I miss walking my Jessie girl. Have a wonderful night Hubert.

[immoderate]

22. So far — so good.

You know that "socialist" is how they describe Hillary, or Barack? Has no meaning.

--imm

[Earth_First]

24. Our nominee?

I think you misspoke... MY nomineee.

Your opinion is duely noted.

However...

You don't vote for shit here.

[pinebox]

25. NO WE CAN'T!!!!!

[NightWatcher]

29. We elected a black guy who's middle is Obama

I think Yes We Can elect Bernie.

[Mister Ed]

30. I know. Sucks.

There's just no way voters are gonna elect a Jewish Socialist to the presidency.

Or an Irish Catholic.



Or a black man.




Don't get me wrong. I'd love to see the day when those sorts of things happen. We can all dream, can't we? Heck, maybe someday gay couples in the U.S. will be able to be legally wed.



*Sigh* Who am I kiddin'? Never gonna happen...

[Quixote1818]

32. Republicans have been calling Obama a socialist for 8 years. The word has no meaning anymore. nt

[JPnoodleman]

34. neither can Hillary,

The cost of her getting the nomination will be burning any possible base support. She will be left with ashes by the end of this if she wins.

[Hissyspit]

36. No thanks for your concern.

[Mrs. Overall]

38. I love how "socialist" is bolded in you post. Whatever doubt you are attempting to sow--

it failed.

[Lucky 13]

39. We elected a black man named Barack Hussein Obama

TWICE

Bernie will be just fine.

[AgadorSparticus]

42. This is going to shock you. But this is true. There is a large population here in the U.S. that

Would rather poke their eyes out with ice picks than watch fox news or 99.5 rabid radio. Totally true. So not to worry about them using the word socialist. ...because they use that term on ALL democrats at one point or another. The only people listening to this crap are the religious zealots.
