A Socialist can't win

It wasn't that long ago, so I remember clearly when a black socialist Muslim Marxist from Kenya beat a white capitalist war hero.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

The current Republican party would find a way to call Richard Nixon a socialist. What? You mean you wanna start the epa and limit the rights of businesses to pollute all they want? Why do you hate America, you socialist?

Sanders is a self-described socialist. Obama was none of this: "socialist Muslim Marxist from Kenya"

Obama is also a capitalist, so I'm not sure why that's relevant to McCain.
