(11,949 posts)The republicans saw it worked here and almost parlayed it into a win.
And it is a self own.
For the last 2 Democratic Primaries the second most popular candidate was a self described socialist.
You can spin it however you want. But words matter. Adjective Noun. When the noun in your self description is Socialist you are a self described socialist.
I cant believe democrats are shocked the socialist label worked. A big percentage of the party supported a self described socialist. Why should Americans doubt that lots of democrats are socialist?
When in fact the number of actual socialist in the party could have a meeting in a medium size conference room.
If you dont want your opponents to label you with something it is best not to claim that yourself. And too many of us did.
That the down and dirty.
