I have to say this.

106. If the official label mattered

Then the fact that the democratic socialist was soundly defeated in the primary would have freed us from it.

Biden could denounce bernie, aoc and all other elected officials as disloyal communists, have them all deported to china and stripped of us citizenship, and in 4 and 8 years, the Right would still persuade half of Florida and a lot of others that Biden and Harris are dirty socialists. These are the same people who have convinced a lot of millions of people that trump is maybe still winning the election, and that democrats are running a pedophile ring under a pizza shop.

It has nothing to do with any official labels we use. It has nothing to do with any ideas or policy preferences. It has to do with the preponderance of propaganda.
