22. Oh, they would use it for sure

They'd use "socialist" just like they use "liberal." But just like "corporatist," the bogey man loses some of his fearsome image when there's nothing behind the hype.

In the debates on TV, there won't be "a socialist" or "a corporatist," but rather Bernie and Hillary. It's there where the party will be demanding, "montrez vos couleurs!" Bernie has nothing to lose, so I have every confidence that he will. Hillary had better be prepared to do the same, or seriously diminish her chances with those of us whose primary preferences are as yet undecided.
