Showing Original Post only (View all)Sanders is a SOCIALIST. Pointing that out isn't "red-baiting". [View all]
I haven't spent much time on DU and even less in the Primary Forum. But at this point it has gotten absurd that his supporters get bent out of shape and start accusing others of "red-baiting" or being a freeper/bagger when pointing out the FACT he is a Socialist and has his own ideal AGENDA.
Agenda is a normal word to use in politics.
I am a pretty far left Democratic Socialist and am perfectly fine talking about my ideal world, my political identity or my agenda.
The fact so many Sanders supporters are so incredibly touchy about what Sanders is and using the correct terminology about him doesn't bode well for him or his supporters.
He is a Socialist. He has a Socialist Agenda.
Deal with it.
It's too freaking bad if the corporate media and rightwing has used the terms 'Socialist" as a verbal boogieman.
There is no other freaking term that applies to Bernie. It's a term he has used for decades.
Or don't deal with it.
