There are still LTE complaining that Bernie's a socialist (GASP) or a Communist (nope) or a Marxist (not that either) and I always point out to them that this is 2016, not 1956 and the younger generation wasn't around for McCarthyism so they are immune to the Red baiting that might influence some older voters. (I'm a Boomer). This is 2016, not 1956.
