I love, LOVE AOC but she needs to distance herself as well from them.

Neither she nor Sanders are even socialists, democratic or otherwise.

They are bog standard social democrats.

Not clever to self-label incorrectly in reactionary America. And, nope, they cannot re-define a globally accepted term that has been around for 200 years in its modern form. It just the RW fuckers easy ammo to false smear our whole party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
