re: #335 Targetpractice

Arguing that “democratic socialist” isn’t the same as “socialist” is semantics, something that voters are not going to do when going to the polls in November.

That’s not the argument. Bernie isn’t a socialist, he isn’t a democratic socialist either, just to complete the list he isn’t a social democrat. He’s an egotist, a fake lefty like Rand Paul is a fake libertarian.

The closest I can find to him in European politics is Melenchon in France (and Melenchon, even though I despise him, is less fake than Bernie).

Bernie is no Corbyn. Corbyn is a well liked constituency MP promoted above his pay grade.
