1. Was FDR ?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Is he even really a Sanders?

I can't remember ever seeing him in a white suit, with a silly little beard or bow tie, much less hawking fried chicken...

[KamaAina]

4. Or, for that matter, swimming in the Olympics

[Trajan]

3. Define Socialist

He is a Democrat who supports social legislation, just like me ....

5. Bernie has said repeatedly that he is not a Democrat.

6. This is a parody thread

of all the "Bernie is a racist" posts.

7. Bernie made a mistake when he called himself a Socialist

He really isn't a Socialist but by calling himself that he put a big target on himself. The majority on DU are cool with it but it will not play well in middle America. Too bad

[YoungDemCA]

8. No, he's a liberal who makes the common mistake of idealizing Scandinavia

[Trajan]

10. Well ... THAT is a strawman

What if our motivation to become Liberals/Progressives has nothing to do with Scandinavia ? ... what if it's born instead of a desire to improve the lot of working families?

My word ... the ugly is coming out ... beaucoup ugly ...
