The best part about Sander's "Democratic Socialist" platform is that until this point, Fox News' rhetoric is to tar democrats with this "dirty word", and they distance themselves. Now when Fox News says he's socialist, Bernie will say "Yes, and here's why we need that." It will be amazing to watch. self.SandersForPresident

Gosh, I'm so excited to see him on Fox News. Their rhetoric is to paint democrats as evil "Socialists" without any reasons as to why that's a bad thing. The democrats almost always distance themselves from this word. Now Bernie is saying, yes I am, which basically takes the wind out of their sails! The best part is that until now, there hasn't really been anyone who is a self proclaimed socialist. Now he can speak the truth about it. Man this is going to be amazing to watch!



A good description of Socialism http://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/34hrt3/socialism_a_shortish_primer/

1. I am an idiot and dont know about Reddit, I mean I know it exists, hear about it all the time, but

but dont know what to do with it?

Anyway, I have always thought his biggest problem other than age, hair style, lack of money (none of this should matter but all of it does) was the socialist tag.

Is there a way to use that?

So Bernie went on Fox and stated the fact that democratic socialism is good and needed?

3. When President Obama was constantly being called a socialist

It was the first time many of the younger generation heard about the party. The Socialist Party grew faster than it had in decades.

Same here on reddit

4. I am pretty new to Reddit. I had just about given up on everything but

I was reading things that the kids were posting. I am now enthused and can't help laugh at some of the things being said. They have their shit together. Generally if someone doesn't know something they just ask and here comes a flood of some VERY smart people with the answers. http://www.reddit.com/r/sandersforpresident

2. Fabulous strategy

to detoxify that word - socialist.

I donated to his campaign yesterday - and so glad he is in the race! Finally someone will mainstream the people's voice!

6. Free National Defense for EVERYBODY !!!!!!!

Its called being a National Defense Socialist.. and its what the conservatives do.

7. The evil Socialist are those who provide welfare to the rich.

Tax breaks to oil companies for almost a century make it possible for Romney to pay 13% taxes, rich who live off the government dime yet deny supports to anyone else, etc... Republican Socialist for the Rich

8. First off, he has to point out programs already in place that are socialist in nature, ie, Social

Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Fire Departments, National Parks, etc.
Then explain how these concepts help us out and make the US standard of living what it has been for the past 100 years.
Who knows, Bernie has the ability to do this much better than i could and maybe he could even get "liberal" off the dirty names list.
