1. He's a socialist. He caucuses with the Democrats, but he's not one.
I don't get your point.

5. I have heard him describe himself as a Democratic socialist
meaning that the socialism part includes a belief there are certain minimum levels of benefits the Government should enable everyone to have, for example, health care.

2. Bernie's my hero.
I wish there were more of him in both the federal and state legislatures.

7. True that!
He can call himself a Purple People Eater for all I care! I wish he were in Ohio so I could volunteer for him!

Bernie is my dream candidate for president - he's everything the Dems SHOULD stand for.
