Can I seriously not make a single post in this thread without you going ballistic like literally everything I said with the possible exception of "socialist" versus "democratic socialist" was 100% factual.

2) Not really; you mentioned front runner and then listed off other candidates. Doesn't necessarily mean he's second; also you said nothing about him other than "socialist" which isn't even accurate. He's a democratic socialist; IE what Scandinavia has, what Canada has, what most of western Europe has as well.

so you're saying a democratic SOCIALIST isn't a SOCIALIST
I think his point more than anything was clear
you're too young to understand politics BAM

Besides the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee was asked a while ago what the difference is between a Democrat and a Socialist was, and she couldn't answer the question lol. Leads me to believe there is none, making the term "Democratic Socialist" about as redundant as "Republican Bigot".

Yeah, those 14 year olds will never understand the importance of misrepresenting a politicians stance to make them look bad. What a n00b

what's so bad about being a socialist

Looking only at the nationwide poll leaves a large gap in your knowledge

Nothing is blatantly wrong with socialism, it just has a bad stigma because of this mass of uneducated Americans that grew up with BETTER DEAD THAN RED EVIL SOCIALIST EMPIRE mentality.  Then there are just the plain selfish prick conservatives that don't like the idea of collective wealth going towards public betterment.

Polls are increasingly worthless so I really wouldn't just sit behind them with your arms crossed to prove your point.  I personally still think Sanders is far too left-wing to have any practical chance at winning the nomination, and would stand no chance at all in the general election.  He also fairly strongly supports gun rights (disregarding his pre-debate flip) so I am auto-opposed.

Yeah, some people think it's 1950...Sounds like that 50s propoganda with capitalism=Christian is still around.

Sort of like how people think Trump has a chance at becoming president because polls. Yeeeeeeeeah right. The Republican race turning into a race where people are beating each other at saying the most outrageous shit. Sanders has a lot of great ideas, but how much could he do as president? We're better off with 100 of him and Elizabeth Warren in the Senate and 400 in the House lmao.

If one top person doesn't know it, surely it means no one else does???

If the chairman of the Republican National Committee couldn't answer what the difference was between a Republican and a fascist, the media would go ballistic.

[Ruto]

It seems to me that a lot of Republicans don't know what they're talking about when they use insult Obama by calling him socialist, communist, and fascist at the same time.

What you said didn't even happen yet, so automatically painting the person as a victim is just a paranoid thought.

Double post because I found this:

Ben Carson and his "Holocaust could have been prevented with guns" remark. Here's a bit of actual historical info from the BBC.

"The Anti-Defamation League, an anti-Semitism monitoring group, has previously said that drawing comparisons between the gun control debate in the US and the Holocaust was "historically inaccurate and offensive", especially to Holocaust survivors and their families.
In 1943, armed Jews in the Warsaw ghetto fought the Nazis. Jews killed about 20 Nazis, but about 13,000 Jews died in the uprising."

I bolded the "armed" for everyone.

If you had just said. "my mistake" and corrected your initial post without that DNC chairwoman comment, the recent posts would ALL be without incident. That, and not going defensive by listing stuff, which sounded pretty hostile imo.
