for the rest of the campaign. Why didn't he just run as a Democrat instead of demoratic SOCIALIST, then we wouldn't have this issue.

And AOC as well should be careful aligning herself with a self-avowed socialist if she wants to run for the Senate. How many times do we have to learn that being a socialist doesn't place well in American politics...or anywhere else as witnessed by both Russia and China, the two biggest socialist/communist societies are now capitalistic scocieties....oligarchs and all.

America is somehow wired so that rethugs can lurch as far right as the can get an still have some success in elections, but just move a millimeter to the left and it sets off deafening howls.

Just call yourself a Democrat and fight for policies that benefit the 99% instead of the rich who don't need much help.
