And Bernie is not a "declared soci@list". He's a declared democratic soci@list. There's a f#$king difference, Reuters!

Bernie is the longest-serving independent in Congressional history. While it's in error to characterize him as a so************************t, I'd say it's fair to say that he is not a lifelong Democrat.

Hence my use of the word "also".

Hill is history IMHO, her window has closed.

Biden is a better bet vs the GOP.

As Sanders explained in a 2006 interview with Democracy Now!:

I think [democratic so************************m] means the government has got to play a very important role in making sure that as a right of citizenship all of our people have healthcare; that as a right, all of our kids, regardless of income, have quality childcare, are able to go to college without going deeply into debt; that it means we do not allow large corporations and moneyed interests to destroy our environment; that we create a government in which it is not dominated by big money interest. I mean, to me, it means democracy, frankly. That’s all it means.

There you have it, the definition of a Democratic Sosialist.

Stop Calling Bernie Sanders a Sosialist

Interesting take on Joe Biden jumping in from Milbank at the Post. Biden as a 'stalking horse'.

He is pondering nothing.

He has always wanted to be president and this is his last chance.

He characterizes himself as a "Democratic So(c)ialist". Has for decades.

Indeed he does, along with Independent. In either instance, he is not (formally) a Democrat.
