Bernie Sanders goes scorched earth on Democrats in blistering statement after Trump's victory
(www.dailymail.co.uk)
We like leftists and liberals.
We want to ban all guns.
We want free healthcare.
We want UBI.
We don't mind being taxed.
We want to give everyone a free abortion!
Yep, I agree. Even tho I skew socialist (I'm a Conservative Socialist), you are right about Americans being loathe to adopt it or even accept the name. Most people, even here on Lemmy, see the term "socialist" as a pejorative.
Though since the election I am seeing more and more people being pissed about how the democratic party screwed them over and they are more open to third parties. So maybe the socialist parties here in the US may see an uptick.
Which is hilarious to me, because I got banned from .world (and other instances) because I proudly said I voted Socialist instead of Democrat or Republican. lol
