Alan Grayson did carry his district in the Senate primary, so don't give it too much credit.

Oh right, I forgot. He did do pretty well in his district (but not anywhere else except for a few northern counties LOL). At least the 115th Congress will be Grayson-free.

How is Dena Grayson a "socialist"?

The wife of a socialist is a socialist by association.

How exactly is Grayson a socialist? When has he called for nationalization of any industries for example?

Anyone who is in any way associated with Bernie Sanders is a socialist. If you at any point supported him, you're a socialist. Anyone he supported at any time is also a socialist. Anyone related to him is a socialist, and anyone related to anyone who he supported or anyone who supported him is also a socialist. Red scare FTW!

Judging from his commentary on any "Socialist"'s primary, I'd say Wulfric is literally terrified of socialism. Like, a legit phobia that causes irrational behavior and thought.

Wulfric, a staunch anti-socialist has a question to ask you -- do you consider Collin Peterson (noted Bernie endorser, but generally considered to be one of the most right-wing remaining Democrats in the House) to be a socialist?

Judging from his commentary on any "Socialist"'s primary, I'd say Wulfric is literally terrified of socialism. Like, a legit phobia that causes irrational behavior and thought.

I just know that it's a terrible ideology for this country. I'm scared that this country isn't realizing that as much as it should because a self-declared socialist got 43% of the national primary vote for the largest party in the united states, and in doing so came within striking distance of winning more states than Hillary (not counting the territories), and wasn't locked out of a majority of pledged delegates until June.

Also, the rule of "socialism by association" is thus:

Anyone who is improperly associated with Bernie Sanders is a socialist. If you at any point supported him for president, you're a socialist. Anyone he supported at any time before they won their party's nomination, and those related to such people, is also a socialist. Anyone related to him or anyone who supported him for president is also a socialist. People that were not endorsed by Sanders until they reached their respective general election are not socialists. Therefore, Hillary Clinton is not a socialist.

Wulfric, a staunch anti-socialist has a question to ask you -- do you consider Collin Peterson (noted Bernie endorser, but generally considered to be one of the most right-wing remaining Democrats in the House) to be a socialist?

Yes. He endorsed Sanders for president. Only a socialist would endorse a socialist presidential candidate.

Bernie Sanders is for all intents and purposes, a liberal, not a socialist.

OK. I'll keep in mind reading your posts in the future that you have a unique definition of socialist that doesn't necessarily overlap with the rest of ours'.

Wulfric, I voted for Sanders in the primary. Does that make me, Mr. "all liberal all the time" a socialist?

Wulfric you are being ridiculous.

Collin Peterson voted against the Iran Deal, is a social conservative and is economically populist at most.

There is no reason that a non-socialist would support a socialist for their party's nomination.

What about "I don't like Hillary Clinton"? Is that not a legit reason?

LMAO. 10/10 trolling.

If Bernie married a right wing Republican woman because they got along so well (politics aside) and truly loved each other, would she be a socialist too?

Also, anyone related to him is a socialist? Are you implying socialism is genetic? If so, why is only socialism genetic and not any other political ideology? People disagree with their parents on politics all the time.

"I don't like Hillary Clinton so I'm going to vote for someone who would destroy the core factors of this country's identity" sounds quite dumb.

I should also note that it's not as if that specification I put out is foolproof. It's possible that someone related to Bernie Sanders could reject everything they heard from him. But the chance of them doing so is pretty low; thus there is a high probability that they are a socialist.

"I don't like Hillary Clinton so I'm going to vote for someone who would destroy the core factors of this country's identity" sounds quite dumb.

It's possible to not be a socialist, and also not find socialism to be the death of America's identity like you do.

Also, socialism is a vague term so I'm not going to flat-out say "Sanders is not a socialist" but he's definitely a European social democrat/barely to Clinton's left kind of socialist rather than a hang the bourgeoisie kind of socialist.
