I am a dues paying member of SPUSA, Dunno how fake that makes me.

If I remember correctly, you had an H in your signature not too long ago.

As far as the avatars, I think many of the liberals that changed their avis to socialist were just doing it because it is new. I still expect many of them to revert back to bright red over time.

As for me, I'm sticking with the Dem avatar because 1) I don't identify as a socialist and 2) I'm ready for Dem victories in 2016.

There are maybe five American posters on this forum that I'd describe as socialists, and that includes democratic socialists like Madeline and revolutionary socialists like myself. A lot of people wearing the avatar are boiler-plate liberal Democrats, yes. But that's what happens in a country where 'socialism' is alternatively defined as 'anything the government does' (literally a libertarian definition of what socialism is) and/or 'SWEDEN' (which is not socialist and never has been socialist, because social democracy is not socialism)

Even though you just included Social Democrats in your counting of the legitimate socialist avatars
