The head of the Cherokee Nation doesn't look all that different from Elizabeth Warren, just sayin'.
Much of the Cherokee Nation is very diluted. I think only 1/4 is the minimum to qualify for membership.

Oh, for sure. But it just shows how stupid the "Warren doesn't look native enough" line is.

If you guys got through Dudabides and KCDEM, then you guys can handle me calling Bernie a socialist for a roll call duration.

I mean, Bernie Sanders has called himself a socialist himself. There is no (further) harm there.
So would it be fair to say then that he personally is a socialist, (of course his voters aren't), since why doesn't he call himself a social democrat??

It would not.  He was thoroughly vetted by both the Socialist Party USA and the Socialist Workers Party and they decided he was not a Socialist.  In fact, he is a Democrat.  He ran as a Democrat candidate in the Democrat Primaries this year.  You only add to confusion when you label him a socialist.  Many of his voters may be socialist, but Sanders, despite his self-identification as a socialist, is not recognized as a socialist by either of the main two socialist organizations, and to continue doing so generates confusion.  That said, Wulfric is just having fun.  Let him have fun.  I'm not knocking what he is doing, but your question needs to be answered:  Sanders, at the moment, is a Democrat.  If you don't understand that, you must have been asleep in a cave like Rumplestiltskin.  The whole Feel the Bern thing and the Sandernistas and the BernieBots and the Bernie Bros and the like, attacking Clintonistas, would not have occurred if Sanders ran as a Socialist instead of a Democrat.

He is definitely not a Socialist. But he is a socialist.

Looks like South Dakota will put Hillary over the top. It's meant to be. Happy South Dakota Farmers have never been happier.
