Wulfric Rules of Socialist Identification

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I seem to remember Wulfric hoping that Sanders could beat Hillary, at one point. Does that mean that he's a socialist, too?

Uh, I never endorsed Sanders for President. What I have said is:

1) Sanders giving Hillary a semi-tough race was necessary preparation for her to do well in the GE, and

2) I originally hoped that Sanders would beat Hillary so that Rubio or Kasich could win in a YUGE landslide. This was before Trump locked things up.

I never said that I endorsed Sanders to actually become president, and that is what matters.

2) I originally hoped that Sanders would beat Hillary so that Rubio or Kasich could win in a YUGE landslide. This was before Trump locked things up.

No it isn't; what matters is whether you are in any way related to anyone who is in any way related to someone who supported Sanders.

No, what matters if I myself am related to a Sanders supporter. And to my knowledge, I am not. Although I reasonably could be, and in that case I would be a socialist by association. I don't like that, but it's the way things are.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I have created a method to absolve oneself of the socialist by association status.

1. One may get elected to congress, governor, president, or state legislature and consistently advocate and vote for capitalist policies during a full term, or

2. One may apologize for endorsing Sanders and admit that they endangered the country by doing so.

1. may be applied retroactively if I approve. Either is voided if they endorse a self-declared socialist in the future, but they will be forever protected from being declared a socialist by association otherwise. Endorsing someone who is only a socialist by association and not by admission is always permissible and does not make one a socialist by association.

Collin Petersen and Dan Lipinski are absolved via 1. at this time.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Does Sanders get absolved for advocating capitalist policies including being to the right of you on health care.

If he starts calling himself a capitalist, maybe.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

How to absolve oneself of this status:

1. One may get elected to congress, governor, president, or state legislature and consistently advocate and vote for capitalist policies during a full term, or 

2. One may apologize for endorsing Sanders and admit that they endangered the country, or

3. One may present convincing evidence that they have resisted their relation, or

4. one may disavow Sanders's endorsement of their candidacy

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Updated rules after realizing this is a bit too broad:

Wulfric>   "Socialist by Association" comprises 1) voting for Bernie for President, 2) being married to or being in the immediate family of Bernie Sanders,  3) being endorsed by him in a primary election

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

if you have sex with a socialist, do you also become a socialist? Even if you use a condom?

One's sexual activity has no affect on their status as a socialist or capitalist.

If a capitalist cannibal were to fully consume a socialist half his size, would he be 1/3 socialist?

No.

-----------------

This is the current version of the rules:

A socialist by association consists of ONLY the following:
1. Someone who voted for or endorsed Sanders for President,
2. Someone who is in Sanders's immediate family, and
3. Someone who was endorsed by Sanders during a primary election.

One may be absolved of this status by doing any of the following:

1. One may get elected to congress, governor, president, or state legislature and consistently advocate and vote for capitalist policies during a full term, or,

2. If applicable, may apologize for endorsing Sanders and admit that they endangered the country, or,

3. If Applicable, one may present convincing evidence that they have resisted their relation, or,

4. If Applicable, one may disavow Sanders's endorsement of their candidacy.

1. may be applied retroactively with my approval.

----------

A socialist by admission consists of ONLY the following:

1. Sponsors or Cosponsors of HR 676,
2. Sponsors or Cosponsors of Senate Bill 1804, and
3. Others who have clearly demonstrated, through the laws that they support, that they are not capitalists.

To absolve oneself of this status, one must withdraw their sponsorship of HR 676 or Senate Bill 1804 if applicable, and one must get elected to congress, governor, president, or state legislature and consistently advocate and vote for capitalist policies during a full term. In this case, there will be no retroactive application - they must serve a new term in office and behave appropriately during that term.

What if someone marries into the Sanders family?

if you are in the immediate family of a congressperson who supports HR 676 are you a socialist by admission by association?

No. The immediate family part applies only to the immediate family of Sanders himself.

Alright, so then you just don't have a damn clue what you're talking about. Therefore, the first statement of yours was incorrect.

My guess is you endorsed Sanders for President, and don't like the fact that you're a Socialist by Association because of that. But calling this a joke doesn't absolve you.
