Do you think the addition of socialist avatars was a good idea?

It's really annoying - but at minimum at least they're now being open about what the Democrat Party has become.

I'm wearing it purely for how cool the color is.

Only in my wildest dreams.

Not bad avatars in and of themselves, but horribly overused and trite already.

Not particularly relevant to modern U.S. politics, especially given the multiple socialist fragments there are. Still, there was a demand and some of our international members were already choosing avatars based on their own non-U.S. parties.

I'm not a big fan tbh. The colour is terrible and I don't see what the problem was with "Other" - are these people all Socialist Party USA members?

It does seem odd to have it. I think it suits European posters who are socialist and support parties with a socialist tradition, but a lot of US posters are wearing it who are about as socialist as I am...

I think it will be fine in a week or two when only the actual socialists still have one, but as a Hibs fan I still have to say I hate the colour Tongue

I like it, but too many liberals are using it.

This:

So are you Socialists in America all members of the Socialist Party USA, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the Socialist Alternative Party, the Socialist Equality Party, the Socialist Workers Party, the Socialist Action Party, the Socialist Labor Party of America, the World Socialist Party of the United States, or the Democratic Socialists of America?

is my problem with them.

I'm looking forward to the introduction of Prohibition Party and Whig Party avatars as well, so that all the decrepit fringe parties of old that no one actually supports in the present day can be represented and we can all avatar-cosplay to our heart's content!

When are we going to get Neoliberal avatars? They can be the color of money.

I'm a big fan of non-ironic avatars.  If people actually consider themselves socialist, fine; they look kind of cool.  However, if you're a run-of-the-mill Democrat who would get all defensive and mock your opposition if they called you a socialist yet have chosen that as your avatar ... Well, yeah, that's kind of lame.
