That seems like a gross mischaracterization of the primary and the Sanders surge.

This. Sanders didn't win 44% of the pledged delegates because he called himself a socialist. It's because he knew how to coherently challenge the status quo that has prevailed in this country since 1980.

Honestly Clinton's political IQ might be the worst of any Dem nominee since 1972.

Yeah when I made this thread I was more amazed that Hillary believes 40% of Democrats are socialists than anything. And honestly I really hope a lot higher-ups believe that.

Most American self-identified socialists are actually capitalists who want some modifications. I mean, free college doesn't make a country socialist.

This is a true; and you can blame Republicans for that for drilling "Anyone who supports these very basic industry regulations, or feels any sort of anger at the 1% for the global financial crisis, is a socialist" into a generation's head.
