    Honestly, the term liberal, socialist, neo-liberal, etc. are such loaded terms and change constantly. They also are defined on who is hating on me at that moment. I don’t have a term I call myself, but I like Bernie’s ideas 99% of the time.

      Those terms have clear, defined meanings and they only change because Americans have no idea what they’re talking about

      Bernie is a social democrat, or maybe a democratic socialist, depending on the day
