Yep, and it flopped. lol
Oh this should be interesting. Or terrible!
Well said.
And I would have voted for him!
Yep, I agree. Even tho I skew socialist (I'm a Conservative Socialist), you are right about Americans being loathe to adopt it or even accept the name. Most people, even here on Lemmy, see the term "socialist" as a pejorative.
Though since the election I am seeing more and more people being pissed about how the democratic party screwed them over and they are more open to third parties. So maybe the socialist parties here in the US may see an uptick.
Which is hilarious to me, because I got banned from .world (and other instances) because I proudly said I voted Socialist instead of Democrat or Republican. lol
Yeah, but I'm still here. Thanks! :)
I like Bernie, but to your point, I wasn't happy about how he accepted the Dems steamrolling him over.
Yep! I love Sanders
LOVE this quote:
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said.
Preach it, brother! I, myself, was harrassed and the same stuff was was about me, and I didn't even vote for Trump. This crap was yelled at me just because I voted third party.
Today, I feel vindicated. :)
Looks like the majority of the people who voted disagree with you.
Hopefully this will start to change now that someone new will be in office.
