I was saying almost exactly the same thing to my wife last night. When someone asks him what he means by socialism, it's not enough to go into your list of policies. You have to be explicit: I don't mean socialism in the sense that the government owns the means of production... etc.
Because he never says anything like that, the GOP and their lemmings can go on being willfully ignorant of what he means (not to mention socialism itself).
But it doesn't seem to matter anyway. The Democratic party just rallied around Biden, and now this crap is happening. I am not in the least bit confident Biden can beat Trump. The GOP is already insane over Burisma.
I only had reservations about both Buttigieg and Klobachar, but they both completely screwed their reputations with me these last few days.
