He’s also a SOCIALIST!!1! As if Republicans haven’t been calling anyone not far right enough for them a “socialist” for decades and now they’re shocked that someone actually who kinda, sorta is maybe like that won.

To be honest, some of the more recent progression has been most visible in NYC. AOC coming forward was the start.
