    El-Sayed specifically said that he is not a socialist, so I don’t see why he’d fail to see full support for the general election. People confuse opposition to a specific label (a label with a great deal of negative baggage) with opposition to a specific set of policies.

      The Democrat establishment don’t confuse that. They are against socialist policies full stop, and they only use the socialist label to fearmonger in support of that .

      No offense but that’s exactly what you did. The party establishment uses the socialism rhetoric to its advantage, but ultimately what they don’t want is for the rich to pay for their fair share.
