True. Sorry, your ideology lost so hard that half of it was Trump's 1st term policy. Concede to the left for once in your god damn lives or suffer liberals.

When a casual acquaintance asks my political leaning, I say Democrat to keep things simple. But, really, I'm a Bernie guy. I don't want to talk politics, and trying to explain that Democrats are actually center-right is just too much effort to put into... well, just about everyone nowadays.
Okay, but Sanders isn’t on the left, either, despite calling himself a socialist. Sanders will say that It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, and he’ll complain about “crony” capitalism and “über” capitalism, but as a liberal he’ll never question capitalism as such. He’ll never question private ownership of the means of production.
Socialism != Communism though
It's okay to say you're a socialist but too not like communism.
I for one really like socialist policies like national healthcare which I get in the UK etc. But I don't think full communism is the way to go for a modern society. Plus the track record of every time a country tries to head towards full communism, the door is left wide open for a dictator, and someone takes it.
Uk is monarchist, not socialist
Thia is kinda the point of the post tho is these guys think theres no room in the middle you must be full blown marx or bust. Which in this day and age is jist stupid
