    Blaming it on the feet of Bernie Sanders is pretty cringe. He is imperfect and a lib, but he raised class consciousness in America more than any other person this century.

      I more meant that with the rise of Bernie sanders campaign there was a sharp rise of the misuse and deliberate manipulation of the meaning of socialism

        Yeah but there was also a sharp rise in interest in socialism. However flawed it was, Bernie's moment in the spotlight did more to promote the cause of Socialism in America than anything since at least the 1970s. People associate Socialism with Cool Grandpa now and we've got an opportunity to teach them what socialism actually means, and what it can do for them. Bernie and the hundreds of thousands of people who volunteered and worked for that movement made that possible.

        Yeah but I would honestly rather have liberals larping as socialists than how it was in the 90s and 2000s where anything communist was either not taken seriously or actively called the devil. Socialism used to be such a dirty word most people could never consider it.

      Joe Biden announcing "I defeated the socialist!" but it's the Spongebob meme where Sandy beats up the Alaskan Bull Worm's tongue, and the rest of the worm is us.
