A majority of registered voters already know that Bernie identifies as a democratic socialist, yet he still beats Trump in almost every poll.

Bernie has explained that democratic socialism simply means continuing the work of FDR’s New Deal, which gave us Social Security and minimum wage laws. Bernie wants to ensure the economic rights of all citizens, like “the right to quality health care, the right to as much education as one needs to succeed in our society, the right to a good job that pays a living wage, the right to affordable housing, the right to a secure retirement, and the right to live in a clean environment.”

Republicans are the “political party that cried wolf” - they’ve attacked every Democratic policy and candidate as socialist for so long that the effectiveness of the attack should be viewed skeptically.
