(5,104 posts)I realize you have a bunch of material that you cut and paste over and over again that is used to suggest that major political figures dont understand their own political ideologies, but those are not at all persuasive.
And, frankly, it is a bit insulting to those politicians who openly embrace democratic socialism to claim that they are either highly ignorant of their politics or dishonest.
The difference between liberal social democracy and democratic socialism is such a huge chasm that no person of good faith and political acumen could confuse themas you have rightfully argued yourself.
There is nothing remotely hackneyed about saying believe people when that tell you who they are, and thats especially true when in comes to a personage who has called for the nationalization of major industries.
Your ongoing attempt to claim that those who embrace democratic socialism dont know their own minds is unpersuasive and more than a little bit insulting.
