If someone wants to run for president, I would advise him not to call himself a Democratic socialist, a Democratic communist, a Democratic atheist or a Democratic Scientologist.
There is just no good reason for a person to call himself any kind of socialist when he isn't a socialist. I really don't understand why he did that. I have to assume that he never envisioned himself running for president.
Similarly, I would never suggest to a Republican that he/she call himself a Republican Nazi or a Republican racist. It's the latter part that stings.
