text: Shades of old "tail gunner" Joe McCarthy! He was into jingoism and stereotyping too and was just as wrong as you are today! There is no monolithic, single agenda force in the Democratic Party and there never has been. Small minds are given to stereotypes and conspiracy theories, wiser minds recognize that we are all individuals possessed of independent thoughts and many different motivations. Calling people socialists is a way to demonize anyone with whom you disagree or who appears or dares to act differently from yourself. Millions of people aren't wrong simply because you are possessed of a narrow world view and think, therefore, you are right.
