I'm bookmarking this thread so I can remember it.

The better question is, what should a Democratic office-holder or candidate say?

No, it should be said... How many decades have Republicans used the words Communist and Socialists when describing a member of the Democratic Party to keep pushing the country into it being a 'normalization' used constantly in media today?
