Before Bernie decided to run, I never knew that. I never knew what to call myself, because I am an FDR Democratic, but, without things like, you know, nuclear weapons and internment. I didn't want to call myself an FDR Democrat, though because I wasn't sure what FDR was, if you know what I mean. So, I just said "Traditional Democrat," but no one knew what the hell I meant.

Given how much blood and treasure Europe and the US have spent fighting and discrediting socialism, I sure do wish the group had chosen another name, but "it is what it is." So, I am Spartacus. Er, I mean, I am a Democratic Socialist.
