CBS practically begs Comrade Sanders to stop calling himself Democratic socialist

Sensely that Comrade Bernie Sanders is likely going to be the Democrat nominee for president, if the DNC doesn’t screw him out of it again, the corrupt Democrat media is begging Comrade Sanders to drop the socialist labeling from what he calls himself. After a first class airplane trip somewhere, Comrade Sanders appeared on CBS and they begged him to stop calling himself a Democratic socialist because it’s confusing or something. The hack on CBS also thinks there’s a difference between socialism and Democratic socialism. Sorry, there isn’t.

CBS This Morning co-host Tony Dokoupil on Friday played strategist for Bernie Sanders. Dokoupil suggested that the socialist Sanders just stop calling himself a socialist. He didn’t advise the 2020 candidate to stop being a socialist, just to maybe not call himself that.

Turning into a PR agent, Dokoupil declared, “You have got this label stuck to you, socialist. You have got someone from your own party, the Democratic Party, saying they don’t want socialism in South Carolina referring to you. I know there’s a difference between democratic socialism and socialism but why do you cling and hold on to that label, Democratic socialist, when it seems to confuse people and give your enemies and critics an opportunity to bash you?”

After Sanders ranted about “the fossils fuel industry receiv[ing] tens of billions of dollars a year in subsidies and tax breaks,” Dokoupil again acted as a worried adviser: “Senator, is the label confusing people and allowing critics to hurt you politically?”

Co-host Anthony Mason offered the tired (and false) claim that the non-Sanders candidates are “moderates,” saying of New Hampshire: “The results there still show a significant split in the party between the moderates and the left.”
