Or… just start pushing actual socialist policy; since everything gets called socialism anyway, we may as well enjoy it.

Corporate donors disapprove.

Why would they? The Democrats are one wing of a state dominated by monopolist Capitalists, they serve the monopolist Capitalists.

But which socialism? The economic socialism that those on the right hate, or the true social Socialism of which so many enjoy the fruits?

When are we going to start PUBLICLY calling out those on the right who accepted COVID stimulus checks from the government? This was a blatantly socialist program, bigger than the "Obamaphones" even (before you go off on me for citing Obamaphones, keep in mind that I believe a smartphone with service is a human right.) we've got all these people walking around from the right to talk about how much they hate socialism but that 3,200 seemed to come in pretty handy for most of them.

Social programs are not socialism. The covid checks were not socialist.
