Bernie Sanders ran as a socialist, and netted over 12,000,000 votes, according to realclearpolitics. This number is skewed downwards somewhat by the fact that he did better in caucus states. And according to the NYT page I had open in the background, around 120,000,000 voted in the general. Probably slightly more, because I just added the D and R votes together, but, still. Is roughly 10% of the electorate socialist? I don't think so, because I know a fair amount of Sanders supporters who are not. I only know a couple who would identify as such. I'm one of them. This is the same reason I don't think that all Trump supporters are fascists. Because I know a fair amount of them. A lot of them are people I have respected for years. Life is more complex than that.
