30. Everybody wants to think Democratic Socialism is a kind of boogeyman.

England has had DS in their country since 1900. Over there, it's called Fabian Socialism--from the Fabian Society.

The Fabian Society gained popularity over the years and evolved into today's Labour Party, the closest entity to our Democratic Party.

Some of the most famous global Democratic Socialists are Golda Meir, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Dubya's good friend and colleague, PM Tony Blair. None of these people are particularly evil and are, in fact, admired by plenty of Americans.

The overall goal of both Democrats and Socialists is to make life better for everyone. Our party needs to appeal to both left and center to beat this horrible tyrant.

This rant is directed at all DUers who are sniping and dividing us when we should band together. I'm not attacking you, Celerity.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
