That's irrelevant, because they're going to call ANYBODY in the Democratic party a socialist. According to Republican talking points, Joe Manchin and Joe Lieberman are just as "liberal" as Bernie Sanders. They literally called Hillary "the most liberal senator in history" when she was running in 2008, just as they said the same thing about Kamala Harris this year. It's not remotely true, of course. But they never fail to drag out those talking points every election cycle.
It accomplishes two things, neither of which are good.... first, it plays well with the brainwashed Batista fan club in Florida, which is really unnecessary, because 98.6% of that state could vote for a Democratic ticket, and they would still find a way to steal it, as the corrupt BCE infrastructure is still very much operational in that state. Second, it gives the DLC Turd Way fake "democrats" cover so they can keep pandering further to the right wing all the time. Obvious examples being Biden's list of "guest speakers" at the DNC convention, as well as the majority of the announced cabinet appointments.
If you're going to be called a "socialist" anyway, might as well act like one and work for the policies that might actually reverse the toilet spiral this country has been in since 1980. (And by "socialist", I'm talking about what FDR did, and what LBJ did, aside from killing 58,000 Americans and a million or so Vietnamese for no good reason. Hell, even Eisenhower would be a "socialist" by these standards. He was pro-unions, built infrastructure and taxed the inheritance rich leeches at 91%)
