The democrats are not socialist and they don’t call themselves that. Socialists may or may not cast a D vote, but if they do it’s a monumental compromise.
The Dems are terrified of accidentally seeming too left. Republicans have no problem embracing the more extreme right, whereas Dems would rather cowtow to the imaginary swing voter and lose than get called the S word.

Every far left extremist (which have no clue what communism even means) has an analogous far right extremist (who also have no clue what it actually means), both are idiots and shouldn't be let anywhere near government.
Admittedly the US had a choice between someone unfit for office and a lawfully convicted felon, I don't envy this situation.

What? Kamala would have done great, where is this coming from? Trump for better or worse is about to get Weekend at Bernie'd by his cabinet just like Biden did.

Some on the left are proudly socialist or communist, and some on the right are proudly bigoted.
The other side calls themselves socialists, some of them are proudly communists. This isn't a slur, this is literally what many on the left call themselves. The right don't think of themselves as bigots, they just want less immigration. (You might think that's bigoted)
