I am not offended by your assertion, but since one my undergraduate degrees is in Political Science, I think I have a solid grasp on what counts as socialism.
As far as where my vote is concerned, I honestly don't want to cast a vote. I am so fed up with our current political system that I wish there was a reset button for the whole mess and we could go back to the very first congress of this nation. Alas that is merely romanticism. There is no going back.

Side note, I do wish that Bernie never came out and said 'I'm a democratic socialist.' His intentions were to beat the right to the punch, to come out and say, hey look, I'm sick of all this name calling and fighting, I'm going to beat you to the punch and come out admitting that I want to help the poor, and I want to de-value the the word socialist as a campaign attack,
so we can talk about the issues.
he was hoping to take the 'high road' so to speak, and that we would respect him for his honesty and bold move... unfortunately it hasn't quite worked out that way, and a large number of people (like yourself IMO) that would love his policies, and what the man wants to change in Washington, are missing the message

Anyway, I hope that maybe you may re-consider, and vote for the man, not against a title! Give him more time in the spotlight!
But that's your right!

(ps the only reason we'll get Hillary in the white house is because the Dem party is afraid that there are too many people that wont vote for him because of that title. I honestly dont think the republican party has the power to beat either democratic candidate this election.. so! if you would prefer Hillary to Bernie, then dont vote for him because of the title, but if you really dont want Hillary in the office, at least say to your friends that you dont care that hes a socialist, its that you dont jews or something else about him haha)
