This is propaganda designed to make socialism/socialists look bad.
Why would they include political affiliation in the headline?
Why would they do so on a very salacious/rage bait style accusation?
Why would Democrats want to label anyone who uses the word socialist as morally bad? …..Maybe because the most popular politicians use it, and their MAGA-lite candidate Gavin is hated and despised for his blatant cruelty and corruption.
