Anyone with a maroon avatar that supports the Democratic Party should use a red avatar.

I'm a socialist, but I vote for the Democratic Party because I think they're slightly better than the Republicans, and those are sadly the only two relevant parties in most of the country.

If I changed my avatar though, I would change it to light green or orange.

If you vote Democratic, you aren't a socialist.

I would say a country with food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, and unemployment insurance is already a socialist country to a large degree. So this obsession with likening socialism to extremism always baffles me. Democrats are socialists, and I don't say that in the hyperbolic contemptuous way that many others do.

Maybe I've gone off on a tangent, but yeah—not sure why socialism is such a dirty word.

None of that is socialism unless you believe that 'anything the government does = socialism', in which case you really have no idea what socialism is.
