Bernie is a self-described socialist. Bernie Sanders Calls His Brand of Socialism a Pathway to Beating Trump - The New York Times
I can understand your confusion. The networks, including Democrat friendly CNN, are avoiding using the word, "socialist," to define Bernie, and his campaign managers avoid the term as well. No doubt the majority of his supporters do not know that Sanders is a socialist.
This is not at all strange. Trump's supporters remain loyal because they largely avoid what Trump does and says. When faced with the reality of Trump, they call it "fake news" and the purveyor of the "fake news" definitely has TDS.
Sanders is not a member of the Democratic Party. He is an independent. Bernie Sanders - Wikipedia
Sanders consistently attacks the Democratic leadership that is dedicated to defeating Trump. "I've got news for the Democratic establishment. They can't stop us," he said. Sanders 2020 campaign just declared war on the Democratic establishment - CNNPolitics
One can delude oneself into thinking that a socialist will defeat Trump, but there are questions to that approach. Why are so many unaware that Sanders is a socialist? During the election campaign, why are the networks, Sanders' managers, and Sanders himself not telling the voters he is a socialist? Because all three do not want his supporters to know that.
However, if he becomes the Democratic candidate, the Trump campaign will ensure that every voter in America will learn that Sanders is a socialist. Polls, even polls of Democrats, have clearly shown America will not elect a socialist.
If Sanders is nominated, the Democratic Party can kiss moderate and conservative Democrats goodbye. If Sanders is nominated, the party can kiss moderate Republicans weary of Trump goodbye along with the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2016 and conservative independents.
Polls show that every other Democratic candidate other then the socialist, Warren, will beat Trump by a huge margin.
