Your comment proves my point.
Not at all, really.
But go ahead and paint your broad brush.

It sounds like the case of the baker and the gay marriage.
Democratic Socialist vs Socialist.

Unless it is a Christian baker....right? Another example of the left's hypocrisy.

The economic policy is still the same. Only the method of implementation would be different. Sanders is a social democrat, regardless of what he calls himself.
So a social democrat is different from a democratic socialist how?

Social democrats support certain social and economic policies within a capitalist structure that help prevent possible injustices that can arise within a purely capitalist economy.
Uh, no, we don't assume it, or at least thinking people don't assume it.
But you know that, you just want to apply a different standard to Bernie and his followers than you would to any other politician running for office or their supporters. Just as an example, anyone who thinks Cruz, Trump and Jeb (who all label themselves "republicans") have the same position on every issue is not very bright, or not paying attention, or both.
I just pointed out they don't have all the same views. Which is why they use other labels like Conservative. Bush didn't, because he is an establishment Republican. Just like Hillary doesn't use other labels.
Exactly, they don't have all the same views, and yet they are all "republicans." BTW, when you locate that list of positions all "republicans" agree to, why not show me the one that all "conservatives" agree to as well. Should be fun.
Are you serious? Ok, when you see the label Libertarian what comes to mind? When you decide to say you follow an ideology certain things people will think you believe. Why? BECAUSE IDEOLOGIES MEAN SOMETHING!
Sounds like semantics to me. Bernie supports the democratic control of the economy in many ways.
A socialist, democratic or otherwise, would want to completely eliminate capitalism in favor of socialism. That's a big difference from wanting to incorporate some socialist policies within a capitalist system.

I agree, ideologies mean something. But if I want to know Gary Johnson's position on something, should I look to what he says he supports and has a long record in public service supporting, or check out Lewrockwell.com? If they differ then are you saying I should go with Lewrockwell.com or what Johnson tells us is his position and his record?
Yeah, your personal attack proves my point perfectly.
Me telling you about the broad brush you are painting is a personal attack?
Wow!
You know what you posted. Stop trying to deny it.
Nothing about supporting social programs is out of line with democratic socialist views on what to do in the short term. There is also nothing out of line with democratic socialist views on what to do in the short term with his views on what industries he wants naturalized or what business regulations he supports.
Not quite, since in the state of the baker and gay marriage case, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Discrimination on the basis of political affiliation is not illegal in any state that I am aware of.
Not really. Christian bakers can refuse service too, but they have to take their lumps just like this employee did.
