My browser also blocks xitter and I am not sorry. I figure that if someone doesn't post more than the links to xitter, probably not worth my time.

Radical-left socialism

Or maybe just something like

We're going to be his 7th bankruptcy

It just makes me crazy that anything suggested that actually sounds like good governance of, by, and for the people gets shouted down as "Socialism."
