Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg thinks that labeling progressives "socialists" has lost its charm.
"Talk about going into the past, the president's adopting a tactic that takes us back to the darkest days of the 50s, when you could use the word socialist to kill somebody's career, or to kill an idea," Buttigieg told Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos - who asked the South Bend, IN Mayor about a High School essay that praised Bernie Sanders as a self-identifying "socialist."
Buttigieg corrected Stephanopoulos, noting that his essay was about Sanders being honest about his beliefs.

The roots of ACA were developed in conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation before first being rolled out by the then-Republican governor of Massachusettes [sic] Mitt Romney. -Mediaite"The affordable care act was a conservative idea that Democrats borrowed and called that socialist so it’s like the boy who cried wolf," said Buttigieg, adding: "It’s lost all power especially for my generation of voters."
