'My elementary school in Brooklyn won the borough championship -- hardly worth mentioning, but we did.' [...] The basketball thing actually gets brought up with some regularity. It's mentioned on his Wikipedia page, there elevated to a 'state championship.'

Would it not be more accurate to reword this to say Sanders is a self described democratic socialist? Bernie is not ideologically a democratic socialist, ideologically he is a social democrat.
I am relatively new to Wikipedia and have never made an edit request, please excuse me if this was done incorrectly or written too informally. I request this with no ill-intentions. Agreatbigcake (talk) 22:17, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah that does make more sense. I am also fairly inexperienced with Wikipedia and have no clue what an edit request is. You can probably just go ahead and make the edit and if anybody disagrees, they will revert and make a discussion thing Major Wd (talk) 07:32, 16 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I see now, I was making that comment from mobile and didn't see that. You mind if I make the edit? I think it would be more accurate since the source cited says "self-described democratic socialist" Major Wd (talk) 13:46, 16 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
I would assume he is not too be confused with *Barry* Sanders.
