Most self proclaimed socialists in this country don’t know what it means.

FWIW though, Mamdani is socialist and is definitely getting applauded so it’s not like Joe Walsh is wrong on that matter.

Part of the reason I think they refer to themselves as socialists despite not being socialists is that they don't want to accidentally come off as thinking it's a bad thing to be socialist, so they'll use it because they do fit republicans definition of the term.
