Endorsed by the American far-right? How & when? 

David Duke former Grand Wizard of the KKK endorsed his campaign, as well as the militia groups at Charlottesville.

You're right. I was too quick. Social democracy and democratic socialism are indeed two different ideologies where democratic socialism is more left wing and often pretty anti-capitalist.

Several of the supporters in other countries (like Bernie Sanders) mention us as democratic socialists, even though the parties that are identified as democratic socialists (in Finland's case Vasemmistoliitto) are mainly very secondary parties who are rarely in government.

Yep. But then again people like Bernie Sanders are the reason why the "Every american is a retard" stereotype exists lol

I absolutely want to be a Grand Dragon or at least part of the Great Council of Centaurs, but I'm not very fond of the 'joining the KKK' part :p

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
