I dunno. I think if you support fascist policies, you are a fascist. If you support socialist policies, you are a socialist.

By and large, people who voted for Sanders voted in the general, though. Stein only got 1% of the vote (admittedly with lesser ballot access) , and while you might be able to make an argument that she supports socialist policies, Johnson, Clinton, and Trump are firmly capitalist.

Most of Sander's supporters have voted for someone who is socialist, and someone who is capitalist within the past year. That's a wild swing of policy support for them to make so quickly.
