A social democrat.

A socialist is someone who advocates for the means of production to be controlled by the government or community as a whole.

Because the American political spectrum is skewed to the right they seem to believe that universal healthcare, free university, high taxes, redistribution of property and a strong welfare system are socialist. However, they are not socialist in themselves, only general left-wing notions. Some of these may even be supported by the right, for instance the majority of European conservatives are proponents of universal healthcare, but evidently they are not socialists.

American 'socialists' often cite the Nordic countries as successful 'socialist' countries. Despite this, the means of production in these countries is privately owned, so they are actually social democracies.

American: Bernie Saunders is a socialist.
European: He's not a socialist, he's an American 'socialist'.
American: What's the difference?
European: The latter is a social democrat.

Outdoor American

Homeless; Hobo

If you call a park bench home; if your idea of a buffet is chinese trash; One who shits in a bucket on the reg; one who dwells under and overpass (not to be confused with a troll); if you reside in a pop up community; if you bathe in the local creek; if your job description is holding a piece of cardboard (not to be confused with human directional advertisement) you might be an outdoor American.

Australian-American War

The biggest war since the big one. With two tours involving boomerang shrapnel and kangaroos wired with explosives. Lots of people have not heard about it.

Caller: These kids don't respect veterans, we fought for your freedom! When I came back from the Australian-American War, I didn't get a heroes welcome... I didn't get a pack on the back from my friends and neighbors saying 'thanks for fighting for our freedom James!' After years of fighting in the trenches, I come back here and everyone's watching TV!

Lazlow: Now, can you tell me what this Australian-American war was... I never really heard of it!

Caller: God, not another one! Have you read a history book lately son? The Australian-American war the was the biggest war since the big one! I tell ya, I didn't do two tours and take boomerang shrapnel in my head to come back here and have a bunch of hippies deny our history! Those Aussies are ruthless! They even wired kangaroos with explosives... come hopping in the camp and knock out ten guys!
