... isn't he a Socialist?
Bernie Sanders is a democratic socialist. He believes that our current economic system isn't doing enough for poor and middle-class Americans and that democratic change is needed to create a more fair and just America.
But this isn't radical or scary! Many of the programs instituted by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson that we take for granted today â such as Medicare, the 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, and Social Security â can be considered socialist programs.

Yes...and in their current state they are spiraling toward collapse...I guess they can't be bothered to notice something like that when writing something like this.
Substitute "Germany" for America, and that's what Hitler thought!
“We don’t need to pay for free stuff, dude! That’s why it’s FREE STUFF!!”
The goal of Socialism is Communism.
We were told that Socialist/Communism did not pose a threat to the American way of life. And yet they want to fundamentally change this country.
Stalinists lie. ALWAYS
the thing that bothers me is this, all these young clowns including the most recent with $200K master degree who graduates and doesn’t understand how it got so big.
I feel for those that paid their own way, only to see freeloaders get it all for free
I think every college should be a co-signer on every student loan. OUCH
I want whoever is running on the republican side to ask Bernie if he is a national socialist, or international socialist. I want to see heads explode!
Wasn’t Chavez a “democratic socialist”?
He’s a commie.
Stalinism and Islamism are similar.
Both allow lying to advance their cause.
Both see their world domination as inevitable.
Both are enemies of Christ.
Both never exist in true from. “That’s not real communism. They’ll get it right next time.” “That’s not real Islam. They aren’t even Muslims!”
Democratic socialist? What other type of socialist is there? Socialist DemocRAT is more like it.
But that begs the question, “What other type of DemocRAT is there”?
Creeping socialism done by creeps. They think “democratic socialists” sounds better because it has “democrat” in its name.
You can’t fun size Socialism.
Great quote! (For those of us who remember "fun size" Hallowe'en candy bars.)
He’s a Marxist and fellow traveler who spent his honeymoon in Moscow in the Soviet Union.
Forget the 200k master’s degree.
I’ve got a friend whose daughter is attending Gonzaga as an undergraduate and they’re paying 48k a year.
The Sanders supporters want to be sent enough free stuff so that they don’t have to work. That’s it. There’s no “moral case” to be made. They’re selfish and lazy.
Bernie did not run for his first office as a “democratic socialist.” He ran as a good ole Soviet style socialist. No two ways about.
Was he lying then, or is he lying now? My guess is that his views have not changed over the years.
I worked 2 part time jobs to pay my own way through a mid-level state college to earn a BA, living in slum housing and spending 6 years getting it done. I was in better economic shape when I paid for my MBA, but that’s another story. Am I to understand that if college debts are to be forgiven, I’ll receive an inflation-adjusted check for my expenses?
I’ll watch the mail.
