Straw man. Totalitarian socialism based on the Soviet model is not at all what Bernie is advocating. Look no further than the Nordic countries for the well run mixed socialist-capitalist economies Bernie is for.

Bernie is in favor of wealth and prosperity. The Soviet Union was against wealth and prosperity. It's so simple. Why don't Mexicans implement the Nordic Model?

The "Green New Deal"and "Medicare/Medicaid For All" are the same policy proposals and philosophies held by Democrats for 70+ years, since FDR's New Deal. The basic principles of "equality for all" (embedded in both policy positions) is why the French Revolution happened, is the history of thousands of years of revolutionary struggle. Anybody who does not know that is the rat dying in a trap wondering why the cheese is free.

So this has all been part of a long term agenda? You guys always denied there was Creeping Socialism.

Equality is a high minded ideal that comes out of privlidged universities, not urban ghettos. It's not what people want. Xenophobia is what comes from those great unwashed masses. That's populism and you hate it. People want identity, and culture, and family, and love, things government can't give them. You don't even want to give us food and housing. You want to drug us up with free pharmaceuticals, so we can cope with the intolerable conditions you impose.

Your history is wrong too. All the New Deal programs were expansions of Republican Hoover programs. Republicans were the party of big government and big business. The Democrats were only beginning to morph into the same, inspired by progressive central planners like Hitler and Stalin. FDR pretended to be something different, even criticizing Hoover for increasing government spending so much.

Your post and your history are beyond wrong. The fight for equality began before colleges existed, before the US existed, before the word "socialism" existed, before all historic African slave trafficking began.

Even with all we can see that's happening to the people of Venezuela, Sanders still won't condemn Maduro. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about Sanders, you aren't paying attention.

What do you think is happening in Venezuela? The US is attempting an undisguised coup against its democratically elected leader to install a right-wing puppet so that the US can control the greatest oil reserves on the planet. That's the reality of what's happening. Fools like yourself also believed Afghanistan and Iraq were behind 9/11, that Saddam Hussein had "weapons of mass destruction", that Libya deserved to be reduced to ruins because Gaddafi was about to commit genocide against his own people, and that Bashar Al-Assad was gassing his own citizens. How many times do these same lying scenarios have to be played out for you Americans to wake up to the reality of your own sack of shit scumbags in Washington of both parties?

reply

Maduro is refusing humanitarian aid for his people because the paranoiac swears it's just a ruse to try to bring troops in. He cares more about his power than his people, and you're sticking up for him. That says all anyone needs to know about you, too

reply

Russian and Chinese aid is being accepted freely. They dont want US aid for obvious reasons. People .like yourself only believing the best in America are pitiable lickspittles to leaders who don't give a damn about you or the people of Venezuela. Turn off the boob tube

reply

If it were a conservative leader refusing much-needed aid for their starving people, I'm sooooo sure you'd say the same thing. 🙄
