Scandavia isn't socialist and is strongly capitalist. For yeaaaaaars scandanavia floundered economically under strong socialism doing almost exactly to the T what Bernie wants. It wasn't until the 90s when countries like Sweden actually reduced their crushing taxes and embraced capitalism that their economies started to take off. It is really irksome how badly liberals in the US characerize Scandinavian countries and how ignorant they are of their histories. Even the PM of Denmark had to correct liberals that his country was in fact strongly capitalist. Sweden has business laws that'd make liberals' minds melt, and a country like Norway is rich because of *gasp* oil! https://www.thelocal.dk/20151101/danish-pm-in-us-denmark-is-not-socialist https://www.vox.com/2015/10/31/9650030/denmark-prime-minister-bernie-sanders |
So if Bernie forgives student loan debt, who pays it, since it's already spent? |
And Trump says despicable things. Bernie does not. |
I hope Bernie gets the nom and not because I support him at all. I think if he’s the nominee, trump will win in a landslide - like Reagan v. Carter and Nixon v. McGovern. Don’t get me wrong, I think DJT is the worst most dangerous president ever. But Biden and mayor Pete would probably lose too but it would be a close loss. So at least with a landslide win over Bernie maybe his idiot supporters would shut up for a fricking minute and stop spewing their crazy theories about how the country totally wants to vote for a socialist with no plans. I doubt they’d see reason but it’s nice to think. |
This is so tempting because I also really want these “Bernie would’ve won” idiots to STFU but this country as we know it cannot survive another four years of Trump. |
Well, I guess if foriegn aid in Federal elections is ok, then they all may as well take advantage of it

He'd be better at it than Trump, that's for sure. |
Well great news if you admire the Scandinavian model. Because Bernie's "socialism" is modeled after the systems in Scandinavian countries. Hurrah! |
Marx, Stalin and Hitler were cranky, repetitive and sincere as well. How did that turn out? |
DP: you must be a very slow learner. What PP above showed you is the precise opposite of what you and comrade Bernie claim. Scandinavia (as all Western Europe) is capitalist, thank you very much. What Bernie talks about is more like the former USSR and current Cuba and Venezuela. |
You forgot to add Trump to the list. |
Nope. |
Volunteers are not “foreign aid.” |
Bernie. Is. Not. Electable.
Period. Trump will win in a landslide if Bernie is the nominee. Trump wants him to get the nomination. |
Agree that his supporters are the equivalent of Trump supporters, but Sanders is not the equivalent of Trump. I don’t like him but I believe he is smart, curious, thoughtful when making decisions, and without impulses to be a dictator. |
