They'll probably call it "democratic communism". - Spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.

Sanders hoodwinks his followers by hanging the word "democratic" onto his philosophy. We aren't terribly bright when it comes to sloganeering, and it will work again.
LOL, what an ill-informed "prediction". - nm

Bernie too soft on Hillary - Hoping to be vice president?

When it comes to her e-mails he does not want to politicize them? Receiving top-secret emails on a private server should be politicized. It is a reflection on her JUDGEMENT - just as much as her vote for the Iraqi war was poor judgement, just like her well-paid ($675,000 for 3 speeches financed by Goldman Sachs) speeches prior to running for president is bad judgement, just like blaming her husband's affairs on a vast right wing conspiracy was bad judgement. What is her record but a series of mistakes and bad judgement that she blames on the right wing.
Go after her Bernie if you want to win. If you just want to run for her vice president then keep the kid gloves on.
He would never agree to be her VP and I'm ...sm - VTMT

sure Hillary would never ask him. Bernie is in it to win it. The latest national poll shows him close behind Hillary at 42% to her 44%!
If Bernie is in it to win it use her emails against her - It shows poor judgement at the least.

First he says America does not care about her e-mails and now he says he does not want to politicize this issue. The issue is Hillary used poor judgement and there may be some shadiness as to why she did it. She is either dumb as a rock for having those e-mails sent to private server or there is something shady going on.
I care about the e-mails and everyone else should to. You want to elect someone who is not stupid or shady.

Went to the grocery store, rolled out the door with my cart overflowing. Manager ran out and demanded payment. I told him to send the bill to Bernie and he said "Oh, okay."
Food problem solved. Now I'm going for my free Ph.D.

shoots you for asking Reference where to find a Koran?
But, oh, wait, there won't be any libraries --- we don't like socialism. Taxes paying for societal common goods will be eliminated--right???
Enter reality will yah?
That is NOT the definition of socialism! - Reality yourself.

Trouble yourself to learn something about what socialism is before undertaking to teach those of us who already know.
Reality is that "pure socialism" is purely - academic--not pertinent

to discussion of #BernieSanders. Frankly, with what has been spewed by Republicans, my scenario is much more of a reality than your grocery store scenario.
Both are silly, and that was the point...
Yeah, socialist countries are well known for their libraries... - ...their roads...their schools...their poverty.

It amazes me how easily some people can be led around by the nose without asking the critical questions that might warn them of their error.

we can stop repeating ourselves! If you read a short way down the board you will see a list of some of the countries that practice democratic socialism, none of whom have nasty roads or crumbling infrastructures.
...and what critical factors are omitted with those - countries as compared to the US?

There are at least five, one of which is which of these countries have already begun to tilt away from socialism?
You can't name them, but I can - because I DO read more than the hogwash propaganda put out by the Sanders machine.
Bernie's Top TenMar 28, 2011 Sanders compiled a list of some of some of the 10 worst corporate income tax avoiders.

Yes, Bernie.Jan 02, 2016 Sanders doesn't think it makes sense for "students to pay a higher interest rate for college loans than people pay on mortgages and car loans."
First, Mr. Sanders, student loan rates are running around 5%, so they're hardly exorbitant.
Second, Mr. Sanders, home loans and car loans are secured loans. The lender can repossess the home or the car if payment isn't made. Student loans typically are unsecured by any collateral.

Income and wealth inequality: In the United States today we have the most unequal wealth and income distribution of any major country on earth -- worse than at any time since the 1920s. This is an economy that must be changed in fundamental ways.

A few needed more information and were yet undecided (as is to be expected).
The difference I really noted was that there were no adamant negative responses. When canvassing for Pres. Obama there were many negative responses, and I was canvassing from Democratic rolls. The above Sanders contacts were completely blind (no preference known at this time) .
