Comedian John Petite said he was in Russia, and saw long lines waiting to get bread.

Democratic socialists are too embarrassed to admit they are socialists. They know they would immediately be identified as communists."Ready to admit how truly dumb you are????"Amusing how, when I smash a custard pie in your ugly kisser, you Leftists attempt to simply wander off.....slither off.You had to go back pretty far to smear Sanders. I guess by your measure Trump is a pro-choice Democrat who would invite the Clintons to his wedding.

“Where has socialism ever worked?” Scandinavia seems very happy with their socialism."
I eviscerated you, with this:
"For many on the left, the answer to the last question is “the Scandinavian countries.” The problem, however, is that the Scandinavian countries have, by some measures, freer markets than the US, which the left sees as the archetype of capitalism. At the very least, they are not significantly different from the US in their degree of economic freedom.
Abolishing markets does not describe the Scandinavian countries, though it does capture a lot of what was going on in Venezuela. Socialism, at least historically, did not simply mean “a large welfare state” as we see in Scandinavia. In fact, the only way countries can afford larger welfare states is to have economies productive enough to produce the wealth that can be taxed away to support such programs. This is why the Scandinavian countries deregulated (and lowered tax rates) so much in the last decade or two: only through freer markets could they afford their transfer programs.
If you love the Scandinavian model, you don’t love socialism. You love market capitalism, because that’s what makes that model possible. (Whether large welfare states are necessary or desirable is a matter for another column.)

Ready to admit how truly dumb you are????
Not just yet. You have again failed to backup your allegations with facts.
What is a Democratic Socialist?That sounds an awful lot like Bernie and the Scandinavian countries so I'll ask again, which of Bernie's policies isn't found in the Democratic Socialist countries?
A democratic socialist is someone who believes that the government should provide a range of basic services to the public for free or at a significant discount, such as health care and education. Unlike socialists, democratic socialists do not believe the government should control all aspects of the aspects, only help provide basic needs and help all of its citizens have an equal chance of success.
Democratic Socialism vs. Socialism
Both democratic socialism and socialism advocate for a redistribution of wealth and power to meet public needs, not make profits for a few. Both aim to weaken the power of corporations and increase the power of the working people.
Democratic socialists, however, do not think the government should immediately take control of all aspects of the economy. Democratic socialism focuses more on providing basic needs to all people, such as health care and education. Democratic socialism, unlike socialism, would achieve this through democratic means and not an authoritarian rule.
Ok, first of all, during the whole 'Russia Collusion' crap,Well, little wonder that Putin and his trolls are rooting for him!
Facebook 2020: Russian trolls are back to meddle with the coming US election - CNN
it had been reported that 'Russia' favored Trump and Sanders
Secondly, from the article you linked to....

...with the caption
A fake Bernie Sanders' supporters page posted an image
attacking the candidacy of Vice President Joe Biden
Why the fuck can't legal action be taken against these idiots
So, this ad isn't attempting to influence the elections
by trying to influence voters

That something we can all agree on. What is harder to agree on is what is good and what is evil. Only a ideologue or a zealot knows what is good and what is evil and that is what makes them so dangerous.Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. ...

It's lookin' more and more like Democrats enter November as the red party.
And this Democrat Congressman knows what that means:
‘We lose 48 states’: Democratic congressman says Trump would demolish a democratic socialist candidate
Ryan, an Ohio congressman who has endorsed Joe Biden since dropping out, argued that picking Bernie Sanders would be a mistake for Democrats. He told Fox News on Tuesday that the public would not support a self-described democratic socialist.
“I, personally, am very, very concerned about some of the folks who are running,” Ryan said. “I think, you know, if we run under a democratic socialist banner in 50 states, I think we lose the industrial Midwest. I think we lose 48 states. I think we lose working-class union voters who have negotiated their private healthcare and want to keep it, and they don’t want to be forced into a public healthcare system.”
He added: “You lose those voters, and I think some of the other issues as well. I think that would be disastrous for us. I think Joe Biden is the absolute best candidate for us. I think he beats Donald Trump in the swing states and the industrial Midwest, and it’s going to be a new day in America.”
‘We lose 48 states’: Democratic congressman says Trump would demolish a democratic socialist candidate
That's Quid Pro Jud....
Nobody told you, that no one knows what will happen during elections....it's rigged as Trump said. So don't believe the polls, the journalists and also the so called experts. That been said Bernie is too honest and clean for the world of politics in the US. from Trump to Clinton they are all in it for their own legacy and benefits.
"...Bernie is too honest and clean ..."
You've missed the point: he's wrong about everything, as is every adherent of the Church of Militant Secularism.
