Bernie Sanders thinks our government should be more like the ones found in Scandanavia

[Billy000]

Which Scandinavian country?

Norway and Denmark are controlled by right wing governments that restrict immigration, cut spending, and cut taxes. Sweden is a cultural marxist shithole being flooded by over a hundred thousand third world refugees a year, that is going into massive debt. In Sweden, income inequality that is rising even faster than that in the US at the moment due to the influx of cheap foreign labor in part. I thought Sanders opposes income inequality?

Do you have sources for these claims?

 

[Billy000]

He's right. Sander's entire political position is dictated by FACTS. You know those pesky things republicans try to avoid to win over a stupid American populace.

He has a long shot. I know that. He probably ultimately won't become president, but you know his message will at least be heard. Hopefully something comes out of that.

The Koch brothers donated close to a billion to the republican campaign. Thats twice as much of the funding for the entire 2012 republican campaign. Two guys essentially comprise an entire third party.

Why are average joe republicans okay with that?

How nice of you to call the American populace stupid.

If Bernie is fond of Scandanavia....he can move there.

"Politically" stupid. Ignorance about politics. If we were discussing basic education I would just bring up our worldwide numbers.

So, is Billy one of those stupid American populace.

Are you ?

Am I ?

In terms of averages, yes, Americans are dumb. Not all of them of course, but enough to be embarrassed by.

Norwegians enjoy the second-highest GDP per-capita among European countries (after Luxembourg), and the fourth-highestGDP (PPP) per-capita in the world. Today, Norway ranks as the second-wealthiest country in the world in monetary value, with the largest capital reserve per capita of any nation.[89] According to the CIA World Factbook, Norway is a net external creditor of debt.[2] Norway maintained first place in the world in the UNDPHuman Development Index (HDI) for six consecutive years (2001–2006),[8] and then reclaimed this position in 2009, through 2014.[17] The standard of living in Norway is among the highest in the world. Foreign Policy Magazine ranks Norway last in its Failed States Index for 2009, judging Norway to be the world's most well-functioning and stable country.The OECD ranks Norway fourth in the 2013 equalised Better Life Index and third in intergenerational earnings elasticity.[90][91] Based on continued oil and gas exports, coupled with a healthy economy and substantial accumulated wealth, Norway is expected to continue as among the richest countries in the world in the foreseeable future.

Yeah! Pick Sanders for the Dem nominee! Please. It's McGovern all over again.
At last, something short of a triple fail troll thread!

Do you know where the US public education system ranks among the rest of the world?

That question belies a real problem.

There is no US public education system. There thousands if not ten thousands of school districts. Do you think they all perform the same.

I am amazed at your arrogance when it comes to dissing the American Electorate.

You are a classic example of someone who just throws stuff out there hoping they will believe it.

This forum sucks and you are big reason.

 

[boedicca]

I agree with Bernie in this one respect: Norway has repealed its Anti-Blasphemy law.

The U.S. should follow suit and get rid of hate speech laws.

Expressing solidarity with victims of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, Norwegian lawmakers have repealed the nation’s anti-blasphemy law, under which no one has been convicted since 1912, and no one prosecuted since 1933.

“Any person who by word or deed publicly insults or in an offensive or injurious manner shows contempt for any creed whose practice is permitted in the realm or for the doctrines or worship of any religious community lawfully existing here, or who aids and abets thereto, shall be liable to fines or to detention or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months,” the old law stated. “A prosecution will only be instituted when it is required in the public interest.”

The average Joe republican, just like the average Pedro Democrat are not really worried about it right now.

If you have not noticed....the election is still quite a ways off.

 

[Mac1958]

This really is the argument.

Calling stuff "socialism" or "communism" or "Marxism" isn't helping the conservatives' cause, because that's not the goal.

Sanders refers to himself as a "social democrat", not a "socialist".

A good discussion of the issues would be worthwhile.

When that happens....we'll let you know.

Just saw an interview with him in which he calls himself a social democrat.

Many politicians on both ends change/reverse/revise their words over time.

The point is that using incorrect terminology doesn't help the GOP's argument. The Scandanavian countries are just a version along the spectrum of social democracies.

He called himself a Socialist when he was mayor and Senator. No surprise that the term is poison so he substitutes "social democrat" because no one in this country knows what that means.
The classic Scandanavian economic model, which they've all abandoned btw, is truly socialism.

Sanders campaign is not going to go anywhere.

 

[blackhawk]

I almost wish Sanders would win and be able to enact his quasi socialist vision just to see the reaction from his supporters when it fell on its face.

 

[Theowl32]

Yeap, the liberals and their moronic notion that there is some utopia out there where we can all live in harmony. Perhaps under a big tree and we all turn into blue flying creatures in a distant land.

Of course to the left the illegitimate American ideal is and always has been a false premise. Regardless of the fact that everyone has been granted opportunity.

To them, anything that is unfair, is unrighteous. Of course. Cause somewhere out there, there is a land where everyone is equal and there is no struggle. Everyone can freely smoke pot along with whatever substance that they deem as good.

Of course, yeah America sucks. Which must be the reason why so many from these failed fucking socialist countries are so desperate to get here.

Fucking liberals and their utter fucking mindless bullshit. Let Mexico border those countries, let them have a socialist fuck have an open door policy and let us see how great things will be in those subarctic countries.

You stupid fucking moronic ignorant liberals. You think you are all so fucking smart, while being such deranged fucking morons at the exact same time.

We already have a preview. Dems had unfettered access to enacting laws from 2009 to 2011. They enacted plenty. Every one has been an abominable failure. The Left's reaction? It was Republican obstructionism. It was Bush's fault. It was Reagan's fauilt. We didnt spend enough money, We needed more controls/more regulations.
That has been their reaction to every failure of their policies for the last 60 years.
