Social Security, Medicare, child labor laws and agriculture subsidies are all examples of U.S. socialism in full scale. Not to mention infrastructure, public education, and public utilities. Bernie wants housing, healthcare, and education to be an unalienable right. It is entirely possible for these to be achieved with, a short term blow to taxpayers, but a long-term benefit to all U.S. citizens for generations. Denouncing policies by calling them "communism" or "socialism" leaves no room for discussion and nuance.
FYI voting for a capitalist billionaire felon is infinitely worse. Bernie's net worth is 3 million for a guy whos pushing 90. If you went through the 1960s all the way to now by saving you would be a millionaire too. I'm surprised his net worth isn't higher.
If you’d read the last part of my bigger comment, you’d know Bernie’s net worth is 3 million. Very doable as an 83 year old and you need quite some proof to say he’s somehow profiting off of his position
