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.

"Bernie wants housing, healthcare, and education to be an unalienable right"

You can't make someone else carry out a "right." That's insane.

Like how you ignored the fact that Trump is a billionaire. If you’re gonna bring up someone’s wealth then Trump should be the first one you look at

I'm not talking about Trump. He took his dad's money and made more. Good on him.

I'm talking about socialist, career public servants, that are getting rich being public servants.

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

Again, I don't trust any 3x homeowner, millionaire, socialist. Use your own product first before you try to sell it to me.
