The Truth of Sanders is That He Is a Socialist.

Democratic Socialism and Communism are the exact same things, just that one requires brain dead masses to implement and the other requires open revolution with blood in the streets, the end results are the exact same thing.
Once in power, the Constitution will be scrapped, the intellectuals rounded up for extermination and the masses will be led around by bullhorn to make them feel empowered.
Get to work for the good of the collective, in your one model car with rationed work use only gasoline in the tank made at the government owned plant, drab clothes, bland gov tv dinner style food. Oh and drones are watching for any sign of discontent so be careful out there in the Bernie Sanders alternate universe future because there are repurposed special places FEMA was so nice to leave for the commies, along with the rail system to cart you off in.

Where in Socialist countries in Europe besides the eastern block go the evil route of Russians? None of them. Russia made them do it. Socialism isnt evil. Dictators in control are evil and their jackbooted thugs. Its how you use the system. America has Social Security, Welfare, Unemployment payments, Medicare and now Obamacare. So all of thats socialism. Why so terrified? Your already living in socialism.

Oh ok, I get it.
So because I'm actually having a logical conversation and asking some real questions instead of just getting in a pissing contest with you, now you don't want to talk anymore.
WTF kind sh*t is that???
So if you're not here for a civil discussion then what are you here for??? Just to call people names and inflate your own ego by spreading your BS???
Amazing that when the conversation actually has some substance to it and starts to possibly go somewhere, that's when you don't want to talk.....
Fine, go. If you're that bored with me then leave. Nobody is stopping you.
We need to work together globally to ensure humanities progression, which means moving beyond all political ideology.

Yeah, well... the allegedly conservative, 'I know-far-better-than-you' 'adults' had their 20 years , then the 'not-so-mean, but not-so-progressive' wonks had their blip o' time... I'm about ready for socialism-lite, myself.
I survived many years of having loathed "leaders" at the helm of my country, and watched loved ones suffer and die due to the (ofttimes) vile nature of our Darwinian system, and am stunned that it may actually be the selfish, 'I-got-mine-screw- y'all folks' turn to white knuckle it for a spell.

Not to be rude, but do you have a problem with the public fire department?
Police?
Public libraries?
Sewer waste removal?
Military?
Snow removal?
Highways/Interstates?
Court systems?
Social Security?
Public schools?
Jail/prison system?
Business subsidies?
Face the music, socialism has existed in America for decades and the American populace at large hasn't given a damn regarding it. It's just a damn shame that mere cents in taxes go towards education as opposed to roughly $0.30 of every $1 goes towards military.
He would completely destroy or re-write the Consitution...
Because Presidents can completely do that, right? My goodness...
I never said anything about how "everything under the sun is good under socialism," stop with the ridiculous personal attacks. We are not children.
