What Bernie stands for is not radical or extreme. It’s nothing more than a return to the traditional FDR Democratic Party position of always being on the side of the working people in America. Prior to the 1980s, that was considered the core of the Democratic Party.

Those in both parties who paint Bernie as extreme are doing so in order to protect an economic paradigm that puts corporations before people. THAT is what should be seen as extreme.

It is radical and beyond extreme.
As a Canadian who does enjoy Medicare for all , very affordable education and child care.Are Americans ready to pay up to 50% income tax, 15% sales tax to support these benefits ? They aren’t cheap! Also,Medicare for all can really put a strain on the levels of health services.
Thank you that’s exactly correct!

It is fair to advocate for a higher standard of living.The way to to it is to find the path of least resistance with the wealthy.These, entrenched, invariably will ignore or not see much injustice or suffering.#PromotionNotDetraction

We love Bernie. We love most of his policies. But the "socialist" brand pretty much assures losses in PA, MI, WI, FL, NC, VA, NJ.... Even with above Obama turnout levels among young voters, it's too much to overcome.
