For those who are worried about the “socialist” label, Bernie is referring to the likes of European countries some of whom have more vibrant entrepreneurial capitalist opportunities than we do. But it’s not a healthy capitalism when so many people have no real access to capital.

I feel we all have access to Capitalism but many of us want “free access” to it. That’s not the way it works. Basically, we all want real $$, real homes, real cars, real medical privileges, real food. But not all of us want to work real hard to make it happen! Let’s be real!

Good thing no other country in the world is inacting anything Bernie is proposing. His lie on the sky BS is dooming him. He doesn’t have the votes or the momentum to get his policies enacted. He doesn’t have the down ballot support. White, educated, suburban woman aren’t back him

for real for real Bernie may be a DemSoc in name but his platform is Social Democracy which still has basis in the systems of Capitalism. There is no shred of demands of securing the means of production and public ownership of land in Sanders' policies as much as I would like it

Be good then if he weren’t so attached to his “label” and just promoted his ideas of a robust stoical safety net. That label is why he’s going to lose...

Not worried about labels. Just about plans that are unrealistic...illusory. This primary is over...or will be in 24 hours. Let’s get to the main event in top shape.

More worried about Bernie praising Castro. He is a very very stubborn man. Bernie that is not Castro.

We are not some insignificant European country. We hold the world together. We can not be compared to other the countries exactly the same! I can’t believe I have to say this, but communism = bad. How many millions do people need to die to get this straight? It’s so silly
