I think it would be funny as hell for the younger generation to vote Bernie in..

Then later be paying $5 a gallon of fuel, $16 for a pack of cigarettes, $20 for a 6 pack of beer just like in Canada, all in the name of "FREE" Healthcare :lol: :lol: :lol:
lmao Apparently, you cannot read very well. What he actually said:
Presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a self-described socialist and democratic socialist, told high school students in 1972 that he did not mind if people called him a "communist." Others calling him a communist is not the same as he himself calling himself a communist.
Like I suggested before, grow up.

See post #14 below . I do not , have not , and never will post links .

Okay so you don't post links. I can respect that. So then can you tell us when and where you heard him say this? I mean you must have direct knowledge of it if your confidence is so high that you don't have to supply a source right? Because I have tried to look it up and while I see many others label him a communist I can find nothing to verify he has ever referred to himself as such. I will stand corrected if you can tell me the circumstances in which you heard or saw in written form where he referred to himself as a communist.

hehe You're the one that's too stupid to figure out how not to be bored, you brainless blunder.
I always have something to do. I answered your simple-minded question a page or so back. My last reply was for PGS' benefit as well as yours. Too bad you didn't clue in.

Did he really? Even if he did, you've never misbranded yourself? And he's also self-described himself as a "democratic socialist". But people's biases usually use the worst aspect of people they disagree to describe them. It's an obvious exaggeration.

"Communism, political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society." - https://www.britannica.com/topic/communism

"In the present day, "Democratic socialist" and "socialist" are often treated as interchangeable terms, which can be confusing given democratic socialists don't necessarily think the government should immediately take control of all aspects of the economy.
They do, however, generally believe the government should help provide for people's most basic needs and help all people have an equal chance at achieving success. " - https://www.businessinsider.com/difference-between-socialist-and-democratic-socialist-2018-6
