Regressives are terrified of the social democrats because they might lose their overlords. Nothing terrifies regressives like losing their overlords. They will fight tooth and nail to protect their oppressors. Weird eh! I guess that is why they prefer to be regressives - bring back slavery. They miss it.

Bernie Sanders Pledges To Do A Better Job Of Explaining Socialism

Dayum! This is really happening.
Well I guess if you say that socialism is the government providing for everything, paying all your debts, and you can live a life of leisure and have plenty of alone time with your iphone, it is enticing to the youth.
Nobody's saying that except people lying about Sanders's position, and a large chunk of "da yoof" don't like the idea.

here is a further fact about Norway - the corporate tax rate is astronomical.

if you want to do business in Norway you pay way up.

America is the haven for "free enterprise". Where the corporations run free and run things.

U.S. presidential hopeful Sanders has heart procedure, suspends campaign

WASHINGTON — U.S. presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders was hospitalized on Tuesday with chest pains and a blockage in one artery and will suspend his campaign for the White House until further notice, an adviser said.
Sanders, 78, was in Las Vegas, Nevada, for 2020 presidential campaign events when he experienced discomfort and was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
“Following medical evaluation and testing he was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted,” Sanders senior adviser Jeff Weaver said in a statement.
“Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits. He will be resting up over the next few days. We are cancelling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates,” Weaver said.
Sanders, the oldest candidate among the 19 contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, was scheduled to hold a town hall in Las Vegas and appear at a gun safety forum on Wednesday.
Aides did not offer any guidance on how long Sanders might be off the campaign trail. The first nominating contest is not until Feb. 3 in Iowa, but Sanders is one of 12 candidates scheduled to participate in the fourth Democratic debate in Ohio on Oct. 15.
The U.S. senator from Vermont has been among the top contenders in the crowded field seeking the 2020 nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump.
A Democratic socialist, Sanders galvanized progressives during a 2016 run for president when he lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton but popularized left-wing ideas such as Medicare for All, his proposal for a government-run healthcare plan based on the system for Americans over the age of 65.
Thinking of @BernieSanders today and wishing him a speedy recovery. If there's one thing I know about him, he's a fighter and I look forward to seeing him on the campaign trail soon.

Sanders had been running in second place in the Democratic race behind front-runner Joe Biden until last month when a surge by fellow progressive and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren moved her ahead of Sanders in many polls.

The campaign halt comes the day after Sanders reported a big $25.3 million fundraising haul for the third quarter, putting him in the early lead in the closely watched campaign money race.
“Thinking of @BernieSanders today and wishing him a speedy recovery. If there’s one thing I know about him, he’s a fighter and I look forward to seeing him on the campaign trail soon,” Democratic 2020 rival Kamala Harris, a U.S. senator from California, said on Twitter.
