    In America, we name call and label what we do not want to have here. It is dishonest. It works on rightys very well though. Call it Socialism and the rightys bring out torches and pitchforks. The low level mob mentality is so easy to trigger. Universal healthcare is cheaper, covers all the people and is more humane.
    The right depends on lies, disinformation, paranoid conspiracy theories and the mob mentality. Robo is the result.

    You just defined the liberal left but lack the intelligence to comprehend the OBVIOUS.

    Bernie says the government should create, run & finance Medicare for all, even Bernie now admits that the wealthy ain’t got enough money to pay for that & everybody with a job would have to pay for it and all private healthcare provided by employers & or others, would have to be abolished because that money needs to be given to the fucking government for the Medicare for all program.

    Bernie says the Boston Marathon bomber has the right to vote from his jail cell.

    Bernie is a fucking kook!!!!!!

    Americans have the “RIGHT” to “PURSUE” happiness, with their own fucking money, not taxpayer’s money!

    Bernie’s preaching communism AKA “PROGRESSIVISM.”
    You clearly have no understanding of much of anything. Medicare for all would merely turn the health insurance premiums that are already being paid into taxes. Those taxes would probably wind up being less than the premiums.

    LIE and LAME. Medicare for all is a fraud that would derail our current medical system placing all the decisions in the hands of Washington. It would be a takeover of our current system and raise costs for EVERYONE while making care less efficient and less available.

    It's obvious that you understand nothing.

    Any worldly and sophisticated person should or could want to visit Russia irrespective of whether Brezhnev, Yeltsin, or Putin are sitting in the Kremlin.

    Remind yourself to never visit China because the commies are in power. I think you would be missing out on the experience of a lifetime though.

    Well, I probably won't visit China. That said, people generally honeymoon to someplace romantic, like Italy, France, or the Bahamas.

    I am not going to judge where people take their honeymoons.

    A trip to Russia would be an adventure, and 1988 was the height of Glasnost under Gorbechev, and there were a lot of westerners who were keen to visit the USSR.

    Trying to equate Bernie Sander's trip to Russia to his supposedly profound sympathy for Stalinism simply does not cut the mustard - and it could only be the product of a profoundly dishonest mind.

    Of course, it was the product of a profoundly dishonest mind.

    There is both. Denying them does not make them go away. Redefinition fallacy (socialism <-> void, capitalism <-> void).

    True. However, in the United States, socialism is illegal.

    They are also largely capitalist.

    That's what capitalism does. Socialism doesn't care about people.

    To a point. These are weak.

    WRONG. Canada does not have universal healthcare. It has no healthcare except what people are willing to buy for themselves. The same story is in the U.K., although not quite as bad as Canada.

    Canada is a monarchy. It is also quite socialist. Same with the U.K.

    Redefinition fallacy again.

    A redefinition fallacy is dishonest, dude.

    No, it doesn't. We catch you liberals at this kind of activity all the time.

    They should.

    Socialism is theft. It should be triggered.

    No, it isn't.

    No, it doesn't.

    Canada's healthcare system is not humane. Neither is the healthcare in the U.K. Neither is the theft required to pay for them.
    Your posts are getting dumber all the time.

    Please, you know he did it so that he could worship at the altar of communism.

    He went down to Latin America and sang the praises of Marxist and socialist movements there as well. It was probably dishonest of him to never address Che Guevara's mass murders in Cuba.
