No they don't...and only a person of low intellect would think that. I doubt he could get one-tenth of that program passed by the congress...and most cannot be done by presidential fiat.
He would lobby for many of those things...AND SO WOULD I. So would most people with any brains.
So...your point is???
Yes, he is. I mentioned that at the beginning of my OP...which you quoted above.In my opinion, having a socialist like Bernie Sanders as the 46th President of the US would be an utter disaster. Socialism does not work and make no mistake Bernie Sanders IS a socialist.
Hyberbole much?History has taught us this lesson time and again, but it seems socialism is a "zombie" doctrine that we simply cannot bury without having it resurrect itself again before too long and then start running amok down the high street. " Let me tell you, Frankie, Socialism SUX; Socialism TAKES IT UP THE ASS. Wherever you have BIG, bloated, intrusive, censorious and omnipresent government along with centralised social/economic planners dictating how individuals in the collective will live their lives, HUMAN FREEDOM inevitably suffocates and dies. (And) a life that experiences the dying ,and then the death, of human freedom is not a life worth living. You would yearn to join the "grateful dead."
True socialism is little more than one hundred years old. Using a "history has taught us time and time again" meme is absurd considering that.
So calm down.
Not sure why you find that funny, but I am delighted you have a good sense of humor.The funny thing you'll notice about the Democratic Presidential candidate contest at present is that two front-runners have now emerged: Bernie Sanders (socialist) and Mike Bloomfield (a "moderate" Democrat)
I also have one.

You're a miserable human. Anyone that would support what you support has proven they live a miserable existence. When your old ass goes into hiding on an anonymous forum because you were made to look like a fool, it's time you performed a retroactive abortion on yourself.
Have I said they do?
Not sure what kinds of comments and postings you expect from a happy and content person in a political forum of this sort...during a period of political turbulence such as we are now experiencing. But if you are supposing a "happy and content person" should be doing the equivalent of singing Kumbaya or Mairzy doats and dozy doats...you are way out of touch.
That is not going to happen in a place like this.
You've now gone to this well several times, TOP...so perhaps it is time to stop. Or, if supposing I am not a happy and content person fills some void in your life...by all means, continue. I am more than willing to reply.Doesn't "bother" me...I'm just commenting...
I prefer and encourage positivity
Have a great day.

Aren't countries amazingly different! I have never dreamed (except once, when I owed a local councillor a good turn) of voting for anyone who wasn't a socialist, and I stopped attending the Quakers when they asked a tory MP round to talk. I'm not alone either.

Nordberg,
There are lots of "programs" I know of that help people. I, for example, volunteer some of my spare time to a program called "Delta Dogs." The idea is that if you have a nice pet dog (like my Dachshund) you register it with the "Delta Dogs" program and they sent you and your dog out to visit old people who are in hospital or living on their own, etc. The people that you visit love meeting and patting your dog. Generally visitations are for about one to two hours and while the person you are visiting is enjoying the company of your dog, making conversation is very easy. So "the "Delta Dog's" program helps people by alleviating their loneliness and allowing them to enjoy having some fun getting to know your pet dog.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with socialism which is a lethal and destructive, collectivist, politico-economic ideology; one that has failed disastrously in every single place in the world where it has been (temporarily) established.

The rightwing does not even know what socialism is.
They are all over the map
They spent a decade calling Barack Obama a Marxist-Socialist.
They spent entire careers calling western european nations socialist.
Then they will quickly backtrack and try to claim socialism only means Venezuela, USSR, and Cuba
I really think the word socialism is the vestige of a residual psychological fear that generally only triggers certain people who are over the age of 60.
