He can call himself anything he wants, but it is impossible to have socialism in America. All you can have in America is a robust capitalist democracy like every other western nation. He is simply a very liberal person who wants a vigorous welfare state. He says it for effect, and i wish he would stop it!! It is too sophisticated for most people to see what he is saying and who get confused by it, like you-lol. <,vMessage #480613 from Wharf Rat at 10/3/2021 3:59:02 PM Bernie's a socialist. “In Vermont, everybody knows that I am a socialist and that many people in our movement, not all, are socialists. And as often as not — and this is an interesting point that is the honest-to-God truth — what people will say is, ‘I don’t really know what socialism is, but if you’re not a Democrat or a Republican, you’re OK with me.’ That’s true. And I think there has been too much of a reluctance on the part of progressives and radicals to use the word ‘socialism.’” politico.com
