Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a Democratic presidential candidate, argued that his support for "democratic socialism" is not the same as the form of socialism that the government has imposed in countries such as Venezuela and Cuba.
Sanders made his comments during the presidential debate on Thursday evening. The senator was asked why he hasn't called Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro a dictator and if his socialist policy proposals are different from the socialist policies in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
"Anybody who does what Maduro does is a vicious tyrant. What we need now is international and regional cooperation for free elections in Venezuela so that the people of that country can make -- can create their own future. In terms of democratic socialism, to equate what goes on in Venezuela with what I believe is extremely unfair. I'll tell you what I believe in terms of democratic socialism," Sanders said.
"I agree with what goes on in Canada and in Scandinavia, guaranteeing health care to all people as a human right. I believe that the United States should not be the only major country on earth not to provide paid family and medical leave. I believe that every worker in this country deserves a living wage and that we expand the trade union movement," he added.

He is not just crazy, but stupid too.
Well, of course. Bernie’s tyranny is “Nice Totalitarianism”. Their tyranny is “Nasty Totalitarianism”.
(Bernie: “You think they ‘ll buy that?”)
Of course not. (Pay no attention to the fact that he went to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon.)
Bernie wants a kinder, gentler socialism. Sort of like a velvet dictatorship.
“Every worker in this country deserves a living wage.”
And then we’re going to take 60% of it to pay for those who refuse to work.
Bernie’s socialism is a stinking pile of poo ... and I don’t need to be lectured by anyone wanting me to stand in any mound of shit (with them) no matter how shallow they claim it is where they are standing ... they’re standing in crap!
“Everyone implemented socialism wrong in the past, but I know how to do it right!”
After 100+ years of failure, maybe — just maybe — there is no “right” way to implement socialism.
——worker——
In equality and laziness result in the inability to work at a high wage.
The living wage proposed is welfare, the dole
Bernie proposes a nation of Andy Capps
It’s Communism and as a member of the politburo, Bernie won’t even live in a shack working on the community farm.
Well or course not. Barnie KNOWS how to do it the right way this time. Fookin’ idjit! And there are assclowns that still buy his crap. Some of them don’t even have three (4?) homes.
The Left knows that the way for Communism to successfully take over the world is to destroy Western civilization which fought back against Communism for a century.
It’ll work THIS time because Bernie will be the one in charge...
We’ll call you a Hitlerian s**thead and then apologize. Would that make you feel better?
Note to Bernie and his fellow travelers: You don’t import 20+ years of El Salvador, Guatamala, Mexico, and the like.... and turn into Scandinavia.
“What we need now is international and regional cooperation for free elections in Venezuela so that the people of that country can make — can create their own future.”
It seems the people of Venezuela already made their country what it is!
Screw Bernie, and while we’re at it, screw all of the lying demonRATS.
Dem Soc means you get to choose your tyrant. But good luck getting rid of him!
Yes Bernie would rather destroy a nation with cancer instead of a heart attack.
You're a commie.
