What makes democratic socialism different from regular socialism is that you voluntarily give up your freedom because you're stupid. What you get as the result is just the same, however. A form of tyranny.

Bernie himself doesn't even explain what socialism is. The voters are better left stupid in this case. Most think it's equivalent to welfare or infrastructure.

K-12 students have been indoctrinated for two generations (probably more) via “social studies” and “language arts” classes to view socialism as compassionate and wonderful.

The gov’t run schools and teachers unions are infested with liberals in the same way that colleges are. The vast majority of teachers are ‘rats and teach the socialist agenda openly without even trying appear neutral.

Until this changes the republicans/conservatives we will never obtain a majority of the young adult vote; this is the reason for the push by the ‘rats to lower the voting age down to 16.

My parents made sure all their children learned that money does not grow on trees. That simple concept is lost with today’s socialist yoot.

“How do you rectify your notion of Democratic socialism with the failures of socialism in nearly every country that has tried it?”

I think “reconcile” would have been a better word than “rectify”, but then I didn’t go to Harvard.

Fought 2 World Wars, all the while sowing the seeds of the EXACT thing(s) they were fighting.

The ‘radicals’ fully took over the education system, and nary a cry was uttered.

We’ve allowed the slow encroachment of Socialism for 100yrs+ and people are SURPRISED\*finally* (begin) waking up??

the funny thing is, i ask Bernie Sanders supporters which socialist country do they like? They don’t answer it, and never have! There is no successful socialist country at the moment, and there will never be. They have never lived in socialism, and if they had, they would never want to live in it again. With over 150 million killed from socialism/communism, how the hell is it ideal?

Bernie’s Millennials know a lot about socialism. They’ve been ingrained in it all their lives. The only problem is that what they know isn’t so.

Socialism is what you get when you reject God. Any knowledge of the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent shines a light on what socialism is all about.

Danny Elfman summed it up best:

Capitalism - Oingo Boingo

There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
There’s nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don’t try to make me feel guilty
I’m so tired of hearing you cry

There’s nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me I’ll say it’s just fine
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I’m so tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution
Bringin’ down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby!

If it ain’t one thing
Then it’s the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone’s brother
I’ve got to tell you you’re a pain in the ass

You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you

You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that we’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)

You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain . . .

There’s nothing wrong with Capitalism
