And their answer was ...?
“How do you rectify your notion of Democratic socialism with the failures of socialism in nearly every country that has tried it?”
And Bernie’s answer was ...
to avoid the question, by answering a question that wasn’t asked.
Bernie replied, “Thank you for asking that question,” before continuing with a question himself. “Is it your assumption that I supported or believe in authoritarian communism that existed in the Soviet Union? I don’t. I never have, and I opposed it. I believe in a vigorous democracy.”
He has no answer, only manipulative rhetoric.
