Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a 2020 White House hopeful, on Sunday dismissed concerns that his status as a self-proclaimed democratic socialist would be a liability in a general election and said President Trump’s description of his ideology as “communist” was inaccurate.
“Obviously I am not a communist,” Sanders told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” in response to a clip of Trump using the designation in a Fox News interview, adding that Trump “maybe doesn’t know the difference.”
Sanders also called Trump a “pathological liar” for claiming Sanders was “married in Moscow.”
Wallace continued to press Sanders on how he would address criticisms that agenda items such as the Green New Deal, Medicare for All and forgiveness of college debt are both overly radical and prohibitively expensive.
“In many respects, we are a socialist society today,” Sanders responded, noting the tax breaks and subsidies Trump received from the government as a businessman.
“The difference between my socialism and Trump’s socialism is I believe the government should help working families, not billionaires,” he added.
Addressing his specific proposals, Sanders said both the price tags and the overhaul of the status quo were preferable to the alternative.
“If we leave the [health care] status quo alone, in the next 10 years we’re going to be spending $50 trillion,” he said. “Medicare for All will cost the average American less than the $12,000 a year they are paying the insurance companies.”

“In 1972, Sanders, then a gubernatorial protest candidate for the socialist Liberty Union Party, visited an alternative high school in Rutland, Vermont, to give his campaign pitch. During a question-and-answer session, Sanders, then 31, brushed off accusations of being a left-wing radical.
“I don’t mind people coming up and calling me a communist,” Sanders said.”
even if you are not an instigator of evil (communist), you are a sympathizer/supporter of the instigators. That makes you a useful idiot of evil.
Bernie is a commie.
There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. — The Ayn Rand Lexicon
Both take from the many and give to the few, they boil it down to two classes those that work and those that take the spoils and rule the workers.
Ayn Rand was a Russian immigrant, one of her early protégés was Alan Greenspan, who now lives with Andrea Mitchell, another lying communist media whore.
I have read several of Rand’s books (not that it matters much), she was a professional bullsh*tter sent here by the Soviets to spy on the USA.
I really don’t care if she claimed to be a capitalist, I only care about the Constitution, not someone’s religion or their lack of one... Same is true for all of the other so-called liber-tard-ian luminaries like Murray Rothbard, who I also think was full of Shiite.
Unlike Henry Ford, who was one of the greatest capitalists that ever lived, neither Rand or Rothbard ever produced anything, they had a parasitic relationship to the body politic.
Based on that load you just wrote I predict a zot is in your future. Good luck with that!
Ayn Rand never produced anything, she never built anything.
What makes her such a great capitalist? She was a leech.
Thomas Edison built things. Henry Ford built things. John D. Rockefeller built things. Donald Trump built things.
What does that mean?
Because I think Henry Ford was a capitalist and that Ayn Rand was full of crap, you’re going to try to get me banned?
Ha ha ha . . .
I don’t belong to your cult of Ayn Rand so I cannot be a true capitalist?

To the victims of both socialists and communists, the hunger is difficult to distinguish, one from the other.
Bernie Sanders recently praised the Chinese Communists, also has praised breadlines as a good thing, praised the Soviet Union, praised the Castro regime, praised the Sandinistas and worked with them to counter the US, has top campaign advisers that are known supporters of the Maduro regime in Venezuela, recent undercover videos have exposed his campaign staffers support starting Soviet-style gulags and re-education camps for those that disagree with their policies, wants every criminal behind bars to be able to vote including rapists, terrorists, serial killers, etc.
You always pay less for services that are no longer available...but at least you’ll have “coverage” on paper.

He sounds like Lee Harvey Oswald when Oswald was on the radio explaining how he wasn’t a Communist or Marxist-Leninist because he was a Marxist.
I truly wish he’d have gone terminal.
Bingo!

Your little screed seems rather dense. Ayn Rand lived through and survived the Russian Revolution and came here in exile to warn us of the evils of Socialism/Communism and embraced Capitalism as the only way to counter Communist degeneracy.
You remind me of Obama saying She didn't built anything. I suspect you haven't ever read her works. I've read all four of her major works and consider he a harbinger of the threat of the modern Socialist Democrat Party, her atheism notwithstanding.
