In Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate on CNN, Sen. Bernie Sanders said he was going to explain to Americans what democratic socialism is.
Moderator Anderson Cooper asked: “Senator Sanders, a Gallup poll says half the country would not put a socialist in the White House. You call yourself a democratic socialist. How can any kind of socialist win a general election in the United States?
Sanders replied: “Well, we're going to win because first we're going to explain what democratic socialism is. And what democratic socialism is about is saying that it is immoral and wrong that the top one-tenth of 1 percent in this country own almost 90 percent--own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. That it is wrong, today--in a rigged economy--that 57 percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent.
“That when you look around the world, you see every other major country providing health care to all people as a right, except the United States. You see every other major country saying to moms that when you have a baby, we are not going to separate you from your newborn baby, because we are going to have medical and family paid leave, like every other country on Earth.
“Those are some of the principles that I believe in, and I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people.”
Shortly later, Cooper asked Sanders: “You don't consider yourself a capitalist, though?”
Sanders replied: “Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little by which Wall Street's greed and recklessness wrecked this economy? No, I don't. I believe in a society where all people do well. Not just a handful of billionaires.”

‘We’re Going to Explain What Democratic Socialism Is’
Two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
Bernie, does every single socialist country let people without limit just march in and obtain all of these goodies? Until very recently in Europe, the answer was “no.”
Well, we’re going to win because first we’re going to explain what democratic socialism is>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sanders will hardly be telling the truth.
The truth lies here:( good read)

Democrat Socialism = Cultural and financial bankruptcy.
It’s not hard to explain. It’s the final stage of a republic that craves extinction to a literally sexual degree.
>> and I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway
You mean, white and Nordic? I guess Democratic Socialism is just National Socialism with porous borders.
.
White and Nordic. Kind of like Vermont?
The Democratic hierarchy knows that Sanders is dangerous because he actually believes the crap he spews out there and that he is espousing the real Democratic Party message. Can’t have that. Gotta make the people believe, with the media’s help, that they’re a centrist, middle-of-the-road party.
Russia is there to defend Assad against all comers.
What is likely to happen?
CNN claims that public believes Hillary won the democratic debate (and amplifies the opinion) but direct poll from CNN Facebook page says otherwise.

And Bernie isn’t going to be around long enough to live in the $#!+hole he proposes to create.
It’s basically Marxism under a pretty sounding name.
It’s absolutely insane to know that so many American MORONS are in favor of socialism.
I can’t help but think it must be just a matter of class envy.... just lazy idiots with inferiority complexes who hate other people with more money than they’ll ever have... It’s freakin’ sick!!!
Dear Senator:
Socialism does not spread wealth, it spreads misery.
And while we are on the point of democratic socialism, and democrats in general...
Where was the media question to the Dems about loyalty oaths, specifically for the independent senator from VT? Is he a registered democrat yet? As of Feb he was still a registered independent.
Sorry, but the ridiculousness of the situation makes my head hurt. I have to know...
No need Bernie, no one will turn down Santa Claus. Don’t waste your time talking to the 51%(?) that thinks you are a fool.
