Only if you can show that 'Democratic Socialism' is not socialism, which you can't. The 'Democratic' part is superfluous.
- He’s not a socialist.
No, I'd rather have people with life and work experience doing the job. As Keating famously taught us, a country is a company. A business. It needs to be managed by people with relevant experience. That doesn't make me a conservative, It's just logical.Would you rather have zero people in politics with a conscience? You actually advocate for no government? Doesn’t work. People and private corporations don’t/can’t provide infrastructure.
Socialism, no matter what dressing it has, doesn't work. We proved it to ourselves here in Oz. Our public transit sucks arse, our medical system is worse ..... I want my Medicare card to work again. I'm pretty filthy on the fact that I paid the levy for 35 years, and now I can't even go to a doctor without cash. I don't think I can blame the conservatives though. The system failed.
I know he does good things and goes into bat for people, but ....Wikipedia is a pretty balanced, if not conservative source, but I urge you to take 10 minutes to read through his life’s work. Bernie probably works as a many hours per week as you and I combined. You may not consider it work, but I guarantee that neither you or I could/would do his job.
A lot of that time is spent fundraising for his self-promotion. Agreed I wouldn't/couldn't do it.
*Wikipedia is a minefield. Anyone in Bernie's position can author their own page, and dispute/delete addendums at will.
