Universal healthcare is a form of socialism, but it doesn’t make Britain a socialist country it’s still capitalist. Same with Norway Sweden Denmark Germany, Belgium, Finland etc

People keep calling Bernie a socialist for wanting to implement programs which already exist in most other developed European countries

He calls himself a socialist

@chad

well im from denmark and our healthcare system is utterly broken

It’s not like people are branding him as a socialist he openly admits to being one

my sister lives in sweden and there is a payment for every doctor visit there

Why don’t people in poverty just go into creative mode and spawn in some diamonds lol

so it's really like 500k each congressmen is getting along with donations and endorsements

oh i forgot to add lobbying too, well over a million some are getting paid
