A bird is not a plane, a plane is not a bird ...

Bernie Sanders has long been critical of U.S. foreign policy and was an early and outspoken opponent of the non-defensive Iraq War. He rose to national prominence following his 2010 filibuster against the proposed extension of the Bush tax cuts for uber-mega-wealthy individuals. 

Sanders favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries. 

Even during historic senate/congressional grid-lock, Bernie is a leading progressive voice on issues such as income inequality, universal healthcare, parental leave, climate change, LGBT rights, and campaign finance reform. 

He is also outspoken on civil rights and civil liberties, and has been particularly critical of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system and mass surveillance policies and programs. 

Comparing Socialism with Democratic Socialism is like comparing Foosball with Football. 

A bird is not a plane, 
And a plane is not a bird... 

And Bernie Sanders is not a 'Marxist Socialist'...but a pro-market/pro-people Democratic Socialist who wants a more even playing field for all people including the middle class...via a stronger mixture of social (people) interests, rather than too heavily tilted corporate interests...like most economically strong Scandinavian countries. 

Fyi..Bernie Sanders is only 1 year older than Joe Biden...5 years older than Donald Trump...6 years older than Hillary Clinton. And Bernie is a decade younger than half of the Supreme Court Justices. And Bernie has been a public servant for 35 years...longer than some of the Founding Fathers. 

So...the claim that "He's too old or inexperienced to be president" is a moot point. 

Bernie is Wise, Experienced, and he authentically cares about US✔️

I feel that Bernie is a Social Democrat. I think he's trying to move the country in the direction of Democratic Socialism, which I think is the perfect way to transition. Get people used to what it's like to be healthy, and then move on to working to build a country where people are happy as well.

One of the basic reasons I love Bernie is that he cares about people. The difference between Bernie and the Hillary is the difference between Democratic Socialism and Capitalism. One cares about people and the other cares about profit. But the relationship is even deeper than that. When I discovered the difference between Dem Soc and Capitalism, I could see a sense of fraternity that doesn't exist here anymore.

So Bernie's vision doesn't disrupt what we already have in place as a market. By tailoring laws that exist, and implementing new ones, we can get pretty close to Democratic Socialism, although I'm sure many economists would disagree.

Bernie's plans are quite mild to be honest.
