I was Jewish in the USSR in the 80s. Please, don't speak for me. I absolutely don't hold this against Sanders. And I absolutely resent the virulent racism of the mostly Trump-supporting Soviet diaspora in the US.
Can we just stop with this Red Scare BS already? The USSR built nice subways and had a decent STEM education system and, compared to Imperial Russia, its healthcare was at least available to more than 1% of the population. It was also a terrible country. It is also dead and gone.
The Soviet Union is not coming back, @BillKristol. Definitely not in the US, which is an industrialized nation with a highly developed service sector. But you know what the US is susceptible to, with its history of racial strife and exceptionalism? Authoritarian fascism.
And, knowing this, if you look at Sanders and Trump, how can you bring yourself to say they are equally dangerous?
Especially considering that building a new USSR is not on Bernie's agenda, while building a white ethno-state is definitely on Trump's.
It's not in the same galaxy.

I mean, if Joe Walsh gets it...
