Every single major Western ally of the US embraces the policies and approaches to social welfare that @BernieSanders is condemned for. Further countries embracing those policies top the league tables for everything from quality of life to fiscal responsibility.
The "socialism" is "un-American" attack on Sanders is a ridiculous, discredited antique (used against Roosevelt & Truman for conscience and social well-being driven policies). Providing health care, seeking opportunity for all, protecting the environment are what good gov'ts do.
Further, the majority of all Americans support health care for all, more steps to combat climate change, a more equitable tax code, fighting corruption in DC. Not a majority of progressives or of Democrats...but of all Americans. These ideas are in fact, profoundly American.
In fact, they are the foundation for how modern, civilized societies work and to the extent we resist them we are an outlier, serving a tiny fraction of our richest and most powerful people and companies at the expense of everyone else.
In fact, this anti-health care, anti-equity, anti-environment smear is the threat to all of us & the policies behind it are what has driven pernicious inequality in the US and nearly choked the life out of the American dream. It is time to end...the anti-socialism smear.
