(Democratic Debate) Bernie Sanders explains Democratic Socialism

Sen. Bernie Sanders explains why he describes himself as a Democratic Socialist at the CNN Democratic Debate in Las Vegas.

CNN: Owned by Time Warner
Bernie: Criticizes mainstream media
Hillary: $500, 000 campaign contribution from Time Warner.

That is all.

He explained social democracy, not the democratic socialism.

[scotchwhisky]

None of the countries he listed use democratic socialism, they're social democracies.

[HI]

I love how he never explains what democratic socialism is lol

[thatsabadtouch]

I think I must have missed where he defined "democratic socialism".

[markd.]

He's not even explaining democratic socialism, he's describing the welfare states of center-right to center-left social democracies. He's getting his terminology confused which is understandable. For example, I myself mix up the terms baseball and basketball despite loving both.

"SOCIALISM only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it."
-Ronald Reagan

Well, this was a country founded on hard work. If you take money away from people who succeed, what's the motivation for massing a business and hiring people? And then give it to people not doing anything, again, what's the motive to work?

“What is democratic socialism?” “THE ECONOMY IS RIGGED AND ITS NOT FAIR!”

[babbuhabibi]

Bernie, you're a great man, however I'm voting Trump. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

[morganperry]

funny how people still don’t get socialism from democratic socialism 😂

[sdbo]

can't wait for the bernie vs donald debate!!

[junshiiida]

After studying European politics I can confidently say Bernie Sanders is a mainstream center-left politician.

[sehlinwilliam]

Please, elect this man. After living in the U.S. for four years, I've seen how "your" society works - Bernie Sanders has ideas that need realization. I wish y'all the best of luck, from a Swede.

To understand Socialism, see Bastiat's "Legalized Plunder".

No, Socialists, you're not moral and you're not virtuous. Charity is a personal act of sacrifice, not an act you force on others through government.

[hunterg]

When did he even explain except just appeal to emotions.

[benstevinson]

Bernie Sanders is an American 🇺🇸 Legend!

"Let the “socialist” snivellers croak, let the bourgeoisie rage and fume, but only people who shut their eyes
so as not to see, and stuff their ears so as not to hear, can fail to notice that all over the world the birth pangs of the old, capitalist society, which is pregnant with socialism, have begun."

[strattonkersten]

Typical politician. Didn’t even answer the questions. Danced around it.

[napoleon]

No country is complete capitalist right now, nor communist, nor socialist, nor monarchist, nor feudalist. This is not socialism; this guy is just trying to have a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
