What are your objections to socialism? And why do you prefer capitalism? Also even though Bernie is a socialist his policies are effectively social democratic policies, anywhere else in the world he'd be center-left. Every other developed nation has what Bernie is fighting for, and they're happy with it.

Government should never be trusted to handle most industries. There should definitly be restriction in the private sector but it shouldnt be government ran because they can't be trusted. I don't trust the government so it I would make no sense for me to want them to run mor eindustries. Like I said capitalism isnt perfect but imo it's the best economic system we have so far an you can still have a capitalist economy but you can implement policies that amke the economy work for the people like Yang has been promising.

If Bernie becomes the leader of the party more mainstream dems will move left and he'll adopt more socialist parties and sooner than later the Democratic party will be full of socialist.

If Bernie becomes elected I honestly don't see a lot of his policies getting done. I think we'll have more frequent government shutdowns, a worse economy, an increase in illegal immigration since he wants to decriminalize border crossings. He seems like a nice genuine guy and it's terrible how the media has treated him but he's just too much of a socialist and i'd prefer everyone else running now over him (besides warren, she's a snake).

Hmm I see, thank you for your perspective. Well although I do disagree with you, I understand where you're coming from.

No president can accomplish everything they promise but a huge movement to the left is what I feel we desperately need in this country. Save for a few key social issues the Democratic party has moved too far right and is basically what the Republican party should be. Both parties have failed the American people, I think we need a president who understands that and will actually work on behalf of us rather than special interests.
