It’s certainly a slippery slope to at least some of what you mentioned. Of course we all know he can’t win a general election with policies like that in the US. 

Sure, it's a slippery slope in the same way that Donald Trump is a slippery slope into totalitarianism.  Right?

Seriously though, how in the hell do you go from universal healthcare to.......any of that?   Do you recognize just how far down the slope those are?

Sanders' plan isn't just free healthcare.  He has a ton of features in his plans that do resemble a sort of "diet" version of traditional socialism, not the Nordic Model/Swedish Model that he references as being his alleged inspiration.  I've honestly been debating doing a whole series of threads on the issues with the comparison he constantly invokes.  His platform is riddled with issues.  And I mean actual issues, not McCarthyist tinfoil hat nonsense like that one reporter who said he would execute people.
