Bernie is not a Socialist, he is a SOCIAL DEMOCRAT!

[abaris]

I live in a country that, since 1975 has had two parties in government, the socialist party (PS) and the social-democratic party (PSD).

Yeah, in my country the conservatives also call themselves People's party, although they are nothing like that. They're all about big business.

In fact, American partisan labels kind of amuse me and kind of scare me. What's called conservative over there, would be far right in Europe. Aka Republican. Some more, some less. What's called Democrat, would be mainstream conservative. Obama would make a mainstream conservative in Europe. Maybe a bit to the right, but still mainstream. Bernie's agenda is social democratic. Keeping big business in check but in no way abolishing it.
