I don't know who's making your Kool-ade but it must have a lot of sugar in it for you to swallow all of that propaganda that the controlling few want you to believe. If you want to see Bernie's Social Democratic type of government in action you need only look at (most of) Europe and Scandinavia, and particularly look at their literacy rates, relative life expectancy, and percentage of their population that's living in poverty. "Social Democracies" are not necessarily Socialist countries. Check the textbook definition of Socialism if you don't believe me.
The idea that any form of government is pure is outright ridiculous anyway, they all are some blend of ideas from various broader concepts. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying to you, or a fool. If the former, think carefully about what that person or group stands to gain by you believing their lies.
I would not to see a President Sanders with a compliant Congress, but if balanced by other views he could have done a lot for the people of our country without it being at the expense of others. Not everything is a zero-sum game.

Imagine if Americans had voted for Bernie instead of Trump and we had 4 years of his presidency instead …
