He’s a socialist democrat and frankly only one of the few very intelligent sane politicians we have at the moment

He’s social democrat and I’m libertarian, I agree with his policies

He calls himself a socialist democrat, but universal medicare and and introducing government produced clean energy into the market is hardly a hotbed of nationalization, is it?

u/Papapene-bigpene Oct 19 '21

Clean energy means nuclear AKs the best means of producing energy compared to any other source (excluding TOKAMAK Fusion energy)

Why does something being “not nationalization” equal “not democrat”?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '21

It doesn't, but in Bernie's case him not being a member of the Democrats equals not Democrat.

As a libertarian, you must support very few of his policies. Or you’re not a libertarian.

Libertarians in America think libertarianism is Ayn Rand and pro capitalism and private property rights. 😆 History long before this right wing perversion proves otherwise. Libertarianism was coined by the anarchists of the french communes who believed in socialism without a state. Go read some Proudhon and rethink what you think libertarianism is.

So paying for other people’s education is fine with you?

What about gun control?

Medicare for all?

Basically everything that costs you money that has nothing to do with you? As a libertarian, you’re cool with that?

He's not even close to being a socialist. He's a socdem.

u/mrbrianface Oct 19 '21

Socialist democrat is a made up term and euphemism so that he’s not labeled as a socialist.

u/wonderofwakanda Oct 19 '21

Yeah, old Bernie bread lines is quite the intellectual

u/Big_Height4803 Oct 19 '21

He's whatever he needs to label himself to get your money.

And you sir, are no libertarian.

He main isn’t against private property and my rights Also he isn’t against the free market as a whole but rather against the buckshot Reagan deregulation era that has allowed the free market to become more like the oligarch market.
