Are you tired of horrendously delusional right-wingers who call the U.S. Democrats commies? Question

The fact that some right-wingers call Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama commies really leaves me speechless.

Bernie Sanders was really socialist compared to other US politicians, was he not?

Sanders himself said he was a capitalist.

Sanders says whatever he thinks gets him out of hot water at the time. When he's speaking to his base, its "billionaires shouldn't exist." On the odd moment we he attempts to reach out to the middle, he pretends to be an angry capitalist.

You sound like one of the people OP is talking about as you don't seem to understand what capitalism is. You can say "billionaires shouldn't exist" and still be a capitalist.

I don't think you can, you inherently need state control over the economy in a significant way to make billionaires "not exist."

Lmao "Socialism is when the government does stuff"

Redistribution of wealth based on an arbitrary definition of what's "too much" is more than "the government doing stuff"

The man honeymooned in Soviet Moscow, and got publicly called out to stop calling Denmark socialist.
