Do you have sources for these claims?
Bernie Sanders thinks our government should be more like the ones found in Scandanavia

In terms of averages, yes, Americans are dumb. Not all of them of course, but enough to be embarrassed by.

Norway - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Granted the source is Wikipedia, but the article provides sources for its information.
Yeah! Pick Sanders for the Dem nominee! Please. It's McGovern all over again.
At last, something short of a triple fail troll thread!
You prove it every day.

That question belies a real problem.
There is no US public education system. There thousands if not ten thousands of school districts. Do you think they all perform the same.
I am amazed at your arrogance when it comes to dissing the American Electorate.
You are a classic example of someone who just throws stuff out there hoping they will believe it.
This forum sucks and you are big reason.

I agree with Bernie in this one respect: Norway has repealed its Anti-Blasphemy law.
The U.S. should follow suit and get rid of hate speech laws.
Expressing solidarity with victims of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, Norwegian lawmakers have repealed the nation’s anti-blasphemy law, under which no one has been convicted since 1912, and no one prosecuted since 1933.
“Any person who by word or deed publicly insults or in an offensive or injurious manner shows contempt for any creed whose practice is permitted in the realm or for the doctrines or worship of any religious community lawfully existing here, or who aids and abets thereto, shall be liable to fines or to detention or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months,” the old law stated. “A prosecution will only be instituted when it is required in the public interest.”

The average Joe republican, just like the average Pedro Democrat are not really worried about it right now.
If you have not noticed....the election is still quite a ways off.

This really is the argument.
Calling stuff "socialism" or "communism" or "Marxism" isn't helping the conservatives' cause, because that's not the goal.
Sanders refers to himself as a "social democrat", not a "socialist".

A good discussion of the issues would be worthwhile.
When that happens....we'll let you know.
Someone needs to tell the NY Times

Just saw an interview with him in which he calls himself a social democrat.
Many politicians on both ends change/reverse/revise their words over time.
The point is that using incorrect terminology doesn't help the GOP's argument. The Scandanavian countries are just a version along the spectrum of social democracies.
.
He called himself a Socialist when he was mayor and Senator. No surprise that the term is poison so he substitutes "social democrat" because no one in this country knows what that means.
The classic Scandanavian economic model, which they've all abandoned btw, is truly socialism.
Sanders campaign is not going to go anywhere.

I almost wish Sanders would win and be able to enact his quasi socialist vision just to see the reaction from his supporters when it fell on its face.

Yeap, the liberals and their moronic notion that there is some utopia out there where we can all live in harmony. Perhaps under a big tree and we all turn into blue flying creatures in a distant land.
Of course to the left the illegitimate American ideal is and always has been a false premise. Regardless of the fact that everyone has been granted opportunity.
To them, anything that is unfair, is unrighteous. Of course. Cause somewhere out there, there is a land where everyone is equal and there is no struggle. Everyone can freely smoke pot along with whatever substance that they deem as good.
Of course, yeah America sucks. Which must be the reason why so many from these failed ******* socialist countries are so desperate to get here.
******* liberals and their utter ******* mindless bullshit. Let Mexico border those countries, let them have a socialist **** have an open door policy and let us see how great things will be in those subarctic countries.
You stupid ******* moronic ignorant liberals. You think you are all so ******* smart, while being such deranged ******* morons at the exact same time.

We already have a preview. Dems had unfettered access to enacting laws from 2009 to 2011. They enacted plenty. Every one has been an abominable failure. The Left's reaction? It was Republican obstructionism. It was Bush's fault. It was Reagan's fauilt. We didnt spend enough money, We needed more controls/more regulations.
That has been their reaction to every failure of their policies for the last 60 years.
