Bernie’s agenda to them is about “free shit” and while technically it’s true, republicans obviously have no trouble accepting “free shit” that already exists like Medicare/medicaid, public school for kids, emergency services, driving on public roads, letting goddamn snowplows plow those very public roads.
Now granted, you can make the argument that those socialist services are not free because taxes pay for them, but that doesn’t change the fact that Bernie’a proposed socialist ideas would be funded by tax payer revenue.
Here is a couple of Bernie’s new ideas to a model that’s always existed in the first place:
1) Tuition-free education (this benefits society as a whole mind you because jobs that require higher education help run this country)
2) Medicare for all because most people can’t afford advanced healthcare services like cancer treatment or goddam insulin
Republicans like to pretend that his platform is all about destroying capitalism and have everyone live off the dole even though it clearly isn’t. They just decide this because it fits in with their Fox News/GOP worldview. It makes them feel manly and superior believing that kind of crap. Making college and healthcare free isn’t about taking away personal responsibility. It’s about making services more accessible because right now people can’t afford them.
Of course, beyond just an individual benefit of programs, he believes in common sense government investment like infrastructure and overturning Citizens United.
I don’t understand why
I'll add it to the list of 2000 other things you don't understand.
republicans reject social democratic principles like Bernie’s platform
Because communism sucks.

2.9% of every paycheck......not free.
public school for kids,
Property taxes.
emergency services, driving on public roads, letting goddamn snowplows plow those very public roads.
Property taxes, sales taxes, income taxes.

No shit, you stupid fucking twat.
Tuition-free education
That is an awesome idea! Like the Peace Corps.
You get a bunch of teachers to work for free....it'll be awesome!
Medicare for all because most people can’t afford advanced healthcare services like cancer treatment or goddam insulin
Nah. Government interference has already made healthcare (and college tuition) much too expensive.
Republicans like to pretend that his platform is all about destroying capitalism
Only because it is.
he believes in common sense government investment
That's hilarious!!
and overturning Citizens United.
I should be prohibited from making a video highlighting Dem corruption? Screw you, comrade.
