He knows that he's lying to all those who trust him when he claims that's what his democratic socialism is.

This statement is HUGE: The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state, which provides a high level of security for its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish.”....

Sanders is opposed to that part. BIG time. He's even said that democratic socialism would develop better people in a better society and at times has vaguely hinted at sacrifices needed. But he does not discuss the freedoms that must be sacrificed in order to evolve into better people.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
