It pretty much sums up my view of things.

I like Bernie because of his philosophy and intended policies.

Bernie's biggest mistake was to use the "S-word" to describe himself. At one point, he did just say he was an "FDR Democrat." He should have left it there. Most of us would say "We love FDR."

Bernie admires the economic systems of the modern Nordic countries. What we often call "Scandinavia" is considered to be the happiest place in the world.
