Bernie Sanders

I'm in the same boat...I am never an expert and am always uncomfortable in getting into detailed discussion, without having materials in my hand..I know I fully support Bernie and can nod in agreement but I'm no debater.
However, the difference between Socialism and DEMOCRATIC Socialism makes so much sense to me...Democratic Socialism allows for capitalism but with regulation...it can't just run amok like it feels now. Socialism ends up being much more, uhmm, dictatorial (for lack of a better word).
Someplace I saw a great side by side comparison of Socialism and Democratic Socialism...wish someone could find it.

Ooh, they are so cute! I love when they all chew at the same time. You could put music to that

I had a strawberry patch in my yard. Hot sunny years make super sweet harvests.
