Can you explain to me how single-payer healthcare leads to exterminating social groups?
Like I understand there's some wacky left people out there just like there's some wacky right people out there. But like what has Bernie Sanders done to spook y'all?
Not the OC, but I think it's a difference in definition. The U.S. thinks that things like single-payer health care are "far left," while in the rest of the world, that's a centrist policy. Bernie Sanders is a centrist; the Democratic Party is center-right. The far left is utterly unimaginable for Americans.
You Americans have such wacky ideas about what "far left" means...
Bernie Sanders isn't close to being far left, he is center-left, classic social democratic. He is a sound centrist by European standard.
Here is what far left really means: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-left_politics
