You really have no clue of what socialism is if you truly think so.

Sanders admits, to an extent, that he is one. He supports single payer health care, is a huge opponent of most trade deals, and supports an even higher corporate tax rate than we already have (which will just take more jobs away from the us). Not saying he'd outlaw private enterprise, but to say he endorses capitalism is incorrect.

What does being socialist 'to an extent' mean? That's like saying a woman is pregnant, but only 'to an extent'

Oh, good, you acknowledge that he's a capitalist. Before this line I was worried you might be saying something stupid

"I know Sanders is a capitalist, I know how he supports capitalism, but I'm going to argue that he isn't anyway"

Pls never change Wulfric Purple heart

Sanders admits to being a 'democratic socialist'. That's what I was alluding to above.

Also, socialism /=/ no non-government owned businesses:

And for you to act as if single payer, which involves the govt. Taking complete control of the health care industry, is a capitalist policy, is just silly.
