    Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world.

    Just utterly and completely wrong, Bernie would be firmly within the populist/socialist left of Europe, and probably the rest of the world too.

      The socialist left of Europe wants a UBI, forced dismantlement of megacorps in favour of cooperatives, harsh wealth taxes on net worth, separation of investment and commercial banking and so on. In comparison, Bernie wants a functional public healthcare system, and US oligarchs to pay at least some taxes.

        You think Bernie Sanders doesn’t want all of that, too? You should read his latest book.

        He was just being pragmatic when he mostly only talked about the most easily achievable and popular of his possible reforms.
