    his ideas are very much based in socdem ideology. yes, he has policies more left than what we're used to in the US and some places in Europe, but they're not beyond the confines of the philosophy.

    Having a federal jobs guarantee and nationwide rent control, and 35% corporate tax rate is pretty excessive. The heavy taxation in European countries is on personal income and value added taxes

    we also have to consider that if he gets elected and his initial policies - we can largely expect these to be retroactive in theory. it’s supposed to be a balancing of the scales which obv will require a significant push to begin with

    obv not directed at you just saying

    Yeah, there’s a strong chance he compromises on most of that. But i was just tired of people saying that his stuff is normal in Europe, because for the longest time I thought that too and was saying that

    I dont see how any of those policies aren't practicing social democratic values though. yes, like I said, they may be a bit unusual in some modern social democracies, but these would not be out-of-place.

    social democracy isn't "free market with some regulation". its entire philosophy is built around the creation and maintenance of a welfare state, and even income redistribution to fight economic and social inequalities is a part of that welfare state.

    35% corporate tax rate is excessive lmao? wouldn't even be near the highest in US history, and would just be right around what it usually has been throughout the countries history

  • Mar 9, 2020

    Overthrowing the government sounds exciting

  • Mar 9, 2020

    I don't think the polls are wrong, so far the only contest where bernie overperformed was nevada. After 2016 they got more accurate

    35% was the official rate since the 80's

    The effective tax rate has been falling for decades, if anything it needs to be way higher.
