    Bernie's non-progressive values annoy the shit out of me.  
    In the US,  it would impossible for his ideas not to be considered progress.


    unimplementable ideas are useless. little to nothing he proposes gets past 2/3s in the Senate.

    Socialist and progressive are not interchangeable terms.

    So, please tell me in what way would tax funded health care not be progress in this country of yours?

    I mean, how many years behind the rest of the world are you with that basic idea?

    So yes, from where you stand as a country -- some social democratic values, that spread through more successful democracies decades ago, would be progress for you. Because you are Twilight Zone levels of behind in the name of capitalism and political corruption.

    Progress is not synonymous with progressive.  They may overlap from a terms perspective, but they are not the same, just like socialism is not always the same.  None of your last paragraph has anything to do with the distinction I'm drawing between a progressive policy and socialist policy.

    Should Elisabeth Warren start calling Trump "Brokahontas" like Bill Maher thinks?

    Free college tuition and debt forgiveness.  These are not progressive.  They disproportionately help middle class white people.

    He had a whole tax structure for it,  but regardless it's not progressive.  Buy contrast,  Warren's early child care and Bidens Title III education proposal were far more progressive and less socialist

    Debt forgiveness I do not understand.

    Free college tuition - didn't you already have that  decades ago in the states (?). I don't see any reason why you should have a paywall to help rich people get better education (but maybe there is one). If Sweden, and other countries, can have "free tuition" and no paywall to get into a College and University - then I vote PROGRESS on that one.

    Your distinction is moot. I'm not talking about your distinction.  

    Moving towards a European model of not paywalling people out of education in the Twilight Zone of America is PROGRESS.

    Also,  a paywall in the states is when you have to pay to access content in a website.  I don't understand how you are using it.
