    I’d argue Bernie is slightly right of center, even. He isn’t advocating for Socialization of the economy, just an expansion of the safety nets.

      I’m sorry but saying Bernie is “right of center” is absurd. Even in most Western European nation that have a “further left center” he’d fit right in at the very least as left/center left.

        This is what I have seen when I look up where different politicians are on the four way political chart… Bernie is left of center, and he has some basic ideas that would benefit everyone at the same time…. Alas

      Nah man. Left of center is not that at all. United States citizens are pretty left wing when it comes to policy when you take away language of dems and cons.

      Left of center basically means any candidate where the democrats are saying, yea but if you vote for the other guy it will be ten times worse. So, Biden and every democrat candidate for 40 years

      I edited to say left not right lol

          You believe slightly left of center is socialism? How does it feel to be so damn clueless?

            The center would be a 50/50 mix of Worker owned industry and Capitalist owned industry, like a form of extremely socialized Social Democracy. To the left of that, you have a majority Socialist economy, to the right of that you have a majority Capitalist economy.

            Simple as.
