Vermont Senator and potential 2020 Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders vowed to “do a better job of explaining socialism” to American voters Monday; doubling-down on his calls for a “political revolution” in the United States.
Sanders made the pledge during a recent interview with New Hampshire Public Radio; saying his “right-wing colleagues” are attempting to compare his political ideology with the current humanitarian and political disaster in Venezuela.
“I think what we have to do, and I will be doing it, is to do a better job maybe in explaining what we mean by socialism — democratic socialism. Obviously, my right-wing colleagues here want to paint that as authoritarianism and communism and Venezuela, and that’s nonsense,” said Sanders.
“What it means is that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world we can provide a decent standard of living for all of our people. That’s just the reality. That’s not Utopian dreaming; that is a reality. Health care for all can be done and we can save money in doing it,” he added.
