    While what the far left want is to “get everyone’s basic needs met”, what they tend to end up doing is exterminate entire social groups because they are impure… So really they are the same, just different roads to the same hell.

      Can you explain to me how single-payer healthcare leads to exterminating social groups?

      Like I understand there’s some wacky left people out there just like there’s some wacky right people out there. But like what has Bernie Sanders done to spook y’all?

        Not the OC, but I think it’s a difference in definition. The U.S. thinks that things like single-payer health care are “far left,” while in the rest of the world, that’s a centrist policy. Bernie Sanders is a centrist; the Democratic Party is center-right. The far left is utterly unimaginable for Americans.
