I'm really sorry, but GOP is not a monolith too. (Though I'm not a US citizen and haven't even been there.)

Say, plenty of people calling themselves libertarian (but in fact being mundane classic liberals) vote for it, judging by those interwebs. =\

Bernie is in some things really a communist (I'm not saying he's a bolshevik FFS). In some other things I wouldn't even say he's a leftist, though.

Some of his positions are amazingly sane, and some would mean an economical burden that could become catastrophic in 10 years.
