It’s interesting to endorse a climate change denier while sitting on the board of Tesla... Larry Ellison extracting money from environmentalists and donating it to Donald Trump.. https://ir.tesla.com/board-directors/larry-ellison

Tech or any other minded people should use their own brain to make a decision. btw. voting for 'democrat' in US nowadays means voting for socialism. One can certainly do that, but one may want to read a book or two to learn what socialism is.
Don’t confuse socialism as practiced in the USSR and its satellites with the “democratic socialism” practiced in Scandinavia, just because they have some of the same words in their name.

There are plenty of successful European countries with higher taxes than us and much better social safety nets. Crazy countries where bankruptcy isn't one car accident away. But it is this way in the US: "if you get sick or hurt in say a car crash and can't work for a year or two you'll be bankrupt" and maybe dead when your healthcare runs out from your leaving your job. That doesn't make sense.

what exactly make you think american 'socialism' takes scandinalian form? who is going to drive that change? current 'democrat' leadership is disgusting, brainless, corrupted, to say the least, and they aren't going anywhere unless true liberals (in its original meaning) get rid of them first.

Bernie Sanders has advocated for close to 100% taxes for top brackets in the past. None of the Bernie Bros on this site either want to believe it or to admit it. The shitty behavior of the Democrats and the push to full blown Socialism has pretty much forced me, my family, and all of my friends to vote Trump in 2020.
You'd only see tax increases if you make more than $32 million per year. I'd imagine that none of you, your family, or your friends have been "forced" to vote Trump in 2020 - you're just afraid to admit you support him, and are trying to pin the blame on Bernie.

I'm not 'afraid' of anything. Bernie couldn't even admit how much is programs cost (or didn't know). I would gladly vote for a more moderate Democrat.

Would you rather have hundreds of billions of dollars going into the military-industrial complex than going to healthcare and education? You didn't bring up any concerns about how Trump would pay for his military budget. Bernie has already laid out his plan for an extreme wealth tax, which would raise $4 trillion over the next decade, more than enough to pay for his proposals (and wouldn't raise taxes on anyone with…
The extreme wealth tax, will only push extremely wealthy people out of the US and the middle class will suffer once again.
I also don't believe the tax increases only on millionaires and the total you are showing for healthcare is much less than half of what's actually projected.
Bernie already said that most people will be getting tax increases.
He's also taxing Wallstreet, which will only reduce the 401ks and retirement funds of the middle class.
Economic destruction, so everyone is on a shittier playing field is his end goal and really the only end result of extreme Socialist policies.
