Comments by "SkyRiver" (@SkyRiver1) on "Chris Matthews Gets Awkward About Bernie Sanders" video.
What's the difference between socialism and democracy? Socialism is an economic system. Democracy is a system of government. These are two different categories of things. Something that Chris didn't seem to know. Socialism is the most popular economic system in Western countries like Canada (which experience no 2008 financial crisis) and Denmark (which has the highest level of happiness of all countries). Democracy is a theoretical political system that really doesn't exist on earth, and never has, unless you consider classical Athens in which the men who were not slaves or from some other place had it. In levels of democracy in the world the USA ranks 32nd. USA was never intended to be a democracy and never has been, if it was, Al Gore would have beaten Bush because he has 1.5 million more votes. If you haven't noticed: despite the fact that Bernie Sanders is getting record crowds even in red states, far more than anyone else, for all practical purposes he is being boycotted by all the news networks. I guess they know that their bottom lines depend on the ads, and Bernie isn't going to spend what the others are on ads.
