  1. He is a radical leftist. I am speaking this in a country with what is normally considered universal healthcare. His ideas go way beyond what exists in Australia. His idea on pretty much an open border is radical left, by Australian standards Trump is to the left on this issue. If it was the Australian government and now even our left wing party the military would be put on the border to stop all unauthorised arrivals until the problem is fixed. When looking into the disfunction of your federation especially the way states decide who votes and receive welfare etc. I would totally agree with him. But the elephant in the room is your system is like having an elected king, who is largely unaccountable and selects the entire ministry at will ( you call them secretaries of this and that) unelected ministers seems crazy to an outsider. Bernie isn't for fundamental change of the federation which is what is required first to achieve more even outcomes throughout the country. The response to COVI Sars2 laid bare the disfunction in coordination and complete failures on both the state and federal levels by both political parties. Maybe it'll make no difference in the long run but I prefer to be in a country where 5 infections is considered an outbreak rather than 5,000. The duopoly on power due to your voting and registration requirements should be removed so Bernie for arguments sake could be in Congress as member of the Greens where I would suggest he belongs with AOC. Having a strict 2 party system means radicals are in the Democrat and Republican parties .
