Mayor Blasio: Americans Are 'Not Hung Up' On Sanders' Democratic Socialist Label | MTP Daily | MSNBC
It’s now Bernie 2020!
@Pub Comrad
You must break the law to go to prison.
Most people outside of Trump’s flying monkeys know that the label “socialism” doesn’t get whipped out until there’s talk of the workers seizing the means of production. By the standards of western Europe, Bernie is a centrist or even a little right of center.
WRONG! WAKE UP.
@Robert Schneider
No, he’s a lying Communist.
You mean failed western Europe right ??? Name they’re success. ???
@SteelFisher that’s not true .. Jobs were sold out by politicians and anyone else China could buy or oat off .. People like Sanders and Bloomberg is famous for being a China SELLOUT … You will see the smoke when the air clears this time .. Bloomberg doesn’t even think chi χ is a dictator ???? REALLY ?? No dictator in China ???
Surely you joke mein failure @ poliso , Bernie an the demon rat party the party of SATAN , can be very dangerous ! The communist demon rats r hiding behind the progressive ,the name to cover up what they really r !! Socialist is the same thing communist , marxist there all alike anti GOD!
Bernie 2020
Trump 2020 for Prison.
THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
@Albert Green not NOT the same. You think Sweden is communist? Facepalm.
Angry Bushnell
Sweden is not communist. Sweden is socialist. Bernie Sanders wants communism. He does not want what Sweden has. Sweden doesn’t demonize the rich and promise to steal their money. Sweden taxes everyone hard. Sweden also doesn’t have people getting rich by being politicians.
Do you understand these massive differences?
@Albert Green Sweden is most definitely capitalist, wtf are you smoking ?
And Bernie does not want communism.
@Albert Green his policies have been stated in full for decades. You and others can distort them, but they are public record, and such inflammatory misrepresentations are easily dismissed.
Jesus, Chuck. WTF is wrong with you? When did Scandinavia’s governments become something to fear?
They don’t have the freedoms we as Americans enjoy.
@Spring Bloom I have been in the medical profession for 40 years, and unfortunately it is true. Sorry.
@Norma Ragland
Oh, of course you have, dear. Of you have.
@Albert Green Since 2008, Cornell University, INSEAD business school, and the World Intellectual Property Organization have released the annual Global Innovation Index.
It’s essentially a ranking of the most innovative countries in the world. https://www.inc.com/business-insider/most-innovative-countries-in-the-world-2017.html
1. Switzerland
2. Sweden (Well-designed universities and high-achieving graduates have kept Sweden in the top three for the last six years.),
3. Netherlands
4.US (The US held steady in its fourth-place ranking since 2016, most notably due to the strength of its global-facing markets, the value of its stock trades, and its widespread implementation of internet technology)
5. UK
6.Denmark
7. Singapore
8. Finland
9. Germany
10.Ireland
It seem like there is several countries with more than 10 million people on this list, but the reckless spending on military in US is of course a problem for every american.
It is a fact that many of the employees that work for big companies like Microsoft and at US medical companies have a non american citizenship. But is it not an ironi that the rest of the world outside of US pay less than americans for american inventions.
3 of the 5 northern countries are in the top 10. They most have done something right, right? Iceland is on on place 13 by the way.
Greetings from Sweden
@Spring Bloom Just look it up yourself, if you are capable of doing so. Take care!
Chuck Todd is obviously anti Sanders and has expressed this on many occasions. I’m not a huge Sanders supporter yet but I’m boycotting any Chuxk Todd programs. He sounds angry
All the more to support Sanders…any candidate the media hates means he is doing something right. I hate the mainstream media, pure propaganda, on both sides causing division, hate and anger as much as Trump. In as much as I detest Trump I hate mainstream more.

If you haven’t done it already you should, google what bernie ‘the man’ sanders has been doing for the working class for the decades.
Standing on the side of working people is not a “socialist” agenda.
– For example, Canada is a capitalist with a human face.
@Brian Richner my 401k is doing fantastic how’s yours doing?? oh wait they don’t offer one at Taco Bell where you work sorry
democratic socialism same term Lenin used to install Communism ….listen up chump and listen good….you have been trumped by Trump…2020 is in the bag ya Hag…adjust your man bun, put on you manpon and get back into the basement
Progressive , socialist ,communist All the same anti GOD , – demon rats !!! There all liers , nothing is free , they promise free stuff , that’s another lie !!!
It’s so obvious that MSNBC is trying to steer people away from Bernie. I think is having the opposite effect.
mbr2323 pure propaganda!
It absolutely is. I had been undecided up until recently. This isn’t the only thing making up my mind, but seeing the disingenuous mischaracterization of “scary socialism” day after day is sure helping.
They like corrupt trump, he is ratings gold for them
What’s the matter with Chuck Todd, his disdain for Bernie is unpalatable….disgraceful.
@looes74 looes74 More so his point I assume was that the media should not be biased and should try to be even for everyone rather than batting for the other side and slamming it down on the viewers throats.
@flowonthego rather folks like u should just focus on real objective. The only objective of this nov election is getting rid trump. Nothing more or less.
@myko freder S _ I : _LLY>>>>>>> –such garbage :
It’s Chuck Todd’s job to ask hard questions. He asks them of candidates on both sides of any issue. Whether the label “socialist” is acceptable esp to older voters is an important consideration in probability of success.
Soviet Sanders will never be president lol Trump 2Q4Q
Excuse me Chuck Todd, your bias is showing!
This host almost attack the guests or I’m crazy?
Why is Chuck so passionate against a candidate which the people in his party are choosing? He needs to show more decorum and journalistic impartiality
Demi chucks another corporate hack at MSDNC
Money.
Bernie has been averaging 26% on the primary/caucuses in the first two states. That means 74% of the people of his party are choosing someone else, rocket scientist.
I agree, but that goes for all news journalist. I mean its okay to express who you’re for but dont try and sway your audience away because of your personal beliefs
This chuck dude is a complete pile of💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Chuck needs to head over to FOX with all the other chicken littles crying about the sky falling
Chuck Todd’s personal bias is coming through loud and clear. His tone when he was asking questions was full of venom.
“Social democracy” is what describes Bernie Sanders agenda.
@Baxter Powel Socialism and Communism are the lies told by Fascist to obtain power.
Socialism and Communism don’t exist. Totalitarianism does Exist all around the world.
@Prisoner Zero Buy a brain FOOl you just prove once more how far STUPID you are!
psssss…!
I am officially over MSNBC….They are just as bad as FOX and CNN.
Such a glaring lack of objectivity in journalism anymore.
They don’t even try to hide it.
Chuck Todd is too compromised to be a news host.
Chuck Todd is a corporate bought and paid for twice hack.
New title: “Chuck Todd desperately pedals the establishment narrative while Mayor de Blasio effortlessly disarms him.”
