I could not bring myself to vote for Trump or Hillary under any circumstances. There was a short period of time where I seriously considered Trump but that is long gone. If it was Trump against Sanders I guess I'd vote for Sanders, but I would be very sad to see this country move farther toward socialism. I have never liked Cruz. When he goes into that wispery inspirational voice of his it gives me the creeps. I would happily vote for Kasich over any of the other candidates.
So, if socialism is defined as public ownership of the means of production, how would Sanders move us in this direction? For example, free college education (which I think is a pipe dream) does not really apply here, does it? College is already heavily publicly subsidized; health care is a special case, in my opinion, and is publicly provided in all or nearly all other developed countries. I'm not aware that Sanders is calling for government take over of privately-owned firms. So, despite Sanders rhetoric about socialism, how is what he proposing moving the US closer to state ownership of the means of production?
I'm asking in serious; I don't know all the details of what Sanders is proposing.
