At 78 years of age, plus the DNC rigging elections against him. ( they'll do the same thing to Yang while stuffing Biden and Warren down your throat ) Bernie Sanders doesn't have a shot at becoming POTUS in that lifetime.
As for Socialism, there is a lot of that going on in the US which is how American environments have infrastructure, and why it's citizens pay taxes. On the most part it's nothing more than shared contributions while people carry on pulling their weight, while the government allocates the proceedings to suit economic needs.
Socialized healthcare is fantastic. I think something is wrong with US tax pricing as it's higher than Canada's taxes while we enjoy paid for surgeries and other medical goodies. Canadians never even heard of co-pay, and we see how American's fear getting ill as it can bring down the whole nest due to the cost of healthcare.

On Topic, Trump is impeached. This means his powers will be revoked, and now it's out of the House's hands and it'll be up to the Senate to remove him.
The Senate is dominated by Republicans who 100% oppose Impeachment.
This can turn into a Supreme Court case. I think we'll see things happen very quickly.
For now Mike Pence will hold office, while Nancy Pelosi lol will act as second in command.
If you ask me, this was the Democrat's Kamikazi move. They are so unpopular right now as they insist they are defending democracy, which is the opposite of what they are doing.
Yes there are aspects of social welfare systems in the US. I'm fine with that but I do have a problem with the pure socialism that Sanders so loves.
I'm not even talking about social assistance. Your roads and streets, the utilities for water and electricity, public parks, Fireman, Police. Anything the government spends your money on.
Socialized healthcare is a joke, dont even get me started on that, start a thread about it if you want to discuss. I know your country has socialized healthcare and I'm sure youre weeell aware of its inefficiencies:
"Patients in Canada waited an average of 19.8 weeks to receive treatment, regardless of whether they were able to see a specialist or not."
-information confirmed by Fraser Institute
In fact, I hear that most doctors in Canada from the free healthcare system will tell you to find a PRIVATE doctor so you don't have to wait 19 weeks to receive medical treatment. Funny how that is!
I've always had a family doctor and when I want to see him I will call the very morning to get booked usually the same day. He's also the newer one. The guy that took over that place, my last doctor got charged with sexual harassment and vanished. If I need a referral, I go in chat with the doctor, he check the ears and all that and asks me why I want or need a referral then he writes one. ( Asked him to prescribe me medical cannabis once but he refused )
I've been to walk-in clinics before too, all in the same day. Just need to show health card. All medical records are then available to the doctor.
As for the wait times, there are such cases in the US too, sometimes people waiting up to 6 months. But 20 days average I've read. Meanwhile most of you never seen it take forever.
I personally never had to wait several days or weeks. I had a gallstone attack, went to the hospital, and I honestly couldn't tell you if I waited 3 or 6 hours I was in a lot of pain, but once the wait was over, they put in iv in my hand, pain melted away, and a few hours later I was scanned and they found a 1mm stone in my bladder. I would say 10 hours in total.
If it's really serious or it cannot be done in Canada, Canada will fly us anywhere in the world to have it done.
Last time I went for an ear infection and I was out in 4 hours, and the time before I arrived in an ambulance and got immediate service. I was out the same night.
Canadians also have longer lifespans.

Trump is still the president, he is not impeached. He hasn't had any presidential powers removed due to the house approving both articles of impeachment. We all know that the senate will overturn the articles of impeachment because a) the senate is majority republican and b) there is no evidence of illegal activity.
That's what I'm saying, except he is impeached not expelled nor will he fall from this.
Mike Pence is not holding office and Nancy Pelosi is not acting as second in command, again because the articles of impeachment have not passed through the house yet.
You mean the Senate.
