"Developed" countries is a racist phrase that splits the world into an arbitrary dichotomy and implies that

A) there is an end-point to civilizations and

B) the "other" (developing) countries are objectively worth less than the developed countries.

one of bernies main policies goals universal Healthcare

Certainly his most popular one but far from the only one.

See also:

cannabis and other drug legalization

free 4 year tuition

afforsable housing reform (this should be a big one for you in Canada)

UBI

100% Renewable energy

free childcare

abolish ICE and reform America's immigration policies to welcome immigrants

Most of these policies would place Bernie Sanders as a far left Democrat across the Western world

    It has nothing to do with race. There are hundreds of other countries in the world, comprised of varied races, and thousands of ethnicities within those countries. If it's anything it would be nationalistic, ethnocentric, or economic elitism.

    I support 'afforsable' housing reform, I actually dedicate a lot of my time to that.

    Between that and helping send supplies to Ukraine it take most of my available time and disposable income.

    Would you classify me as far-right?

    Why would I classify you as far right? I'm saying that Bernie Sanders is definitely extreme far left globally and certainly not just "center left" when compared to plenty of other western leaders

    Ah, sorry I meant far-left, whatever that is.

    I still disagree he would be any further then centre left.

    He supports practices that are farther left than all of the EU.

    The EU isn’t too far left.

    Are you American, if you don’t mind me asking?

    Ok, at least I can tell you're trolling now considering you're now contradicting yourself.

    I’m not, if you’re following this conversation.

    Why do you think I am?

    Do you think Canada is the bastion of left politics?

    he'd be centre left anywhere else

    the EU isn't too far left

    Where exactly is this "anywhere else" that Bernie Sanders wouldn't be considered far left for such a major politicial figure? Be very specific about where you're referring to.

    I don't think you understand American politics if you don't know that senators have loads of political power. Having someone as left leaning as Bernie Sanders in such a high office is definitely not something that the rest of the world can claim.

    Bernie has one vote of a hundred, right?

    All I’m saying is the US is very right.

    Biden is further right then Canada’s conservatives and Americans still call him a commie.

    Haha, throwing rocks at typing mistakes is fun.

    Between that and helping send supplies to Ukraine it take most of my available time

    'take' vs 'takes' ooof, you're in a glass house and throwing rocks. You know what they say about that.

    Most of the world, is not progressive. You did back pedal to only 'developed' worlds as if theyre the only ones that matter, but it doesn't correct your initial claim. And then to simply fall to ad hominem against the other commenter is just silly.

    You should have just stopped responding after your mistake was pointed out. Or took the high road and admitted the mistake.
