Pretty much a lifelong conservative, I’d vote for Bernie over Trump. Understanding that the president cannot implement socialism. That would be more relevant to the legislature.
Also Trump is further to the left economically than Clinton....
The OP, like most trumpsters and Comrade Trump, try to paint socialism as a bad thing. The US has many programs that are defined as socialism and work very well for the masses. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are only a few. If you play into that capitalism boloney you are buying the bullcrap of the top 1% who want to keep you in the dark and being ripped off. These elitists are also paying a boatload of trolls to push their agenda, people and the false notion that socialism is communism. We now have a corporate run government whose only concern for the people of the US is to be used as debt slaves. Isn't post due that all the people of the United States should run the United States?
The only answer that serves everyone is democratic socialism.
You need a certain amount of water to survive.
But if you have too much water, you die.
It's the same with our system of government.
We just don't trust Bernie and his ilk not to open up the flood gates.

The bolded is true when it comes to Trade for sure.
The question in the title is pretty straight forward.
If you're someone who can't stand Trump and believe anyone would be a better alternative than him, if the choice come 2020 is between someone like Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump, who would you vote for and why?
The reason I ask this question because there's already been at least one mainstream talking head (Joe Scarborough) who admitted that he would vote for Trump if Bernie Sanders were the Democratic nominee, despite how much he loathes him and rails against him on his show. So I imagine he's not alone in feeling that way.
Do you people not know that socialism is just a modern form of slavery?
Not one single socialist policy can be implemented without slaughtering or threatening to slaughter a lot of people.

This is an absurd poll, with a fake dichotomy. Luckily, Bernie Sanders has taken the curse off the word "socialism" - and I certainly know many people, including Republicans, who ignorantly rant against socialism, but would never dream of voting to eliminate their Medicare or Social Security benefits.
It's not a matter of Trump vs. Socialism. It's a matter of Trump vs. the rule of law. Trump vs. sanity/civility. Trump vs. a push for trustworthy elections. Trump vs. women's right to make decisions about their own bodies.
By the way, when was that example of Scarborough - now, or three years ago?
I didn't vote for Bernie - not because of the "socialism," but because I felt that he was unrealistic in his ideas and lacked the capacity for compromise, which is essential to workable politics.
