Because on his own websiteBernie Sanders is singing Venezuela's fucking praises.

These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?


...and abolish the minimum wage!

...and repeal all campaign finance laws!

...and repeal social security!

Oh wait. No. That's just his website quoting from the 1980 Libertarian party platform when David Koch was their VP.

Just like your smoking gun was a reposted article from Valley News in 2011.

And if you actually read that article you're throwing in my face, you'd realize the context isn't, "Comrades! Let me sing the praises of Marxist-Leninist utopia Venezuela!" but actually, "income inequality is getting so bad in America that we've got less social mobility than fucking Venezuela, fer chrissake!"

Maybe if you Libertarians would take the time to research the complexities of the issues beyond a "Socialism Sucks!" bumper sticker, you'd have fewer embarrassing #aleppomoments.
