Bernie is a social democrat which means he still works within the confines of the capitalist system and is afraid of truly reforming it. Bernie would be center right in Europe, he's not even close to a real leftist. Left for America but not really left.

No he's a social democrat

Socialist lite. Still a socialist but to be honest he'd be a righty in EU. For America though, the term applies perfectly.

"Free" college and "free" healthcare, will throw the country into a high tax socialistic nightmare before you can say "It's not real socialism".
Oh, no! He's not proposing seizing the means of production, just tax them at 90%.

His honeymoon was in the Soviet Union.

He called himself a socialist when he was mayor and still does.

He joined the Young People's Socialist League (the youth affiliate of the Socialist Party of America) when he was in college.

The media friendly to him says he's a socialist:

And, what's more, the Socialism wiki says he's a socialist: socialism.wikia.com/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

The guy's a socialist, everyone who says otherwise either doesn't know socialism or is a liar, no exceptions.

nobody whose ideas start coming close to fruition or further examination gets to stay as a "real" leftist of any flavour, just like no system that enacts leftism of any flavour gets to remain being considered a viable or complete example

Bernie would be left in America, he's not even close to a real rightwinger. Right for Europe but not really right.

Socialism is a meme
