Let's put this in perspective. Here's what then President Obama told a group of young people in Argentina in 2016. They shouldn't worry about the differences between capitalism and communism and “just choose from what works.
It's always been my view no single country has all the answerers for everything. If some country hit on something that works why not take a look at it. There should be little doubt our own form of government had at least a partial element based on the ROMAN REPUBLIC. Our legal system is somewhat rooted in the English common law to mention only two. Any country that remains static and fixed in their ways refusing to even consider other ideas (irregardless the source) is one who shall make little progress.
This was the message of Obama and now Bernie. Have we now become so divided we refuse to even listen to other ideas? Had our founders been so stubbornly entrenched in their differences would we even have a country to argue over?
Forget Republicans/Democrats. Forget who said it. Forget about what government came up with a better idea. We should never reject new ideas without due consideration no matter who or where they came from.
