I attempted a translation of this for an acquaintance from Venezuela. I wish I could render his response here, but the filters would just turn it into a mass of asterisks.

Neither, both will be used to mop the White House floor by Trump. 
I would rather see a civil war than see them win!

In defining what democratic socialism means to him, Sanders said: "I don’t believe government should take over the grocery store down the street or own the means of production, but I do believe that the middle class and the working families who produce the wealth of America deserve a decent standard of living and that their incomes should go up, not down. I do believe in private companies that thrive and invest and grow in America, companies that create jobs here, rather than companies that are shutting down in America and increasing their profits by exploiting low-wage labor abroad.”
Bernie Sanders is not Hugo Chavez, even less so Lenin, Stalin or Mao. Part of what is considered socialism today have proved a efficient system providing never before seen prosperity in the United-State during the 50s and the 60s with a tax rate of 90% for the wealthiest. The personal freedom was not so good, by it had nothing to do with economy. Supply-side economy however didn't proved to work well after, so far, about 35 years.
