Editor,
I am responding to the letter, “Copy and Paste: Bias, Ignorance, Hypocrisy” by Michael Oberg. Everything you say is true, however, Trump never campaigned on a socialistic platform as Bernie does. Bernie wants you to do as he says, not as he does ... see the difference? Isn’t it only hypocrisy if you don’t practice what you preach?

What on flat Earth do you mean by Bernie not practicing what he preaches? What do you mean Bernie should do? Sell his homes or give away what he has worked hard to get? Why?
That’s not at all what the more progressives mean by “socialized capitalism”, or “democratic socialism”, if you prefer. Look at the more socialized countries of Scandinavia. Do you think people are giving away their businesses, homes, mountain and coastal cabins, and to whom? Not at all! Yet, the entire societies are more “socialized” in that people in general are being taken better care of, both in terms of higher education and universal health and family care available for all, with the sick and elderly better protected, with the higher earners being OK with somewhat higher taxes. Get it now? You owe Bernie an apology!
What about China, number two in the world and at this rate may soon be number one.
Excuse me but socialism is the only thing that is going to get us through the coronavirus catastrophe.
