      Let me preemptively say that apples and oranges are two fruits of similar size, shape, price and nutritional value. Apples and oranges are above all COMPARABLE.https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/989632716499894272 …

      Take a look at what Finland, the happiest country in the world, is doing. If Finland can provide everyone with health care, send everyone to college for free and provide affordable child care, why can't the US? (featuring @anupartanen) pic.twitter.com/oWdI0AdgMk

      I've long held to this position that apples and oranges can in fact be compared.

          We in Jakarta sometimes call our city the Big Durian, comparing it to the Big Apple. Can we compare durians and apples? 🤔pic.twitter.com/eeZqo4t5Gb

          Do you believe small mainly homogenous countries can be meaningfully compared to countries with deep, ugly legacies of slavery/racism which cause millions of Americans to believe millions of other Americans are not truly 'American'?

          “Democracy has no content”. Right. Europe fought wars over “content” for 150 bloody years, which was one of the reasons liberalism was born. If you want content move to the Middle East.
