There is NOTHING wrong with big banks. When they're bigger, they're more secure.
The biggest banks were pivotal in cleaning up the 07/08 financial disaster and without them, it would have been much worse. They toxically absorbed a bunch of the commercial banks that caused the disaster and fixed them. They have the capital to absorb these losses.
it's also only slightly idealistic to think the nordic take on socialism would work as perfectly and fluently as it does in europe but it's far more idiotic to say "well this wouldn't work because we aren't them"

The also hugely concerning thing is that you can fit 1 million denmarks in the united states so the population difference is astounding
There's no guarantee that it would even come close to working, and I don't agree with some/most of bernie's tax plans to get there
What the frick are you even talking about, Norway already was more or less the same before nordic ''socialism'', that would never work in America

If you understood what socialism is and understood that Bernie Sanders platform is Nordic Model Capitalism, you wouldn't be worried about the ghastly history of "socialism".
Next are you going to try to argue the the na.zis were socialist? Do you have any other facebook meme arguments from The Comical Conservative that you would like to share?

Norway is ranked 16 on the happiest countries list
And also has 5 million people which already were more or less in the same situation and is sitting on oil, norway could have a despotic monarchy and woulo probably be the same
Gary Kasparov, the chess genius, said that to him, it was ironic that Bernie supporters would call the glories of socialism, when he and his family suffered through it in East Germany.
