Let's not compare U.S. to Denmark

The far left including one Bernie Sanders loves to express his desires for a government much like Denmark and other European countries.

One thing about the left I have noticed, many I would say most reside in urban areas of the U.S. and many have no idea what this country is from east to west, or at the least, don't care much.

That's why they call the Midwest fly over country, like we don't have much value as a whole to the them. Well the government the left loves to idolize seems to be Denmark, and Sweden but lets throw another one in, say Norway, the left loves these northern European countries to compare.

Well, all three of those countries combined have a population less than just the State of New York, not to mention little geographical and social variations across the country, nor do they have the kind of diversity across their nations.

The combined populations of all three is roughly 17 million plus, New York is 19 million, so how can you honestly try and compare a country of 320 million to these nations, and claim what works there would work here? We have far more diverse areas of the country than they do, much more people and much more diverse opinions and viewpoints. The left seems to expect everyone from the urban teacher to the western rancher to have to same views. If not they try and destroy you.

So I don't want to hear how great Denmark is because it doesn't compare to one of the largest most diverse nations on Earth. Like comparing an ant to an elephant.
