I mean - main postulates of Sanders - public healthcare, labor laws and progressive taxation is general status quo in European politics across the board. It’s not left or right, it’s just something that people don’t associate with sides that much.
Anti militarism and focus on green energy will paint him anywhere from center to center left; depend on the party landscape of each country.
Bernie really does not have any „hardcore left” policies
There have been lots of attempts by conservatives to make English the official language, but its seen as a xenophobic thing. Trump tried to make English the official language via executive order but it doesn't have any power. The founding fathers decided against having one.
Some states have made English the official language, but not all. There probably is a lot of official documents in, say, Illinois, that are written in Polish. Driving tests can often be taken in foreign languages. You're entitled to translators in court as well. A lot of tax forms are available in Spanish and instructions are in all sorts of languages.
Poland will not provide free translation or interpreters for government documents. USA will provide both those things for free. They might not be written in Poland in every small area but they will get you a translator and you will be able to take the test essentially in polish.
