I suppose the idea is that while the democrats alone are merely considering such ideas as universal healthcare, free college, and other such ideas... in other countries (again, probably the European ones... my guess is the Scandinavian countires) these are already in place and have been for a while. hence why the Democratic Party in the US is seen as conservative elsewhere.

It's in place in most european countries, just in different forms.
