Those aren't really explicitly or even implicitly about personal freedoms or even economic freedoms though, are they? No offense, but looking at your stated criteria and the examples, there seems to be some disconnect. If I think about "legalizing things between consenting adults" the first things that spring to mind are human rights, specifically for sexual minorities. When I think about the economic side of this, the first things would be consumer protections. Maybe I just see things differently, but I wouldn't think my perception here is unique or unorthodox.
    You're not crazy. I thought the same thing. Then when wuf countered that increasing rights for sexual minorities was somehow decreasing the freedom of consenting adults, I just tapped out.

    Could you provide an example of one of these Bernie policies that make consent legal?

    Not granting those rights is persecution.

    Granting those rights is making their consenting conduct legal.
