Unless you think jailing minorities for profit is a good idea "because capitalism". There are some good ideas in his platform, implementation of those ideas is a different story.

Not to mention the nearly $649,000,000,000 in military spending that is conveniently ignored. Somehow that's accepted, but the idea of helping people with medical and education, which would only make things better is somehow communist? 25 minutes ago, Warhippy said: I want Bernie to win, I want the pendulum to swing wildly in the other direction in America. After the swinging has stopped it will land somewhere closer to centre again as it should. Same. The US has had it's swing to the right, under a megalomaniac bent on using the office to enrich himself. Time for a shift. 25 minutes ago, Warhippy said: But man oh man are people falling all over themselves to make Sanders out to be some sort of freaking commie loving fascist admiring thot as though the guy currently in power ISN'T some sort of Russian asset himself Exactly. And how CNN has gone after him lately is pathetic. They are seemingly aping that idiot Clinton's warped opinion. So many people in the US are so gullible and easily distracted.

CBH1926 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Some might feel that i was hard on the Beaver.....i mean Bernie I am offering my endorsement of BS as the president of U.S bank. That way he can pay of my mortgage with them as well as credit card debt. If he pays me my college debt retroactively, I will get feel the Bern tatoo on my ass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about things on a policy level here, not a radical shift in how the US is run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie's the only one that can get the vast majority of U35 voters. That group is now bigger than the boomers. Bernie with the correct running mate is the dem's best shot imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have gun regulations. Or universal healthcare. Or gay marriage. Not to mention the whole reason the US took such a commanding lead had a lot to do with every other country being decimated by WWII. The US won by default, but its people think they're the greatest nation on earth, in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US wants people to believe it, hence the rampant, steady jingoism prevalent in that country. It's an empire, that is going into decline, bent on world domination, addicted to debt and hypocrisy. There are a lot of great people living there, and some beautiful places to visit. It's just that the government is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A despotic regime dressed up like a democracy designed to dupe it's own people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe in him because he's always been consistent, always for the people. Warren's fake homely projections cover up the fact that she's just another shill for the DNC, who actually was a Republican up until she was 47. His ideal running mate is Tulsi Gabbard.

This is one of the statements Americans make that always irks me....(along with calling their President "The leader of the free world") "The greatest country on earth" does not put refugee children in cages as a deterrent, it does not experience a mass shooting at an average of once per day, it does not run a "for profit" prison system (or healthcare system, for that matter) and it certainly doesn't believe that it's head of state is above the law....

Bernie's the only one with true momentum potential. Biden is the so-called "safe" choice that older democrats want to feel safe with and beat Trump, but you can't have both. Pick one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) What has Sanders done in his long political career to actually help people of this country, from legislative point of view? What positive change he brought on large scale? Lip service, oposing this and that, protesting, filibustering etc. doesn't count. Couldn't even get medicaid for all passed in Vermont.

His voting record on major issues is out there. His movements and campaigning are public knowledge. People state he has been on the right side of history more often than not. It might be worth looking in to it yourself instead of just asking people to tell you. For the record though, many people refuse to look once their minds are made up. Your statements kind of suggest not much will change your stance so I have opted to add some link regarding his position and voting history https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/27110/bernie-sanders/?p=1 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/bernard_sanders/400357 https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/S000033-bernard-sanders/compare-votes/115 https://www.congress.gov/member/bernard-sanders/S000033?q={"bill-status":"law"}&searchResultViewType=expanded&KWICView=false 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
