Bernie Sanders

I am just watching this interview.

There is one smart American out there who cares for the people. 

And then America ends up with the bad alternatives Trump and Harris.

What a sad country! 

 

P.S.: Obviously that is not the first I heard of Bernie Sanders. This interview is a strong reminder of the situation.

I would vote for Bernie before I would vote for Harris, but too far left for me. 

 

It seems to me he is a decent guy. That makes him already a very good choice compared to anybody else.

I had started a thread about Bernie a while ago.

Didnt get too many replies.

 

Noam Chomsky said he has the best policies.

 

Yes, he cares about the people TOO MUCH. That's why the elites 1% club who runs the country won't allow him to get elected. They just dangle him in people's faces.

 

But most people are so brainwashed by fake politicians that they are unable to perceived Bernie's value, as evidenced by the previous poster's comment.

 

People wouldnt be able to recognize a good political candidate if you put a shotgun to their heads.

Democrat voters loved Bernie and supported him throughout the Democrat primaries in 2016. The party decided that they didn't want Bernie, so they bought him off and inserted Hillary. I even know some moderate Republicans who liked what Bernie had to say.

 

All of this was when Democrats were still trying to hide their socialist/Marxist/communist agenda.

No. Bernie is a socialist, and not very bright. 

 

I think Trump is the better choice or Harris and Bernie. 

 

I understand you wanting open borders see it differently. 

Exactly, your comment is pointless. Another anti-Harris zinger. You will always vote for the GOP candidate, regardless. Even if there were some policy points of Bernie you could agree with, in our binary choice system I can understand that.

And your lack of a point is clear, another anti-Trump rant, 

 

No, I would not, and have not always voted for the GOP candidate, but you will always vote for the furthest left open border socialist on the ticket, yes? 

 

What is a policy point of Bernie's I might agree with? He's an open border, anti-business, anti-Israel, pro-welfare state leftist. 

 

Those are all things you like, and reasons you support him, except maybe Israel. I don't know your position on Israel, but I would guess you side with Bernie. 

 

I am not against Harris, and I do not think she's stupid, I do not like her open border, pro DEI, anti-meritocracy, divisive polices. You do, I get it.

The U.S. can elect a fascist but not a socialist. That's just the way it is. Bernie could have had a shot if he hadn't labelled himself that way. He is indeed a decent man.

 

Reminds me of a review I recently read of a new movie. The review was favorable but mentioned that it's title makes it almost unmarketable -- My Old Ass. (What were they thinking?)

It's interesting reading all the comments here.

Bernie, according to Bernie, has lots of politics which many ordinary Americans support with majority.

Health care for all (a lot cheaper than now), higher minimum wages, etc.

And he, and his supporters, don't want to support a system where the 3 richest American people (3 people, not 3%) own more than the poorest half of American people.

Are these ideas really too socialist for you all? Do you prefer a bad and expensive health system where the pharma companies and insurance companies make all the money? Do you prefer low minimum wages where people have problem to survive? And do you think Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates should own more than about 170,000,000 people together?

people have been brainwashed that "socialism" is a bad word. 

 

it's not either/or anyway. socialism is mixed with capitalism. 

 

Trump owns half of new york and most people can't afford to live there anymore and yet people idolize him.

Indeed, definitely Americans have. 

Look Bernie is past presidential age by now.

He's done great service in the senate as a different voice caucusing with democrats, but that's the limit.

As far as his chance to be nominated by the democrats in the past. rather ballsy of him to try to do that while actually NOT being a democrat.

Fascism and socialism are the same.

It's bad enough that you don't know what you are writing about.

But why show everybody how ignorant you are?

Maybe just look it up in a private moment where you don't feel too embarrassed when you learn those words.
