Bernie Sanders is a mainstream New Deal Democrat like FDR. Call social security and Medicare "socialist" all you want, Sanders would fit right into conservative political parties in Canada or Europe.

That youtuber sounds clinically insane. Why should we take anything he says seriously? What specifically is the issue here? Some "small business owner" who blames his incompetence on unnamed "regulations" from Obama?

I wish I had known a little more about Sanders during the election. From what I have seen of him lately, the man is intelligent, articulate, and cares about America deeply. He is head and shoulders above what we currently have sitting in the oval office in every respect.

His position on the issues are completely mainstream. Expand social security by lifting the cap, Medicare-for-all, banning private prisons, getting big money out of politics, raising the minimum wage, employers required to provide 2 weeks paid vacation and paid family and medical leave for their workers, renegotiating anti-worker trade deals, breaking up the big banks etc. Its all supported by the majority.

He is totally in line with FDR New Deal Democrats and isnt funded by the big money donors and special interests, so he is not controlled, and that is why he is so despised by the ruling class.

Sanders is a new deal mainstream democrat. Some places, he would be conservative.
You need to get out more.

Read up on my hero, Barry Goldwater. He said any business polluting air and water should be shut down.

What turnip truck did you recently fall from?

Bernie always said going in he would support the nominee of the Democratic Party. He stabbed no one.

Things might be different if the (D)'s weren't so insistent on pushing such a lousy candidate on us.
