Daughter-in-law of Bernie Sanders dies at age 46

She should have went down to Cuba because they cured cancer. Or at least that what the Democrats told us when trying to sell Socialized healthcare.

There are some types of cancers that they found a cure for - but there’s a Dr in Tx also found some cures - it’s complex issue but it’s sad and she passed. So what’s with the sarcasm ? Ugh

I’d like to see a link to that.

Of cancer.

I don't like when celebrities or politicians (one in the same) share their sob stories in public and spill their guts out for votes. I don't know how close Bernie was to his daughter-in-law but it must have hit his wife's family pretty hard.

Either way after having a heart attack its cheap politics to use this as a sympathy vote and I hope he doesn't do that. Bernie has had the quality of not playing the same political circus America worships as 'democracy; but hopeful Bernie breaks off from Market politics and keeps his mourning to himself.

What is your problem? She died, why would that fact even be considered political? Seriously, you people need to get a grip.

It's been a horrible past few weeks for Sanders and his family. I have sympathy for them. I hope they heal.She was younger than I am which is a sobering thought.

Bernie hasn't done anything yet. I just hope he doesn't campaign off of this for his political image like Biden did with his son pouring his guts out on Colbert.

I know Americans love it when celebrities and politicians spill the beans on their inside story but its just done as a marketing tactic to get Americans to ignore powerful institutions controlling their lives and tax dollars.

I hope Bernie keeps the mourning to himself and his family/doesn't make it public.

Well, he did win election to office by the people, something not all of today's politicians can claim.

Cold hearted Orb. I bet you would feel differently if Ivanka has passed and Trump outwardly mourned. You have no business dictating anyone's mourning. Now back into your black hole.

I'm on of the kindest people you will meet, and I'm no Trump supporter.

In fact if you read my posts you'd know the only democrat I'm seriously considering voting for is Bernie.

That being said mourning should not be deliberate. Its easy to create real emotions in a disingenuous way. Going out in public and deliberately putting yourself in a situation that makes you spill your guts out for the public is done for public sympathy.

That sort of social capital is used by politicians and celebrities to gain power and influence, usually in exchange for money.

Normal people do not go out in public and broadcast their suffering to a bunch of strangers. Now it could happen accidentally, but never deliberately.

The deliberate usage of personal lost is a marketing tactic made to sell politicians to the voting population. This form of 'democracy' is mainly a tool to get people to ignore institutions of power that control their lives.

Now Ivanka would be a different case. She is a young attractive public figure. Not only would it be surprising if she is lost to a medical condition given her healthy lifestyle and youth, she is also active figure in the public service and speaking openly about her would be expected.

Now I wouldn't want Trump falsely producing emotions at a deliberate time for sympathy, but she is a figure in his administration so talking openly about her would be fine.

Daughters, cousins, and distant relatives to politicians who are private figures should not be displayed for the media circus.
