I'd vote for Sanders, but reluctantly. Never vote for T though.

I can't imagine ever voting for either.... but our friends on the left are doing all in their power to make me go back on saying "never"

Bloomberg is about to spend 10s of millions to release an onslaught of material on sanders in multi-media outlets to show why bernie is "radical".

there is massive information and tapes of sanders supporting murderous dictators and communist leaders over the decades. the media hasn't shown Bernie's political past nor have the democratic candidates. I think many, many americans will be shocked by these revelations.

I have worked closely with hundreds upon hundreds of young women (poor to lower middle class) over the last 20 years. If not a thousand. Some have had abortions. Most have had childcare issues of one kind or another. Many have tried to return to school or work after having children. Some are considering children.
I have gotten to know them as well as any one else in their lives knows them....their thinking, aspirations and obstacles.


I am going to be generous and say that free child care could potentially enter into an abortion-related decision for 2% of them. More likely 1%.

You do not know what you are talking about.

This would be true on any planet

No, we realize something that all adults should have long ago learned .... there is no such thing as “free”. No free healthcare, no free child care, no free lunch. Someone has to pay. Right wing folks tend to look deeper at issues, analyzing the long term, unintended consequences of actions like free everything promises, compared to lefties who seem to look at the surface level, and accept at face value, the promises and benefits of free stuff.

So no, we don’t buy the free stuff ..... its a bait and switch for becoming a government slave

"Fidel Castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps, religious repression, widespread poverty, firing squads, and the murder of thousands of his own people.

But sure, Bernie, let’s talk about his literacy program."


Mike's bringing the heat to the BERN.

This should be easy to answer. Bernie is a self-described socialist. He's not a social democrat as in Scandinavia or Canada. He's a full-blown, persuaded socialist, just going by his quotes, associations, and self-description. Socialism=gov't ownership of the means of production. That is what they have in Cuba and Venezuela, not Sweden and Canada.

Even Elizabeth Warren put herself to the right of Bernie by saying that she was NOT a socialist. When you're to the left of Warren (D,MA) you are far left.
