Bernie is honest and actually a good man who stands up for his principles. That being said he believes more government is the only way to go and that is why I can never support him. When you have a bunch of crooked dysfunctional people as the base of your system, adding more layers and power will only grow the same smelly **** and there is no way Bernie could control it.
Also goshin is an idiot. A wanna be hipster who like a lot of leftists whine about Bush then support Obama who keeps the bad laws like Patriot Act alive if not progressing it. Obama is leaving office with US in a very bad spot and Bernie would make it even worse.
I still dont understand why the media and Bernie himself claim he is a socialist. Not once have i heard him say anything about creating a central planning dept and the removal of all property rights and control over the means of production throughout this once great nation.
****ing guy is a fraud, preying on the retarded younger generation.
Pretty sure he classifies himself as a democratic socialist and associates himself with FDR.
When I take the survey at isidewith.com, it says that I should vote for Bernie (followed by Rand and Hillary)
I really didn't expect this, because my answers were along the lines of: I want as many rights as possible; Leave me alone; Don't give out free stuff; Don't do illegal immigrants any favors.
Since being left alone and having as many rights as possible are my top priorities, then I guess I'm voting for Bernie.
You cant have it both ways.
The more massive the gvt, the less power you as an individual have.
Socialism / Communism doesnt believe in individual Rights. Left wing ideology is also the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century.
I don't think the free college and health care are such a big deal. Insurance companies are scummy and tuition rates are exploding. How much does the average soldier cost? $800,000 a year for deployment + G.I college, + free healthcare, + pension, etc. I cite the military as the massive inflamed haemorrhoid on the ass of the American economy.
The right to the pursuit of happiness also entails being healthy, correct? Most bankruptcies occur because of medical bills. Getting rid of that burden frees the average citizen to move freely between careers and allows businesses to focus on creating their product instead of filing insurance forms.
It'd be nice to have a problem, go to the hospital, pay the co-payment, and get the problem solved.
A little state planning and assistance might go a long way to improving the health of the average citizen and allow them to be more economically productive. Healthy educated adults might actually be good for the economy, y'know?
Besides the free college/healthcare counterpoints what are the other sticking issues with Bernie? Busting up the big banks? Reducing the war on drugs?
The man's not a communist that's going to force massive population relocations - o wait, that's Trump.
It looks to me like out of the **** selection of candidates this year,
GOP is either Trump or Cruz
DNP is either Hillary or Sanders
I'd love to see Rand Paul take the nomination and actually support state power in managing their own affairs and leave the federal government to deal with international issues alone - but that **** ain't gonna happen.
Ideally, each state is in charge of its own internal affairs and is free to pursue a liberal or conservative strategy in terms of healthcare or education - and if you don't like your states' management - move to a different one.
The federal government is ****ed up in the way that its policies are one-size-fits all but whatever, I'll take a consistent politician over a ragging ***** or a fake evangelical or a self important cult persona.

Literally turning the US into the North American version of the EU with the migrant crisis...
Provide amnesty for the 11million illegal overstays/border-hoppers and get them on a track for becoming voting democrats citizens which is essentially bribing them... This sends a message to every single mexican that they need to hop that border before this law/idea is put into effect... Then look at that we have a Mexican migrant crisis!!!! its not like we had thousands of abandoned unaccompanied children ending up on our border headed for the US because King Obama said they'd not be deported.... wait.... http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/13/us/imm...ren-explainer/
Not only give those 11million illegals citizenship but importing "families" of those border hoppers/illegal overstays
refusing to deport and going further with Executive actions regarding Illegals much like Obama's executive orders he's issued and are being contested at the highest court atm...
Closing the "gunshow loop hole" aka banning private sales because the government NEEDS to know if you sell anything at a garage sale...
Banning certain guns because they're scary looking that fit the "assault weapon" profile, because they were designed "strictly" for killing human beings...
Believes in expanding background checks (universal background checks) is a good "common sense" measure to stop gun violence despite every background check failing to do a damn thing other than to infringe on a right. Fun fact the FBI who runs the NICS has quit reviewing their appeals log for those whom have been barred because of clerical error... This is in fact Literally violating the 5th amendment
He thinks we're disproportionately locking up Latinos and blacks because they dindu nuffin and thinks our laws are somehow selectively racist therefore we need to throw out the current system and redo it from top to bottom........
he's gone on multiple times saying muh racist police are unfairly targeting minorities and that its unfair that they're targeted "because" of their skincolor... He a gud boy he dindu nuffin!!! Because its going so well over there in Europe where the police are unable to say the perpetrators look "north African" or "Arab" or even "migrants" were involved because that's racis!!!
On his stance of Military action he'd essentially let Hitler (substitute in ISIS) take over all of Europe until as a last resort it would be the US vs him. His major trump card is Shaming Muslim nations into fighting ISIS, because its in their interest to take on ISIS and they're not benefiting from ISIS right???? oh wait some of them are and some of them wouldn't gain anything from actually doing anything...
