This guy is the most dangerous political figure in the last 20 years. His cult following is also more extreme than the most ardent Trump supporters.

I often even hear people on the right (i.e. Ted Cruz) saying "well he's crazy but he seems sincere and is in general a good guy". This lunatic would turn the US into a 3rd world country if he could all in the name of "equality".

I'm tired of hearing that he's a "good guy" fighting for a "good cause". I hope other people realize that this guy needs to be shouted down at every turn.

Even if Ted said that (not doubting you), it doesn't mean that Ted will agree politically with anything Bernie says or tries to do.

Relax.....if Bernie really wants something, most Reps will say frick you Bernie.

He said it on Steven Crowder's podcast, but yes he doesn't agree with Bernie on anything.

I'm just saying we can't treat Bernie like some cute little socialist these days. He has real, widespread support which is scary.

Whatever else he is, Bernie Sanders is not a good guy. Way too many stories out there about his short-fuse & condescending manner. The guy is a jerk. Larry David's impression might be endearing, but that isn't what the real BS is like.

That being said, he isn't dangerous because he's a jerk. He's dangerous because of his Socialist/Communist doctrine.

That's what I'm saying. He's not a good person and he doesn't mean well. I've said this before but he would be the actual fascist that people proclaim Trump to be.

This guy is the most dangerous political figure in the last 20 years. His cult following is also more extreme than the most ardent Obama supporters.

I often even hear people on the left (i.e. Dennis Kucinich) saying "well he's crazy but he seems sincere and is in general a good guy". This lunatic would turn the US into a 3rd world country socially if he could all in the name of "constitutionalism".

I'm tired of hearing that he's a "good guy" fighting for a "good cause". I hope other people realize that this guy needs to be shouted down at every turn.

Bernie isn't a 'good guy', he's a typical Socialist despot before attaining power.

i'm in that camp. i think the guy points out some legit issues that we need to look at. unfortunately his answers to those problems involve imaginary money and rich boogeymen.

I never followed Ron Paul but I believe his whole shtick was allowing you to do what you want without the hindrance of the Fed government.

Bernie's shtick is using the Fed government to make you do as he wants.

Obviously Bernie's political dogma is much more dangerous to the well being of the United States.

Exactly he plays class politics like no one we've seen in a while. This causes more division than anything else in the US. But he's for "equality" and "tolerance" and everyone getting their "fair share".

He's not about making the US better for everyone. He's for turning everyone into a number that mindlessly relies on the Federal government and worships the collective.

i always laughed when he said "we want a revolution."

to which i thought " a revolution where the people hand more power, money, and rights to the government?"

Yeah the shite is getting pretty crazy. I know a very well educated kid (PHd grad) who calls himself a Marxist follower. I talked with him to catch up and it was crazy because nothing really change about him but his political beliefs which had gone from moderate to full blown leftist.

I have a former friend like this as well. He said he'd be fine going full blown socialism as long as he has a basic universal income of 30K and complete health care insurance.

How boring/depressing of a life is that?

Sanders is evil for supporting an evil practice. He's the epitome of a hypocrite as well. I see him as an enemy to the US.

I just finished reading his book Our Revolution and I must say there is nothing particulary objectionable in it.

A fair days pay for a fair days work,

Health Care for all.

College and worker training for those who want it,

Child Care.

Regulation of our banking sector - no more 2008 collapses.


Sounds good to me!

Yes while the money is drained from the populace's pockets at gunpoint. The country then subsequently falls apart. Good deal.
