I can not believe I’m saying this, but I agree with Bernie Sanders

Now I wonder what his Antifa disciples along with AOC, Rashida Talib, and Ilhan Omar are going to say.

He isn't always unreasonable. It's his platform as a whole that's not realistic.

When Bernie Sanders makes today’s Prog Democrats look too extreme you know we have entered a Clown World.

Yep. Bernie may want to be careful or he may find himself labeled as not towing the woke extreme view of how society should be constructed.

They want to replace the police with a force that will execute their PC, woke narrative that most of these Karens live by and believe they are just in their warped thinking.

Bernie wouldn't be saying that if he was the Nominee. He'd be in there banging drum just as loud as Antifa.

A foundational aspect of all these police department reforms is getting better people for the same or less pay.

I support better and more modernized training, but at the end of the day, you aren't going to get someone who could be a CIA spy or doctor joining the police force for the salary they get on a regular basis. So training will still only go so far.

The irony here is we have poor people with low education actively demanding to remove one of the best job prospects for poor people with low education.

I disagree that most police officers need to be college educated, which is something being pushed.

Does this mean yes or no to affirmative action hires and advancement?

Liberals: Police need more training! We need to get better officers!

Also Liberals: Cut their funding!

He is basically arguing for an increase in funding for police. You can’t expect more out of cops without paying them more and spending additional funds on training.

Bernie also had to walk back his longstanding opposition to massive labor immigration, with the understanding it eroded workers wages.

Bernie Sanders, of all people, has found himself on the right wing of many issues the last few years.

People who want to abolish or defund the police are absolute morons.

I’m glad Bernie isn’t aligning with the other socialists on this one.

This may sound bad as a conservative, and let me preface this by saying that I think Bernie Sanders is a complete fricking moron who doesn’t understand economics, but I think that a Sanders-style presidency could be exactly what America needs right now.

We’re truly an oligarchy, and I don’t see how anyone could deny that. I’m tired of massive liberal companies like Disney, Walmart, Apple, and Amazon running the world. I’m also tired of our corrupt uniparty system, along with the fact that you can easily spend $60,000 a year on groceries, rent, and health insurance alone. College is insanely overpriced and our educational system is an absolute joke from top to bottom.

There are a lot of things that I’m hoping Trump fixes in his second term, but if he doesn’t, I’m voting for the most insane, uneducated, frothing-at-the-mouth anti-big-corporation extremist and hoping that they nuke the massive monopolies that are forming in our society.

What we need are police that know what the frick their roles and responsibility are and what the boundaries are. We need to train them and provide them with the support they need....their role in society is as important as any role in society.
