quote:

Sanders shot back on Monday, declaring: "Truth is truth. All right? If you want to disagree with me, if somebody wants to say that — and by the way all of the Congress people you mentioned just so happen to be supporting other candidates ... but you know, the truth is the truth. And that is what happened on the first years of the Castro regime."

Sanders added that China is another example of an autocratic dictatorship that has accomplished good things for its people.

"China is an authoritarian country, becoming more and more authoritarian," Sanders said. "But can anyone deny, the facts are clear, that they have taken more people out of extreme poverty than any country in history?"

This is such an outright distortion of truth that one does not know where to begin

Yeah, dipshit. They did this by becoming LESS communist and more free-market oriented. And they did it on the backs of America.

No, he's just an idiot.

The bad part is that a lot of Dems are idiots who will eat this up.

The good part is that HOPEFULLY it will cause a lot of other Dems to flip and for Republican turnout to be high.

All the while ignoring that they have also taken more people out of the world than any other country.

How does Bernie think they accomplished this?

Perhaps...capitalism?

Let's see he has in the past praised

Fidel led Cuba - Check
Modern China - Check
Soviet Russia - Check
2015 Venezuela - Check
Denmark- Called him out to quit calling them socialist

In fact, every Scandinavian country he wants America to be like is the most white, least diverse, and smaller than 32 US states in population.

Dems, Progs, so-called moderates and never trumpers... What more does he have to say? Actions speak louder than words but his words and actions are looking pretty extreme.
