They are getting railroaded by their own stupidity. Full stop, and they want to be bailed out rather than own the consequences. My fiancée put herself through her entire professional education without a single dime of student loans. One of her co-residents has nearly $800,000 in student debt and of couse is a Bernie/Warren supporter, a true POS too.

Which is very scary.

8,000, at best, mental disorders in one room. Half of them will be too stoned to get off their arse and vote on election day. Some of them will be dead from drug use...

I just read research that 48% of all government spending is on healthcare when you account for costs drawn from the social security fund and include all the costs allocated to other agencies and Medicare and Medicaid. These programs are all unsustainable but the voting power of old people is too strong to believe anything but a complete government take over is inevitable. We would just be growing a system everybody admits is horrible. It's sad we have such a weak population that can't understand how to think past their next pay check.

The question is what are those “Bernie supporters” going to do when the DNC big wigs steal the nomination from him this time? Will they fall in line again like 2016 or will they have had enough of the corruption in the process to get Mayor Pete across the finish line? The DEM power brokers know Bernie can’t win in the swing states in November.

People that are lured in by the promise of handouts. Doesn't suprise me.

Warren and Biden also promise handouts, but everyone knows they're just saying shite to get votes. No one believes Warren or Biden will attempt to act on their campaign promises, if they win. Bernie has been wanting to deliver handouts for decades. He's a socialist bum, but it's easier to believe he'd try to get his socialist programs installed.

that's why he's the most dangerous and anyone saying otherwise is an out of touch fool.

I only see the first level. Was the upper deck of that arena as crowded?

The GOP answer(which is nothing) to outrageous healthcare costs will give Bernie a shot.

I think this board underestimates how healthcare, prescription drug costs, all of it, it unacceptable to many many people.

Honestly curious, how did she pay for med school?

DMD and just finished Prosthodontics residency. Grants, scholarships, and saving every penny from her miniscule stipend during her Ph.D. that she used up to get through her residency program.
