It’s like you have no idea what Bernie wants to do .
Maybe I don't... it's why I was asking.
A lot of what he has said makes sense to me. I guess I am asking for someone to help illuminate the unintended consequences of his platform. Several people have made good points on this thread.

Holy shite dude.
Is everyone on this board a fricking psycho?
The answer is yes, friend. Don't come here for nuanced discussion, or anything really, other than gifs, memes, (weak) insults, and low-info conspiracy theories. This board has had a Q thread on the front page for months (years?) which tells you all you need to know in terms of the level of intellect you're dealing with here.
My suggestion is to read these threads so you stay well-versed on the tools (and subsequent effects) of right-wing propoganda machines and work at your local level to try and effect change based on that.
Bernie may move the needle a little if he gets into office, but ultimately he'll fall victim to the same problems anyone else there faces: partisanism over everything. He'll be kneecapped.
The upside though is that we'll no longer have a psychopath in office, which is more than we can say presently. The world will be a better place with anyone else in the oval office, whether they be from the left or right.

Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion this year.
Improved vetting and screening for refugees, and switched focus to overseas resettlement.

His policies aren't remotely communist but whatever you say. Guess Trump is Hitler because some random person on Twitter told me he is
