Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders promising free shit to everyone makes it clear to me and it gives him one huge advantage over Hillary Clinton in these primaries: accountability. I'm pretty sure Sanders realizes (and has always realized) that he will never be president. So what's the harm in promising free shit when he'll never actually have to walk the walk? Clinton, on the other hand, has a very realistic chance of becoming our next president, so it is in her best interest to provide realistic goals and satisfy the citizens by completing them. Sanders, knowing he will never be president, can promise all this shit, get votes, and never have to speak for it. I can only imagine the backlash he would receive if he were elected president, not actually be able to do anything he promised, his favorability ratings plummet, and a republican gets elected in 2020.

I pretty much agree with this, except that I think Sanders would make these unachievable promises even thinking he can be president.

I think that's the result of Sanders not doing anything. Dude has renamed a couple of post offices and that's about it. When your history in politics is as lengthy as Clinton's, obviously mistakes will be made. Nobody is going to be right 100% of the time. I'll take Clinton's experience over Sanders' doing nothing in his time in politics.

It just boggles my mind why anyone would vote for Sanders. This isn't some shitty job that has no effect on the world. You're voting for who will be the most powerful person in the world. It should be a meritocracy. Sanders' credentials to be president are truly no better than Donald Trump's. In terms of resume, nobody running has better credentials than Hillary.

Because Bernie is simply a superior choice over Hillary. The fact that he can't win doesn't matter. And as for him not being able to get his shit through that's OUR fault. Not his.


Yes. Trump is the real racist. And while Bernie may have over stated things he's not wrong.

Sanders has been wrong on a lot of things.
 
Also Bernie is the senator of the most homogenous state in the union. Why on earth people will think he will know how to handle race relations is beyond me.

Anyman who was getting arrested for civil rights back in the day qualifies as good enough in my book. Though clearly the majority of minority voters disagree with me.

yeah I don't see doing something super long ago qualifies you for an expert in race relations. not to mention blacks aren't the only minority here.
 
Find a quote where he promises college will be free and he will get his HC plan passed.

I've never heard him promise those things, he thinks those are things we should do but not promises he's making. Unless you're sucking up Clinton kool aid then you probably consider them the same thing.

Of course it won't be free, we are going to put Clinton in office and she's going to give admit billions in funding and then let them fuck the students for 50k/yr worth of debt on top of it all sinking the next generation even further and she will laugh at us the whole way.

Oh well it doesn't really matter to me, I'm off the fuckin' map soon anyhow. US deserves that 1%'s dick up their ass for putting a Wall St. mouthpiece in the WH again.

sanders wanted to kill the super collider and space station

JUPITAH IS TOO BIG TO FAIL WE MUST KILLL BIG JUPITAH

The Super Collider was killed to the chagrin of Texans. Why spend all that money and buy the parts from other countries.

Not sure how the space station has paid off at this point. Nice of the Russians to provide taxi service!

No worries. We are off to Mars! That really worked out well for "The Martian"
 
hmmm

I thought he had passed a LOT of ammendments to Bills. Don't those count?
 
So UglyAlison, are you for anything or only against the only candidate that has a sound public policy position on how to level the economic playing-field?

Bernie clearly knows nothing about economics though. I'd trust Trump before Sanders when it comes to the economy.

Yup.... all those bankruptcies teach you real good! He's a charlatan and he will have destroyed his "good" name if this all goes south. If he wins? Well he will consider us all fools and will do his best to "legally" rob us blind just like those that foolishly invest in his businesses. He said as much about those fools.

How long before his Republican buds impeach him??
