"The Truth of Sanders is That He Is a Socialist."
Um yeah. He calls himself a socialist.
You seem to equate being a socialist as something akin to a vampire or the walking undead.

So how can you reduce corruption in government by making it bigger and giving it more tax money?

The future of our planet will not be operating under capitalism.
There's no way this can keep going like it is.
Socialist government policies are why Western Capitalism has problems.
Simple as that.
Crystal Clear.

For the life of me, I do not understand the "Poor ass white boy support" of the Republicans, they are going to do nothing to make you life better.
Because voting for Democrats has really helped the minorities and inner cities, eh?
I am not saying that either, but the "redneck" support of the rupublicans truly bows my mind.

So by your logic, 90% of the work force could be "Government"...90% of the ownership...90% OF THE MEDIA...etc.etc.etc
How does one sustain that?
If it all worked correctly and without corruption YES I'd be totally fine with it. I'm not foolish enough to believe that it could ever be corruption free but if it was possible and would work like it was supposed to in theory then I'd be fine with it.
An ideal example of a truly operational and efficient Democratic Socialism style of society would be like Star Trek. I can think of a lot worse.

If "rednecks' support Republicans...couldn't it be logical that people EQUALLY as uninformed are on the LEFT?
I.E. "Bern" Victims?

lol. It makes for a convenient albeit idealistic example. Yes I know it's only fiction. Yes I know it's a TV show. But as we all know there is no actual corruption free society for me to use as an example anywhere. So I used that. I figured you were all intelligent enough to realize that.
Should I have used Atlantis instead??? Or maybe our Lords Kingdom in Heaven perhaps??? Would that have worked better for you???

I would agree with you that people on the left are equally uniformed. Unfortunately the "rednecks" that support the right, claim to be informed, I have to laugh my ass off. I make 20k a year, and live in a trailer with my wife and 20 kids, and I AM A REPUBLICAN. Seriously WTF?

Ok, this works for roping in support from the dumb, poor hick folk for a reason -- because religion.
Have you not noticed how the stumping from the repubs is laced with religious bullchit? Because they're pandering squarely to the religious right, whom as of late have some of the worst "grass roots heros" examples going for them. Not the brightest are going to be on that bandwagon.
It's kind of like watching a self-fufilling Idiocracy prediction in motion.

Before tonight I thought that Bernie was just a nice, compassionate MISLEAD politician with his heart in the right place, but wrong policy.
I see now he's a scumbag traitor.
Not even one ounce of respect left for him
He's vile
