Who is Bernie sanders???

I'm seeing a lot of positive rustlings around the net related to his (possible?) presidential running. Is he new? I seem to remember a "green" or 3rd runner in the obama/kerry race of 2004 who dropped out before the two titans lowered their horns on stage. Since my early teens when I started paying attention to presidents I have quickly learned to be apprehensive of popularity, I am having a hard time stomaching him, I'm afraid he's probably just as evil as any other throughout history. Could there be hope though? What if he did get elected and we entered an age of socio-political enlightenment and actually took the forefront in the world race for the most advanced nation?

He's the Millenial Man. THe Hillary alternative. He's made for Twitter, master of saying what you want to hear without saying anything substantial. The stuff of memes.
What's his platform? No clue. Maybe a wolf in the clothing of sheep. Only platform that found its way in front of my eyes thus far is the Rand Paul economic platform, which I gotta say, is growing on me.

I made this exact same thread like a week ago.
Since then i watched some speeches by him and honestly, i don't really like him. He is just promising a shit ton of communist stuff like a political santa clause. Wants to turn the US into denmark (which would be awesome, i just don't really believe he can do it).
until he mentions rehauling the voting system to something mathmatically sound, I don't really give a fuck.

he's a corrupt career politician that says that all the career politicians should be voted out of office, if you recall, in the 2008 election people were making a huge deal about putting obama into office and in the time he's been there look how they're talking now... would you like a repeat of obama?

All that is true but he is still better than hitlery or the other dems. I want to see him vs rand paul. That would be awesome. It would also give the country's power brokers a major fit, which would be good all by itself. The media would be fit to be tied.

The whole election process should be funded by tax dollars, not 'donations' or bribes as they are called by the rest of the world outside of politics. These super PACs and lobbyists need to be abolished.
What if to run for office you needed so many signatures and once you qualified you were given a spot regardless of party or whatever. Then once qualified, you are given an equal share of the election fund and equal free air time on a government ran election channel. If you take even a single red penny from anyone or any company you get disqualified instantly.
It's the fact that the politicians don't answer to the citizens but only to the million/billionaires that are constantly writing them checks. It's really just a battle between the liberal billionaires and the conservative billionaires right now.

THIS reflects my views, white people voted for him out of racial guilt and the non whites voted for him because it was the only thing they could relate to, remember "We president now" This isn't a racial post, its just sad - I'd have preferred a warmonger over whatever the hell you can call that bullshit.

I'm sure for some this was true, for others they voted because they believed he was different than all the others, they were fed a line of shit and swallowed it down as though it was the truth. the majority of people that voted for him had no inkling of who he was, they didnt know his voting record and the big problem is that in both elections the republicans placed him against another moderate and the way it works, if you put 2 moderate candidates in front of the public they'll always vote for the one they think will be more consistent. the media pushed him into the white house and they will continue to do so with any democrat candidate

Now that sounds like a great idea!

Bernie is a straight speaking man and one of integrity too. He was 3 times mayor of Burlington, and has been in the US senate since 1990. Proof of his honesty? He's also the poorest senator in Washing DC, have a net worth of around $300K.
