I dunno know bout youses folks, buts man I 'm so happy to see this guy starting to get some real recognition n shit, dude had like 20,000 32,000 dudes rallied up for him yesterday, dude's new motto is like "nobody can tell me what to do" lol dude is straight up taking over the world, this is awesome , I'm so happy Like literally a couple months ago I had no idea either Trump or Hillary were legitimately legitimate candidates people were legitimately considering voting for, it just blows my mind to comprehend what the future would hold if not for Bernie. I literally have never once given a shit about who would be president in the past since I never had any desire choosing one over another until now. It's like you can either have your country run by some cranky old skank whose pussy is all dried up some douchebag who's running as a joke or the third coming of christ
Vote Bernie

Ok, so lets actually get critical of Bernie and look at his hypocrisies.
1. Bernie's entire platform is based on the same far left rethoric as Obama's "hope and change" mantra. It's all about the 1%, raising taxes, increasing government spending, helping the poor (which they are calling the middle class), and blaming long time corporate interest groups. Sound familiar?
We've had 8 years of that bullshit and out country is worse off than when Bush left it. So this whole argument is just left wing establishment talking points that we've been over time and time again.
2. Bernie refuses to criticize the Left when asked questions about Hilary's email scandal, Obama's shitty Iraq deal. In fact Bernie supports giving $150 billion dollars to Iraq, which is fucking insane. All the while a major talking point of his campaign is kicking out the long term interest groups and the people not making change. Yet he refuses to critical the left, even though he claims he's independent. Sanders is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history, so by definition if we want to get out the long term serving self interested politicians, this guys is the first to go in my book! The bottom line here is that anyone not willing to criticize any member of government purely based on merit is not a real leader or critical thinker and WILL NOT be good for this country.
3. The dude sounds angry and pissed off. He's way to old to be president. People talk about Joe Biden about being too old, yet look right past Bernie's age. Seriously, how can people really think an old 74 year old man, the longest running "independent" that doesn't criticize the Democratic party, will actually be a good representation for the majority of this country?
It amazes me that people actually think the government will do a good job anything by giving it more money and power. History people. It repeats itself. These things happen with mathematical regularity, yet people somehow think that making a country with 50 independently governed states can operate like EU countries.
So yeah, this is just all I had to time type out for now.

It's not like he's trying to completely put a ban on all guns, his stance on them seems fairly reasonable to me 
Quote:
Sanders, a Democratic presidential hopeful, went on to specify that he supports banning assault weapons and closing the loophole that exempts private, unlicensed gun sales from background checks -- often known as the “gun show loophole." The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence estimates that 40 percent of guns sold in the United States are purchased via private, unlicensed sales.

The media doesn't even consider him a candidate Hilary pumps up here fanbase with fake votes and alters the news lol
I've read the paper and they're like, "the democratic candidate Hilary and who ever else is running..."
Bernie is old, he doesn't have a vag I can't see him winning, mainstream press is going to hand the bid over to trump when they start shoving that women in the spotlight thing down our throat's by using someone that's virtually hated by all men over 55 and despised by the military

Woman shouldn't be taken care of it or giving birth control for free, just like men shouldn't.

yeah I don't usually follow elections or give a shit about politics but he really sounds unique. Hopefully he is everything he's cracked up to be. It feels like a ton of empty promises though, hopefully he can come through.
if we can fund two foreign military occupations for this long, we can probably afford to pay for some stuff back home. the moneys just being printed at this point anyway isn't it?

His lack of bashing on other politicians is one thing a lot of people personally seem to love about him, myself included. I don't understand how you think this is a major negative for him.
And being too old? I disagree with that 100%, he seems pretty sharp to me, if he were having memory issues and couldn't walk it'd be one thing, but he's all there, age should have nothing to do with anything.

Bashing political candidates is vastly different than being critical of policy decisions. And you completely ignored the specifics points Bernie won't answer about Hilary's email scandal, or why he supports the Iraq deal. A president needs/should be able to answer these questions without bashing anyone. It's called critical thinking.
And the age thing wasn't an attack on his wit or competency. And again missing the point that he's the longest running "independent" in congress yet attacks the very same people as being the problem.

He wants to ban AR-15 style weapons and handguns. He says he wants to ban all guns not used for hunting. That's a pretty broad spectrum.

the fact that he's not being funded from big corporations and in turn owes nothing to anybody and won't be told how to run as president is pretty unique

Nobody should take anything you say seriously after that last sentence. What a fucking joke.

The presidental election is a set-up, a total sham designed to make people feel like they have a say when in reality the electoral college are the ones that decide who becomes president, not the people
