Lets not get totally carried away on poor old Bernie. As bad as his faults are, he is no crooked den of weasels like hill and her dirtbag husband. He is not totally sold out like them or jeb, for example. Anyone would be better than them and Bernie is anyone. Can we agree on that much?

We can agree on a lot, Sir.
Bernie sold out to Unions & Fuck Jeb the sellout. Actually I wouldn't vote if it was Jeb vs Bernie. I would let the USA fall.
Bernie Sanders https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?cycle=2016&cid=N00000528&type=I&newmem=N
Edit: Bernie is better than Jeb in some cases.. but they are still both horrible fuckfaces.. Policy might be another issue-Jeb is better than Bernie. Tough call really. The Bush economy was better than the Obowma economy.

Nice ignorant comment there. Ever heard of a public union? Do you know what SEIU is?

You've yet to answer the questions, so it's obvious you're not aware of anything significant.

Lol, what? Isn't education in America completely socialized? Isn't American kids way behind the rest of the developed world?
One only needs to look at performance K-12 to see that socializing the colleges too would be an epic failure...

-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I simply can't see where Bernie is as bad as jeb or the bitch. They are both business as usual, bribe taking sellouts. You think Bernie sold out to the unions? The bitch will make him look like a union hater if she slithers in. Jeb is so crooked he can't walk straight. Jeb is the gop that would definitely make me have to go with bernie if he got the nomination. Jeb is against all drugs including medical pot and thinks the nsa should do even more spying on citizens. If its jeb vs hill, vote third party because we are fucked.
Bernie is the best of the dems, period. Goofball biden is obumble light and we don't need any more incompetent fuckups in office.

He asked about socialist school systems, not socialized school systems.
And yes, american kids are way behind. Guess who is way ahead while not traumatizing their kids?
