America, here's your bern notice.

Sorry for the bunch of images, but it's the quickest way to get his stance on most of the major issues across without a giant wall of text.

He has a lot of good ideas, and a solid voting record to back it up. I don't agree with all of them, but that's a two party system for you. And he actually has a chance of winning, unlike the republican candidates.

America's radical shift to the left has begun. It's already too late. Nothing can stop it now.



Republicans, libertarians, and old people in general are going to be completely losing their minds over the course of the next 5-10 years as capitalism dies and we begin creating a new more compassionate civilization within the corpse of the old one.



There will be blood. So much goddamn blood.

No, capitalism isn't going to die. America has always had a blend of economic policies, and always will. People pretending Bernie is about Socialism vs Capitalism (and he's a democratic socialist anyway, there's a difference) are distracting from the real issues, issues that scare them for whatever reason, or just because they don't want a dem in office due to party loyalty.

A president cannot legislate and tax, it still needs to come through Congress and the Senate, and radical socialist economic policies would never make it through anyway, even if it's democratically controlled.

What people are really interested in, are his foreign policies, and his positions on civil liberties. He speaks strongly and straightforward, and has the voting record to back it up.

A president who is commited to ending the war on drugs, stopping out of control military spending, dismantling the security state, ending warmongering, end corporate financing of candidates, list goes on and on. That's someone I can get behind.

Can you even imagine it? A socialist United States versus a capitalist Russia and China. The cold war will start once again, between the socialist and the capitalist sides. In the end, the socialist entity (i.e the US) will disintegrate, with the conservative states such as Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, Utah, and Idaho seceding from the Union.

In a 2 party system, its close to impossible to choose a candidate who we agree on each and ever issue...
Bernie Sanders IMHO seems like the most logical choice for the next president of the United States.

Bravo to the OP for including an easy to read summary of a few of his main positions.
A longshot i see somewhere down the road, is Gavin Newsom of California.
This guy is a forward thinker and seems to be genuine in his efforts to help the majority.

As of right now, Bernie has my vote and support, Hillary is shady as shady gets....and the circus of candidates on the GOP side laughable at best.

Typical conservative warmongering, that believes America needs to be the World Police.

Thanks, I was unsure if I should include the images or not, but it does get the point across faster.

I used to vote republican, but the current state of the GOP has scared me away, and many others I know.



"Chomsky assessed the political landscape: "Today’s Democrats are what used to be called moderate Republicans. The Republicans have just drifted off the spectrum. They’re so committed to extreme wealth and power that they cannot get votes ... So what has happened is that they’ve mobilized sectors of the population that have been around for a long time. ... Trump may be comic relief, but it’s not that different from the mainstream, which I think is more important.""
