    That would be you looking at yourself in the Mirror - Your comparison between Bernie and Stalin is mindless gibberish.

    Bernie has stated he is a communist, silly. And I never said what YOUR strawman, claims.

    I am not the one running round making comparisons between Bernie and the former USSR -

    but - if you wish to clarify your position - please do so. What type of "communist reforms" do you think Bernie is up to.

    You have yet to tell me how Bernie is more Socialist than Trump.

    in a way, i'd like to see bernie become prez...

    it'll be fun watchin all his peeps get 'woke' to the disaster socialism is...

    it'd be similar to turning off all electricity, they all panic and begin to 'eat' themselves/eachother...

    popcorn's a ready & waiting...

    Bernie is an out of touch little grub. His old comments that "women fantasize about being raped by three men simultaneously" show just how delusional the old grub is in all aspects of life.

    I work all over the city and in the income neighborhoods they seem to think if Bernie is elected they will forever be on ez street.
    Where do you suppose they get that idea?
    Maybe they are just hopelessly lost in that same fantasy.

    yes socialism is a stepping stone towards communism. Socialism it's enough like communism to persuade the country to become communist. It is an ends to a means. It always ends in Mass death either through famine or genocide.

    They are both very obviously failed systems of government.
    no they're not in socialism the government owns the means of production. Social welfare isn't socialism. Venezuela the USSR Nazi Germany those are socialism.
    you're just calling social welfare socialism. Either you have no idea what it is or you're purposefully trying to mislead people to make this crap see more palatable.

    Socialism never works it never has it always ends in something like Venezuela it's been tried hundreds of times.

    It's better than a socialist regime. The Nazis were socialists.

    The people that want socialism are typically neerdowels that feel entitled to other people's wealth. They don't care about the world. They only care about getting out of responsibility. The only care about having to get out of doing work.

    they don't care about the country they don't care about bringing people out of poverty.

    They don't want you rewarded for your hard work. You shouldn't be able to buy a nice house or a nice car because if they can't. Not because they're not able to it's because they're too lazy.

    I’ve no ideal what is in Trump’s heart regarding race.
    I’ve not seen him suggest or enact any racist legislation or policies as POTUS. So if he is a racist he’s not using the office to act upon those views.


    But i know what BS states he wants to implement if elected. Socialism. He is very open and honest about it which i admire. It’s just a crap system of government we do not need.

    I’m not sure he is a communist and i don’t really care because his desire for implementing socialism is enough for me to not vote for him.

    Seriously ? The guy who built his legacy on birtherism ?
    Open and honest ? So, you have access to his tax returns ?

    Socialism ? You’re right. He is anti socialism which we all participate in.
    Trump does propose making deep cuts to Medicare.

    You know when a dedicated liberal like MSNBC's Chris Matthews is railing against Socialism in an American debate follow-up, it's not good.

    Consider the consequences of Bernie winning the nomination and Chris Matthews continuing to rail against Socialism every single day.

    Huh?

    Where did open and honest come from?

    I said i did not know what was in his heart regarding race. I do not know DT, I don’t want to. But if he is a racist he is not acting the part was my point so I’m not going to base my vote upon that accusation.

    But BS makes very clear his desire to implement socialism if elected. I’m not voting for anyone who has that desire.

    So, you don’t like universal healthcare. You’re in the minority.
    We knew everyone’s tax returns running for President....
    Where is Trump’s ?

    When AOC won her seat in 2018, I read that the Justice Democrats' main focus is on infiltrating and destroying the Democrat Party from the inside. They don't particularly care if a traditional Democrat or a Republican wins the presidency while they're working on their goal. The Socialist wing believes that we've gone the "wrong way" for so many decades that 4 or 8 years with either major party in power doesn't really matter.

    The biggest threat to Democrats in 2020 is not Trump. It's the Socialists.

    Sure. Socialism is the word communists use now because communism was a huge fail. In the last century communism murdered millions of people.

    I agree. The adult-children like AOC run purely on emotional ideology. Their lack of ability to even understand simple concepts like tax breaks to attract business to a area are a sign of their overall ability to responsibly govern. The DNC has a real problem now, and it is looking like it will bite them deep in the ass in November.

    If you want to call out Fox news for leaning right (they do) you might want to call out the others for leaning left. MSNBC is far more guilty of bias than Fox is for example. The media is clearly agitated with Trump because he blows them off and they are not use to that. I get why they they are pissed but they have resorted to very childish behavior because of it. The overall bias in the media against Trump is not hard to see at all. Their credibility is much lower than Pre Trump because of their actions. He pushed their buttons and they fell for it hook, line and sinker. The “righteous” media is what i am most looking forward too on election night as their heads explode again. :0

    rachel meadows, on man..she was beside herself in 2016, 2020 might see her pass out in fury!

    But not sure what Trumps views on race have to do with Sanders pushing for socialist changes. Like I stared I’m not voting for a “proud socialist” for POTUS.

    I find some of the posts here frankly bizarre. Bernie the commie? Bernie has proclaimed himself to be an avowed socialist, but the kind that wants Medicare for all, free college and a lot of free stuff that makes no sense. I am unaware of his penchant for government ownership of Apple or GM. That's communism, where the "people," ie. the government own everything and everything get apportioned equally. Not a lot of support for that here.

    It's a pretty good idea to know what you're talking about before forwarding something you might have heard from some biased source with an agenda. By Econ 102, one should have a good understanding of communism, capitalism, and socialism.

    So what is Bernie? In my very opinionated look, Bernie is a creaky old socialist living somewhere in the 20's or 30's. A bit of a flake and kind of a nasty old coot.

    Laughable. It’s like saying, the biggest threat to the Democratic Party is supporting programs the MAJORITY of Democrats AND Republicans and independents want. Dealing with climate change is anti democratic ? Universal healthcare provided by every other democracy in the world is being anti democratic ?
    Because, the majority of citizens want more secure social programs. Last time I looked, every agenda the so called socialists supported were the same as those supported by the vast majority of Americans, let alone democrats . Name one that wasn’t instead of proclaiming this fraudulent POV.
