this actually has been an enlightening experience for me. its interesting seeing how deep the levels of stannery for a politician will go. i actually like bernie but the stans hate me because i dont love him and am asking for elaboration concerning certain aspects of his platform. i wish i could remember if there was this much vitriol from obama supporters in 08 towards the competition, im leaning towards a heavy no though
No one knew who obama was. and when he showed himself and his policies. they were more middle left. which was similar to what we've seen in the past. Bernie in comparison to what we have seen from both dems and repubs the past 20 years or so is far left.
. lastly, obama wasnt in the senate that long. bernie has been in the gang for a very long time. and he has been the same guy he was in college running his mouth about socialist/democratic blah blah. from day 1. THIS IS unusual for a politician in the past 20 or so years. these dudes/chicks usually vote one way, say one thing and switch up to get put in office. this dude bern hate him or love him has been keeping it 1000 the entire time. So the difference between say Hill and obama was this, hil vs the unknown guy.
Now its Hill(the lady who has championed her husband's policies some which have heart middle class americans all over the country, as well as has hurt blacks/browns specifically. in addition to we have seen her cozying up with the ballers (wall street and the likes.) vs bernie who we know - aka mr socialist democrat.
If the country was in much better condition bernie would've never have run. the only reason old school is running is because we do need a revolution of some sort in politics. which can change our policies back to something more reasonable for ALL of us, not just a very very small portion of us.
