It's hilarious when people running a government that spends $4 trillion annually talk about the "Corrupting influence of money"

Dante put the politically corrupt and the hypocrites in almost the exact same place way down in the 8th Circle. So little has changed

This is how fascist states start, every time. The fact that anyone takes the retard seriously is how far we've fallen as a nation.

Sanders is the left's version of Ron Paul, and everyone knows how Ron Paul split the Republican vote. My prediction is that he's going to do the same thing to the Democratic Party and for this, I say "go for it".

He may do that during the primaries, but not during the general.

Plus, he won't run Independent, and Trump may.

-The wealthy do need to pay more unfortunately. Our markets are so broken that it is inevitable.
-The corporate tax code does need to be re-written to address globalization. I tend to doubt Bernie is the guy to do that but if he is smart he will stress consumption over production.
-Big money is a problem for both sides and most people want this to be fixed.
-Taxation probably won't really fix this problem but it is a problem.
-I am not a huge fan of single payer but our current system is broken.
-Big Banks are not going anywhere
-The college system doesn't need more money thrown at it. It needs to be modernized to meet the needs of a new world.
-Pay equity is good
-$15 min wage is good but 2020 is a bit early
-Unions are great but the leverage they need isn't at the corporate level but the national level and that isn't happening.
-SS needs to be reformed, especially disability. He already has Single payer so I assume he means what is covered. That would be necessary obviously under a single payer system.

Are you predicting that Bernie is going to run as an independent?

No, he's going to run as a Democrat. But He's also going to draw many votes away from Hillary, thus splitting the party. Even if he had an ice cube's chance in hell of actually getting the nomination, he won't stand a chance.
