If you were able to stand on your own two feet and pay for your own bad decisions in life would you still find him attractive?
I'm probably one of the highest earners on this forum. I'm about to take a three month vacation to Brazil because **** it, I can. I don't need
anybody's help.
That being said there are a few things I like about Sanders.
1.) Love him or hate him he is consistent and he says what is in his heart. He is genuine, and that makes him quite unique in politics.
2.) His platform mirrors Nordic capitalism which I am a fan of. I knoooooow the word socialism gets thrown around and abused
a lot by
both sides, but if you understand the meanings of words you'll understand that that's not actually what he is or what he represents. Even the man himself seems to be a little confused.
3.) The establishment ******* hates him. He is not a status quo politician. They hate Bernie? Good, **** them. It's the same way I feel about Trump. The enemy of my enemy etc etc...
Bernie definitely believes some pie in the sky bullshit, but I truly believe that underneath it all he's a good man that wants good things for our country and for the world, and I think that matters a lot. I'll take a good person over just about anything else that's available. Are there smarter and more realistic people I would love to vote for? **** YES, but those people are unfortunately irrelevant.
I think Trump might get my vote in 2020 because the damage he has done to status quo conservatism cannot be measured. He is invaluable for that. He's a true populist. Some may hate his methods, including me sometimes, but I think the change he is bringing about will ultimately be a good thing. The Republican party will never be the same again.
