It's got Bernie in it, that's why I'm linking it. Got Hillary too, but oh well.

Did he release any actual proposed funding for all his "free" everything promises? Adding an extra 18 trillion to US debt is not nice and it only means your kids or grandkids will pay the debt via higher taxes in the future.



L.E: It's not a shame to try to fix only one major issue like how Obama said he will try to fix the heathcare. He didn't managed it but at least he said it upfront and then pushed for it once elected. I feel like Bernie wants to much so it seems undoable.

Andddd here's Bernie's stance on vaccines:Vaccinations A measles outbreak in the United States has started a new debate on the merits of mandatory vaccination of all children, which currently is required only in Mississippi and West Virginia. “Obviously, vaccinations work. Vaccination has worked for many, many years,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told The Daily Beast. “I am sensitive to the fact that there are some families who disagree but the difficulty is if I have a kid who is suffering from an illness who is subjected to a kid who walks into a room without vaccines that could kill that child and that’s wrong.”

it was a joke

it was a joke

Then it was in very poor taste and unfunny.

I'd love an explanation why Bernie Sanders is a hawk now. In recent debates he seems afraid of ISIS and thinks we should eventually even go after Assad. He also supported Obama's plan to prolong Afghanistan troop deployments through 2017.

Isn't it obvious to anyone who has even a shred of critical thinking? The entire Isis fiasco is because the stabilizing forces were pulled out too early leaving a power vacuum in its wake. This is the problem with republicans and the extreme right wing, so short sighted and narrow a world viewpoint that they can't even establish simple cause-and-effect scenarios.

I'm sorry.

never be sorry
