Bernie's Ideas Aren't Radical

Is raising the minimum wage to $15/hour radical?
Is making sure kids can get a higher education radical?
Is making health care a right like every other major country radical?
Is addressing the existential threat of climate change radical?

The American people don't think so.

[George II]

1. Those "Is" questions are oversimplifications....

The minimum wage is $15 in a number of states and HIS "minimum wage" applies only to Federal workers. A President can't mandate minimum wage by state.

"Kids" (you mean teenagers?) can get higher education.

7. Of course they can. The same way $7.25 is the federally-mandated minimum wage now. nt

2. Right, and

they aren't just Bernie's ideas.

[MisterFred]

8. True! And that makes me very happy!nt

3. Sanders says he will create 20 million jobs uninformed people believe him. That's what's important

4. well everyone is going to need 2 jobs to pay for all the free stuff

so that's a good thing he is creating 20M new jobs...

BTW, what is the unemployment rate again?

5. +1

6. These are Bernie's proposals.

Are they or are they not radical ideas?

If your candidate thinks they’re radical, stand up for your candidate.

It’s not rocket science, but status quo candidates have covered these simple ideas with bullshit straight from the Wall Street bull’s ass.

9. Which Democratic candidate is AGAINST those things

That would be a huge headline.

What you think not radical is another voter’s Democratic Socialist.
