Bernie's Ideas Aren't Radical
Feb 25, 2020
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.

(67,782 posts)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.

(4,697 posts)6. These are Bernie's proposals.
Are they or are they not radical ideas?
If your candidate thinks theyre radical, stand up for your candidate.
Its not rocket science, but status quo candidates have covered these simple ideas with bullshit straight from the Wall Street bulls ass.
