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.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

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.

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.

That would be a huge headline.

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