My detailed take on why NOT Bernie Sanders

[aintitfunny]

154. Not Accurate in My View

Based on what I have read that is not on Bernie's or Hillary's website or promoted by their supporters - the Doctors and hospitals would take a hit - not 50%, but that would be heavily offset by not having to hire staff just to deal with the complexities of collecting from the insurance companies.

Bernie Sanders has said that he cannot do it alone, ergo the revolution. First of all, he is thinking big, instead of thinking incrementally. He does not wish to behave like Obama, who mistakenly believed there were rational Republicans. He thought it would spur negotiations if he gave in on important points before the negotiations even begin. If Bernie can continue to engage the disenfranchised electorate, he will have the power behind him. If these people come out to vote, he will sweep in change in the US House and Senate. It is a WE not I plan of action.

Bill Clinton signed the CFMA bill.

Bernie Sanders doesn't bash. When a candidate expresses a view or opinion, honestly, it is not bashing. He is not manufacturing information or scandals. His support for President Obama is absolute, but support, in my view, does not equate to absolute adherence to every policy or position.

He is also not bashing the DNC, but I am happy to do so as a life-long Democrat, they are inadequate and do not satisfactorily represent the whole of the Democratic Party and they risk losing the ones they count on every election. 2012 was a painful example of the rank incompetence. DWS should resign.

Mitch McConnell is not the only Republican senator and yes, he may close his blinds, but do not underestimate the power of the people.

He was a mayor in VT, then a US Congressman, then Senator. He could not have gotten Universal Healthcare passed in Vermont he could only speak for such action.

He fought in the ACA negotiations but the Democrats and Obama agreed to take single-payer off the table before negotiations began.

He will not offer troops for sacrifice and that will significantly reduce defense spending. Just one response to that statement.

De-militarizing local police departments, racial justice, stopping for-profit prisons, are a few ways he will effect the murder by cop issue. He speaks to all of these things. But, it should be pointed out that Bill Clinton was behind the 3-strikes your out law that was enacted during his term in office, which also impacts both justice in general and racial justice in particular.
