(651 posts)tons different than Alex Jones, and I don't see a damn difference between people like yourself and the average Republican. The fact is that the Democratic Party is filled with reactionaries like you, and it's sinking as a result.
"No, you try explaining how Sanders is going to get Americans to pay for his laundry list of programs"
Simple, he explains it, at least to people (unlike yourself) that can think their way out of a paper bag. On health care, for example, he could explain that a person's taxes might go up, but most people will see an even larger reduction in private expenditure, which numerous studies and the experience in other countries shows. Now, people like yourself cannot think with any complexity, so you see taxes and nothing else. There's no reaching you logically because you don't have the capacity to hold two ideas in your head at the same time.
