Jul 2015

He has been spouting off nothing but policies.

A financial transaction tax that he put forth sometime in May.

That tax was to pay for education reform and making 4 years of post secondary education at public universities, colleges, and trade and tech schools free.

He has stated that any supreme court nominee would be for overturning the citizens united ruling.

He is for legislation requiring all superpac and dark campaign donations be fully disclosed to the public.

He seeks a tax on escessive industrial carbon and methane emissions.

And that is a fairly small sample.

Honestly, when the guy is interviewed he is almost nothing but policy. He doesn't like talking about personality and it takes a good deal of effort to get him to talk about his competition for the nomination.

None of which will help from SCOTUS going 7-2 wingnut. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #10

I am an independent, not a Democrat. TM99 Jul 2015 #12

Must be nice to not care about SCOTUS constantly attacking your status. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #23

SCOTUS is but one issue. TM99 Jul 2015 #34

SCOTUS isn't one issue..its ACA, marriage equality, abortion rights, voting rights etc. Sheepshank Jul 2015 #52

It is one branch of our government. TM99 Jul 2015 #55

Sorry, but a 7-2 SCOTUS could unravel it all. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #59

A 7-2 liberal SCOTUS can't be worth more trade deals and more U.S. troops in Mideast wars n/t. Ken Burch Jul 2015 #82

SCOTUS is not just one issue, they rule on many issues. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #58

Please tell me one time a Democrat ever filibustered or offered meaningful resistance vt_native Jul 2015 #77

You have every right to throw away your vote. Or even vote for a Republican. DanTex Jul 2015 #13

Yes, I do. TM99 Jul 2015 #14

I don't know about neo-liberals, but progressives want to see a Democrat in the White House. DanTex Jul 2015 #17

A New Dem is not a Democrat. TM99 Jul 2015 #20

No you're not alone. A lot of people don't vote for Democrats. DanTex Jul 2015 #21

That's absolutely accurate--those Romney voters were in the minority last time around! MADem Jul 2015 #30

Thank you for this. kath Jul 2015 #41

Yes, we do want to see a Democrat in the White House - and his name is Bernie Sanders Man of Distinction Jul 2015 #45

If Bernie wins its not a DEM in the Whitehouse Sheepshank Jul 2015 #66

No. He's running as a Dem. Vermont doesn't have party registration for individuals. cui bono Jul 2015 #83

That was debunked a few days ago Sheepshank Jul 2015 #85

The Vermont Secretary of State says "there is NO party registration in Vermont". cui bono Jul 2015 #86

Can you please give me the link to that? cui bono Jul 2015 #88

The argument postulated and clarified in your link.... Sheepshank Jul 2015 #90

You posted a link of an old Vermont ballot. That has nothing to do with the Dem primary cui bono Jul 2015 #92

The ballot proves that they can register with a party if they so wish Sheepshank Jul 2015 #93

No it does not! I posted the link to the VT SOS page. cui bono Jul 2015 #95

If Hillary is the nominee brer cat Jul 2015 #15

No, Sanders is sincere - Trump is 100% bullshit Lil Missy Jul 2015 #40

Equating Sanders with Trump is inappropriate only so far as equaing Clinton with Bush. libdem4life Jul 2015 #46

It would make more sense to compare the 2 front runners, particularly since they are a lot closer corkhead Jul 2015 #51
