(978 posts)What is it about Bernies social media supporters? Are they all in uniform attack mode?
That they are sceptical to anyone taking the dough from Wall Street?
As far as internet goes, it's an ugly world onto itself. Projecting that over to Bernie is...as i said a bit short sited. And then others come and accuse his supporters for being racist, and "elitist", it seems that balance has been restored after all that "Hillary bashing".
But there is one thing to take into consideration. Most people are sick and tired of political monarchies. And to make Bernie into some Manchurian Candidate, is wrong. Anyone who's ever seen the big bicture over the last 30-40 years have seen that more and more democrats have gone away from the FDR plattform, have grown spineless, or just plain bought like the republicans.
Many considers Hillary to be a corporate democrat who only AFTER Sanders threw himself into the campaign that she started to speak meekly about the same things as Bernie. She does not sound sincere. She doesn't have open rallies.
Her other weakness is her lack of will to answer questions straight. She doesn't speak with people or listen to them. She speaks over them.
She is like the strict principal whom everybody is a bit afraid of. Bernie is like the cool teacher that everybody loves. If anything, he also reminds me of my deseased grandfather who passed away when I was freezing and alone at Christmas in Ireland. I trust wisdom, honesty and courage.
(Pardon for the emotiona digression)
And he is not establishment. And he is right on line with the Roosevelts regarding economical policies.
If I may come with a few words of foreshadowing; the future of your country lies withing the democratic primaries.
It will be your choice. Will you go for more money in politics, or will you go for a fundamental reform before you do anything else?
