We fucking know that Bernie's platform is not "new". It would be new to American money-grubbing politics, that's what would be new. Just because you already heard his proposals in your first two weeks of Sociology - does not mean his proposals are worthless. Maybe you should take introductory logic. And - you are deliberately cherry-picking to deflect. The point is not that they are 'new", the point is that they would benefit the people, and that we do have the money for them.

And polls have shown a majority of Americans agree with Bernie's proposals.
