Bernie's doing an AMA on Reddit tomorrow (5/19) at 4pm est

[merrily]

17. Here's my take. People, regardless of party, have certain wants and needs in common.

They want a habitable, safe place to live and the ability to feed and clothe their families. They want air that won't make their elders or children sick. They want sufficient drinkable water. They want medical care. They want peace, not war, though they do want to feel as though they are safe from attacks.

After basic survival, it's probably good, affordable education for their kids. Maybe then, it's at least a few extras now and again for the kids and the family.

And, unless you are an heir or heiress or are being supported by one, the above usually takes a job that pays a decent wage, so you want that and a safe workplace.

After that, it's all gravy. However, polls show the majority Americans, and often the vast majority, favor liberal policies (as long as no one uses the word, LOL!

A lot of money, smoke and mirrors have gone into pretending that politicians don't knows the above. They do.

And, few of us like to be deceived.

So, it's no wonder that Bernie appeals to people across the board.
