39. Socialism kills innovation.

In order to have M4A, free college, wiped away debt for medical and student loans, the housing plan Bernie has and an aggressive Climate policy taxes are going to have to be raised on everyone. EVERYONE, not just the top and by a lot. Bernie also talks about public utilities and even media. I don't think Bernie can get any of what he says done. In my opinion his rhetoric (that's all it is, rhetoric) will hurt real progress being made.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I guess since Bernie has better policies this is where he thinks DanTex Jan 2020 #15
I guess people can hold than two concepts at once. LanternWaste Jan 2020 #18
In theory, but doesn't seem to be happening in this race. DanTex Jan 2020 #20
The Blue Wave contradicts you. Again. R B Garr Jan 2020 #29
You're illustrating my point, with that non-issue-based argument. DanTex Jan 2020 #30
No, you are twisting the obvious. Again. R B Garr Jan 2020 #31
However, Sanders is a Democrat when it is useful for him to be one. MineralMan Jan 2020 #19
As is Bloomberg. But I'd say voters care more about issues than labels. DanTex Jan 2020 #21
Some voters do, anyhow. MineralMan Jan 2020 #24
Fair enough. And you're right, the party loyalty voters will go for Biden probably. DanTex Jan 2020 #26
I bet voting for third party candidates like Bernie's staff R B Garr Jan 2020 #37

Joe, Sanders is not your competition. You should be attacking Bloomberg liskddksil Jan 2020 #22
He was asked a question about Sanders, not Bloomberg LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #25
On this I agree with Biden. Bernie's not a Democrat, he's running as a dem in the primary. Autumn Jan 2020 #27
