False dichotomy. There are many sides - not just two.
Not even. He's a Social Democrat with positions that are close to the Nordic model.
What are you, 10?
For saying Sanders is a communist?
Or for posting a well known country song with the line:
"the bad guys always say both sides are the same"
Or perhaps you don't know what a false dichotomy is?
Are you saying that being an authoritarian is being better than marxist?
P.SYou trump supporters are like those radical Islamic preachers; you lack pragmatism.
Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has been getting away for years with describing himself as a socialist, when in reality he is an outright America-hating communist.
This belief in communism is reflected in the Sanders platform. Even a brief glance reveals his plan to be hopelessly utopian and insane. It will extinguish freedom and shutter businesses and cause widespread suffering especially among the poor people he claims to want to help. It is a program for exporting the best and the brightest to places that appreciate them.
But identifying Sanders as a communist can be a risky proposition in modern-day America. The Left so dominates American culture that the word communist itself has become jarring, not because communism is bad but instead because leftists believe communism is good.
Left-wingers are students of George Orwell. They understand that language can be used for good or ill; to advance truth or mask it. To undercut the power that that emotionally charged word communism and its variants once had in this country when used by patriots to attack the nation's foreign and domestic enemies, the Left over time reversed its polarity. Over and over and over again in the culture, leftists drove home the false notion that communists were boogeymen invented by those who wished to control the population through fear. Another way of putting it is to say that the Left marginalized its own word in order to protect the profoundly antisocial idea it represents.

No he is trying to convince you that there is a difference between a politician and a psychopath.
P.S there is no difference.
Sanders is on record endorsing plenty of dumb ideas. He wrote in the 1970s that the country was close to experiencing a nuclear apocalypse or "death by poison gas." He claimed cervical cancer was caused by women not experiencing enough orgasms.
There is a Trump lead in. It short circuits brains. It makes them go crazy. We can talk about Bernie's Menshevism but not when you've triggered PTSD symptoms of Trump sufferers in the forum. Their poor amygdalas are raging. Rat psychology in deed. They hit that "post quick reply" bar and get that emotional release that only a Trump thread can give.And btw - this is a Sanders thread.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is running for the Democratic nomination for president, represents everything wrong with the populist redistributist left. Channeling his inner Hugo Chavez in an interview with CNBC, Sanders bemoaned the choice of deodorant and sneakers in this country, because children are starving. Via CNBC:
You can't just continue growth for the sake of growth in a world in which we are struggling with climate change and all kinds of environmental problems. All right? You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country. I don't think the media appreciates the kind of stress that ordinary Americans are working on.
I'm not a trump supporter. Way to steer discussion away from Sanders being a communist.

Only a few companies produce all that stuff though right? "These 10 Companies Control The World's Food:" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/17/companies-control-food_n_5684782.html

Sanders quit the LUP in 1979 and was elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont. During his decade in office he displayed a Soviet flag in his mayoral office and claimed he did so to honor Yaroslavl, Burlington's sister city in the U.S.S.R. In addition, he made Puerto Cabezas in Communist Nicaragua another sister city of Burlington.
Provde it, (mod edit)?

Reason is insulting other candidates for not being politically consistent, the last two presidential candidates Trump has endorsed have been Clinton and Romney.
You Trump supporters can't read behind the lines. Do you think libertarianism is about supporting state enforced discrimination between minorities? Yes or No?Another (mod edit)that rather insult then reason.
My point is if you wanted to talk about Bernie's Mensheviks then you'd have better luck without the Trump bait unless you are just trolling the forum.Every candidate talks about the other candidates, that does not make any political story you choose about any candidate you want.
Nice.
