Nothing about Bernie is "revolutionary" [View all]

It is basically tax the rich people and create a bazillion programs to take the deficit up to some $70 trillion.

It has previously been described as "class warfare" and it is nothing new.

The free college tuition and education debt relief was great to get the students to rallies (which were ALWAYS held on or near a campus) but it failed to attract working people who either have never been to college or have paid off their student debts already.

Those are divisive policies.

Medicare for all (or a single payer system) was championed by Ted Kennedy since the 60's.

Obama proposed the environmental policy and he even called it a "green new deal"

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