Quote:How so? To me, Bernie is pretty much a phony. If he were a socialist he'd be advocating governmental control of the means of production; control of utilities and mass transportation. Have you heard Bernie talk about any of that? I haven't. He knows if he did so he'd get even less votes than he does now. He's getting support now because a lot of people with little stake in the game think it's fun to play leftist. And they know Hillary is no leftist (although she'll partner with any group that will assist in her getting elected.)


Bernie has a great gig up in tiny Vermont. His staff answers the mail and I'm sure he helps the elderly get their Social Security. Other than that what's he ever done? What's he got to lose? Hey - minimum wage of $20/hr! Why not! Free health care! Why not! Free college! Why not! How do we pay for it? Tax the rich!!!


He's having the time of his life. He owes nothing to the Democratic Party and he probably wouldn't mind seeing Trump win so he can say I told you so.


That opinion is fine, but that argument can occur in other threads.


Who do you respect that differs from your own political opinions? Doesn't even have to be a politician or poster. I think someone said Bill O'Reilly, which is fine too.
