All things about Bernie aside from the socialistic views which I know drive conservatives mad, point to a person who is looking out for people like you and me. One of his key talking points is that the congress is totally corrupt and only works in the interests of giant corporations who have lobbyists. Normal people's issues are just about ignored. Furthermore his talking points have stayed exactly the same since day one of his entry into public office.
Do you want more wars in the name of who's God is better or do you want peace and a more empowered middle class ?

I have a busy day today so I can't respond to why you think this guy is Chairman Mao, but I urge you to not get your info about him from Fox News and maybe read a little about him from a non biased source(if there is one anymore)

Yes, I realize some socialism is present even in my vision of how the government should run.

Bernie Sanders would take that a lot farther, which is why he proudly identifies as a socialist.

He's a rumpled old pervert (famously wrote that women fantasize about being gang raped) with totalitarian inclinations.

"One of his key talking points is that the congress is totally corrupt and only works in the interests of giant corporations"

Yes, that is a common liberal talking point. Yet all of Sanders' top donors, are labor unions. So why is it wrong for Hilary to take huge $$ from Citibank, but it's swell for Bernie to take similar $$ from labor unions? You telling me that if Bernie gets elected, that's not going to be a huge windfall for the unions? He is beholden to the unions just as Hilary would be beholden to Citigroup.
