Bernie is a lovable seasoned Independent senior Senator. His heart is good. He's not rich, but not broke. I love him because he says with no hesitation or fear of reprisal that we have a rigged economy. He doesn't just low key the Wall Street/Governmental Love affair and keep collecting his check. I doubt if he's absent much to miss voting on controversial bills in the Senate or House for many years before. (Ala absentee at large Marco Rubio yes and even my favorite president after Lincoln, Barack Obama).

Anytime I hear someone say "Well he's a SOCIALIST", I cringe. Like "Holy Shit" not a socialist. Corporate Moguls, Conservative Candidates, Political Bosses and even "suckered in" middle class workers blue and especially white collared have preached and been preached to that Socialism is Bad. Sure Russia, China and even the biggest enemy of the right wing, Cuba started out calling themselves Socialists. Then once in total power became Totalitarian dictatorships and after being tired of a sluggish non growth economy with outrageous defense budgets switched to the beloved Capitalism form. Anytime a grape picker, coal miner, homeless citizen (the list is much longer) mentions they'd like more pay or benefits or shorter work hours, they're branded Socialist in the hope that the general public will just dismiss them as kooks.

I see nothing wrong with the concept of dynasties with billions of dollars being legislated to pony up more dough to benefit the much less privileged American citizens with free or very very low co-pay medical insurance, college tuitions (I loved that Bernie idea. Wall Street pays for everybody without dough to get educated, because the American public had to fork over their hard earned cash at George Dubya's direction to bail out the addicted Banker/gamblers. Too bad Bernie's campaign couldn't raise enough money from everyday Americans to compete properly with Hillary's war chest.

Bernie is not a Socialist; he's a full blown Communist, but there's no way he can do the things he says he's going to do without a Legislature which supports him. I guess that makes him just another lying politician who breaks campaign promises.

Our country needs to get out of the war game. There is too much money to be made on more military, and we need to help our more unfortunate at home. I love Bernie, and think he brought new ideas to light. I think a whole lot of people do not admit to sharing his ideas. If the working poor, vote, maybe he can win. Let's see what the summer brings.

I don't care if he is a Socialist, i think too many poor people in our country is a wake up call to major changes coming. If he can't stay in, I will vote for Trump or Clinton.

Man runs for president as Democrat, fails to convince followers to register as Democrats. Loses. In politics for 40 years, and he didn't see that coming? Yuge mistake.

So Bernie's Marching To The Sea and will run as an independent and the lamestream democrats are just going to have to sweat it out. Have fun Todd!

Let's just hope that everyone who is "feeling the Bern" actually shows up at the fucking mid terms and votes this time. Are all his supporters too young to remember 2008-2010? I recall the same religious following with Obama (which i was a part of), and many similar goals... Then everyone went back to sleep after the general election, while the opposition got fired up and put the ca bosh on anything pro active . Learn Learn Learn People!!!

I may never say this again, but California gives me hope...

Please wait...
