i just have trouble taking Bernie seriously. He's a career politician. maybe he has had an epiphany, maybe he has seen the light. when he starts making SIZABLE donations to charities, when he sells off one of his homes and gives the proceeds to homeless shelters, then i'll take his rhetoric about poverty more seriously

Right! Only you understand this.

Everyone else is wrong. :roll:


:mrgreen:
Then by all means, dazzle us with your brilliant thoughts on the subject.

Millions are suffering across our country and somehow the only people who bring up the issue are getting shit on by the local commentariat.

For shame!

Bernie’s grandstanding, he’s no spearhead of anything, he’s half dead, how do you see any future in this barely animated corpse?

when you have 100 devils, do you trust the one that suddenly develops a social conscience? especially when it seems that one is only paying lip service, while continuing to stick a pitchfork in your ass?

So you just support the bigger and even more corrupt shithead?

The notion that one has to BE poor to care about them is ridiculous.

Mr Sanders is far, far less wealthy than the average US Senator, so what's your (arbitrary) cutoff of acceptable wealth? Why shouldn't someone at retirement age have a healthy nest egg? It doesn't show greed, it shows responsibility and any aspersions to the contrary reflect the bias of the finger pointer rather than the facts.

Why don't you hold the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein to a similar standard, considering both are also career politicians and both are far more wealthy?

Bernie is obviously trying to drum up another beach house before he kicks the bucket.
Right. How many billionaires are in the Chump's cabinet, again?

Bernie is barely worth a million or two, a frankly modest figure for someone who's reached retirement age.

Bashing on his wealth is hypocritical as fuck, and shows how little valid issues there are to criticise him on.

He's not perfect but he's a lot better than pretty much anyone else on Capitol Hill, nevermind on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Why isn't Bernie out there on the front lines for his fellow progressives running for office?
