I hope The Berner wins the potus and if he loses I hope Rand Paul wins the election so this lovely garbage country can hurry up and burn to the ground.

hey sheng-ji yang. this is a question for you, because i respect you, and here are my concerns

bernie still loves drone warfare. also im like moridin's girlfriend - seriously, bernie's basic bitch support of israel disturbs me even if its just politics as usual. politics as usual on stuff like that is what makes me hesitant to place any faith in politics in the first place. i hate to be a fuckass, maybe thats my problem, but, well, here - and this is for everyone:

what makes bernie different from obama?

bernie's mild shittiness on some foreign policy issues (which are still vastly far to the left of any other candidate and 99.9% of american politicians) i think is vastly outweighed by his domestic program. sanders would be by far the most left wing president ever elected, and isn't comparable at all to BO.

just look at his platform:

https://berniesanders.com/issues/

obama had nothing like this. he openly supports worker co-ops, union growth, reversing free trade agreements, single payer healthcare, massive tax increases on the wealthy... and even if sanders was blocked at every turn by congress, he would still be a stopgap to neoliberalism, whereas obama has only been a facilitator.

i mean, sanders isn't going to give us Full Communism by a long shot, but hes probably as good as the left is going to get in the us until the next great depression.

also i feel like sanders shittiness on Israel is largely due to personal stuff, ie him being jewish and having lived in Israel in a kibbutz in the 60s.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) raised $1.5 million in the first 24 hours after announcing his 2016 presidential bid, his campaign said Friday.

According to the campaign, the contributions came from 35,000 donors, and the average donation was $43.54.

That's Super Troopers II kind of fundraising. The people want Bernie...and more Farva.

i've already succeeded in getting both of my parents and a few friends to vote for bernie in the primaries. none of them (nor myself) have ever voted in the primaries before, ever, for any election.

if we can keep up the momentum we can fuckin do this.
