well i mean they seem to be raising tuition every other week, i'd rather they lower tuition rates than donate to political campaigns

Bernie wants to make state colleges free for a minimum of two years so they're sure as poo poo not gonna donate to him. Why do you think a business operating primarily to make a profit would intentionally reduce their income?

Wait, what was that about Israel??????

He didn't vote as the sole dissenting voice in a senate resolution so single-issue "socialists" are condemning him even though he's the candidate most vocally critical of Israel.

Bernie Sanders Has Already Taken More Press Questions Than Hillary Clinton

"I believe that in a democracy, what elections are about are serious debates over serious issues," he said Thursday. "Not political gossip, not making campaigns into soap operas. This is not the Red Sox vs. the Yankees, this is the debate over major issues facing the American people."

Bernie was the first person to boycott Netanyahu's speech and is probably the only currently running candidate to criticize Israel's bombing of schools and hospitals.

it's hard not to support the Bern because his positions amount to "everyone should have a good life"

I guess I have more faith in people than some because I think many candidates want that, not just the ones I agree with. But hey showin a lot of tolerance ITT

You misrepresented him and painted him as a classist boot stepping over the poor while making empty promises. You don't get to act like the tolerant open minded guy while propagandizing in that fashion, yknow.

I felt a bunch of feelings about Obama and was actually moved to tears when he was elected, imagining me and my fellow Americans from all walks of life tending public gardens and poo poo. Now I just see him as a (somewhat more likable than usual) corporate pawn. Can someone explain to a not-very-political person why this won't happen again with my main man Bernie? Honestly my mind is already running wild with visions of all the factories moving back and everyone volunteering at after school programs and I don't want to feel stupid again :/

Obama kind of came out of nowhere and had no real context with which to judge his claims and promises. Bernie is running on essentially the same platform he's been publicly espousing since the 80s.
