Yea but what bernie is talking about is hardly "far" left.. we currently have ALL the same programs that he wants, we just pump that money into a small group of people, rather than everyone else, small groups that dont even pay taxes.
its a broken and corrupt system were trying to fix, not some Utopian new idea.
this is like econ 101 stuff its like 1950s shit... this isnt some radical new deal

Which is exactly why he's the best candidate. His #1 priority, restoring the integrity of our electoral process and addressing inequality, is a very reasonable, moderate, and realistically achievable goal. And it's one that is unique to him. He's the only candidate that isn't owned by corporations or otherwise driven by business interests.
What Patriam and my post was talking about was more abstract criticisms of the ideological foundation of Bernie's policies, which likely would never even come into play because Bernie is simply incapable of implementing changes that big when congress is owned by republicans and most Americans are bootstrappers.
