  1. Bill Maher is one of the more intelligent individuals on the left. He just can't connect with the average person which is the main problem with the left.

  2. The problem with the left is that the intelligent people on the left are out of touch with the common person. Those that try to reach out to the common person, though, are idiots. Bernie tries to reach out with the common man but people realize that his communist agenda is not the route to go. He means well (or at least pretends he does), but he is a moron. Those on the left who are intelligent can't connect with the common man. They care only about themselves and their celebrity buddies. That is why the left is losing.

  3. "So tell why a lot of Bernie's policies are so favored then" Tell me why he lost along with the people he endorsed. And tell me why people voted against a lot of policies he endorsed as well (Coloradocare lost with 80% voting against it).

  4. Bernie Sanders is a communist. He wants to destroy private businesses and create a centralized government. I am sorry that people don't understand what communism in practice is, but that is what Bernie Sanders is pushing for. I know he calls himself a "democratic socialist", but consider what N. Korea actually calls themselves. Is there anything democratic about their country? When small business owners approached Bernie regarding his policies he has vilified them. He has no concern about their income, their business model, how many people they employ, their expenses, etc. All he cares about is them following the rules he creates. And if they can't follow them they have to shut down and all of those workers will have to receive government assistance. A great example is in the debate against Ted Cruz when that hair salon owner asked Bernie about Obamacare and expanding her business Bernie simply said "I'm sorry, but you have to give them healthcare". He had no concern about her income, expenses, revenue, how many employees are full time vs part times, etc. When Herman Cain approached Bill Clinton about Clinton's healthcare bill Clinton at least showed concern about Cain's business and used numbers to support his case. I am sorry, but if you can't see that Bernie is a communist and can't see that with the clear difference between how Sanders acts towards businesses and how Clinton acts, then you are delusional. He is a communist.

  5. "We believe he lost because of corruptiom in the government. we elect people to vote on things and often times the stuff coming into law is not what people agree with. someone can be popular and lose in a system like this." Just because something is popular does not mean it is the best route for the country to take. And if it is popular then it should be passed at the state level. That was the design of this country. "also, bermie sanders would not be considered a communist under any official political placement. he wouldnt even really be a socialist. communism is complete economic equality, what bernie sanders supports is transfer of wealth to the poor through various policies." Read my comment where I compared Bill Clinton to Bernie Sanders. Both supported transfer of wealth with certain policies. Difference is that Clinton understood that resources are limited, and that the private sector is important. Bernie vilifies private businesses and has no concern about their income, revenue, business model, lifestyles, etc. You can sit there and have a discussion on whether or not a business model is good, or discuss how much revenue they generate and come up with policies to progress our society based on that. Bernie, however does not do that. He supports the arbitrary number of 50 employees being when a business has to pay for healthcare insurance. And his justification is that the employees can get sick, and that it must be done. He pushes for a $15/hr min. wage with no justification for that. He pushes for all these business regulations and when approached about it by a small business owner he diverts the conversations to "millionaires and billionaires". He has no concern about his business model or revenue. There is a clear difference between supporting the transfer of wealth and what Bernie supports. He has shown he has no concern about learning about business and different models and the revenue they generate and expenses they have. If he did he would bring that up in debates. He hasn't. When pressed on the issues he diverts the attention to "millionaires and billionaires" and "the 1%" and "big corporations". His only concern is expansion of the federal government which makes him a communist.

  6. Mckenzie .Latham, many states have assisted suicide. The topic is highly debated and I have no clue how it is a part of this topic of how people don't support Bernie or his communist agenda. I guess we can make it legal under him when the economy suffers and people are starving waiting in breadlines. Also, most politicians are rich. If you are going to complain about that then you are not going to enjoy politics. Trump reached out to the common man. Democrats didn't. Bernie tried, but again, people do not support communism.

  7. "You're a fuckin moron. Communism and Socialism ARE NOT the same thing. " It depends. Socialist policies can work at the local level where you in a small community can see if you are getting your money's worth and if people are actually producing. On the larger scale it is difficult and more people can slip through the crack and more money is wasted. People will refuse to produce because why should I work hard when 1. a lot of my earnings will be taken away 2. the government is promising me all these things So when people stop working the government has to force people to produce which leads to communism in development.

  8. Kyle is an idiot. The problem with the left is clear. The one person trying to reach out to the common man is Bernie, however he is a moron when it comes to policies. This is the same man who said breadlines were good and can't justify or defend his positions when pressed. Others on the left that can justify their positions have lost touch with the common man and only care about themselves and their celebrity buddies. The democratic party is in shambles and needs reform. Going farther left is not the answer.
