Reddits obsession with bernie sanders is fucked. Literally anything that man says gets plastered on here as if he can do no wrong.

What about Bernie Sanders don't you like besides the fact that a lot of people on this site like him?

[–]Benislav 27ポイント28ポイント  (14子コメント)

This guy isn't going to respond to you. There's nothing close to what he's trying to portray going on here. Sanders is a significantly different candidate to what we're accustomed to, and he's leading a fair campaign with honesty and without vitriol. I have no idea what you could honestly find so terrible about this guy.

My guess is he's from the right and doesn't like leftist politicians being popular, so a person running for president of the United States (an extremely important role warranting mass publicity) gaining mass publicity on Reddit is "worship". Ridiculous.

I'm not OP but I'll bite. I don't hate the guy. He has some weird ideas about taxes and securities, but my biggest problem with him is that he's a completely unrealistic candidate. Here's my reply from elsewhere in the thread:

Dude I'm pretty hesitant to hop on the bernie sanders band wagon. There's so much left that he hasn't even touched on. Sure he's got some nice ideas about social issues (although they're a tad idealistic, I mean he hasn't suggested a single way that he could accomplish them, just that he's going to change things), but what is his foreign policy? How is he going to deal with minority issues? I mean vermont is nice and all but it's just about the most homogenous state in the US and I don't think they really export anything internationally. The guy literally has zero experience in most areas that the president has to deal with, especially compared to Bush who was the governer of Florida, and Clinton who has been the senator of NY and the secretary of state. Compared to all of his competitors he's underqualified, underexperienced, and not to mention old as fuck. If he gets elected he'll be pushing 80 by the time he gets out of his first term (which would make him the oldest president in history). Presidency is a high stress job that takes a toll on people. Just google before and after pictures of two term presidents, it looks like they aged 20 years in the span of 8. If I'm being frank, I'm not certain that Sanders would survive four years in office, which means that he's going to need a damn good VP before I'll even consider voting for him. I hate to rain on the Bernie Sanders parade but lets be realistic. A 74 year old self proclaimed socialist from Vermont is not going to win the presidency. The only reason it seems like he has a chance is because reddit's user base is predominately in their teens and 20s so there's a skew towards ultra liberal idealistic candidates.

Clinton had to step down as Secretary of State for health reasons bruh. The stress of dealing with a real 3am call in the morning broke her.

I find his 0.5% transaction tax on stock, bonds, and others to be horrendous, among his "trades are bad" type of attitudes.

But don't worry about the details. It is simpler to just listen to the rhetorical.

[–]QuantumStasis 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

He responded. But keep pretending that he's just an upset conservative if that makes you feel better.

[–]l3lC 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

The fact he clearly has never read an economics book. The radical left is not the solution to the radical right.

[–]Zero5urvivers [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

"Radical" right is an oxymoron. The word you are looking for is "Reactionary" for the far right.

[–]TUXPANDA 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

First of all you wrote your comment before realizing the parent commenter stated he was going to type a larger response later. Also I don't think Bernie is going to get the nomination honestly. Hillary has more support in the polls right now, and he complete left making it very hard for him to even win the election even if he gets the nomination.

His views on feminism, white guilt, and immigration, to name a few, are all fucked. That being said, his want to take money out of politics and not being a mouthpiece for corporations will still get him my right leaning vote. Probably.

[–]ThePaintballDemon 10ポイント11ポイント  (6子コメント)

I don't agree with a lot of his policy. I'll elaborate in a reply when I get home from work!

[–]VictorVonDAMN 6ポイント7ポイント  (5子コメント)

I think it has more to do with reddit seeing him as the best option from both sides of the aisle.

[–]Auxilae 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

If you think conservatives will vote for Sanders, I believe you forgot to take your medication this morning. A person calling themselves a "conservative" and publicly announcing that they are voting for Sanders isn't a conservative. 85% of what Sanders believes in goes strictly against what conservatives believe in. If you think you have been a conservative for most of your life, but are voting for Sanders, then your political views have drastically changed. Socialism and conservatism are near polar opposites.

People fail to realize that politicians lie all the time to get votes, and all parties do it. Politi-fact list for

When Sanders says he will make all colleges free, huge red flags should be going on in your head. There is a saying of "If its too good to be true, it most likely is". So far, everything Sanders is pushing for is falling under that saying. He is calling for too many radical changes that will drastically hurt people who own any amounts of money, including investors. Investors of which, make America have the strongest economy in the world.

When Sanders says he will make all colleges free, huge red flags should be going on in your head.

Why? It would require drastic restructuring, tax increases and perhaps the elimination of the Pell Grant system, but it isn't like it hasn't been successfully pulled off before in different countries. We actually have the tax base to pull it off better than any European country. Outright rejecting it because it sounds too good to be true just sounds like lazy cynicism to me.

[–]Auxilae 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

No, its not lazy cynicism. We don't support it right now because it means instead of people paying extreme tuition prices, the government will instead. That doesn't solve the real problem at hand, out of control tuition increases. The lazy thing is to force the government to pay the bill, instead of passing legislation that will attempt to control and reduce it. Doesn't that seem like a better idea than just having across the board tax hike increases?

[–]kchoze -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

Actually, his plan is for making PUBLIC colleges and universities free, not all of them. The private colleges are the ones that charge the most insane tuition, and they wouldn't be affected.

I think that if one cares about equality of chances and about the quality of graduates, then reducing tuition to a minimum by having the government pick the tab is the best idea. Society benefits from the best minds having access to higher education, and not just the wealthiest minds. Handicapping your skilled labor force with tens of thousands of dollars in debt right when they start their adult life is also pure lunacy.

[–]Auxilae [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Law of unintended consequences: If colleges are free, what over watch is there? People could just go there for free and knowingly not even try. Think of it like high school. If college is free, then those people who don't really care are going to be there aswell. Parents will force their children to attend, much like high school. That ruins the college experience, there should be a cost of going there so you atleast put forth effort. Another consequence: many people pick up minimum wage jobs in order to support their low tuition rates for public colleges. Now that it's free, there is less of a reason to pick up a job. Yet another unintended consequence is the fact that many of them would be overcrowded. My local community college is not free, and signing up for classes is difficult and you are wait-listed every so often. This would be multiplied immensely if they were outright free.

Well, it's not so much Bernie Sanders, but such a lack of pluralism. We almost never see positive stuff about most Republicans, even when they talk about issues Reddit generally agrees with, such as privacy. Rand Paul got a couple articles after a filibuster on drones and another on NSA Spying. That's mostly it.

[–]Fix_Inequality 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

What other positive things are there to say about Republicans? They're trying to appeal Obamacare for the 50th time? As you said, when they post stuff redditors agree with, it gets up voted. When you have Ted Cruz calling net neutrality Obamacare for the Internet, you're not going to get a lot of support here.

[–]IAmAShitposterAMA -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thing about Rand Paul is he's a lot like a shit-banana smoothie.

Sure, the 20% banana is nice but the 80% butthole paste isn't so nice.

[–]LeonCloud11 -4ポイント-3ポイント  (3子コメント)

He is the new Ron Paul

[–]dudecoolhat 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Which makes no sense to me considering their almost opposite economic views

[–]SnoozerHam 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

It seems like young people don't necessarily love him and Paul because of their economic views, but because they are so open and honest about what it is they stand for. And they both actually agree on a lot of issues that align with most Millennials (ending overseas wars, government surveillance, etc).
