Bernie Sanders
Wikipedia
Sanders is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history. A self-described democratic socialist,[6][7][8][9] he favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries.[10][11][12]


His record shows some positions somewhat close to those of the Pirate Party of northern Europe and Iceland.

The Bernie-burns-out death watch, maybe when it happens, he’ll land on top of Hillary and we’ll have two wiped off the political map.

"[...allusion to "Back to the Future"]...If you find this "heart-warming" and you're not a stoned 22 year-old then seek medical attention... "

The movie was released in 1985, thirty years ago. A 10-year-old who saw it back then would be 40. A 20-year-old would be 50. You know that you're getting old, when...

Yep, my liberal teaching colleague already told me he’s for Bernie Sanders [eye roll}. All I could say in reply was, “Well, I’m not.” It’s a waste of time arguing with a true libtard.

I guess this is a natual consequence of the “extended childhood” wherein (many) take 6 years or more to complete a bachelors degree and then graduate to Mom & Dad’s basement and a job at Starbucks. They don’t date, but rather run in packs. It all feeds the group-think.

We were the same way when we were that age, but the sheer length of this period now has got todays “youths” participating in this dynamic until they are practically 30. They don’t begin to decompress until then, whereas we were already working in meaningful jobs with older people and dealing with the expectations of “the real world”.
