Let me guess, a millennial?

This piece of excrement needs a double-bag barf alert.

emil looks too young...to be a millenial....to my eye

here we see emil..performing Walk On The WIld SIde...a favorite of pretenders who live and perform...in mommies basement

[eyeamok]

Maybe Emil should go on a fact finding mission to Venezuela and Cuba to see up front and personal how HIS IDEAS play out in the real world, I WILL PAY FOR THE AIRFARE! in fact it should be a Requirement for EVERY High School Graduate to spend 2 weeks there, just to see how their Wonderful Teacher’s ideals look when implemented.

So, I will now address the groups of people that somehow remarkably make saying "this old white heterosexual American man whose platform is entirely in touch with most of mainstream American politics should be President" a weird, taboo thing to say.

Translation, NEVER MIND THE CIS-GENDER PRIVILEGE, VOTE FOR THE PUTZ ALREADY!

Can I see your SAT’s and grades to get into Columbia? Didn’t think so....

Bernie seems like the kind of guy you’d like to go have a beer or two with, unlike Hillary he seems like an actual human being and it would be fun to argue politics with him. Then stick him with the tab, cuz “to each according to his needs” and I needs free beer.

[GeronL]

This person is a teenager and still in college? or high school?

[a fool in paradise]

Don't make it about socialism either, now. FDR and Martin Luther King, Jr. both got called socialists in their day, so good luck arguing that it's a step in the wrong direction, Sanders just happens to use the label.

Translation: Don't listen to the critics who call him a Socialist, even if that IS what he calls himself.

[Libloather]

An ‘independent’ socialist. Kinda defeats the purpose - no?

[a fool in paradise]

Also, one quick thing, he's a democratic socialist. There's a difference. One word. An entire word that references a completely different set of policies, a different set of foreign examples.

"Why was the NAZI party called the National Socialist Democratic Workers Party and why do people want Socialism?"

THAT'S supposed to make me feel better, that he's a "Democratic Socialist Democrat"???

Granted, the U.S. has had a major issue with communism in the past century, and communists tends to associate themselves with socialism, and some people argue that it's difficult to get Americans to even understand the difference between the two.

Never mind Communist Party USA's endorsement of Bernie Sanders. Really. Totally different. Look, a squirrel!

I located this link through a CPUSA post on Facebook:

Bernie Sanders goes into action for real shared sacrifice

http://peoplesworld.org/bernie-sanders-goes-into-action-for-real-shared-sacrifice/

and there is this:

2014 Elections: A Framework for Struggle to Turn the Tide

http://www.cpusa.org/2014-elections-a-framework-for-struggle-to-turn-the-tide/

Sen. Bernie Sanders is considering a run for President in 2016 "to educate, organize and mobilize the working families of our country to stand up for their rights." He wants to continue to shift the debate away from austerity to the idea that "we need to make government work for all the people, not just the 1 percent."

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, right. I'm going to be lectured to on socialism by a kid with his head as full of crap as his diaper. Because I've never heard any of this malarkey before.

That said, I'd love to see the Dems run Bernie Sanders with the full backing of the gushing, hyperventilating media. I could use the laughs.

“Ted Cruz joked about beating his wife at a campaign event”

As if NO ONE has ever heard the gotcha question “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?” before.

Stalinists not only play dumb, they ARE dumb.

Excellent video showing the lead-up to the market crash in 2008, how Bush and McCain tried to prevent it, and how instrumental Bernie Sanders was in blocking their efforts.

>>> marched with Martin Luther King, Jr <<<

MLK would be considered an Uncle Tom today.
BTW - Isn't Vermont one the whites states in the union? Just saying Bernie needs to get more diversified.

Emil...a socialist is just a communist without the courage of his convictions.

See when communist fail, they have no one to blame but themselves because they own the means of production and it was their plan that did not work.

Socialist do not own the means of production, but they do force their unworkable plan on those who do own the means of production. That way, when their plan fails, as it always does, they can blame those mean owners of the means of production. Those socialists have figured out to screw things up without having to take the blame. It's always someone elses' fault with socialists.

[Terry L Smith]

Dear Communist,

Why don’t you take the Socialist Sanders with you back to the hellhole you came from, and oh yeah, your horse, too!
