Hey Bernie! Americans Don't Want to Pay for Democrats' Absurd Projects
PJ Media ^ | 10/27/2021 | A.J. Kaufman

Sen. Bernie Sanders is an ignorant socialist. Let’s get that out of the way.

When he’s not insulting the constitution, he’s angry that his multi-trillion-dollar boondoggle is stalled, recently claiming, “Poll after poll shows overwhelming support for the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better legislation – and the need to lower prescription drug costs, expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision, greatly improve home health care, make child care and housing affordable, establish Paid Family and Medical Leave and address the existential threat of climate change.”

But in the next paragraph of his manifesto, Sanders gives away the game, noting, “Yet, polling also shows that despite President Biden having introduced this proposal five months ago, a majority of Americans have very little knowledge as to what is in this bill.”

“It is hard to ask people to have faith in their government when they have little understanding of what their government is trying to do,” he concludes.

He may be correct on the latter portion, but it also debunks his claims.

Like the calamitous Afghanistan withdrawal, a wrongheaded policy is often popular until most Americans know what’s in it.

Sanders, who never compromises, naturally does not blame himself; like Nancy Pelosi earlier this month, he blames the media for not “educating” us.

“The foundations of American democracy are threatened not only by extremism, but by ignorance and lack of knowledge,” the octogenarian argues.

Did Bernie just describe himself and his cult?

Sanders is perpetuating a myth that a massive social welfare state is popular with voters. In reality, most Americans don’t want the stuff his ilk constantly says we do.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is an ignorant socialist.

Ignorant socialist is right, but, all socialists are ignorant.

Since socialism has never worked, anywhere or anytime it's been tried, why is it that people continue to insist on implementing it. It's not just ignorance, but a mental deficiency, or just plain dumbness.

Bernie does not care anything about the American Taxpayer, he is only interested in Socialism at any cost.

Shoot Bernie. He’s a Commie.

If this were the kind of world Bernie wants he’d shoot all of us who disagree.

He’d shoot you in a heartbeat.

Never forget that.
