Self-proclaimed socialist and progressive favorite Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) laments the idea that Americans can choose between “23 underarm spray deodorants” as children go hungry under President Obama’s economy.
“You don’t necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants when children are hungry in this country,” Sanders told John Harwood in an interview posted Tuesday.
Sanders will make his official campaign Democratic presidential announcement alongside the Ben and Jerry’s cofounders in Burlington on Tuesday.

We just need one trusted brand... Hammer and Sickle.
Well, if the poor would all get a job selling influence, like the Clintons. There would be no poor in America if our poor would just scoop up some of that cool cash, like Bill and Hillary.
Food stamps don’t exist then!
Too bad Bernie doesn’t use any of them.

So no to multiple brands of deodorant, but many different brands of ice cream are just okie dokie. Ben and Jerry’s has many many different flavors of ice cream, which is NOT a food staple....
Maybe Bernie would like it better if Ben and Jerry’s only had one flavor “Red Velvet Glove in Glorious Communist Iron Fist”
I hope Bernie Runs, because i would rather lose him and know the country is truly finished than stagger onward with the likes of Hillary or the Jebster...
You don’t need to worry a bout hydrocarbon emissions and climate change while children are going hungry!
Ben & Jerry’s Founders Back Sanders, But Parent Company Donates to Clinton Foundation
Among its donors is the Dutch-British consumer goods conglomerate Unilever, which bought Ben & Jerry’s in 2000. The company has donated between $50,000 and $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to its website.
Excellent observation.
If were up to commies like Sanders, there would be a cap on flavors for everything. Ice cream? Try vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry (if you were lucky). Though Bernie might ditch vanilla (too racist).
I’m not sure how reducing the choice of spray deodorants down to say, 2 or 3 would fill any child’s tummy.
Is he trying to say people should be buying condoms instead of underarm spray deodorants??
Only 23?
I would have guessed there were a lot more brands than that.
Yep—it is simply criminal that B&J’s offers more than just chocolate and vanilla—when there is still war, poverty, illness and death in the world.
Oddly, in my experience, the poorest children in America are almost always the fattest.
Bernie Sanders is living in a 19th century fantasy world, with a 19th century ideology, which requires him to issue 19th century fantasy solutions.
Well, then let Bernie the Bolshevik take the starving children to lunch with him, and HE CAN PAY FOR IT - after all, it’s his fair share...
Pretty sure those OTHER Socialists, Ben and Jerry, have a LOT of ice cream flavors, Senator Idiot from Vermont, the Gay State.
Perhaps we could solve the problem if the starving children were allowed to eat the obese children...
Taking that further, Bernie, you don’t need any choice of underarm deodorant while the lesser spotted olay is being massacred by businessmen to produce Oil of Olay.
That reminds me of the old All in the Family episodes, where Mike “Meathead” Stivic kvetches that people have four slice toasters that they don’t need while others live in poverty, and against products that are constantly “New and Improved” (”was it old and lousy before?”). The Marxist in him resented others having more than subsistence more than the poverty itself.
Sanders sounds like he saw the Marxist play “The Lower Depths”, and LIKED it.
Bernie - show me the check stubs where you bought strangers’ children a meal.
