Would RATS be stupid enough to allow Bernie to run as a RAT for 2020 ?

” “...fund hundreds of projects throughout the United States aimed at addressing priorities such as infrastructure, health care, the environment, education and other goals. ... every American would be entitled to a job under one of these projects or receive job training to be able to do so, according to an early draft of the proposal.”
“The 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. George McGovern (D-SD), ran on a similar platform and lost 49 states. Go, Bernie, go!”

Bad news.
The electorate of 2020 is not the electorate of 1972. McGovern would not far ENOUGH Left for today’s Democrats. On that platform, Bernie would have a good shot at the Democrat nomination and the White House.

... and the only two jobs there will be to choose from will be the only two real jobs that Bernie ever tried and failed at: 1. registering people for food stamps, and 2. construction.

These socialists are all for redistributing our money....but not theirs. The third house Bernie bought only cost $600k. Maybe he should sell it and give the money to the poor and then he might have some credibility.

Usually the candidate uses his own resources to buy votes. Crazy Bernie is seeking to use the voters own money to buy their votes.

Didn’t the old USSR have a jobs for all program? Give a nation enough time with a jobs for all program and you will not need military might to bring it down. It self destructs. Who needs missiles when you have jobs for all to decimate the village.

What was amazing is, he’s an independent and the RATs let him into their nominating process.

Just a cleverly disguised way of giving the government control over all jobs. Government = sole employer = communism.

“Consider where it has been tried.”

I can think of some bloody, brutal, costly and hard-core ‘revolutions’ that were fought to throw off JUST such an exploitative, dehumanizing and feudalistic system.

Bernie is a regular half-wit

There’s always plenty of work to be done under communist tyranny. Hand digging mass graves for example.

It’s universal basic income by a different name, the scam that just failed in Finland. But bernie will explain the failure saying that it wasn’t implemented by the right people. His plan to pay for the scam is pure fiscal genius: He’ll pay the government loafers $15 an hour and tax them $20 an hour.

Amazing how many young people latched on to this old fool.

Whenever I experience a glimmer of optimism or hope for the future of the country, I’m sobered by facts like this, including the fact that BH0 was elected POTUS twice, and that the radical-Left Dems hold as many seats as they do in both houses of Congress.

Including my grandson during the 2016 election....he went for it.....”Mister free-everything.” I can’t wait for grandson to get out in the work force for real after finishing college.

As are most of his felonious schemes, this is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth—OURS. Where do government wages come from? OUR taxpayer monies. I strongly suspect that the holders of such make-work jobs would be barely functional in their new positions, probably rarely showing up or doing productive work, which is why they had no jobs to begin with.

Wait, hasn't that already been tried? The Great Society programs launched more than 50 years ago by President Lyndon Johnson had similar goals. They have so far cost a collective $22 trillion. While those programs include Medicare and Medicaid, which are long overdue for reform, the poverty rate in America is roughly the same as it was in the mid-1960s.

Yeah, well, you see, we haven't had the "right" people in charge yet!

I was dumb enough to vote for Mr. Magoo in 1972...

I smartened up later on in life...
