Sen. Bernie Sanders addressed supporters after winning the New Hampshire primary.
(snip)
Sanders name-dropped rivals Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden and Warren, promising to "unite together" to beat President Trump. "This victory here is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump."
"Our campaign is not just about beating Trump, it is about transforming this country," Sanders said.

Well, at least,
Over my dead body.
LOL!
I find his honesty and open advocacy of socialism to be refreshing.
What’s the expression?
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Bernie is perpetually angry, and there isn’t one thing about about this country he loves or even likes.
No matter what he’s talking about, he just sounds like a chronically unhappy, mean old geezer.
He’ll have his day in the sun, but he will NEVER beat Trump.
We don’t want your “transformation”. Just go off and die.
Didn’t someone once say he was going to “Fundamentally Transform America?” I think it was around 2008. Look what that got us...
If Bernie's the man - Project Veritas tapes will be included in political ads...
“that thing with the cake turns my stomach, yuck. God please have mercy and help us !
God helps those who help themselves. Donate, Freep, proselytize, phone bank...(and pray).
Then he’s just Obama 2.0 and is dead in the water. We don’t elect President’s to “transform the country” but to only honor the position as declared in the Constitution.
All we have to say now is, “he’s just like Obama but worse”. He’ll capture the socialist/communist types but I see no reason why blacks or Latino’s would vote for him.
The D’s are finished until they can change course.
There’s a good chance that Sanders, or someone quite like him, was the inspiration for that ‘Old Man Yells At Clouds’ meme.
Good G-d, Travis! What the f**k is that on the right???
Looks like it’s suffering from a wasting disease, or possibly full-blown AIDS.
Mine too.
Give me liberty, or give me death.
Seriously, dwell on that stark contrast a moment !
These days, the leftards would consider Kennedy only slightly preferable to Mussolini.
(IF they could even correctly tell you who Mussolini was)
Transforming a building with dynamite is quite simple.“Transforming this country” in a positive way is altogether a different matter, just as building a building is a different matter from blowing it to smithereens.
As a socialist, Bernie Sanders must be counted among the “Some writers,” who fit a founding era description by Thomas Paine:
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness;Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one . . .the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices.
The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions.
The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest . . . — Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)
“Socialism” would more honestly be described as governmentism - the idea that government is necessary extrapolated on the “if one’s good, two’s better” principle carried to the extreme where society and government are co-extensive, and freedom is not even a concept.Quite simply, socialists are power mad. Labeling socialism “democratic” is dishonest if it is not deeply naive.
Socialists are intemperate, in that they are cynical about society and therefore naive about government. Conservatives recognize the possibility of progress, but also the greater possibility of regress. Conservatives are therefore skeptical, and it is wrong to assume that cynicism is just “extreme skepticism.” Skepticism reflects uncertainty - and cynicism reflects negative certainty.
‘Class, where have we heard this before ?”
Oh, I remember well, it was Ovomit.....and look at the damage he did and is still doing to our country. GOD help America if this screwball EVER is elected to the Presidency......can’t you just see AOC; Omar; Talib in his cabinet. Talk about a nightmare. Of course Petie boy is no better, loves abortion up to birth and wants to de-crimialize all drugs to include meth and heroin.....wants a country of drugged out voters.
“I love you...now change...”
Into what?
A giant gulag?
