Yougov comes out with first post-debate poll. Sample size is 10x the previous yougov poll. Relative to previous yougov poll, Sanders up 4 points, Warren up 3 points, Bloomberg up 1 point, Biden down 1 point. Bottom line - yougov keeps favoring Warren (in contrast with the other polls, which have shown her support stuck at just over 10%), continues raising its Sanders numbers in line with the other polls.

He’s not wrong.

But I can guarantee you two things:

1) He thinks things are fine there that most of us don’t.

2) He has no self awareness that the principle he states applies to capitalism in general, and to the modern United States in particular.

It is truly unfortunate that none of them ever move to the Socialist Paradises. Instead, they want to create the Socialist Paradise here.

It’s one of the great mysteries of the universe.

It so GREAT, Bernie should buy a house in Cuba and live there. Cuba has excellent healthcare for the elderly - it is to die for. /s

Well thenloe is because they want to liberate peoples here.

The truth is they want to be in power in the inner party here, they can’t go down there and just walk in and expect to run things.

America could have said FU Stalin and told him after WWII that his Reds can immediately go back to their mother country but we gave Stalin mostly everything he could ever dream of.That SOB Kennedy could have eliminated that bastard Castro but balked. There are consequences in all parts of history. Now we have this POS COMMUNIST who very well may become our next PRESIDENT!!!!!

The UN says that Cuba is the most eco friendly country on Earth. So, there's that.

When you don't have anything, you recycle everything... Oh, and it's America's fault.

Re: While Sanders said in the new interview he “condemns” any human rights violations Castro committed,.....

So exactly when did Bernie even begin to condemn human rights violations of his beloved comrade Castro or any other beloved communist dictator?When he runs for president and has to sound slightly more moderate.

Bolshevik Bernie is right. After all, don’t forget that he didn’t kill, torture, maim or imprison everyone in Cuba. Ya gotta give that to Fidel.

Mussolini made the trains run on time.

Hitler built the Autobahn.

Stalin had the best food lines.

“He had a massive literacy program.”

Isn’t that just another word for having schools?
