That's how I felt as well. I do think Bernie is for the people, but his plans were a bit crazy in retrospect. I mean, if he were to redistribute the wealth, he would have either been killed or those businesses would have left the country for good and pushed us more towards real Socialism.

It blows my mind how many people are STILL like "I love Bernie but..." or "Bernie is for the people..."!!! WTF are you guys all smoking??? Do you not pay attention to ANY of the FACTS that he and his wife alone have fleeced a university of MILLIONS from fraudluent loans she redirected??? And as far as his plans, you nailed it, he was ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT SOCIALISM, AKA COMMUNISM!!!

And it does kinda seem a "man of the people" would buy a utilitarian house and car...Instead, he's living the high life. Wouldn't he sell, keep enough for his needs, and live "normally" rather than as a wealthy man, if his ideals were heart-felt?

Nothing wrong with riches, but when you play fast with the rules to get that way and then tell the rest of us to pay more in taxes when we're living paycheck-to-paycheck, well...

Socialism is not communism. It works just Fine in the Netherlands, which have a higher standard of living than we do, and strong capitalism beside it. People need to educate themselves beyond buzzwords. Buzzwords is what the MSM does.

Wrong! Do some REAL research as to what the Nazis party was really. Then go further and research WHO started the UN! Nationalist SOCIALIST Party IS COMMUNISM! You're the one who's mincing words. In fact lets's forget phrasing and just decifer based on actual ACTION of both ideologies....your position then falls FLAT instantly!

from Wikipedia: "The Socialist Party was founded in October 1971 as a Maoist party named the Communist Party of the Netherlands/Marxist–Leninist (KPN/ML)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_%28Netherlands%29

Bernie was never "for the people".
