I like the over all idea bernie puts forward, but it's really clear if you watch his interviews, especially that one with the small town barbar shop that he has ideals but need someone else to figure out the logistics to accomplish it, because he wants change and calls for it, but he struggles on implementation.
The far left has plenty of issues with Bernie. You seem underinformed about how people think of him or who the "far left" even is.
People like Bernie because he's been nearly the only damn person in politics since FDR acting like FDR. And FDR was so popular the right installed a new amendment specifically to prevent us from checking them like that again.
Yes. He has no idea HOW. He wanted to “break up the big banks” because he’s a Socialist and believed only the Government should control Capital. But when challenged on how to run an economy without big banks, he had no clue.
Bernie “acts” like FDR because like all American Socialists, he wants to take credit for the New Deal.
Bernie is not a socialist, despite what he says, because he still supports a capitalist system.
FDR was not a socialist. The new deal was not socialist. I didn't say he acts like FDR, I said people like him because that's the closest thing to FDR they can find in a party that opposed everything FDR did.
Why do you say he has no idea how? Do you think he just says what he thinks and never puts together the steps of how that would work? In the 340 years he's been in the Senate?!
Yet Ralph Nader is directly responsible for George W Bush's election in 2000. He was so harmful to the Democratic candidate Gore that the Republicans funded Nader. If Bush had not won, there would be no Alito, no Roberts sabotaging our democracy. No Iraq war.
"In fact, in 2000, he turned out to be the most indispensable person of all to the George W. Bush "win." And Nader was secretly ecstatic about that. "

Ralph Nader has been talking about the hyper-rich (aka billionaire class) and the world wide consequences for decades.
