    1. Bernie: President Racist Satan:

      Bolshevik Bernie has said that he does not support reparations for black people, but said he did for Jews, and then flip flopped and said he would merely approve it if it came across his desk.

      Bernie once compared poor white workers in Vermont to blacks under slavery and Apartheid. The Daily Beast, Daily Kos, The Root and others have reported on this.

  1. Look at how Covid19 has effected the stock market. Think of what We the People could accomplish with country-wide strikes and millions storming Washington. We the People are the only ones who can pull us out of the abyss. Otherwise adjust your chokechains accordingly.

    1. The fundamentals really weren’t as good as people have been made to think they were. The billionaires and corporations that got the huge tax cuts used them for stock buybacks and artificially inflated their stock prices and markets. That’s a bubble and bubbles burst causing markets to crash. Also Goldman Sachs (Mnuchin) have been pumping billions of dollars into markets out of the Treasury trying to put off any correction or crash until after the election.. Thank Bernanke for the mechanisms for this sort of theft from the taxpayers. They’ll blame covid-19 or Bernie or both but it’s the same old establishment shell games. Maybe covid-19 triggers it but the bust has been on the horizon for a while now.

    1. He has zero chance unless everyone moderate but him drops out of the race before Super Tuesday, I predict most will stay in till Bernie has won 20 or more states. Bernie in the general election he can continue to attach those big people of the oligarchy, but most of all you have to specifically attack Trump’s dozens of real problems personally, with corruption, and policies, and keep asking the question, can’t we do better than this. Put your policies in the Democratic platform and assume those enthusiastic about them already know everything about them and are going to vote for you, end the long spiel when they are attacked and pivot to Trumps failings on that specific programs, there is plenty you can say about Republicans and healthcare and it will solidify voters than doing the health policy pitch for the 100th time. You will have plenty of time and money to pitch your plan once you are President.

    2. Bernie. RACIST AND UNAMERICAN

      Bolshevik Bernie has said that he does not support reparations for black people, but said he did for Jews, and then flip flopped and said he would merely approve it if it came across his desk.

  2. Sitting and writing this comment in Germany, I can tell you all of Germany loves Bernie, and all of Europe loves Bernie.

    1. Because you all don’t understand the United States in the least. every first world citizen outside the US does not get the US. Bernie won’t win. i guess you’ll have to wait and see. but that’s the future: bernie never being president.

    2. Oh wow, so many comments. I thank all of you for liking and/or commenting on my post, no matter what your opinion is. Greatings from overseas! ♡

  3. The 1% are afraid of Bernie’s plan for them, they even have their liberal news puppets crying! Don’t worry your orange puppet drumpf, will end all before the election.

    1. There is no one percent. Not the way they put it out there. I can use algorithms to make anything 1%. Just another BS stat made up to scare you. Both parties have used it for 40 yrs.

    1. Nope, I will not vote for racist Bernie:

      Bolshevik Bernie has said that he does not support reparations for black people, but said he did for Jews, and then flip flopped and said he would merely approve it if it came across his desk.
