I know you didn't call Bernie all those names, Cutz, and it wouldn't be a problem if you did. I'm just having fun; 'Bernie the crackpot old Jew clown' is a combination of the contributions from you, Big Sal, and FAHQTOO. 
At this point, I wouldn't vote for Mr Sanders unless he was running against Trump or Cruz because I have practicality and true cost concerns that haven't yet been satisfied by his campaign. But, I'm listening with an open mind and impressed when it comes to the man and his vision.
I think more highly of Bernie Sanders with his unending passion and sincere commitment than I've thought of a politician in a long time.
Bernie wants people to earn and pay for what they get; he's not offering a pocketful of free-ride tickets, in my view. And, the man is only beholden to the American people, which I like.
Bernie isn't trying to make rich people less rich or punish them for success. He instead wants them to pay their share instead of continuing to get all kinds of breaks from bought politicians and exploiting loopholes that encourage them to invest outside of America.
He aims to use that money to elevate the standard of living for everyone in the country so we don't continue having so many people living below the poverty level, incarcerated, and watching the middle class shrink. He actually acknowledges and wants to make a dent in 'generational poverty'. Good.
Bernie wants to implement a very slight tax on reckless speculative Wall Street trades which cost middle-class tax payers billions in bailouts; a transaction tax which is not a new concept. He aims to use the money to afford everyone who is willing to study and work the opportunity to become more educated, without ending up with massive college loan debt at high interest rates strapped to their backs for years.
He wants everyone to have access to health care as a human right, without putting the burden on employers or fining individuals who don't buy insurance. His universal health care wouldn't be free, it would increase everyone's taxes but reduce or eliminate out of pocket service costs.
Whether they choose to be college-educated or not, Bernie wants Americans to work and contribute. He wants to keep manufacturing jobs in the country by renegotiating what he sees as some of the 'disastrous' trade agreements that ship manufacturing jobs elsewhere and leave entire communities impoverished.
I don't how much he means what he says, but Donald Trump shares more of Bernie Sanders' stances than perhaps any other candidate. There's commonality on the topics of trade agreements, Chiner, health care accessibility, illegal immigration, PACS, established politicians, the rigged system, their parties' nominating committees...They have very different motivations and styles though.
