...it is in response to rjsquirrel's reply to your post - not being able to directly respond to a hidden post and all.
Your post suggests that Bernie's followers are out-of-touch, 'wannabe Marxists'. Uh, first of all, have you even been paying just a LITTLE BIT of attention to this primary? One candidate on the Democratic side was, and is, proposing to maintain the status quo, while Bernie was, and is, trying to give the forgotten masses of the middle class and working poor (and the poor and poverty stricken) a hope, and a dream, that REAL change to our lopsided economic and social system could be brought about in this 'great' country of ours. All you have to do is apply a small bit of logic to the fact that Bernie's rallies attracted tens of thousands of people - a number that would suggest NOT a small slice of the demographic that could be construed to be your latte-sipping, pampered elites, but a truly broad swath of the population that feels left out of the future of where this country is heading.
Secondly, please tell me what is wrong with people wanting what just about EVERY other industrialized country on this planet enjoys - single payer, or government sponsored health care; free, or nearly free college education; a leveling of the economic playing field; and true social justice that guarantees no one group, or demographic, gets preferential treatment over every one else. Please expound on your objections to this concept.
...I know, YOU CAN'T!...because no rational or caring person could possibly put forth a justifiable argument to rebut what Bernie stands for. All you can do is stand there, flinging your feces at his followers, and bellowing 'YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!'
We'll guess what my friend...we may have lost this little skirmish, but we WILL win the war. The will of the people will NOT be subverted!
...oh, and have a good day.
