I thought Bernie is totally viable candidate if people actually care about policies.
Cant' multiquote on my tablet
as far as know.
I don' t think Hillary is totally corrupted. Yes I'm concerned about her Wall Street ties.
Bernie's a good guy- he used to be on Air America Radio (rip) a liberal-progressive
station with a few of the Radio Talkers . They're still out there just not in a consolidated way.
I can only get one. of them talker for 1 hour /week if I remember, can get the station . B before we had 5 major people regularly, and a bunch of others part time, or once a week . It was glorious.
Here's the problem w Bernie gettting elected
.
I'm not sure he can be as a Socialist (I grew up art a time when that word was the equivilant with Communism, 2)and the really aggressive, kinda sour-faced (I' m thinking College) Socialist Workers Party people
Took decades for me to find out about Nordic-style Democratic Socialism! Which impresses me a lot .
Having had 2 Major formative experiences in Presidential (USA) Elections go
really badly ...
I was 16 for the 1968 Election Humphrey vs Nixon vs George Wallace. Having been going to support Bobby Kennedy's campaign before he was assassinated I was devastated. I was NOT going support Humphrey.
We had a 6 week School strike
at the start oif September. The more I heard about Nixon the more I got upset. I finally went to campaign for Humphrwy- and he was
gaming ground .. but it was too little too late.
Then in 1972- I was 19 (and in the first round of those allowed to vite at18) and worked for George McGovern who wanted to end end the Vietnam War and who very concerned about poverty and hunger. He
flew 50 bombing missions in WW2, the the Republicans turned him into a weakling in their campaigning .
When I walked into the hotel ballroom after school on Election Day - there projected on a screen were
all 50 States projected to go to Nixon.
Anyway they're a bunch of us who may prefer Bernie BUT are terrified he will be "McGoverned".
I heard a great comment from someone on public radio.: " people usually vote for 3 reasons; civic duty, inspired, or for survival ".
Any who is a person of color, poor,working class, possibly even middle-class, disabled could have their health, their support from them government, and maybe their literal survival atstake. There was a realitivly recent study of 100 years of England showing there was more illness and death during tineswhen The Conservatives were in power.
And a loose cannon like Trump on Foreign Affairs? :shudders:
