Bernie Sanders - Then and Now (1985-2015)

[demwing]

If you're on the fence about Bernie, or if you just want to be reminded about one of the many reasons why you support him, take 20 minutes of your day and watch this compilation of Bernie being 100% consistent in his progressive, populist message for the last 30 years!

This man has always been on the right side of history, and he's already my President. All that's left is our vote

1. I'm actually floored that 1985 was THIRTY years ago.

Man, I'm getting old.

But seriously - thanks for posting!

8. Seems like yesterday, and like a lifetime ago

How does that happen at the same time?

Yet, through all the changes of 30 years, Bernie' been a rock.

2. Now that is what I am talking about.

A rare bird indeed is the politician that is consistent and congruent in his politics for over 30 years. Sanders has not deviated from this for decades. He won't pander. He won't use opinion polling before forming a stance on an issue. He can't be bought.

This is a major reason why I like this man enough to vote for him. This speaks volume to his character and how he will govern as POTUS.

3. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, demwing.

4. I don't think he has always been on the right side of history.

But he really is very consistent in his ideology. On just about any issue I would feel very comfortable saying where Sanders stands before he says a thing. There is a lot to be said for that.

5. Agree to both.

6. Wait, so does he still want to nationalize the major industries? I thought he evolved on that.

[Armstead]

7. OCD

[cyberswede]

9. Haven't our major industries all moved abroad by now?

I wish we would have nationalized them 30 years ago.

[MindfulOne]

11. Oh my.

Spouting off false accusations based on the specious notion that being an FDR Democratic is a bad thing?

Look, if you have a link to your claim, post it.

And, if we had nationalized a few industries, those jobs might still be here.

12. He's a socialist. At least he used to be. Has he evolved?

10. So where is a similar video montage of Hillary quotes?

I've not seen one. Hey Hillary Supporters, where is it?

13. It's a secret

you can see it after she's elected
