The Most Interesting Thing About Bernie

[LuvNewcastle]

I think it's his humility. It's hard for people to be rude to him because he's so courteous. He's teaching people. He's de-programming people from all the Reaganomics bullshit that's been inculcated into them for the last few decades. He can have a huge effect on this election and I think it's really going to be something to see.

1. "de-programming people"

Seems a little sinister

[SamKnause]

2. Programing

people to accept Supply Side Economics (trickle down) as fact

was truly sinister.

We have decades of proof the trickle down enriches the wealthy.

Millions have voted against their best interests because of this lie.

Trying to get the facts out does not seem sinister to me at all.

3. When it comes to economics,

people spout off what they've heard about it, and what they've heard is mostly a neoliberal view. I don't mean that the people are robots or anything, I just mean that they need to see things in a different way. They need to expand they're one track minds when it comes to economics and politics.

For me it is his humility, consistency of his message, and his honesty.

[LuvNewcastle]

5. You describe it very well in just a few words.

He is one person in Washington who is looking out for common folks. He's one of the few famous people I can point to and say 'there is an honest man.'

As a child my parents and Grandparents taught me ( Drilled it in my head ) the need for Truth and Humility. Mr Sanders reminds me so much of my Grandfather it is actually like looking at a picture. This Country needs to turn a corner and needs to start with Politicians just like him who tell the truth and who truly cares about the little people.

7. I couldn't agree more.

9. Yes. It's very easy for one to be clear in their message...

...when they're not busy trying to cover it with bs.

He has long been my favorite politician.

[donnasgirl]

11. Those are

The only attributes that I need for me to back a Candidate like Bernie Sanders.

14. ^^This

That is exactly it. And he has a very long record that shows that he is fighting for working people. He's The Real Deal.

[Enthusiast]

8. We have lived with supply side long enough to know it is counterproductive.

Yay, Bernie!

[rurallib]

12. I believe Obama has somewhat similar courtesy and some humility, but RW talking heads

and bloated ego members of congress have no trouble doing what they can to humiliate Obama.
But he always looks like the better man.

I do agree that Bernie will bring a seldom seen humility and focus on issues to the game.

13. How many politicians can you call trustworthy???

Integrity and dedication--make him worthy of our trust.

[libdem4life]

15. All of the above and ... he's not rich. n/t

[donnasgirl]

16. I wouldn't mind if Bernie was rich

Because I know in my heart he would do good things with the money, unlike a Donald Trump, or a set of Koch brothers.

17. Bernie has this ability to cut through the bullshit

and people need that.
