BERNIE SANDERS SPEAKS FOR ME

[rurallib]

MEDICARE FOR ALL.

[leftstreet]

1. K&R

[NightWatcher]

2. I hate to break it to you, He's a SOCIALIST not a Democrat

does that mean you are a Socialist too?

[G_j]

3. so?

[cyberswede]

4. Duh...I'm sure rurallib knows Sanders is a socialist.

I'm more socialist than anything else. So what?

[napi21]

6. Bernie's description of hinself is a Democratic Socialist.

He repeats that all the time. Listen to him on Thom Hartmann's show every Friday for the 1st hour!

<aybe I am a socialist. I agree with Bernie much more often than any of the other Senators, and he's VERY popular in his home State!

[MNDemNY]

17. I am also a socialist. so?

[FiveGoodMen]

7. and?

[GOTV]

8. That's probably why he more consistently stands with the American people

[cyberswede]

12. +1

[bigjohn16]

9. I am.

Not because of Sen. Sanders but because I think this country could use a little Socialism. He's a DEMOCRATIC Socialist.

[BeHereNow]

14. And the Democrats have done SO much for us!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Care to share your extensive list on what the Democrats have
done for WE, Bernie's people, lately?

BHN

[Gregorian]

15. Listen to his description of what he stands for, and you'll be a Socialist too.

It scared me until I heard the key points. It's not draconian, take my money from me and give it to the poor so that we can all have the same amount. You can get ahead even in a Socialist system.

They've just tried to scare us like they do with everything good.

I'm more a Socialist today than I was yesterday.


Bernie speaks for me.

[MNDemNY]

18. No he's a socialist, not a Socialist. He is an Independent.

Big diff.

[NightWatcher]

19. he's not a democrat and this is Democratic Underground

btw, I am have supported and voted Dem in the past, but that's over for me.

It will probably get me banned, but if I were forced to choose between democrat and socialist, I would vote socialist.

I cant believe that so many are speaking out against Democrats and are speaking up in favor of a socialist (or at least an independent) here at the message board for Democrats.

:wink:

[kestrel91316]

23. We are only speaking against Repukes masquerading as Democrats.

[mike_c]

25. that's why I'd support him for president in a skinny minute....

The LAST thing America needs is another milquetoast dem in office. A fire-breathing progressive dem, yeah, but not another invertebrate.

But quite aside from that question, I'd LOVE to have a socialist president.

[reggie the dog]

27. I often vote Socialist in the second round of elections

here in France, first round is either Green, Communist, or Anarchist/Unionist In the USA I vote Green and Democrat but I do not get to vote for Sanders so I have not yet voted Socialist in the USA.

[asdjrocky]

30. I'm a Socialist.

A Democratic Socialist.

[rurallib]

34. I can support anyone who stands up for people

call me a socialist. You say that like it is a bad thing.

[rucky]

35. Damn straight. n/t

[damntexdem]

37. Oh, horrors!

Judge by what he does, not the label.

[eridani]

38. He votes the Dem platform more often than a lot of so-called "Democrats" n/t

[Tesha]

39. You say that like it's an insult. No matter: Sanders speaks for me, too! (NT)

[AndrewP]

40. So what? SERIOUSLY?????????? SO WHAT?

[RoccoR5955]

42. And WTF is wrong with being a socialist?

Tell me please.

[bobbolink]

47. Oh yeah, THAT scare tactic will work real well here.

:rofl:

[Goldstein1984]

48. Here's another Democratic Socialist for the growing list

The more capitalism fails, the more socialists there are going to be.

Upton Sinclair wrote "The Jungle," and everybody thinks it's about food sanitation and safety. The USDA folks are always pointing to the book as one of the reasons that they exist. "The Jungle" was about socialism. Sinclair got it right then, Michael Moore is getting it right today.

[cyberswede]

5. Me too. n/t

[meegbear]

10. K&R!!!

[jillan]

11. Me too!!!! He was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!!!!

[Cleita]

13. Yes, he speaks to the majority of people,

so why is the minority allowed to rule?

[smokey nj]

16. Because the minority can afford to buy the other members of Congress.

[Cleita]

20. Seems to me that the time is ripe to start taking back the party to

it's roots and it's base.

[smokey nj]

21. I couldn't agree more.

:hi:

[kestrel91316]

22. He speaks for all of us disenfranchised.

[JimWis]

24. After listening to that outstanding speech by Bernie, listening to

the others, especially the asshole republicans, makes one want to barf. I am fed up with all their bullshit.

[BeHereNow]

26. Can't wait for the youtube or archive from C-Span...

We should send it to every person in our
personal email accounts.

I'll start with my Bushbot relatives.

[TheWebHead]

28. Bernie is embrassing the Democrats today

he's sort of the crazy grandpa with the disheveled hair with ideas a little too far out there, with Republicans taking advantage and putting him out in the news today which he only amps up with his ill timed hold on Bernanke as he wins Time's Man of the Year for saving the weakened economy from a digital run on the banking system... though Bunning can share in the bizarre BB attacks from the right today.

[Goldstein1984]

49. His hold on Bernanke makes sense

The Republicans only need the Congressional Democrats to embarrass the Democrats.

I want the Wall Street prophets (profits) out of government. We know who they serve, and it isn't the people.

[Le Taz Hot]

29. K & R

And Howard Dean and Russ Feingold.

[frebrd]

31. K&R n/t

[frebrd]

32. DUPE!

[Javaman]

33. and what of those who can't afford to buy into medicare?

what happens to them?

[rurallib]

36. If they are going to give subsidies so you can give it to the insurance corps

I'll bet we can find a way to subsidize Medicare-E
Maybe cut that Pentagon budget a wee bit, maybe?

[RoccoR5955]

41. Bernie speaks for WE THE PEOPLE, not

them, the corporations

SANDERS/KUCINICH 2012
TAKE BACK AMERICA!

[Goldstein1984]

50. That's a ticket I would support

but one we're unlikely to see. The Democratic Party would never allow and Independent to be on their ticket. And the Right Wing would have a field day with their mindless cries of, "SOCIALIST!!"

[Edweird]

43. +1

[rhett o rick]

44. Me also. Who is the president speaking for? nt

[donheld]

45. !!!

[lonestarnot]

46. I'll take that on reconcilliation too!

:loveya: Bernie!

[Goldstein1984]

51. That's where the bar should be set

The Democrats in both the House and Senate failed when they didn't start there.

[RoccoR5955]

52. He speaks for me too!

SANDERS/KUCINICH 2012
TAKE BACK AMERICA!
