It's just time to go back to traditional American and Christian virtues. Like charity and honesty.

Because people are too stupid to understand how a country can actually function properly

DRUMPF BTFO

Because every dumb millennial wants a damn handout. Free this free that. No one wants to work for it anymore. Go fuck yourselves, cucks.

Also his policies suck and he's a total liberal.

He's not that popular, he couldn't even win his own primary

>Christian virtues

>why is he so popular?
because liberals are assdamaged children.
>is this country ready for socialism?
being ready for death or becoming a unic means very little.

Bernie isnt the "most" popular, clearly, but we are already about 1/3 socialist.

after the 2020 defeat the democrats will become a socialist /collectivist party. They will also necessarily be nationalist due to trump, as a country's representation should be.

The individualist / collectivist dichotomy is the only true important dichotomy.

You will see the true scope of our victory.

I liked him because he was the only one to want to get money out of politics. Its a huge systemic problem that only serves the corrupt.

>get money out of politics
>by introducing EVEN MORE money into it

c'mon lad

I'm okay with light socialism.
On the other hand, I'm not gonna let these commies tax me to death either.

Care to elaborate? I'm not speaking of the average Joe giving twenty bucks, I'm talking about hidden money fueled by billionaires, foreign contributors and corporations.

He was the Trump of Democrats. Minus all of Trumps strength.

really? bernshill threads already?
get a job you neckbeard piece of waste.

Because he's not bought, he's anti war, he's anti wage-slavery, he's anti corruption

I mean... is it really hard to figure out?

If nothing else, he genuinely cares about Americans. I can't say the same for any other politician.

>Middle school

>hidden money fueled by billionaires, foreign contributors and corporations.

you really believed the memes, don't you? Just think about it: if you think those guys hiding their money will somehow magically give it all away from a anti-rich policy or two, wouldn't you think think they'd just find new ways of hiding it? they're goddamn billionaires. They have the army of lawyers, not you.

this is the reality behind focusing your entire political platform against bogeymen: they will continue to be bogeymen, while everyone else has to fucking cough up to pay for the massive tax hikes needed to fund free shit without pulling their weight. You just can't continue to legalize even more efficient theft without consequences and people acting accordingly, it's not zero-sum and it's not a void

At least he wants to end corporate welfare

I don't want a free handout. I want to work a reasonable amount and enjoy life a reasonable amount.

Corporations don't care about that. They only see people as exploitable resources.

If my options are work 40+ hours a week serving some spoiled "designer" faggot baconators while having all my earnings siphoned away by bills, or NEETdom, you fucking bet your ass I'm not going to play.

If you fucking faggots EVER get this through your thick skulls, we can open a dialogue towards fixing the NEET "problem" (see: non-participatory protest strategy).

free shit for everybody is a big crowd pleaser.

>corporations don't care about me
>but the government totally does XD

You know how they call Trump Literally Hitler? That's because Obama was Literally Ebert.

His policies all come from European socialism, a region that's currently being outperformed by every other populated continent on earth. Yes, that includes Africa and South America. If he cared about Americans, he would try to make us emulate the guys in last place.

If the government wasn't being bribed by corporations (which funds their ad campaigns), they would get voted out.

I wish Sup Forums would at least pretend to think.

>my political philosophy is entirely usurped by rich guys handing money to people
>my political philosophy isn't retardedly flawed
pick one

>Africa and South America
also outperforming america

>why is a man who promises to give low quality people free stuff popular

this is why democracy was a mistake

>I want to work a reasonable amount and enjoy life a reasonable amount.

Then make that reality on your own terms, not as a handout from government.

>Corporations don't care about that.
>muh feelings

Look, corporations look out for their interests. So should you look after yourself. "Care" this and "care" that, what do you want? Corporate propaganda shoved down your throat about how much they "care" about their employees? I know managers, they don't give a shit. So shouldn't you. Switch jobs, take other offers, you have no further obligation to corporate loyalty the moment it stays from your interest because you have the power of choice. It's insane how your solution is forced government to one party instead. God, if you think corporations are bad the government should be infinitely worse since you can't choose, you just deal with it

>They only see people as exploitable resources.

Because that's what they are? Are you a commie? You're as valuable as you make yourself valuable, not by how you feel yourself to be valuable.

>my options are work 40+ hours a week serving some spoiled "designer" faggot baconators

Then make more options? Make yourself more valuable than serving faggots?

>all my earnings siphoned away by bills

Then cut expenses? Have priorities? Find cheaper alternatives? Your life isn't an absolute m8

>fixing the NEET "problem" (see: non-participatory protest strategy).

oh, you mean becoming a welfare whore and being even more wasteful to society? yeah, that'll show them, if anything happens to the gov and your NEETbux, you're fucked! Honesty NEETs are some of the most politically anxious people I've met, whining about the possibility of their entitlements taken away or their need for more entitlements. Why not give yourself those entitlements? nevermind, NEETs tend to be unskilled and worthless. I wonder who's fault is that but their own.

>All these words with no sources.

When you say "outperformed" do you mean "live like a literal slave so your country's GDP can slowly rise and maybe after a few decades you can start introducing loos to poo into"?

If not, I've got some bad news for you...

Or maybe you're talking about letting all the shitskins into Europe? In which case, sure, I think that's really fucking dumb and going to fuck up their continent.

I STILL prefer Bernie "Doesn't Literally Suck Corporate Dick" Sanders to anyone else.

The world is ready for socialism. Neo-liberl/Neo-conservative "free" markets have empoverished the world population long enough. The propaganda is longer able to overcome the very real suffering of the people. The next revolution is near.

>why is a man who wants to provide services people actually want paid for via taxes instead of using that tax money to subsidize megarich corporations or bomb /invade durkadurkastan yet again so popular?

Fixed.

Reasonable arguments. I'm working on all that shit.

Still sucks that no matter what we do, the richest are the only ones with any clout in this country, and they obviously look out for themselves vs making the environment and/or the nation any better.

Not going to stick around for more red-pills. Have to get sleep so I can wagecuck my way towards the top.

He didn't say the government cares about us, he said that corporations abuse us. They do, both democracy & capitalism are failing systems, and in the future will be looked upon as such.

Economic capitalism AND cultural Marxism. – makes us minorities in our own countries. Can you give me one good argument why he should get a job and pay taxes?

Oh shit, I have comrades. I'm not just arguing vs 20 Trump astroturfing, soulless, shillbots.

Might stick around for just a little bit longer.

Of course all of Trump's astroturfers disappear when the proletariat come together.

Typical.

Going to sleep.

Bernie should be president right now. He would have fucking raped drumpf


> millennials reeeeee
All.boomers need to die, they literally killed the.country themselves in a single generation

>the richest are the only ones with any clout in this country

not if the people wise up and cut down both government and its corporate influence. I agree with you that government pandering to special interests is real and a very despicable form of corruption, but honestly how would even more government fix that? If Bernie tells all corporations to piss off anyway, how would he fund all the entitlements he promises without massively raising taxes? It's just poorly thought out. All problems can't just be blamed on "muh corporations" and "muh rich people" like ol' Bernout endlessly whines about, ignoring the politicians that agree on those corrupt deals on the other side. It's not just corporations, it's the actual gov itself and the structure of democracy. but hey man, free shit amirite?

he did gain a lot less votes than Hillary. I think his popularity is over rated. lots of active youngsters on the web that hate capitalism because they have no money.

he used jew magic to make people believe that letting in a lot of poor people AND giving out free stuff AND demilitarizing AND giving up resources around the world would be a good long term strategy.

>Why is Bernie Sanders so damn popular? How is he the most popular in the USA?
Socialism is the most populist set of policies there has ever been. It's truly amazing how leftists have tricked people into believing that doing hard but necessary things is being a populist. Saying we're not able to take care of everyone, that we don't have the money to give top quality healthcare for everyone and that we simply don't have the resources to sustain current immigration policies is being a rayciss rightwing nazi populist.

In the mean time, these commies preach equality, love and perfect justice, but somehow they are not populists at all. They are woke, intelligent and good people. Bernie Sanders is a woke, intelligent and a good person. That's why he's popular. And that's why Trump, very unpopular person, is the populist.

in the 80's you could be a 30 year old drunk loser and get a job at one of the big 3 making 30 dollars an hour. now if you have a masters in science you'll end up working for 15 an hour as a temp. engineer at the big 3. fuck you asshole

>masters in science you'll end up working for 15 an hour as a temp.
You're probably doing something wrong. I make more than that in my summer job with my bachelor's.

Politics is who gets what when and how.

A politician that promises to give everyone a bunch of stuff will always be popular.

>Saying we're not able to take care of everyone, that we don't have the money to give top quality healthcare for everyone and that we simply don't have the resources to sustain current immigration policies

We could have paid for college for all Americans and covered full health insurance for life for all current US residents with what we've spent on Iraq and Afghanistan.

But that would've been terrible for the arms industry.

US population = 321.4 million = 321 400 000
Iraq and Afghanistan $2.4 trillion = 2 400 000 000 000

2 400 000 000 000
/ 321 400 000
= 7467
>We could have paid for college for all Americans and covered full health insurance for life for all current US residents
Wow. You have really fucking cheap health care and college tuitions. With the money you spent in that war, you couldn't have paid college tuition for a single year for all of your citizens in Finland. And our colleges are cheap.

DUDE
FREE SHIT
LMAO
