I know what's wrong with him. Just look at his official web page. It's full of communist agenda. Really, there is no difference. He wants to reduce income inequality with higher taxes for rich people, he wants to create more jobs (that means giving free money to poor people). He is also going to help immigrants and make America even more 'diverse'. I can't believe there are really so many people who are going to vote for this communist. He is not any better than Obama.

You don't know what the word "Communist" means.

If he was a communist, his agenda would be so much more aggressive. It would include nationalizing industry, private business and the means of production, neither of which he has proposed. It's not like he's proposing nationalizing Walmart.

LOL, communist? Corbyn is much further left than Sanders, and he's not a communist either.

Very hackish, probably a troll. I was going to write a 4-paragraph rebuttal, as that is my way, but decided it wasn't worth it.

I'm a very fiscally conservative Republican and even I don't think Sanders is a Commie. He's a self-idenfitied socialist and far left, but not all leftists are of the same label. When he begins to want to kill the bourgeois and establish a Politburo, then we can talk.

Sanders isn't a communist, he's barely even pinging the socialist alert.

Corbyn absolutely is a communist.

Sanders is a fairly mild Democratic Socialist who would be considered a centrist in most European countries.

"I would never give up my microphone. I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness, the way he was taken away by two young women -- the microphone; they just took the whole place over," Trump told reporters during an evening news conference before speaking to a Republican group in Michigan.

"That will never happen with me," he said. "I don't know if I'll do the fighting myself or if other people will, but that was a disgrace. I felt badly for him. But it showed that he's weak."

It's a good thing we have ClarkKent and Ray Goldfield to keep the OP from being the most absurd post in this thread.

Communists support Abolishing Private Business and Establishing an Authoritarian Government. I don't see either of those in Sanders's Platform.

Go away, Troll.

What about FDR? Some people thought/think he was a socialist. Given the conservative nature of the country at the time he was first elected, was he any less progressive than Sanders?

This sentence makes me feel the OP is just kidding us. Does anyone, from far-left to far-right, oppose creating more jobs ? Really ?

Yeah, that line should be a giveaway.
