Bernie Sanders is insane

**Bernie Sanders is insane, incompetent, and weak**

He's ignorant of economics. He has constantly flubbed the most basic facts; one that comes to mind instantly is his ignorance of the obvious reasons why student loans are different from car loans or mortgages

He promises all the "glorious" free handout programs of Europe, yet neglects to mention the extremely regressive taxes, the key differences in culture and population size, and the fact that none of those countries actually fund their militaries because they rely on us to fight for them (freeing up money to go towards their welfare states instead). He also leaves out the part where nationalist parties and conservative welfare reform parties are becoming more and more popular in Europe because they're finally realizing that socialism doesn't work in the long run. Even scarier than his deranged views is the Modern Monetary Theorist kooks he surrounds himself with.

He's a huge warmonger. He tries to disguise this by playing dumb about foreign policy and deflecting to climate change and his irrelevant economic stump speech whenever he's asked about it, as he knows the truth would alienate his "progressive" base, but his history is one of consistent cow-towing to the war lobby:

He's a hypocrite. He complains about money in politics, yet he lines up to accept money from both corrupt unions and anti-labor corporations, and he does favors for sugar industry lobbyists and defense contractors.

He claims to be a real civil rights leader and a fighter for the poor and downtrodden, but then he'll turn around and try to use poor ethnic communities as dumping grounds for his state's nuclear waste.

He demands a $15/hour minimum wage, yet he's only willing to pay his interns $12/hour.

He's an SJW. He's released a "racial justice" plan, but he won't release a tax plan. He's still pushing the phony and discredited wage gap myth.

He has deranged ideas in general. For example: He wants to bring back illegals who were deported.

He thinks cervical cancer is caused by a lack of orgasms.

He wants to sic the DOJ for disagreeing with him on climate change.

He thinks you can delegate rights you don't have.

This is really just the tip of the iceberg - but the guy is flat out nuts and would dig this country into a hole so deep that we'd never get out of it.
