    ^^^ show me anything radically different about what Sanders is proposing than what Eisenhower, Truman, and either Roosevelt proposed. The notion that he is soooo radical is utter BS. It is something foisted on you by the corporate media, and is more a reflection of how far to the right our politics have moved over the past 40 years of neo-liberal and neo-con rule. Exit polls have shown fairly uniformly that a large majority of voters - including republicans and Biden backers - support most of Sanders' policies.

    Bernies campaign is a self described revolution how much more radical can you get.

    The reality of it is if Bernie is proposing what Eisenhower,Truman or Roosevelt did none of them
    would have survived.

    Roosevelt during the depression refused to give direct cash relief because according to him,once you start giving people free money they lose the will to work for it.

    His wife was the one that suggested and implemented a majority of the social programs,I guess she won a lot of arguments.

    No way you can compare any of those to Bernie.

    Just when we thought Richard ______________________.
    First off, when Bernie talks about a revolution, he is talking about THIS definition of the word:
    "Activity or movement designed to effect fundamental changes in the socioeconomic situation."

    Second, know history much? Roosevelt's New Deal was literally designed to use the power of the government to create a fairer economy. His idea of a minimum wage:

    “No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.
    “By living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of a decent living.” [[1933, Statement on National Industrial Recovery Act)
    Further:
    “Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the Government relief rolls in order to preserve his company’s undistributed reserves, tell you – using his stockholders’ money to pay the postage for his personal opinions — tell you that a wage of $11.00 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry.” [[1938, Fireside Chat, the night before signing the Fair Labor Standards Act that instituted the federal minimum wage)

    Now you clearly have NO concept of history and NO concept of what Sanders is proposing, apart from the idiocy your right-wing goons scream at you.. The vast majority of what Sanders is talking about - at least 90% - were positions held by one of the two Roosevelts.
