Viv,
I don't know much about him beyond that he has spoken out for the Palestinians and he's a communist who calls himself a socialist. <wink>
Is he anti-war?
Will he end the fed nightmare and return the power of our money to the American people as guaranteed in our Constitution?
Will he force all foreign agents to registers as such?
Is he for open borders?
How does he feel about guns?
Will he ever play a part in the monetizing of the global warming agenda?
Just a few off the top of my head. Thanks for any help.
Great questions. Let me do my best to answer.
These answers may seem like they should be straightforward, but they are not.
Here is a link the Bernie's platform.
https://berniesanders.com/issues/
Now, I am the first person to tell you that we shouldn't listen to politicians. If you ignore political reality, you will not be a successful politician. I guarantee that every politician says things they do not believe.
So how do we find the truth, if their words mean nothing?
Actions.
What is your voting history? What bills did you write? Who funded you?
Bernie's votes on military action are great. He voted for Afghanistan, and against everything else. His vote against Iraq showing his political courage when it mattered most. He paid a real political price for that vote. The calls that resistance to the war was unpatriotic were deafening.
His voting history on guns is mixed. I do not believe that guns are a issue Bernie is passionate about either way. If it isn't about injustice, I don't think it moves Bernie. Hence his economic platform, and history of minority advocacy.
He does not support open boarders. He does support going after employers to solve Illegal immigration, and a path to citizenship for those here. I personally wish it was just legal worker status, instead of citizenship, but if you wait for a candidate you agree with on everything, you will wait forever.
Bernie is very much against lobbying, and campaign finance. It is my hope, and belief that Bernie knows he can't fix anything, until this is fixed first.
Bernie is the most anti-bank politician I have ever seen. He beats out Ron Paul even.
Here is what I know about Bernie. If you are looking for someone to start fires, you have the wrong guy. He isn't going to tear down the system, to rebuild it, if the cost outweighs to gain. He is not about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
He has a history of making the best deal he can to move the ball forward.
He has no magic wand to wave, and I will tell you straight up, the only way we can achieve real change, is if millions of Americans organize to demand that change.
If you are worried about what Bernie will do if elected president, you shouldn't be. He will only have the ability to effect the change the people are demanding.
The political establishment, media, and corporate America are against him. He won't get one damn thing of substance accomplished without a Grass Roots army demanding it.
