    The 1980s introduced Ronald Reagan and his conservative politics to the nation. But in true Vermont fashion, the state’s biggest city swung to the left voting Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed Socialist, into the mayor’s office by a mere 10 votes. Since then, Burlington has been a bastion of progressive politics setting an example for the state and the nation.

      ​@@alowamamba4568 I'm for the campaign financing reform idea where everyone is granted $100 of play money where they pick the candidate they want to contribute it to. And of course, citizens united would have to be demolished in the process. UBI? I know it's the cool hip trendy dance all the kids are digging, but...seems like a band-aid on income inequality. The poor will spend it. The rich will horde it. In fact, it may actually accelerate income inequality and do more harm than good. It will give a purchasing power bump in the short term but will eventually bring about inflation and unless it is continued AND increased incrementally with inflation, will result in greater inequality. True transformation and reversal of the purchasing power slide the middle class has undergone for the past 40 years requires a throwback to the Keynesian taxation and labor movements of the early to mid-twentieth century.

    • @alowamamba4568

      Eigono Kyoushi Bernie’s finance reform to be just like Andrew Yang’s democracy dollars policy? The VAT counters the rich and will help close the wealth gap in the future. UBI would be transformative for poverty. Like Yang said most everyday items are not affected deeply by inflation. It’s mostly education, healthcare, and real estate affected deeply by inflation is it not? 🤔

      @@leggomyeigonosensei You're a rare site. Finding an American who can say Keynesian without needing to follow it with vitriol is such a site for sore eyes. It's not surprising since "free market" think tanks have been popping up since the 40's. There is a terrifyingly interconnected history between the free market think tanks and the evolution of "American thought". The Mont Pelerin society for instance, their members stacked the selection committee for the "Nobel Prize" in Economics, the same prize which during the 70's/80's was being routinely given to fringe free market economists while mainstream, post-Keynesian, economists were ignored. The Mont Pelerin society was formed by many of the economists who were awarded that "Nobel Prize" and with funding from the Foundation for Economic Freedom, America's first free market think tank. This all gave rise to an increased consciousness around free market ideas, and gave them an air of legitimacy they did not have in academic circles within the study of economics. This allowed for the rise of the Heritage Foundation in the 70's, which gained them enough legitimacy that by the 80's Reagan modelled his policies off of their publications. Fast forward to today, and the Heritage Foundation is one of the most influential think tanks in America.

Unlike anyone you probably ever voted for he voted against the Patriot Act - the rest of them would have the same as KGB was to USSR. You obviously know nothing about Bernie if you think they are the same. I would be happy to recommend some basic political theory books or a dictionary to you so you can learn the difference between a communist socialist and a social democrat. Ask any European with a brain, they could tell you too, they have social democrats throughout their government, and they had a much closer look at communism, also, than you ever would. They know the difference. It isn't hard. It takes a sheep to not even look at someone's voting history or a dictionary. Don't be a sheep.

      Republican rescinds Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's invite to meet coal miners after it completely backfires
      Andy Barr, the Kentucky Republican who initially invited the 29-year-old congresswoman to his state, said at the time that local coal miners would tell her “what the Green New Deal would mean for their families, their paychecks,” while suggesting the resolution could destroy their industry.
      To his apparent surprise, the first-term Democrat from New York immediately accepted his invitation, saying she would be “happy” to meet the coal miners and noted her resolution provides pension payments for those who have worked in the mining industry.

What can he hurt . . . right?

      all white, hippy-communist state, he's from. Hell! It was
      hard to NOT!, elect, a radical lefty, in1970's Vermont. It's just our BAD LUCK, that this one wingnut was elected by 10 lousy
      votes.

      childhood, {21-40}, that should make your hair stand up like

      because of fukin radical feminism, Harvey Weinstein, and the
      #MeToo, than when he wrote it in the "free love" 60's, & '70's.
      What Bernie has said, & written back then will come out, & from what I've seen it will kill his Democratic Socialist act, & his candidacy. AND IT SHOULD, because he really said, & thought these awful things . . . there's no way around them.
      The things he did, Bernie Sander's BEHAVIOR . . the way Bern
      treated, & acted towards other people, SHOULD MAKE MOST
      FOLKS FURIOUS! IT WILL ALL BE TRUE, because there is no
      reason to make it up. Remember the last debate? when Mr T
      had all of Bill Clinton's RAPE ACCUSERS in the audience? So imagine that X 20, as soon as Bernie gets the nomiation. Blame it on the Democrat Party, & our corrupt MEDIA, who never vetted a pretty scummy guy, who's crackpot ideas
