    No I said you were a commie because you are. I am pretty liberal, so that would call me a commie

    If we broke down all the demographics that support candidates and ask if they are tied to these organizations, it would be a chaotic list of nonsense

    Let me educate you and give you some insight into what I am....I'm a humanist, futurist, tax paying citizen with a stake in the financial market, property owner, veteran..not politically affiliated with any party. I make my vote based upon the best case scenario for my family and their future. You can build your wall but calling me a communist is just disrespectful and exactly what McCarthyism is about.

    Sanders isn't a socialist. He's a self-proclaimed democratic socialist. I know it's confusing because they sound alike but they're not. Basically, he's in the same mold as FDR. He believes in capitalism but thinks the government should ensure a strong safety net. Also, he thinks social and economic policies should be made in a democratic manner instead of being controlled by a few billionaires and wealthy corporations. He thinks the current system of lobbyists and unlimited campaign donations are corrupt; and he condemns corporate welfare. To learn more about Sanders, check out www.feelthebern.org.

    I think it doesn't work because it stunts the growth of the people. The only time Communism works is if the people are afraid of their government and that obviously is bad.

    The problem with communism is the same problem with capitalism.... corruption. You can't escape greed, and politicians in a communist government are no different than politicians in a capitalist government. They're greedy, they don't have any scruples, and they're willing to completely fuck over the populace to get ahead. The problem with America is that our government serves the corporations that own the politicians. Those corporations have zero loyalty to this country or the people in it. They would completely fuck over the US to make a buck. Until people wake up and realize that it's not Republican vs Democrat, and actually "average citizen vs corporate greed," we won't fix anything.
