    I don't agree with Bernie on some things but I do think he's a good man who cares about Americans.

    Good video.

    Im sure he’s portrayed differently in the media than he is, when not in front of camera’s, but since this is the media, isnt it just a different media trying to portray him in a different light?
    I think its safe to say none of us know if he’s a “good man” or not away from the “media”, because our only exposure to him is the media...

    You feed children because when properly fattened they are the veal of people.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You're a monster. It's penning them up so they can't move, not fattening them up, that makes them delicious.

    You just advocated wasting a lot of food.

    They're all corrupt. Didn't you know that already? Fact remains, we still need a President. Pick your poison. You can have Joe or Bernie. I'll still take Donald.

    It's poison like eating too much chocolate vs strychnine. Hope you enjoy the strychnine.

    Sure, no problem, thanks. Oh, and I'll be certain to wash my hands with hot, soap water, afterwards.

    What exactly would make trump more of a "president" than Biden or Sanders?

    Well, I've had no problem with the past 3+ years, even while he's been continuously lambasted by the dems.

    Strolled ten minutes from my house and watched Bernie for a bit on Saturday
    I'd upload a video if somebody will tell me how to do it. (Don't get excited, it's pretty crappy quality.)

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's funny how you only mention corruption in regards to other, Democratic, politicians, never Trump--til called on it and then you retreat to "Oh, well, they're all corrupt anyway."

    I think we see this behavior all over the place. I see it in myself too.
    I can pick away at the Blazers get frustrated by them, but they're my team! Some Laker fan comes in and wants to go at my team saying kind of the same stuff I'm saying and I'm way more defensive about it.

    In general, it's partially why I find politics so frustrating, it's a topic that once the perception is you're on a different team, it becomes party over country. It becomes well you think differently than I do on this subject so I've basically decided I'm now going to be defensive and sometimes offensive about how I talk to you. There is a very tribal part in our DNA that makes it very hard for humans to communicate once we believe the other person is "against us". I think ABM, in this case, isn't that different than most people, he's cool with other people in "his" group bad-mouthing his guy, he's ok with accepting the problems of his guy, but he doesn't really want to hear it from who he perceives to be people against him.
