I Weirdly Miss Bernie Sanders and the Bernie Bros
Openly Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (VT)
Senator Bernie Sanders consistently offered a concrete plan for America with things like:
Medicare for All
Green New Deal
Free College
Erasure of Student Debt
Free Childcare
Tax on the Wealthy
Gun Confiscation
He clearly list these stances on his website: https://berniesanders.com/issues/ so there is no debate that he actually stands for this. Bernie would take the stage and rage like a crazy old man openly about these issues. He never hid that he wanted to implement these insane ideas, he never backed down from them publicly to fit an audience.
The first two debates, both the Presidential and Vice Presidential debate with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris offered almost no concrete platform for the Democrat party other than Orange Man Bad, Orange Man Racist.
The presidential debate was admittedly chaotic from all three parties: Trump, Biden, and Chris Wallace. Not a lot of policy was discussed. Biden lied non-stop, Trump interrupted him to correct the record, and Chris Wallace asked loaded questions.
There is no way that Bernie Sanders would have taken that stage and not completely stood by his (insane communist) platform. His supporters online would talk about the need for these far-left platforms, not what Orange Man did today.
But I think this is by design, because republicans can’t attack the Biden/Harris platform. They can only say that Orange Man Not Bad, Orange Man Not Racist. And that’s not healthy for the country.
