13368552, I wish I could compile all the shit said about Obama in '08

because while I don't think Bernie has exactly the same appeal, it's similar

and it's backed by even more grassroots operations.

because some of these freak outs are crazy. I say this at someone freaking out about Bloomberg being an option for people (and how much he poured into Black political campaigns waiting for the moment to flip the switch).

But this red baiting?
This "we're gonna have communism" shit
I'm like, "have you niggas even seen Bernie Sanders?"

the likelihood of one presidential term flipping a capitalist economy all the way to actual communism is so minuscule it's HILARIOUS.

in a sane nation-state Bernie would be a somewhat ho-hum center-left moderate moralist. but we're in the United States.


the US is so beholden to its ruling class elite and pushed so far to the right, a 1960s style social safety net is seen as the end of the world.

should have seen the writing on the wall when M4A style healthcare plans started creeping over 50% approval from the public
