[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, none of the Bernie supported have been able to explain what exactly they are supporting.

Bernie has great ideas, but he is not realistic, plain and simple. And while it's nice to be dreaming, I would rather have a functioning country. I will be glad to pay higher taxes in exchange for free education and healthcare. I also agree that our campaign financing system is screwed up. I am well aware of that because I do like to understand what is going on, and hence, I research. However, I would also like to see concrete plans to implement all of these proposed changes . I see none.

I do not think Bernie and Hillary hold fundamentally opposing views. In fact, they agree on a lot of things. The difference is that one is more pragmatic than the other. And while I would love to be an idealist, we all know how Washington works. And if you really want to accomplish things, you need to play the game. You seem to forget that the president's powers only extend so much and that he needs to work with Congress.

What makes you think Bernie won't be more of a realist if he gets elected?  They all are.   Obama certainly didn't do everything he campaigned on.  Still waiting for Gitmo to close down.   But he's very consistent in his stance, and we need policies that help the middle class STAY middle class, and policies that help lower income people climb up the ladder.   [/quote]

The problem is, nothing in Bernie's plan is realistic. I have repeatedly asked for specifics from Bernie supporters and I have gotten none. [/quote]
