Some things to consider
  • His policies
  • His age
  • His supporters
  • What he stands for (his movement)

No.

He's quite advanced in age and I could fight him off without too much of an issue.

No, but I am more scared of the prospect of Sanders losing to Trump than any of the other candidates.

He's scares me in that unless there is a recession between now and election day, then i don't think he can beat Trump. His policies don't bother me since i don't believe he will be able to get it all done and anything he can pass will be waterdown.

Yes. I'd be extremely concerned about the future of the country if he is elected.

Sounds like the beginning of a push-poll


"Does Bernie scare you?"
Yes or No

"Keeping in mind that Bernie Sanders...
- Is a Socialist who will take away your health care and everything else you hold dear
- Is a 78 year old who recently had a heart attack and slipped in the shower
- Has toxic supporters that will threaten to kill you and your mother if you say mean things about him
- Stands for a movement that will turn America into a Communist hellscape

Does Bernie scare you?"
Yes or No

No, he's not a scary guy. He's just an old idealist, a dreamer. And people are buying into his hype.

At least Trump has boots on the ground and is doing things his followers like. I'm not saying what he's doing is good or bad, just that he speaks in down to earth terms to his party.

Bernie is pie in the sky. He isn't going to get anything much accomplished. Unless the Dems take the Senate and keep the house. Then maybe we will have that revolution Bernie is always talking about.

Of course he scares me. I don't usually follow politics and I don't care who wins for the Dems. But Bernie is one guy that really I do not want to win.

Yes his policies are anti-American. I was muted from the Nevada thread (still am) 7 hours and counting for challenging the notion that Bernie is not outside the political mainstream. His policies are communist/socialist. I will continue to stand by my opinion. Telling people you will give them free health care, free college and basically a free living is disengenous and a lie. He is brainwashing so many young people on these policies.  It scares me that so many Americans don't want a to work for a living and want the government to take care of him. If he was ever elected the stock market would collapse and the economy would probably collapse.

James Carville is spot on that he is Jeremy Corbyn.

Trump and Biden and Bernie are the same age, and Obama policies of holding corporations accountable for the Great Recession has been undone by Trump, with his tax cuts to the Super rich.

So many flaws in your argument

Millionaires dont work for a living and they get benefit off their employees.  Most billionaires like Trump and Bush W got money due to inherited wealth. Adults are living off slave wages that they dont want to take minimum wage jobs that should be given to teens. New norm is adults living off of minimum wage jobs instead of salaried jobs

I am only 'scared' ('concerned' is a more accurate word in my case) he will scare away those who voted Democratic in the 2018 midterms.

I'm only scared of how stupid and spineless Dems are showing themselves to be, believing whatever Republicans tell them about themselves instead of defining their own stances and party.

No I expect him to be pretty much like any other Democrat as president if he wins.

You're delusional then. His policies are a lot different than Bill Clinton or Obama.

Not at all.

His policies are mainstream Social Democratic or Left Party ones in Europe and some of them would do the US a lot of good (gun policy, minimum wage etc.)

Problems will arise if he wants to pass them in the moderate Congress as elected POTUS (= almost impossible).

His age and health is slightly concerning, but he should pick a young Blaxicasian woman as his VP, so even if he - god forbid - dies, she could continue his agenda as President.

His supporters are sometimes really annoying though ...

You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
