A thinking person's slogan should be "Socialism or barbarism".Bernie's campaign slogan should be "socialism or barbarism".

I think the fear mongering about his socialist label can be mitigated if he doubles down on the fact that polls suggest the American population actually agrees with almost all of his major proposals.

Americans generally back his agenda.

It's not important whether or not America backs his agenda or not. What matters is whether they think they do.
Sort of like how the vast majority people actually agree with almost everything in Obamacare but a slight majority is actually against it anyway.
Not everyone is for Obamacare, and they should not be. The ACA has huge problems. Not 'death panels', like how the GOP was fear mongering about, but the bloat and inefficiency of the system run by private corps is still prevalent and doesn't make much sense objectively. The things wrong before the ACA passed are generally still wrong about our modern system. Preexisting conditions law can still be avoided for example, through clever legal maneuvering

Seems unbelievable to me, but you guys judge.

This is... not true. He was charged with sedition for opposing the draft during World War I.Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare
Why would you even post that?
The only way somebody can say that is if they have no meaningful understanding of what communism means.
FYI: The author of the article is credited as the author of a book that tries to blame liberal regulations for the financial collapse.

I didn't believe what I was reading, but it's surprising to find it on the new York post. I thought you guys you would be interested in reading it lol.

I'm not a New Yorker, but isn't the NY Post pretty much a glorified tabloid? Owned by Murdoch, perhaps?
This is exactly what you should expect to see in the Post.

Huh, I wonder what made that change possible. Is Hillary's senseless attack eating her up?New poll conducted mostly on Sunday prior to the debate has Bernie crushing Clinton in NH by 27 points. Pretty big.

He just preempted any attack campaign imaginable.
HRC was endorsed unanimously today by the 32 member board of HRC (Human Rights Campaign), the largest LGBT advocacy group in the country. Be interesting to see what impact, if any, all of these endorsements have in the primaries. I don't know about Bernie, but I assume both will be in at least until Super Tuesday. http://www.hrc.org/blog/human-rights-campaign-endorses-hillary-clinton-for-president
Bernie vs Trump would be insane. The country would be broken in half! bah gawd.
That's why he says voting him in is only part of it, you also have to vote in congressmen who would support it.He can win, but he has a smaller percentage chance of winning than the alternative. The question to ask then is whether we want to take that risk given that he won't be able to pass a single of his Democratic Socialist ideals through Congress, so we'd essentially be voting for Supreme Court Nominations. Not one Bernie supporter has ever developed a gameplan to get a single progressive bill passed through Congress. Because it's essentially impossible.
I think this is my favourite moment of Bernie. He truly cares about the american people and it'll be really sad if he doesn't become president.

Bernie vs Trump would be the ultimant duel. A socialist vs a Billionaire.

Hype! Great video.
As far as I understood quite some democrats who support Hillary over Bernie play it safe, because they think that Bernie can't. Can't win the election, can't do anything once in office. Furthermore the issue that far too many americans don't seem to understand how tax brackets work.As a Canadian I simply cannot understand why anyone voting democrat wouldn't choose Bernie. He is exactly what your country needs.
