Canadian reassurance that Bernie's no anarchist

in A Moving Train
Having volunteered for Bernie for months now, I wish I had seen this video before canvassing here in Ohio. I would have just knocked on the door, waited for a response, held up my phone, and pushed "play". My Canadian brother breaks down in very simple terms how ridiculous it is for Americans to think universal health care, paid family leave, and sensible gun policies are some kind of pie-in-the-sky unachievable pipe dreams. This video makes me proud to be working for Bernie, yet simultaneously embarrassed to be a citizen of such a brainwashed nation:

    I was just saying in another thread a day or two ago that Bernie doesn't seem weird at all. He's proposing much of what Canada already does, and last i heard, most Americans don't think of Canada as a communist or socialist nation.
    Yes, the guy in the video said it, when it comes to the American mindset when it comes to healthcare and guns: "What the fuck?!?"

    I'm guessing much of the world must look at America and think, WTF??

    Thanks for working for Bernie, BrokenGlass!

    That guy was fabulous. I always enjoy Canadians opinions on America. When I hear that nonsense it always solidifies how irrelevant of a country they really are, other then fantastic Musky fishing and hunting...and many of my Blackhawks Aye..

    Hahaha yeah because if your economy doesn't tank every 10 years, you don't have hundreds of mass shootings every year, and you don't waste trillions of dollars on wars that can't be won, you must be irrelevant.
    Thank good God above that Musky lives in our world and we don't have to live in his!

    These kind of responses are always from people who have never left this country and think we live in the greatest country in the world even though they have nothing to compare it to. So ignorant.

    Nope, just will make more $ in OT cleaning up the bodies that are piling up in Chicago. Dumycrats and their policies are awesome for $ loving first responder whores. I'd be able to retire in 5 years not 10 if the old goat got in thou. You really are a special one on here, I always look forward to hearing from you.

    It doesn't matter, we've all seen your hate filled comments on here toward Bernie and anything remotely liberal.

    How can you hate someone who just wants to make things better for people, Dan? Really? Even if his methods don't work for you, you hate the guy? Jesus, man, find something worthwhile to rail against.

    This isn't directed at anyone in particular but of all the online forums I visit, this one is by far the worst in terms of snark, sarcasm, rudeness and disrespect.

    I guess having an intelligent discussion just isn't possible here.

    Pretty sad.........

    I don't tend to visit other online forums but I have noticed in recent months there seems to be less and less tolerance here for differing views.

    That's because 90% of people well maybe 95% on here have 95% of people on their mental do not reply to list. You are left with two choices
    1. The sing kumbaya and pray for world peace crowd
    or
    2. The vote for trump crowd.

    Absolutely. The attacking of posters who simply have a different opinion is rampant as well.
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    I've been here a few years and it isn't any worse than when I joined.
    Trump gets people fired up, but really, dudeman must be on some serious kumbaya forums, because this is by far the most civil I have visited.

    The insanity of our American Condition is bound to create this kind of atmosphere. People are walking around in a daze and don't know if they've been "shot, fucked, powder-burned or snake-bit".

    Gooooooooood Morning Americaaaaaaaa!

    If you think that people are going to support your racist views you're out of your mind.

    CNN, FOX? Those aren't news stations. They're entertainment channels that air Faux News.

    Thank you for working for Bernie!!
