Schopenhauer:
Anyone else see Bernie’s town hall? Felt like Fox was repeating the same talking points that they only apply to democrats. 1. Why doesn’t Bernie pay more money instead of being a millionaire. (It’s a dumb and inconsistent standard to hold people to)
Taxes will go up! Bernie handled it well, explaining that taxes will go up, but expenses on health care will go down. it’s a net positive trade.
People don’t like to switch healthcare. (They do it now when they get a new job or their employer changes providers)
The national debt. (It only matters when Dems are speaking, not when Trump passed tax cuts.)
Bernie handled the questions well and stuck to his message – that Trump has given the billionaire class the biggest tax break it’s ever received and wealth inequality is getting worse. Bernie is for the working class, not political parties. The hosts seemed unable to comprehend that people were supporting his message. I do not think they’ll be doing this again without doing a better job stacking the audience.
Yeah, I’m not a Bernie Bro, but the Bern is good for politics. I’d like something a little more nuanced, unfortunately that’s more unreasonable than requesting a centaur candidate anymore.
