A Glimpse Into Bernie Sanders’ Thinking on Substantive Matters
My mother is a right-wing Republican, but one with a wonderful and kind nature—so generous, in fact, that she puts up with my occasional jokes about politics, and my kidding-on-the-level reminders that her party seems to be out of sync with the psyche of the American people. And here, to make my point is Bernie Sanders’ Twitter feed during the course of the debate the other night.
Of course, it’s meant to be completely serious, but it’s hard to read this without chuckling. Like him or not, he really did make some telling observations, like the candidates’ hyper-competitiveness to go to war, their passion for defunding Planned Parenthood, and their complete lack of interest in the 47.7 million Americans who live in poverty.
Enjoy. You’ll smile; I promise. Mom: Even you will have to appreciate some of this.
