Bernie Sanders Is Rocking American Politics With The Radical Idea Of Telling The Truth

On HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Bernie Sanders admitted the secret to the success of his presidential campaign. He is telling voters the truth.

Video @ link~

Sanders said, “What the campaign is about is a very radical idea. We’re going to tell the truth, and the truth is that for forty years the middle-class in this country has been disappearing, and there has been a huge transfer of wealth from working families to the top one-tenth of one percent, and what the people of this country are saying is enough is enough. Our government and our country belong to all of us and not just a few billionaires.”

While Republicans are twisting themselves into knots to avoid telling voters the truth about the Charleston shootings, Bernie Sanders is traveling around the country telling people the truth on a variety of issues.

The truth that Sanders is discussing is not some great unknown. People already understand what their politicians won’t admit. There is something fundamentally wrong with a country where billionaires have been given a green light to buy control of the government through campaign contributions. There is something fundamentally undemocratic about the fact that the rungs of the ladder of economic opportunity are being sawed off for millions while wealth continues to flow to the few at the top.

There is something wrong with a society where one political party is taking rights away from women and opposing equal pay for equal work. Immigrants should have a path to citizenship instead of being demonized as criminals.

These are of the simple truths that Bernie Sanders is telling, and it is also why he is shaking American politics to its core.

1. K&R!

2. Let's show the millionaires and billionaires what democracy looks like.

Vote for Bernie and change the game.

[liberalmike27]

24. It Feels

A little like the movie "Bullworth." Hope it has a better ending.

I've always said a person telling the truth, would have widespread appeal, even in the South. I hope I am right about that, as I live here, and it'd be nice to vote for a Democrat that wins, for once in my life.

[aspirant]

3. Bernie;

Truth
Our Fountain of Youth

[AgingAmerican]

4. How dare he!

k&r

[AtomicKitten]

5. Truth. Such a simple concept.

Good to know it still matters.

[hifiguy]

6. And the truth can set you free.

The ideas of great progressives and liberals past, from RFK, LBJ, Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern are alive and well in Bernie's no-bullshit lesson for the American people.

[cantbeserious]

7. Yes - I Will No Longer Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

[appalachiablue]

8. K & R. Tell it Bernie!

[daleanime]

9. K&R.....

[WillyT]

10. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[MissDeeds]

11. Go get 'em, Bernie!

K&R

[Beartracks]

12. People find that The Truth explains a lot, and jives with their personal experiences...

... and those of their families and friends. And they recognize that the smoke blown by most politicians, while comprised of feel-good rhetoric, high-level memes, and clever digs at their opponents, doesn't actually account for much of anything in their own personal experience or for the events they see going on around them. The Truth is like the missing piece of the puzzle for many folks who have never heard it before.

13. It's his advantage that can't be taken away.

It's why he will win.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

14. Bernie knows

when you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you said.

[babylonsister]

16. Exactly, the best part of telling the truth! nt

[madokie]

18. One of my mothers favorite saying

If you tell the truth you never have to remember what you said

[SaranchaIsWaiting]

22. and That is the truth.

And people see this. He is consistent, he is truthful and he is fearless. And he truly does care for the people of America and the world. He's no phoney about that.

[L0oniX]

15. Uncalculated truth!

[raouldukelives]

17. K&R What a novel concept! nt

[sabrina 1]

19. He, unlike most Dems, names Republicans as the cause of many of the problems we have

right now. Dems seem reluctant to come right out and BLAME them for they are responsible for.

One of the many things I love about Bernie, he doesn't hesitate to do what we have always WANTED Dems to do.

Republicans haven no problem blaming Dems so I never understood this reluctance on the part of Dems when it comes to telling the truth about Republicans.

[nc4bo]

23. The reluctant ones know who butters their bread and it is NOT the American People.

Dont want to risk losing out on that corporate cash now, can they?

So they hold their noses, get up from the buffet table and act like they are behind the populism. Actually get on the ground and slither Left to reel in those precious votes then head right back to the damn buffet table by moving straight back to the Right. Guffawing amongst themselves the entire way.

We're tired of the bs.

I've read this particular book before, too many of us have.

Next up, flipping seats in Congress.

[Babel_17]

20. The truth, it ...

The truth, it ... (come on now, say it with me)

The truth, it berns!

[Zorra]

21. Americans are sick and tired of being forced to vote for candidates who they

know are lying to them, and who will abandon them them and serve their corporate masters on the day after they are elected.

Bernie is a desperately needed breath of fresh air to a populace drowning in a sea of corporate bullshit.

[colsohlibgal]

25. He Is A Ray Of Hope

No triangulation. No illusions about the republicans or about way too many "democrats".

Others, like HRC, tend to talk in generalities. Bernie lays out specific programs and goals, no hedging his bets. But then he's not beholden to Wall Street and other big donors like Hillary. Hard to bite the hand who feeds you.

I hope he makes it. But if he doesn't there still is hope. The millenials and somewhat beyond don't depend on MSM, it's much more difficult for Faux News and their ilk to foist their propaganda upon them.

[pnwmom]

26. Except for about guns. His answer about gun control is:

He'll talk about that "at length." Later.
