I think Bernie Sanders can do math...

[brooklynite]

...his statement tonight:



Platform items, not the nomination.

[Trust Buster]

1. The platform will not adopt crazy radical dreams. He's kidding himself.

[gollygee]

2. What part of that is crazy or radical?

Which specific parts do you find so crazy?

[Trust Buster]

4. Pretty much the whole list in the OP.

[gollygee]

8. So what, you like fracking?

Our minimum wage has been the equivalent of $15 before. It hasn't kept up with the rate of inflation, and the minimum wage wasn't extended to everyone in the past, but it isn't crazy.

Lots and lots of countries manage to have Medicare for all. And we do spend a crazy amount of money on health care in this country. We just spend it in a stupid way. But the money is being spent.

I don't see anything on his list that is crazy or radical. Different in some cases, but IMO different is good.

[Trust Buster]

13. We are talking about what will be adopted in the platform at the convention.

That's the issue I'm directly speaking to. Nothing that you listed will be adopted in the platform.

[gollygee]

14. That doesn't mean it's crazy or radical. N/t

[Trust Buster]

15. In terms of what will be adopted in the platform, those positions ARE too crazy and radical.

[gollygee]

16. The ideas aren't crazy or radical.

Our country is too conservative.

[Lancero]

17. It's a sad day when a Democrat calls a living wage a crazy idea.

[Trust Buster]

19. We were talking in the context of what will be adopted in the platform.

I can see a $12 minimum wage being adopted but not a $15 minimum wage being adopted in the platform.

[CorporatistNation]

5. Crazy Is Hillary As The Democratic Presidential Nominee When She Is Undeer Investigation By The FBI!

Now that is OUTRAGEOUS!


Tell the TRUTH... It Ain't Over YET!

[BreakfastClub]

7. It's over. It's time to make peace with it. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

3. Fucking hell, if those ideas are 'crazy' and 'radical' what the fuck are we calling ourselves

democrats for? Seriously. If you think those ideas are crazy and radical, just take the fucking party and merge it with the republicans. Why even have elections.

[Trust Buster]

6. The issue in the OP was what would be in the platform. I predict none of it.

[MillennialDem]

9. Because Hillary is not a liberal, not because they are fringe ideas.

[Trust Buster]

12. No, because the Democratic Party will not adopt anything from the list in the OP.

[Joe the Revelator]

20. Then the democratic party would no longer be something worth supporting nt

[Armstead]

10. I hope he keeps pressing the core issues through the election and beyond

Otherwise the Democratic Party falls into a complacent coma and the nation will once again be stifled by a lack of attention to the core issues

[morningfog]

11. Yep. He's been there pretty much since NY.

[hellofromreddit]

18. Good plan. We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.

21. We've decided. It's over, Bernie.

[Logical]

22. Lol, ok! Drunk? Nt
