What does Bernie want?

I have heard others ask that question, also.

Does Bernie want to leave a foundation for a new, progressive Party?

Does he want the issues addressed that he has been talking about?

Should there be a Third Party in this country ?

Should there be a Fourth Party in this country?

Should we only have the Democratic and the Republican Parties?

Those are questions that should be asked, in my opinion.

5. "Tea Party" is fake, a creation of a PR firm. An astroturf group.

This whole election is like the battle between the astroturf and its tools and the people of the country.

Fake people in abundance. Guaranteed that 2/3 of those publicly espousing anything are fake.

It shows how money is corrupting this nation.

Caveat emptor.

2. I don't imagine there'd be long discussion on points of political science

I think he wants our government and foreign and domestic policies to conform to American ideals and our common welfare. That could be achieved any number of ways. Except perhaps unbridled greed, power, and militarism.

3. What do the people of this country want. Thats what we should be asking.

What's best for the natural persons of THIS country, not huge multinational corporations that have no morals whatsoever and no allegiance to anything besides money and are likely to move elsewhere anyway.

9. IMO, Bernie is just dealing with his OCD 1960's bank hatred.

He is just being obsessive and knows it.
