Bernie is more credible than Hillary...

First, let's be clear, campaign finance reform, tuition free higher education, universal health care, reforming the financial industry, raising the minimum wage, legalizing marijuana, and much, much more are great policies that successfully exist today, in various combinations, in several dozen different countries. Those countries generally have cheaper healthcare, better education, happier citizens, less inequality, less poverty, less crime, and less corruption.

That's not "puppies and rainbows;" that's facts and logic. Bernie's platform isn't just good policy, it is hands down superior to every other presidential candidate's platform. This "liberals are naïve dreamers" narrative is part of the age-old Reagan-conservative BS, and its adoption by Democrats is the reason why the corrupt, Democrat establishment still exists today.
