I appreciate this. First/2nd generation folk from places like India, China, Japan, Eastern Europe, etc appreciate something that socialists do not:

*prosperity is not the default state, poverty is*

Bernie Sanders is utterly incapable of answering the student’s question.

They seem to be having two entirely different discussions.

Bernie's response begs the question, is he stupid or a dishonest person? Can someone explain how his response addressed the question, which was very thoughtful?

The only thing I got out of his answer, which I happen to agree with, is Americans are just better than everyone else. I doubt he meant to imply that, though.

There’s no such thing as a smart socialist. They’re all fricking losers and dumb.

These 2 things are not mutually exclusive.

Getting elected to public office, of course.

Bernie only knows how to take. He knows nothing about producing.

At the 1:20 mark he said what we all know. They want to control everything and will line their pockets and drain ours with that kind of power.

He essentially said, "You all create all the cool genius shite and we'll decide how it's used."

He couldn’t say Hard Work…. That would alienate his voters

Hopefully people are beginning yo understand they don’t. Dem filth cannot win secure elections. They own the voter rolls and the counting machines. The US is a center right country but the media gas lights you to believe it’s 50-50 so the Dem filth can steal elections.

as it is with virtually any politician.
it's one of the main reasons we like Trump. And love Vance. They answer questions without obfuscation or distraction.
