Bernie has a shot ?
How the hell is that when it takes over $1 billion dollars to buy the American presidency.
Sanders doesn't like Rich folks very much, he doesn't like corporations very much.
Don't see Sanders having a snowballs chance in hell.

It was founded and bred of racism.
People don't want to acknowledge it because they still
enjoy the privileges that now come with pretending it's not there.
I look at white supremacist with laughter when they say black
people are quick to use "the card" when they're even quicker
to make disgusting derogatory statements due to just someone's
color. There are those that don't consider themselves racist
are quick themselves to say some use "the card" but would never say
this of a jewish person calling to something being antisemetic.
A movie about jewish people going through the holocaust is considered
"a triumph of cinema" while a movie about black people enduring
slavery is "they're just trying to steer the narrative."
This nation continues to be a racists wonderland -
- People are still left unemployable due to their name not being "white"
- People are left unemployable due to their address not being "white"
- People are constantly vilified and harassed and prosecuted for not being white
- People become a mob of hatred solely because a fictional white character is made
black
There are more I can list but I can go on forever - some term it (white guilt) or
(black sympathizer), but truth is I have seen some people show more humanity to
an animal than they ever would to a person just because they are BLACK.

That's because you are only paying attention to propaganda.
noun 1. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.
Okay - so I did read your "observation" correctly. Do you believe in segregation? Is that an option you see would resolve these cultural and mindset walls so to speak?
I don't need to give you examples of racism as it seems you have figured it all out - you're a smart one.
This is such a lame response that I am stunned. you don't like politicians; I get it. you hate government; I get it. you love Rich People; I get it.
Yep exactly the same stance as the founding fathers.
And we have now come full circle. This country was founded on racist principles: That's a fact.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
Elections are crucial in a system of representative democracy.
Voting has been a subject of controversy throughout our country's history.
During the colonial period and the early years of our nation, voting was generally restricted to white men who owned property.
While the majority of white males were qualified to vote, other people such as women, blacks, American Indians and members of certain religious groups were not allowed to vote.

And Sanders wants to perpetuate the same kind of thinking.
Only Unions, and 'people' have that right.
WHAT's the DIFFERENCE ?

I would call the genocide of thousands of Native Americans " racist ". Wouldn't you ?
To assume Pilgrims lined up and shot the Native Americans.
Is definitely how American haters love to rewrite history...isn't it ?
We know it wasn't the pilgrims, they aren't to blame.
Expansionism is to blame. The white man was not happy with the land they already possessed they needed more, all of it in fact. Well almost, except the reservations, nice touch!!
Today, we live in the richest country in the history of the world, but that reality means little because much of that wealth is controlled by a tiny handful of individuals.
Freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to buy the United States government. Oil companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, Wall Street bankers and other powerful special interests have poured money into our political system for years. I
In 2010, a bad situation turned worse. In a 5-4 decision in the Citizens United case, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for corporations and the wealthy to spend unlimited and undisclosed money to buy our elected officials.
The United States Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.

Tha'ts a LIE because the STATE created money. The STATE gets to print out of thin air.
Rich people don't control money. THE STATE DOES.

And unions Sanders loves so much don't do the same thing.
Getting the 'big' money out of politics would mean getting rid of SS,medicare,medicaid, and free homes. and free education, and free brith control.
All manufactured issues USED TO BUY 'we the people's' votes.
Doubt Sanders wants to get rid of those.
In 2010, a bad situation turned worse. In a 5-4 decision in the Citizens United case, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for corporations and the wealthy to spend unlimited and undisclosed money to buy our elected officials.
Now THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE.
All anyone has to do is ACTUALLY READ the scotus decision.
The United States Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.
