Bernie Sanders

That really describes her agenda better than any other meme I have heard to date.
Especially when it comes to her outlook on the future - she sees the future as being one of incremental setbacks for Americans which she hopes to "manage" peacefully.
Bernie actually hopes to reverse the setbacks of the last 20 years and their takings and back room deals and return us to democratic rule.
In the past we were moving forward but for some time, thanks to secret deals we've been moving back.

(1,603 posts)The problem is she doesn't practice the same gradualism on the economy and foreign policy. Any social progress made is quickly left behind by her other positions.
