Vetting Bernie Sanders

[Yavin4]

In the 1970s, Sanders became involved with the Liberty Union, an anti-war political party in Vermont. In 1971, Sanders’ platform involved the legalization of all drugs, while in the following year he wrote in an op-ed that Congress should “institute public ownership, with worker control, of the major means of production.” Several years later, in 1976, Sanders told the Bennington Banner that a “sane society” required that “capital has to be controlled by the people.”

Sanders also served as a presidential elector for the Socialist Workers’ Party in 1980, something that he acknowledged in a 1988 television appearance. The group at the time was a Trotskyist party that pressed for the abolition of capitalism and the peaceful establishment of socialism.

6. I was a Marxist for a short time as a teenager. Then I grew up.

Sanders never matured intellectually.

He found one thought and repeats ad infinitum.

When will a reporter ask him on the record if he still thinks the Rockefeller's property should be seized? That was part of the Liberty Union platform when he ran as an adult several times.

After all, he only runs now as a Democrat as a matter of convenience for him.
