What Sanders has done is to establish himself as a force in the Democratic Party&#39;s selection process. He has done so by demonstrating two qualities that have largely disappeared from America&#39;s political life over the past few decades. One is conviction and intellectual honesty. The other is articulate statement of a progressive creed that was the party&#39;s heart and soul when it dominated the country&#39;s electoral life, before lapsing into the &quot;me-too&quot; wing of our current Establishment uniparty.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>He&#39;s a communist. I think it would be great if he won the nomination, as it would be the greatest landslide this country has ever seen when people actually figure out what he&#39;s proposing to do -- but there are a lot of people who show &quot;conviction&quot; and &quot;intellectual honesty&quot; -- Goebbels, Hitler, Stalin, Mao -- all showed both in great measure but were not people anyone wants in power. <br /><br />You have to be right in addition to having &quot;conviction&quot; -- &quot;conviction&quot; in the wrong direction is far worse than some lackadaisical senator who doesn&#39;t believe in anything.<br /><br />Communism sounds wonderful until we ask who&#39;s paying for it. The concept that we&#39;re just going to tax the rich and the corporations so nobody else has to pay for anything is great right up until all the corporations leave and the rich entrepreneurs just drop their citizenship (like one from facebook just did the other day) and move to Singapore so they don&#39;t have to give all their money to the government to pay for people who refuse to work.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am attempting to follow him pretty closely but admit I do not know his stance on cannabis legalization and other important issues. I just discovered he wants to keep certain firearms like automatic weapons out of the public&#39;s hands. I disagree with that. He is however, a breath of fresh air among the other candidates; both the Republican and Democratic parties.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just don&#39;t think voters will elect a Socialist as our President, especially when they learn more about his basic agenda ...raise taxes and spend more on social programs for everyone. It is true he does appeal to younger voters but not sure they will all vote for him in a general election...Will Independents and Conservative Democrats feel the Bern?? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/if-bernie-sanders-was-president-heres-what-would-happen-to-the-economy/ar-AAfpAhN?ocid=spartandhp">http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/if-bernie-sanders-was-president-heres-what-would-happen-to-the-economy/ar-AAfpAhN?ocid=spartandhp</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/042/076/qrc/519670.jpg?1455383897"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/if-bernie-sanders-was-president-heres-what-would-happen-to-the-economy/ar-AAfpAhN?ocid=spartandhp">If Bernie Sanders was president, here&#39;s what would happen to the economy</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Would you want a socialist in the White House?

He has a police record. This picture confirmed as him. He was protesting segregation.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Interesting thread. I have to agree that amongst all the Democrat candidates, Sanders is the only one who has shown conviction in his beliefs. While I do believe he is being honest with his own beliefs, I do not believe he is being intellectually honest since his ideas just do not work in the USA.
