Reality sux because of people like this

Soci/Commies need slaves, not thinkers.

So if democracies consistently vote in favor of state run health care, you won't take it as evidence that they're popular because you see it as a population strong armed to keeping the system on threat of death from withheld healthcare?

There's a certain elegance to your completely and totally unprovable self-contained dogma.

So, we live in a Republic. Democracy is like the Ancient Greeks had. They voted themselves into oblivion....

Bernie, specifically, is a Socialist, not for Democracy unless the people's votes can be used to obtain Socialist/Communist goals. There are no voices of dissent in Communist countries, because the state runs all media. If there is a dissenter, it's because they are allowed to be, by the state, for state purposes. All Communist states become dictatorships and/or broken up by their relatives in other nations. That's just actual history.

Back of the line, you non-socialist ill
