Bernie Sanders is the Mainstream Candidate Most Americans Agree With

[Jimmy Higgins]

But "socialist" doesn't have the harsh negative connotations it would have 30 years ago.

What good have either party said about socialism in 30 years?

What has Hillary said about things like universal health insurance?

When Bill won the presidency she was put in charge of coming up with a plan for healthcare. It was a useless monstrosity, not simply Medicare for all, and it set back health insurance reform for a long time.

She seems to do more harm than good with everything she touches.

The most important decision she had in the Senate was the vote on the invasion of Iraq. She got it wrong.

TARP was more important.

That's not at all clear.

We of course can't say what would have happened without the invasion of Iraq, but it was immoral to do it.

There was nothing moral or immoral about TARP. And the consequences have not been devastating as they have been in Iraq and surrounding nations.

I would agree that TARP was more important in propping up confidence in the market in 2009. It may have slowed down and/or prevented a deeper recession. However, it was short term. The Iraq war and it's impact on US foreign policy will be with us for 50 years.
