Bernie tilts but often votes interests of constituents. Not gonna ruin that winter wonderland anytime soon. He knows that butter should be applied to the up side of bread.
Huh? Bread, butter? What are you on about?
The interests of his constituents are that they should have jobs, including jobs in extractive industries and that they should pay reasonable price for natural gas and oil derivatives instead of oil going north of $100/bbl like it was before the shale revolution.
And yet, Bernie wants to ban fracking.
Bernie Sanders wants to eliminate fracking. Here's how many jobs may go with it
Mind you, working class folk he claims to fight for can't afford any of the S3XY Tesla models or even a Nissan Leaf, so they are reliant on ICE power for the time being.
Then there is him wanting to take the military aid to Israel and give it to Gaza instead.
Democratic hopeful Sanders urges giving chunk of US military aid to Gaza instead
He also mentioned Gaza in this week's debate.
Never mind that Israel withdrew from Gaza 14 years ago. Never mind that Gaza has since 2006 been run by an islamofascist terrorist organization whose head in Gaza vows to "tear down the border with Israel and rip their [Israelis'] hearts out from their bodies". Never mind that Hamas has plenty of money to build and stockpile thousands of rockets, dig attack tunnels into Israel and enrich the upper echelons of Hamas - some are even billionaires. Gaza has major problems, but they should be blamed on Hamas (and other terror groups like PIJ), not Israel. For example, when Hamas invests in the people of Gaza, they don't do things like upgrading water or sewer infrastructure, but instead
hand out free IVF treatments, thereby increasing the already astronomic birth rate and exasperating systemic problems in the Strip.
If Gaza doesn't want to be bombed by Israel, they should stop shooting rockets at Israeli civilians and cease other acts of aggression such as throwing explosive devices at soldiers across the border, trying to infiltrate into Israeli territory or sending explosive or incendiary balloons across the border. Israel has a right to defend itself after all.
How Sanders would pump billions into historically black colleges and universities
Black colleges are an anachronism and should not be subsidized by the federal government. They certainly should not be beneficiaries of special subsidies because of their racial makeup.
Politico said:
The Vermont independent is building out his left-leaning posture on higher education with plans to send big sums of money to private colleges, eliminate more than $1 billion in schools’ debt to the government and expand job training programs for minorities.
Why should federal government bail out private colleges, esp. if the reason for that bail-out is race? And job training programs should be open to all, not just so-called "minorities".
“Historically Black Colleges and Universities have educated generations of African American leaders, and helped build and grow the culture of diversity that makes our country what it is today,” Sanders said in a statement.
Wrong. Black colleges are not about diversity. They are the least diverse colleges we have in the US.
Take Morehouse, where he was speaking.
Or Clark, where Elizabeth Warren was speaking.
Yet the need for HBCUs and the education they provide has never been greater."
Why does he think there is a great need today for colleges that cater to one race? I believe he does not really believe that, but is saying what his handlers told him to say in order to have a better chance at the nomination. Because he is smarter than to actually believe that. Or maybe he has gotten so senile to really believes this crap.
This article is even worse:
Bernie Sanders Launches HBCU Funding Proposal At Morehouse
GPB said:
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says if he is elected president, attending any historically black college would be tuition-free.
Most so-called HBCUs are private. And yet Bernie wants to transfer tax-payer money to these private institutions just because they are black.
“We are going to encourage young people to go into teaching because we're going to give educators the respect and compensation they deserve,” he said. “And that means that no teacher in America should earn less than $60,000 a year.”
That's kind of high for just teaching, especially basic teaching like elementary school or high school English.
Speaking specifically about HBCUs, Sanders said that students who attend those institutions have struggled financially from a lack of federal funding.
If they struggle to go to a
private college, they should go to a state school instead. Why should federal government pay for them just because they are black and want to go to a college where at least 95% of people are black?
One proposal would make HBCUs, tribal colleges and other minority-serving institutions tuition free.
Screw white people, right? They don't matter in the modern Democratic Party.
Sanders wasn’t the only candidate to talk HBCU funding while in town for the debate. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg released details of his plan at Morehouse on Monday.
Too bad. I had hopes for that guy.
2016 Bernie was for the interests of his constituents. I kinda liked that Bernie. In 2020, he is a very different candidate, more of a regular, doctrinaire US leftist. I blame his age and failing health that made him more susceptible to the "staff infection", i.e. relying more on advice by those around him, including such toxic people as Linda "Cockroach" Sarsour.[quote
