what I believe gets the most eyeballs rolling is: raising minimum wage, federally funded public universities, and a single-payer healthcare system. Though I'm a supporter of Bernie, I do agree that those proposals are unfeasible to varying degrees.
Edit: Though I should mention, how he plans to pay for them - largely through raising or adding taxes and military spending cuts - is also a source of contention for a lot of folks.
