the main point is this: (and I speak to you as a young man who may still be flexible and open minded) More government is the exact OPPOSITE OF what this country was supposed to be.

please try and see it from this perspective. this is the truth. the corporations and government are just two sides of the same control system. problem with your logic is that you are advocating the greater of two evils.

hope you feel me, friend.

i agree with what's in bold. but your statements make it seem as if bernie sanders does not have the integrity to impose democratic socialism without full blown corrupted socialism taking place. and if you think sanders would ever let america turn into a dictatorship then you either haven't watched enough footage of him at congressional meetings or you are judging his character all wrong. if neither of those are true then you are insinuating our federal government would somehow take free health care, free education, a youth jobs program, expanded social security, guaranteed pension, and paid maternity leave and turn it into a communist dictatorship. as those are the only things considered socialist about bernie's proposals. like i told uh oh, i understand people's view of 'more government' is bad. but it's not that simple. it's the type of governing that matters. and if we have an opportunity to create productive governmental programs beneficial to the majority of american people, why would we refuse just because the type of government that exists now has done so much wrong? why wouldn't we fight to replace the bad with good?
