I like Bernie. I do. He seems like an interesting guy. He is Jewish; grew up middle class; has been in public service all his life. And after a little bit of leaning (shoutout to the protesters - don't stop until you change their minds!), it seems that Bernie now THOROUGHLY understands that #BlackLivesMatter. But he seems a bit....dare I say....out of touch....with certain things. Well, let me not say out of touch. But let me stick to my point. His thought process is a little dated. And a bit extreme.
See, Bernie has been in the upper part of the United States for a while. Vermont to be exact. And I think that the air has gotten to him because the whole thought of a utopian society of socialists isn't reality. My guy believes that straight talk and honesty will get things done. That singing Kum By Ya is the way. I want to politely tap him on the shoulder and remind him that this is Washington, DC in the United States of America, and that he himself marched for Civil Rights - so he knows how this goes. He knows that the methods he is using is one for books and movies - in real life, we are idiots who can barely tie our shoes.
He better ask Obama.
The last debate showed his naivety. His lack of answers on gun control parellel Trump's naivety on Immigration reform. His narrow scope of foreign policy reinforces what the war hawks always say about Liberals - that we are weak on matters of foreign policy and don't quite know what's going on. Interestingly enough, his narrow scope reminds me a lot of Trump's. It's not that they mean to be narrow minded - it's about environment. Bubbles, if you will. Bernie is stuck in Vermont; Donald is stuck in Manhattan.
NOW, I'm not saying this in an effort to say "Don't vote for him". I encourage you to go to his website and see what he is about. And maybe I was a bit harsh for calling him Donald Trump?
A liberal version of Glen Beck?
That sounds a LITTLE better.
