              Here, this is how I look at it. So Bernie Sanders is supposedly gonna give out "free" money. Just think of it as free samples at cosco... So free brownies will attract attention so everyone will swarm them and all of a sudden, no more brownies... Same goes for immigration... Bernie's plans may work for a little bit and everyone will get their "free" money. But then, people will hear, Oh! There is free money over in America! Let's move over there and get rich! Only problem with that, is that it is not really free. So with higher demand and more people, the richer people will have to give more money and the poor people will get less because they have to split it up... And all of a sudden, no more money!

              • I saw a Facebook post of an encounter with a Bernie bot. I don't know if it was real or made up. But it accurately depicts the level of knowledge. Two middle aged men were talking about Bernie while waiting in a convenience store line. One said "everything free - who's going to pay for all that?" A young woman in line in front of them turned around and said "nobody will pay for it - don't you guys know what "free" means?" Then walked out rolling her eyes at their stupidity.

                    • Most people who support Bernie are under the free-college spell and also like the "Feel the Bern" catch-phrase. Those are the only sensible reasons because he literally has no knowledge of politics.

                      • Anyone with a basic understanding of economics would understand that our system is half socialism anyway, and that he's actually given reasonable methods of accomplishing his goals (unlike Señor Trump, the Wall Builder).

                          This is a popular meme that I often see from Republicans. They claim that Bernie supporters don't understand economics, but never actually explain with any specific details. • Does Germany not understand economics? • Does UK not understand economics? • Does Denmark not understand economics? • Does Norway not understand economics? • Does Finland not understand economics? • Does New Zealand not understand economics? • Does Canada not understand economics? • Does Australia not understand economics? • Does Japan not understand economics? • Does Sweden not understand economics? As it stands, Bernie is your typical politician from every single one of these countries (give or take minor details). So you Republicans are trying to tell me every single one of these fully functioning first-world countries don't understand economics? You see, that just sounds absolutely crazy.

                          • You people need to do some research on Bernie Sanders before calling him a "socialist" or a "commi" and completely dismissing him as a candidate for president. All he believes is America has been pushing too far to the right recently, and the gap between the top 1% and the rest of America needs to tighten a little more. He also has many other fantastic plans for this country with detailed explanations on how we can pay for them, and how to get congress to agree with him. All I'm saying is that Sanders might not be the greatest candidate ever, but he is a hell of a lot better than Trump and Hillary.

                                    • I honestly don't care anymore. None of the candidates seem like they will be ideal, all for different reasons. I would much rather have a nation run by the most intelligent people, like scientists and economists who would actually know what they're doing. I feel that if actual intelligence and expertise were more revered by our culture, we would be able to progress so much more as a society. If only geniocracies and technocracies didn't have their own slew of new issues to deal with.

                                        I think most of them haven't graduated college yet or didn't choose a useful degree like economics or engineering, and as such are asking for the government to pay for their English and gender studies majors.
