People are not being brainwashed about leaders who are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of their own citizens

Wait, but revolution in the sense he is suggesting is something different from anything you'd find in a reasonable discussion. Revolution in the sense bernie proposes is simply taxing people more to pay for education and healthcare... Compared to what suddenly popped into the discussion which is indiscriminate murder in the name of marxism.
Correct, but then how can you say something like that and then advocate for Lenin, Stalin, or Mao... ?
There's a reason why Bernie would never win. People will believe anything Trump says. He calls Bernie a communist (which he isn't) and people all of a sudden believe.

Well I'm going to a lot of hate for this and probably banned so I'd not go into specifics. PM me if you'd like to have a discussion.
Bernie hurts himself by calling himself a socialist, which he also isn't. But that is neither here nor there, you are actively advocating in support of dictators who have murdered millions.
That's why his "revolution" won't work.
Exactly why we need more left in power, as long as they're for the people.
I thought he was suggesting revolution as in violent upheaval? I forgot what I was thinking at the time, but Bernie's revolution would be better, except we just get rid of shitty conservatives.
He wouldn't win because of moderate & liberal Democrats. Trump is trying to make Bernie look like a victim of the Democratic party, actually. I don't think it took Trump for people to believe Bernie's a communist though, the right often get socialism and communism mixed up?
Ok, I thought you were referring to bernie's "revolution". his revolution shouldn't be framed as getting rid of anyone though, that's not really what is going on.

Idiots.
Hey that's why we're AmeriCans not AmeriCan'ts.
Like I said, I don't even remember.
He's explained it many times. It's not speculation, the US gave 4 trillion dollars in one week to wall street to keep the economy afloat, given those are tax dollars. You mean you can't do the same and cancel student debt?
At that point I'm going to assume (which I'm pretty sure you were referring to) as a higher income tax.
He'll... tax speculation? I don't think that's conceptually possible. He could tax more people with higher incomes and eliminate tax loopholes but that's different from taxing speculation. I would maintain that for bernie's policy proposals he doesn't need just taxes for the wealthy, rather he needs to tax people across the board (with higher income people simply being in a higher tax bracket). Honestly, bernie saying otherwise is pretty brazen lie...
Hasn't he said he only will tax the wealthy?
Yeah, exactly. Which I maintain is a lie on his side. IIRC there are even a few occasions where he tries to dodge the question altogether.... In reality no country that has implemented the policies he proposes only tax the wealthy. That's just not a thing.
True. I think it should be either a fixed tax rate or some model depending on the income.
