Wow.

God Damn America.

I thought you were French? Sanders might be far left here, but he'd be a centrist over there.

Yeah and Mussolini might be a brutal dictator in Italy but he would be a gentle bunny rabbit in Russia. But Italy is not Russia so...

Anyway Sanders lacks the political connections or talent to do any of the things he wants to do and he certainly could never get the votes to increase government revenues to fund them. His election would be a disaster.

Yeah (and not saying he was a disaster by any stretch) but didn't we already have a recent president without political connections?

Yeah but the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. Still was pretty ineffectual.

Well yeah, having one's own party in power doesn't mean much if you aren't well-connected. :D

If politicians of Sanders ilk can run a western country without running it into the ground, I see no reason to believe that he can't do the same.  Politicians of Trump's ilk don't have nearly as good a record.

Sanders is much more qualified for the job than Trump. Not saying much but...

This is the first time I've seen a political poll where the American and Euro votes are so alike. :hug:

Plenty of western countries have been run into the ground by politicians of Sanders' ilk.

Most of Latin America at some point or another.  Big chunks of Europe, to lesser and greater degrees.

You were asked which western countries you meant and you fall back on Latin America?

Fortuantly Latin America has been spared touch of flamboyant oligarchs.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If I remember correctly, the UK was bailed out by the IMF in the mid 70s.
