What Bernie stands for is not radical or extreme. It’s nothing more than a return to the traditional FDR Democratic Party position of always being on the side of the working people in America. Prior to the 1980s, that was considered the core of the Democratic Party.

Those in both parties who paint Bernie as extreme are doing so in order to protect an economic paradigm that puts corporations before people. THAT is what should be seen as extreme.

A “return” to anything is the problem. The solutions of the past have no place in the future. #MATH

It’s nothing more than less than what most countries see as baseline humanism. #unwrapthat

THANK YOU! Marianne is exactly right. Bernie is called a "socialist" and "not a real Democrat," but really #BernieIsAnFDRDemocrat -- the kind of Democrat the party USED to stand behind

I'm not a Bernie fan in this election cycle. But, I'll vote blue no matter who. If Bernie is wrong and Trump is right, I would rather be wrong.

It's actually quite funny how Bernie is seen as far left in the US. In other developed countries he'd be centrist at best. Equality doesn't have to mean socialist or communist!

Marianne, that's why I made this sign and put it in my car's window for all to see.
