It's apparent that the Bernouts don't like anything such as facts to interfere with what they choose to believe. I'm just asking for them to use facts to base their beliefs on.
If they have access to facts that the majority of people haven't seen, post a link to it so it can become widely known. The link should be to a reputable news organization that states that it's news. Not an opinion piece or post from a blog or tabloid.
His following seems to be more like a religion or cult than anything based on proven facts. It's the denial of the facts about his background and the actions that his campaign has done, no matter how wrong or hypocritical, is somehow justified because people think that he's on their side. Also whatever is said by his acolytes is taken as gospel. No proof provided or needed by his cult.
This is the truly worrisome part of the entire mess that they created by pandering and offering up his promises that would be impossible to deliver on short of a bloody revolution.
Revolutions like they had in Cuba and in Nicaragua that cost so many people their lives and freedom. You can go back even farther to the time of Lenin when he pushed Marxism or communism in Russia or Napoleon and the French Revolution that put people to death because they were wealthy. Bonaparte co-opted their revolution to become the self proclaimed emperor of Europe.
The only ones that's still entrenched in communism is North Korea and China and they didn't become a communist country until the 2nd World War.
But China as well as Russia is turning away from communism towards capitalism. The French Revolution that was taken over by Napoleon only lasted about 25 years before they went to a democracy. The Sandinistas were only in power less than 15 years. In Cuba the communist government is falling apart just a little over 50 years.
All these countries have a common theme, they all were supposed to take care of the poor people over the rich and promote equality.
Not a single one of them lived up to their promises of peace and equality. When something sounds too good to be true, it's usually not true.
Sanders freely admits that he is a member of the Democratic Socialists and that he promotes that agenda. It's others who are constantly misrepresenting his beliefs. There's a huge difference between socialism and a civilized democracy that cares about all its people.
Why does he hate banks and wealthy people so much? Go to the website for the DSA and read the very first line of their constitution. They are against ANY economy based on private profits. He has been steeped in this belief his entire adult life. They sign an agreement upon joining stating they will bring this into being by whatever means.

Wonderful issues campaign that he promised to run on. He will be repeating these types of right wing attecks until the convention. He also had just accused her and the DNC of money laundering. He also has spent months calling Hillary Clinton and practically the entire Democratic party corrupt! He's never offered any shred of proof, but 70% of his followers believe it.
I apologize to those who support him and can tell the difference between facts and fiction. But if nothing else is accomplished, I hope that this has moved you to call out those who are repeating the garbage as truth.
Donald Trump: “Bernie sanders said she shouldn’t be allowed to run, that she’s not capable. And, you know, what he said is incredible. It’s a sound bite.”
We asked sanders whether that bothered him.
Bernie Sanders: “No, the republican party and trump have the resources to do all the opposition research they want on Secretary Clinton.
