eh, he's a last gasp democratic-liberal power grab before the US transforms into a true oligarchy. if he wins it'll be really cool and good sign for democracy. if he loses then the US is going to continue being the terrible state it is today, but worse.

Neither will ever be elected but if politics were a hospital drama Ron Paul would be a oily chiropractor and Bernie would be some doctor in the background that shows up and fixes the horrible errors of the tit laden lead intern girl for one episode and is never seen again.

Ron Paul never actually believed his bullshit and thus voted against his gimmicky agenda, while Bernie truly does. I don't know if that's good or bad.

We can't resurrect Teddy Roosevelt or FDR so Bernie's the next best thing.

Literally the only honest politician running for the nomination right now in either party.

More or less. I took a few Poli sci classes as electives. Prof was a hippy sort who gave us a big speech about how all politics and ideology is a lens and makes you blind to how the world really works, maaaaan. It was all the most milquetoast liberal terribleness.

E: I'm the implicit assumption that modern liberalism is naturally and always was the most perfect system.

They are also similar in that while Bernie can be called a socialist, and Ron Paul can be called a (right-)Libertarian, they are also both close enough to the center relative to others in their respective groups that their followers aren't expected to actually try to do something themselves. A perfect leader for the lazy. All you gotta do is vote and you'll change the world! Why bother actually trying to do something?

I've found people who say stupid poo poo like this to be insanely retarded and so far you're adding to the pile of anecdotes that serve to confirm my feeling on this. You might be a bitch, or kind of a oval office even. I wonder how boring your politics must be. Some GBS 1.0 level moron poo poo, or a latte liberal D&D poster strawman made real.
