Speaking of honest and dishonest…
Bernie is rigorously honest in this speech. He pulls us away from all the Machiavellian fake disputes and nonsense and gossip that politicians and journalists deluge us with. He gets down to plain facts in a way that FDR and Henry Wallace would understand and appreciate.
Unfortunately Bernie failed to DO any of the things that FDR did. When he had the chance, he supported the billionaires. When part of the Biden administration started restoring FDR’s enforcement, Bernie didn’t publicize or sell the REAL improvement. Now Trump is ruining all of it.
Other recent Democrats were equally bad. Clinton repealed FDR’s laws that constrained the billionaires. Obama had the chance to give us a proper Medicare system. Instead he gave us Romneycare, a Heritage Foundation plan that guaranteed more monopoly and higher prices.
