    Yes morons but Bernie also thought chevez's Venezuela was a good model and was praising them not that long ago. He does not have a good track record.

      When Sanders' name appears in a headline, it becomes impossible to distinguish centrists from trumpists. The talking points are identical.

        I love when people bring up Venezuela in contexts that have nothing to do with Venezuela, especially when it is clear those people only know about Venezuela as far as it is useful as a bogeyman to hold up and point at to scare us into not getting upset about how we are getting ripped off by rich people here in the US. Like, what do yall actually know about Venezuela as a country, culture and place? Anything?

        Trump is a piece of crap but Bernie is not particular smart either. I would take Bernie over Trump but Bernie makes great promises knowing he will never be in power to pay for it.

            So a guy makes a completely truthful statement and people want to ignore it. Are people here a bunch of Trump supporters in that inconvenient truths must require personal insults? Or is it only children on this site?

              He's saying it's out of context.

              Also, even without taking into account context and assuming your statement was the whole truth. He shouldnt be discounted just for a single opinion on the positive aspects of a country's government, that you disagree with. If that's the worst gotcha you can come up with for a politician, they must be the cleanest politician in the world.
