Why ideology of Bernie is outright dangerous ?

Good to see South Carolina democratic party is united behind Biden. If Dems are serious about winning presidency, they need to field a practical candidate. Bernie is talking nothing new that world had not heard before from Jesus, Muhammad and Karl Marx. Yet the consequence of those calls for justice and equality have been devastating on world history. Christianity preached same message as that of Bernie- justice and equality. End result ? Western civilization that started with classical Greece collapsed and Europe plunged into dark age. Why Newton and Galileo had to wait 1500 years after Athens ? Because Christianity pushed back the wheels of civilization. Rome and Greece flourished in Stoicism- foundation of modern Western Civilization. Christianity killed the excellence achieved by Stoicism. Same history is true with Islam. It has great message of equality and justice. Ideologically great stuff. Yet Islamic civilization created one of the bloodiest, unjust and ...

Democratic Primary- No decent candidate that can beat Trump

Democratic primary is getting complicated. Due analysis is required. (1) Bernie has trounced his opponents yesterday in Nevada. This shows left votes have consolidated behind him. But it was a caucus and not a closed primary. In caucus, left leaning candidates will have advantage since independents can vote. Last time in closed primary, Bernie was totally obliterated while he did well in caucus. (2) Issue is, selecting him as Dem nominee means another 4 years of Trump. He can't beat Trump. Because there are a lot of Democrats, perhaps more than leftists believe in market capitalism but a better capitalism.

Besides Bernie and his team are radical and undemocratic. They do not believe in inclusion and difference in opinion. Simply put, they display all the paraphernalia of a communist mindset. T...

Why I will not vote for Bernie

Dear Bernie Army   I had to write this out. So that you can clearly understand my position and why I think Bernie and his ideals are dangerous for USA.   I am a Dem Card Holder and voted for Dem President in last two elections. I also voted in last primary where I have opted for Hillary over Bernie.  I am a pacifist. I also do not like US is wasting nearly trillion of dollars in military. But being a technologist I do support R&D in Military techn to safeguard our interest. But that won't cost us more than $100B! I do support free public education and community owned healthcare. By no means, I am a die-hard capitalist. I know what would work in capitalism and what will not. And yet, I am telling you Bernie is the worst choice among all the presidential candidates.   Please do understand we are going through a radical phase of transformation driven by automation technology.  If you elect a president who has no clue for future, future will dump us.
