Sanders has one issue, the high cost of tuition for college. And it really is something we can and should fix.

He is a commie through and through. The college thing is a new Schtick. College costs went crazy 15 years ago. Bernie has been a left wing batshit crazy soviet apologist since the 60’s. Don’t equivocate.

'authoritarian' is really just what happens to weak people who haven't learned the responsibility that comes with power. sorry to go Full Spider-man but it's true. weak people- or people who think they're weak- don't wield power well. Strong people- or people who feel strong- actually do it very well, they've had practice with the consequences of misusing it. Our founding documents wisely assumed the worst in everyone and planned for a government with flawed humans. That's why I think we might even pass their expectations one day, we have many strong and silent among us who don't come out until it really goes bad.

The authoritarian impulse is baked into every human being at birth.

It takes socialization and discipline to keep that tendency under enough control for civilization to continue.

When individuals fail to keep it between the lines, we have a criminal justice system to process them and prisons to warehouse them.

These are the enemies of civilization. Should the collapse ever come, never forget that they are the reason we will not be able to have nice things anymore.
