Isn't is just as condescending to lump all liberal voters together as lower class handout collectors? I reckon that, for every person that votes liberal to get unfair handouts, there's a republican on the other side who's only voting for his own wallet, as well.
Bernie is a lot more about not having a president in office who's pretty much owned by corporate America than about giving handouts left and right to whoever wants some money. These companies are not lobbying and buying presidents into the White House because they feel like citizens deserve a good president.

As far as me "lumping all liberals" together, the ONLY reason I did that was to show how Dakota thinks as far as republicans. To him, we all are "EVIL RICH PEOPLE THAT WANT TO SCREW THE LOWER CLASS". Believe me, I am ANYTHING but rich. I live on under a thousand dollars a month. (More like barely survive, then LIVE) yet I see the damage the liberal party has done to this country. And Bernie Sanders (or Hillary Clinton) will make it even worse. If you have read Dakota's postings for the last several years, you would understand what I'm saying. He has NEVER been kind or understanding in any way to anyone that doesn't agree with him. Even with my last post, I came no where NEAR as condescending or disrespectful as he has constantly been in his bashing of anyone on the other side of the fence.
Both the democrats and republicans have been the "status quo" for years. The last president I really respected was Ronald Reagan.
(Who I KNOW was hated by the left).
So I have no clue if Trump will be any better then the "norm". But the guy doesn't have to worry about being bought by anyone, as he has enough money of his own.
People vote for the most part for their own good, not for the good of the country as a whole. At least that's what I have seen and heard over the years. It's a "what will you do for ME" world now. And that's not necessarily good for the country.
That's where I point out that a lot of the liberal voters (not ALL, but many) vote for the guy that promises to fill their pockets.
But just like Obama, it never really happens. He's had 8 years of promises, and hasn't help the middle and lower class like he said he would.
Like I have stated before, Obama care has been awful. Yes, if you are upper middle class or higher, you might survive the monetary hit. But If you are just squeaking by, it puts you in a no win position.
