Strong agree; I strongly dislike Sander's policies, but still it's not cool to view him as responsible for the actions of the worst of those who follow him.https://twitter.com/ENBrown/status/1232328388779610112 …

Why do you dislike them? You don't think healthcare should be a human right? You don't think education should be a human right in a modern civilization? Shouldn't we take care of each other - extend the "I" to all the other humans on the planet?

I think he means well, but many bad things have happened as a result of poorly thought out good intentions. I value similar things that he does but believe some of his policies will generally have enough negative side effects that they're bad ideas.

I am genuinely interested in what negative side effects you expect from which policies. Have you already covered this before?

I generally view socialism as quite harmful; he's in favor of increased governmental power and taxation, anti free trade, and his free education thing sounds good but doesn't address root problems, is financially questionable, and locks in college as necessary/important

I've talked about how my deepest value in politics is human freedom, and while admittedly no current candidates are very pro freedom, Sanders is particularly bad

I respect your values but I think they don't mesh with the current reality of our society. I believe someday we will have an enlightened society that can handle bottom-up, anarchistic self-organization, but we don't have that today. Empathy / ethical frameworks aren't there yet.

The wealthy people of the world are engaged in a massive exploitation operation on the working class. They control the levers of power and have manipulated the system to be friendly to them and antagonistic to the poor. What about people's right to freedom from that system?

I think rich people violate poor people's negative rights quite a lot and in my ideal system this would be illegal
