    Generally speaking, I am highly skeptical of politicians with platforms full of policies that they’ve literally never fought for a day in their life.

        I’m skeptical of career politicians who have been talking about the same changes their entire career and taken little to no action. I’m also skeptical of politicians who seem to be re-running their 2016 campaign.

        don't forget #Disney! Also, Bernie Sanders shamed #Walmart back in 2016 to raise their hourly wage to get this: $10hr... that's all they could muster. smh #Bernie2020!

        I've got a feeling the former HUD director who oversaw the largest decline in black home ownership in US history probably isn't the best voice for reparations.

        You mean like Bernie Sanders no diss. He legislated in the whitest states In this nation yet he is a champion of black folks.. He routinely all live matters race talks and chokes up in regards to anything of depth regarding black folk... I'm not Bernie hater but that's just real

        And when asked to name policies he’d legislated that benefits Black people, after saying he’s done so much for Civil Rights, he couldn’t think of one thing. Also he hates monetary reparations for Black people, but was OKAY, with monetary reparations for Jews!

        I’m generally skeptical of politicians that have ostensibly fought for something for decades but have nothing to show for it in the way of enacted legislation. Sure it’s great sound bites but I want people that can get something done, even if not everything they want.

        I am generally sceptical of the politicians who attack their allies more often than they attack our common enemies. Bernie's votes on Russia sanctions: 2012 no, 2014 voice vote with no record, 2015 wasn't a vote on Russia, 2017 no, 2019 no. And still no tax returns.

        Hi Shaun, I'm all for giving Bernie and all candidates the benefit of the doubt. But, would like to know what's your position on Bernie releasing his tax returns?

        I agree, he said he will release 10 years of his tax returns though. So if he doesn’t do it then that criticism will be valid

        In my opinion tax returns should be released as soon as a candidate throws their hat into the race. So as far as I'm concerned, all these candidates seeking the Dem nomination should have already made their tax returns available, especially Trump.
