CMV: Bernie Sanders as nominee will push moderate leftists to the right - i.e. Bernie doesn't benefit me.
I see nothing that Bernie can do that makes my life better.
I don't see his economic policies benefitting the nation - a $15 federal minimum wage is absurd for the majority of the country, higher education isn't a right, and I'll be bones on taxes. I think his views on poverty are idealistic at the best and misguided at the worst, his social views (which I agree with) don't address the underlying problems.
Of biggest issue, I think a Bernie presidency brings unprecedented levels of legislative disfunction and a wasted 4 years where nothing is accomplished. Lastly, what brings me here, it could push center-leftists right.
