I think the point I wanted to make was more like "calling Sanders a communist is very reductive and is extrapolating a lot of basic principles"

@tiffany What was Sander's deal anyway? I know Clinton's is "I'm a friendly meme! really! I'm not corrupt at all, pay no mind to all those investigations" and Trump's is "If we give korea and japan nukes and build a wall, america will be great again" but I don't really know much of Sanders.

@nerthos Basically Sanders is an Internet darling for the reasons you might expect: he's very pro-LGBT, racial and gender equality, pro-choice, pro-medicinal marijuana (I think), and pro-youth overall--like he wants to make college cheaper and whatnot. So I guess it's easy to argue that he's more of an idealist than a good politician; in principle everything he's saying is great but in practice it's much easier said than done

@tiffany Oh. Not really my cup of tea in some areas but I see why the "progressive" part of the internet would like him.
