Sanders has a better chance of defeating Trump than Clinton (new PPP poll has him leading Trump by 20 points). And who said anything about making you give up a chunk of your paycheck? ****, if anything your paycheck will increase. Trump thinks Americans are paid too much, Hllary thinks $250,000 is middle class (that's way upper class). Plus, unlike Hillary, Sanders has always opposed TPP, which is like NAFTA on steroids and probably the biggest power grab by corporations ever. Heck, check out
this write-up about Sanders' run as Mayor of Burlington and tell me that this doesn't sound even a little tempting.
Plus, think about money outside of your paycheck for a second. One of Sanders' first priorities is to break up the Too Big To Fail banks (Hillary's plan was to tell them to "cut it out" and take their money). We can't afford another economic crash, and since the bankers didn't learn their lesson or change their behavior, steps gotta be taken. If we get single payer, companies in the states will be able to compete oon more equal footing with companies in other countries because now we won't have the only companies who have to foot that extra bill. And without the draw of health benefits, companies will need to find other ways to attract the talent they want (more money, better vacations, etc). And your taxes might go up, but you wouldn't have to pay for private insurance (unless you want to, and private insurance would have to become better in order to continue existing, offering service above and beyond the public benefit)... and the amount taken in taxes would be far less than your monthly premium, no doubt, because you have a bigger risk pool. Also, I don't see any other candidate big on taking on climate change. You're complaining it's so hot, dude, it's gonna get worse and you're gonna be paying for that. Global climate change is costing us 1.2 trillion bucks a year, and you don't think you're on the hook for some of that? You are.
Now you got a problem with Sanders? You mention his inexperience with foreign policy, his poor record on gun control, his age, the fact that he doesn't have concrete plans for some of these lofty goals, etc. Legitimate concerns. But don't give me this "90% of your paycheck" scaremongering bullsh1t cause you and I both know that you're SMARTER than that.
