Sanders has a devout and [[violent]] following, made up of many of the same people that voted for [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. He tickles his supporters' ears with all the usual [[Marxist]] claptrap: banks are bad, equality, the middle class, minimum wage, free healthcare, free college, a government so big it will be like living in a [[utopia]].

==Presidential campaigns==
''[[USA Today]]'' reported a [[The_indictment_of_12_Russian_nationals,_13_July_2018#Use_of_Organization_1|37-page indictment]] from special counsel [[Mueller office|Robert Mueller’s investigation]] shows that Russians worked to boost the campaign of Bernie Sanders to damage [[Hillary Clinton]]. The Russians “engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders."<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/02/17/indictment-russians-also-tried-help-bernie-sanders-jill-stein-presidential-campaigns/348051002/</ref>

Sanders reminisced about his drunken honeymoon to ''[[Time magazine]]'' in his beloved [[USSR|Soviet Russia]]: {{quotebox|"on our honeymoon, I took Jane to [[Russia]], back when it was still known as the Soviet Union. Russia was an incredible place back then, before the billionaires ruined everything. Who needs 30 different types of deodorant anyway? In the glory days of the [[Soviet Union]], there was one brand, it was called “Deodorant,” and you had to wait four hours in line for it. By the time you got your hands on one, you were sweating so badly, not even the greediest billionaire’s fanciest deodorant could mask the stench. Or as I call it: The sweet smell of [[equality]]!"<ref>https://www.trumprussiaconspiracy.com/2019/01/29/bernie-sanders-and-wife-on-their-honeymoon-in-russia-singing-this-land-is-your-land-with-their-russian-comrades/</ref><ref>https://medium.com/the-haven/bernie-sanders-reminisces-about-honeymoon-in-soviet-union-bcbe3537e06c</ref>}} Vladimir Putin commented on the glory days of the Soviet Union: {{quotebox|"Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.}}
===2020 campaign===
Sanders hired [[Paul Manafort]] partner [[Tad Devine]] as an advisor on both his 2016 and 2018 campaigns. Devine managed [[Putin]] ally [[Viktor Yanukovych]] campaign for the presidency of [[Ukraine]]. Upon Sanders announcement of his intention to run, Sanders immediately shot up as the top frontrunner of Democratic hopefuls in the [[2020 Presidential election]].
True to his Marxist convictions, Sanders claims that his own words "mischaraterize" his thinking.<ref>https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1144436123122524161</ref>
====Staff====
See: [[Individuals who have served on Bernie Sander's staff]]
=====Anti-Semitism=====
A senior political advisor to Sanders and former adviser to the anti-Semitic [[Women's March]], Winnie Wong, tweeted a gif of [[far left]] [[UK]] [[Labour Party]] leader and [[anti-Semite]] [[Jeremy Corbyn]] dancing on the grave of former [[Prime Minister]] [[Margaret Thatcher]]. The gif also contains a [[Rose (symbolism)|Red Rose]], the symbol of the global socialist movement and conspiracy.<ref>https://tenor.com/view/corbin-corbyn-maggie-thatcher-dance-gif-7229175</ref> after Conservative Party Prime Minister [[Theresa May]]resigned in the Spring of 2019. Wong tweeted the image and wrote, "Jeremy Corbyn's gonna to be the next PM of England. That's gonna be so much fun."<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/sanders-advisor-tweets-gif-of-jeremy-corbyn-dancing-on-margaret-thatchers-grave/</ref> Thatcher, who was British PM at the demise of the [[Soviet Union]] famously said, "There is no alternative to [[capitalism]]."
=====Sexual violence=====
Sanders ran a campaign that was rife with sexual violence and harassment against males, females, and other genders. Sanders ignored complaints from at least two dozen [[male]] and female volunteers (and however many other genders) of "sexual [[violence]] and harassment" in his [[2016 presidential election|2016 presidential campaign]].<ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/30/bernie-sanders-campaign-harassment-1077014</ref> ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported that Sanders had apologized to female victims of sexual violence who "were not treated properly",<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/politics/sanders-sexism-apology.html</ref> however male victims of sexual violence in the Sanders campaign have not been addressed. Secondly, a mere "apology" does not address the serious issue of sexual violence in the Sanders campaign. No single person has been reported to have been arrested or disciplined.
=====Starvation wages=====
While Sanders vowed a $15 minimum wage, he was only paying campaign workers $13 an hour. Many complained of poor working conditions. In response, Sanders raised pay to $15 an hour and cut their hours.<ref>Kirkwood, R. Cort (July 19, 2019). [https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/32891-sanders-starving-campaign-workers-ask-for-another-bowl-of-gruel Sanders’ Starving Campaign Workers Ask for Another Bowl of Gruel].

''The New American''. Retrieved July 22, 2019.</ref> Loss of hours and part-time status had the effect of reducing healthcare benefits.
=====Unfair labor practices=====
Sanders’ campaign was hit with an unfair labor practice complaint alleging illegal employee interrogation and retaliation against staffers. The complaint to the [[National Labor Relations Board]], lists five potential violations of the National Labor Relations Act. The charge also alleges that the campaign unlawfully discharged an employee, modified a labor contract, and engaged in illegal discipline.<ref>https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/sanders-white-house-campaign-hit-with-federal-labor-complaint</ref>
====Racism====
Bernire Sanders said of [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]]: {{quotebox|Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in [[North Korea]]. That is a disgrace.<ref>https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/728278867639676930</ref>}} Sanders further added, "anyone who took the walk that we took around this Baltimore neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation, you'd think that you were in a Third World country”.

=====New Jim Crow=====
:{{See also|The New Jim Crow}}
Bernie Sanders voted for the Clinton era 1994 Crime bill,<ref>https://www.vox.com/2016/2/26/11116412/bernie-sanders-mass-incarceration</ref> authored by Sen. [[Joe Biden]]. The bill added more than forty crimes that would be eligible for the [[death penalty]]. The [[NAACP]] and other groups lobbied against the bill.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/27/us/civil-libertarians-go-after-crime-bills.html</ref>
By 2001, the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. [[Human Rights Watch]] reported that in seven states, [[African American]]s constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level they had been under [[Ronald Reagan]].<ref>[https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/ Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote], Michelle Alexander, ''The Nation'', February 10, 2016</ref>
Among other provisions, the bill targeted "Superpredators," and handed out 20 year mandatory sentences for gang membership or recruiting. The bill did "everything but hang people for jaywalking.”<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=AK_DAwAAQBAJ&lpg=PA141&dq=we%20do%20everything%20but%20hang%20people%20for%20jaywalking&pg=PA141#v=onepage&q=we%20do%20everything%20but%20hang%20people%20for%20jaywalking&f=false The First Civil Right: How Liberals Built Prison America]'', Naomi Murakawa, Oxford University Press, Jul 10, 2014, p. 141.</ref>
====Prison industrial complex====
Sanders adopted [[Linda Evans]] prison industrial complex slogan as part agenda.<ref>https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1104190335805255680</ref> Evans is a [[far left]] radical member of the terrorist group [[Weather Underground]]<ref>http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/horowitz090601.asp</ref> who was convicted and sentenced in 1987 to 40 years in prison in connection with the 1981 Brinks armored truck robbery in which two police officers and a guard were killed. In a second case, she was sentenced in 1990 to five years in prison for [[conspiracy]] and malicious destruction in connection with eight bombings, including the 1983 [[United States Senate]] bombing.
While in prison, she authored ''The Prison Industrial Complex'' with funding from the [[George Soros]] [[Open Society Foundations|Open Society Institute]].<ref>[http://sorosfiles.com/soros/2011/10/soros-funded-media-and-the-glorification-of-the-weather-underground.html Soros-funded Media and the Glorification of the Weather Underground]</ref>
===2016 campaign===
At a press conference on April 30, 2015, Sanders announced his intention to run for the Democrat nomination in the [[2016 presidential election]].<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/29/vermont-sen-bernie-sanders-am-running-for-president/ "Vermont Sen. Sanders announces White House bid, says he's 'running to win'"] (April 30, 2015). FoxNews.com website/Politics.</ref> Sanders accused his main rival, [[Hillary Clinton]] of [[racism]], but in the end he backed the [[racist]] Democrat nominee.<ref>https://youtu.be/hlyx70WQqck</ref>
Sanders calls himself an outsider and anti-[[establishment]]. He has spent the last 40 years in politics, though admittedly, he has never been able to attain the level of "establishment", because he has been unable to be accepted by anyone, nor to receive much support on any of his issues. His own views are the reason why he has long been an "outsider", even though he's been admitted to serve in the government.
Sanders does take pleasure in creating the same straw men as Obama. Specifically, the GOP war on women. Calls to defund [[Planned Parenthood]] is an opportunity for Sanders to denounce the treatment of women. He would kill a child in the womb for any reason and at any term but the GOP is extremist. Sanders will say the GOP wants to deny women's health services. The facts are that 13,000 women's health centers are available that are not owned by Planned Parenthood. He supports babies chopped up and sold for parts. No concern for underage victims of rape not being reported. He is indifferent to the fraudulent billing of the US government.
Class warfare is a favorite theme for Sanders, pitting rich against the poor. His Marxist linchpin is the argument that the banks are too big. He also claims that billionaires are hurting the country, citing the Koch brothers over and over. He believes that America needs to spend another $18 Trillion dollars despite being $18 Trillion in debt. He has also made claims supporting single-payer healthcare, free college tuition, etc.
In one rant, Sanders claimed that Americans needlessly have too many choices when it comes to deodorant brands, noting that he counted 23 different types of the product for sale. Somehow he tied the story into feeding the poor. Reason.com produced a satirical video mocking its absurdity titled "The Bernie Sanders Save the Children Fund".<ref>[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fspZiT8TdBE "The Bernie Sanders Save The Children Fund"] (May 27, 2015). YouTube video, 1:15, posted by ReasonTV.</ref>
He has said that [[America]] is racist, and he frequently puts America down.
Sanders is the author of "Rape Essays," a 1972 essay on sexual behavior filled with lurid sexual fantasies. He claimed that it was a satirical essay against traditional gender roles.<ref>Merica, Don (May 28, 2015).

Retrieved October 11, 2017.</ref>
Sanders uses what some people call [[Christian socialism]] to further his campaign, citing [[Pope Francis]]. However, Sanders cherry picks what elements of Christianity he agrees with and ignores the rest. He told a crowd of 300 in [[Alabama]] that [[Jesus]] was a socialist.<ref>Flynn, Mike (July 14, 2015).
