Sanders has [[Bernie Bros|a following]].  He provides his supporters with good policy:  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]], except actual Marxists desire the state to wither away so that's another contradiction, also do you all have an issue with free college or something? He is a radical aka based as hell socialist who supports pro-[[abortion]] movements, such as [[Planned Parenthood]] which is very cool since being pro-life is a horrible policy prescription.
