He sounded like someone doing research which is what he was doing there.

Journalists don't only research things they think are good.

Bullion, whilst I may not be a Bernie fan I have to give this to the guy. He went as a reporter to interveiw a communities lifestyle, that doesn't make him beholden to them. He's an observer. What they get up to is up to them. I mean yeah the Right wing will shred him with this but they'd do that to anyone

Journalists gets their hands dirty for research, and this is supposed to be something he wants to do in a large scale to American society.

A reporter for a better socialist party newsletter. Not an independent newspaper. This was not going to be a critical piece.

That still doesn't change my statement.

It does. Sanders was not a journalist. He was a political operative tasked with writing up anti-establishment (including anti-science) pieces for Movement. Bernie was not Bernstein.

When has Bernie said he wants the American people to start living in communes like hippies?

Sanders' is advocating for changing the system, not maintain the status quo. A big motivation for socialists flocking to him is that he'll be a major figure is altering society to suit their needs. If he's not serious about this why is he running?

Then slam him for that and outline it like that, cause from my POV it initially looks like your shitting on a journalist for...doing his job.

That tells you why he's running. There's nothing about wanting to make Americans live like hippies.

Exactly.

Has everyone else seen some kind of blood oath that Sanders signed?

One other thing...

Let's be straight with each other for a minute about communes.

That there is an "I Am The Most Straight Edge!!!!..." buddy there who is just waiting to take others to task because they aren't pulling the weight that he is?

That ain't exactly one that I would have a hard time believing was actually the case.

Since when is the equation...

"Not Maintaining The Status Quo" = "Everyone Winds Up In A Commune"

?????

He was not a journalist. How many time do I have to repeat that? Why do I have to repeat myself four times on some things?
