Better to Rule in Hell... comes to mind

Socialism: Like a skyscraper crane about to topple in high winds, Venezuela is teetering on the brink of a horrific economic collapse. It was brought on by one thing: socialism, taken to the hilt. Yet incredibly, neither Bernie Sanders nor his voters make this connection. It’s worrisome that so many Americans see socialism in a favorable light these days. A May 2015 YouGov poll showed that socialism was viewed favored favorably by 43% of Democrats, while a June 2015 Gallup poll showed that 47% of Americans would vote for a socialist. It points to a collective loss of memory. After all, it’s been decades since the fact that the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet empire collapsed. As chess champion Garry Kasparov has noted in “Winter Is Coming,†there have been no truth commissions or victory parades to institutionalize the monstrous idea’s discreditation and demise. In fact, the idea seems to be resurging in the U.S. Democratic Party, even with examples of its failures continuing, the latest example being Venezuela.

Venezuela is horribly socialist, but what’s the real issue here.
Bernie is hot because Hillary is a ‘fake progressive’ just like Rubio, Bush, Kasich, and Christie are ‘fake conservatives’.
“We the People” are fed up with politicians who are being bought by the business and banking elites who pretend the economy is booming while the working people regardless of political affiliation suffer from the Uniparty that’s spent the last 10 years or more bailing out bankers with TARP, the healthcare industry with Obamacare and the list goes on.
The burden is on our backs and no wonder people turn to Trump and Sanders for better or worse.
The Uniparty elites can stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Plutarch-"Having received the government of Farther Spain after his praetorship, he came to a little town in passing the Alps; and his friends, by way of mirth, took occasion to say, "Can there here be any disputes for offices, any contentions for precedency, or such envy and ambition as we see among the great?" To which Caesar answered, with great seriousness, "I assure you I had rather be the first man here than the second man in Rome."
If you understand that, you understand everything.
Liberals/Progressives/Communists, would burn this country to the ground so long as they could be Kings of the Ashes.

Cause no journalist he chooses to talk to is asking them.
Why answer if you're not asked?
And he won't be asked. Not by any American journalist.
You can’t buy toilet paper in Venezuela. I don’t suppose that matters if you can’t buy food.
Why isn’t he answering questions about his writings - that women secretly long to be gang-raped?
Commies like sanders and hiliary don’t give an eff how screwed up their political philosophy is. The objective is control, and control only.
