Sanders: Rethinking ‘Fundamental Tenets’ of America a ‘Silver Lining’ of Coronavirus (Old Commie Push Communism)
Breitbart - Politics ^ | 5-17-2020 | Pam Key

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called “rethinking some fundamental tenets about the way our government and society works,” a “silver lining” of the coronavirus pandemic.

Sanders said, “George, to tell you the truth, that if there’s any silver lining in this midst of this terrible, terrible, and unprecedented moment in American history in terms of the economy and in terms of the pandemic, is that maybe we start rethinking some fundamental tenets about the way our government and society works. And we should ask ourselves, among other things, is health care a human right that all of us deserve? Because we’re human beings. Or is it simply a health care benefit that somehow we lose when we lose our jobs?”

He continued, “You know, Mr. Navarro talked about the great economy, a beautiful economy that existed before the pandemic — well, half of people in America were living paycheck to paycheck. I don’t think it’s beautiful economy that when paychecks stop for two weeks, millions and millions of people don’t have enough money to buy the food that they need to feed their families. We need an economy that works for all, not just Trump and his billionaire friends. ...

He added, “There’s a lot to be done. And if there’s anything that I hope we learn out of this horribly painful experience is that maybe we create an economy and a government that works for all, not just the few and wealthy campaign contributors.”

The old Commie never stops his schtick. Progressives won't be happy until USofA is fundamentally transformed.... Universal Healthcare (i.e. gubmint heathcare, no private insurance), Universal basic income, Billionaires paying their fair share, etc. etc. Unfortunately, these ideas are gaining grounds in young (and not so young) people.

Pelosi et al. wet dream coming true.

Right-minded thinking people would “rethink some fundamental tenets about the way our government and society works”, just not in the way Sanders wanted/described.

Bernie, silver lining??? You worn out old moron!!!! The Communist knowingly gave us this problem. . . your Marxist blood brothers!!!!! To have a silver lining to this, we need to drive the Commies like you out of government, out of our schools and universities, out of our media,and out of control of our big corporations. We need to be loud and clear about the evil human excrement that you and your ilk really are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Porno Bernie talks about living paycheck to paycheck, under his plan he wants us all to live breadline to breadline. Venezuela is wonderful this time of year, why doesn’t Bernie go there to write his porn and live off their gov’t?

The old Commie said, "rethinking some fundamental tenets" means he hates the Constitution and wants to change it to a communist manifesto.🕵️‍♀️
