Bernie Sanders on the Joe Rogan Podcast

[SOMEPARTS]

Enjoyable podcast. I do think he believes in the stuff, but the result either intentional or not - is the destruction of the way the country works.

Still a real head scratcher how you raise minimum wage to $15 and give free healthcare and education to everyone without ending capitalism. In the end I'm just left feeling the guy thinks the govt can make everything fair and wants to change stuff to what smaller countries are doing for the sake of the idea no matter what the damage. I'm not sure how you can't say it's a call for a socialist revolution.

He'll never be the nominee as the dems operate under the same lobbied system he decries. The press never backs him.

Non-interventionist policy and closing the border would get us closer, yes.

No but he asked if he would out the aliens right at the end.

The argument for Medicare for all is that if it were implemented, it would quickly detonate and then we could start from scratch and do healthcare correctly with as many private sector options as possible.

But govt would never give up power after taking it. Never has. End result(if allowed) would be very high end private sector practices. The middle class couldn't afford that, so they pay the taxes and get the same lousy healthcare as somebody who never worked a day in their life.

One of the things that struck me was Bernie saying that somebody could "go to the doctor when they want". Anything run by govt is not on the end user's terms, so verbiage like that is either disingenuous or he doesn't have the ability to identify how poorly govt runs social services from a financial and service perspective.

He’s right that they could go to the doctor, seeing the doctor is another story. Bernie is just a true believer who hates the private sector with a passion. That’s why he’s never worked in it.
