| Topic | Does Bernie Sanders have too many fringe opinions to actually win the election? |

Well, for starters, the idea that we can stop Iranian conflict by sitting confirmed terrorists down in a room for diplomatic discussion (literally "negotiating with terrorists") is a hard sell. Granted, I'm not saying his ideas don't sound good in theory (it'd be AWESOME if we could actually negotiate peace by words alone with people who have been taught to chant "Death to America" since their childhood), but that comes across as naive at best when you compare it with actual historical attempts at "diplomacy" in the Middle East. Even if we DO want diplomacy with them, they sure as shit don't want diplomacy with us. Mind you, that's just on foreign policy. We haven't even started talking about his socialistic tendencies. Not sure if you were actually looking for a serious response here, but pretty much everyone who's taken 7th grade social studies can see some kinks in Bernie's proposed plans. --- Money is overrated... ...
