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

He was known for fighting off ISIS, improving relations between Iraq and Iran, and was on his way to a peace talk when he was killed. That's it. Even if you sugar-coat the man Soleimani was (another "Austere Religious Scholar" is ruthlessly killed, eh Washington Post?), you must have missed the "Death to America" history lesson. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/02/18/the-history-of-death-to-america/ I can't say I'm surprised. Bernie supporters tend to wear blinders almost just as badly as Trump supporters. This Iranian sentiment has been going on since the late 70s, and anti-american chants are indoctrinated into Iranians from childhood. Not sure if you're trying to troll here, but basic understanding of history (ANY level, from grade school to post-grad scholarship) will give ample evidence of both Soleimani's underhanded deeds, and Iran's systemic anti-western propaganda. Soleimani was a freakin monster, and even democrats didn't really mourn his demise (as Bernie Sanders himself acknowledged.) They were glad to see him go, but they feared the repercussions. (It's also rather hilarious how inept Iran's repercussions were. Heck, they shot down their own civilian plane in the "retaliation.") Trying diplomatic strategies with people so openly hostile to you is, at best, naive as hell. At worst, it's reckless with the potential to be devastating. --- Money is overrated... ...
