bernie is a new dealer like FDR, truman, eisenhower, etc.Bernie Sander's praises Fidel Castro on 60 Minutes.
Sanders' remarks came in response to a question by Anderson Cooper about comments Sanders had made in the 1980s assessing that the Cuban people didn't rise up against Castro because of education and health care.
Sanders said "it's unfair to simply say everything is bad" about Castro's regime, noting that he's "very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba."
"When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?" the Vermont independent asked.
Democrats rise up at Sanders praise of Castro
"I think they're outrageous," Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said about Sanders' comments. "I'm sure all those who died at Castro's hands ... and all those who (were) tortured, those who live in my state and suffered enormously under the regime -- the more than million people who fled -- I'm sure they all think that the literacy program was worth all of that."
Many of the outraged Democratic lawmakers represented districts in Florida, a state that is known for its sizable population of Americans of Cuban descent.
"As the first South American immigrant member of Congress who proudly represents thousands of Cuban Americans, I find Senator Bernie Sanders' comments on Castro's Cuba absolutely unacceptable," Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell wrote in a pair of tweets.
"The Castro regime murdered and jailed dissidents, and caused unspeakable harm to too many South Florida families. To this day, it remains an authoritarian regime that oppresses its people, subverts the free press, and stifles a free society," she added.
"It's not because 'he educated their kids, gave them health care' it's because his opponents were jailed, murdered or exiled," Rubio said.
americans forgot their own history. FDR was president for 12 years.

America has forgot( really failed to teach) world history and the failure of socialism.
Old deal with an old dealer.
The great literacy program he speaks of was brain washing kids about how great Castro , Cuba, and the revolution, and socialist/commies are and how everything thats wrong in your world is because of America.
cuba does alot of things better than america. america does things better than cuba. yall can learn from each other instead of lying to yourself that youre free, the best, etc.
capitalism is failing before us. why do you think trump and bernie are so popular? the government is completely broken and bought off by capitalists, the capitalists have outsourced alot of the jobs, and the capitalists and government have driven up the prices in things like healthcare, housing, etc putting the nail in the coffin for the middle class. not even taling about global warming.

I've been a little annoyed that Cabot's habanero cheddar still hasn't shown up at my local warehouse a month after someone posted about it on the Costco subreddit.

They kept warm by the endless, burning, piles of corpses of the very "loved" ones they informed on to the beloved party. They didn't really need public transit, the barracks at the labor camps were forced march distance from the factories and fields.
