Get ready for a shock: Bernie Sanders is a communist. Get ready for another one: he’s always been a communist. The Vermont Senator and 2020 presidential candidate bills himself as a “democratic socialist” but he’s not really a democrat and his brand of socialism is straight-up USSR-style communism. In the first annual Def-Con News Bernie Sanders Film festival, you’ll get a chance to view Bernie in all of communist glory.
The Reagan Battalion has done a wonderful job of unearthing Bernie videos from days gone by. There’s nothing about how he thinks orgasms cure cancer, that women want to be raped, or that parents should encourage their toddlers to have sex, but there’s a shitload of commie crap. Here’s Bernie talking about the wonders of food lines in failed socialist countries:
Bernie2020 – Make America Venezuela.
Today we promise to do everything we can to protect the United States from the scourge of Socialism that has destroyed millions of lives throughout the years.
Democrats, reject the demise of your party and country, say no to @BernieSanders. pic.twitter.com/t7GkcPQWwQ

“You know, it’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food. That’s a good thing. In other countries, people don’t line up for food. The rich get the food and the poor starve to death,” said Sanders.
Gosh, that is funny. No wait, it’s horrifying that a guy running for President of the United States thinks food lines are a good thing.
Now here’s Bernie and his wife Jane talking up the the former Soviet Union:

Then Bernie gets shitty with a reporter for referring to Nicaraguan strongman Daniel Ortega as a “communist” and “Marxist,” despite the fact that is was both:
🚨 This video is absolutely frightening: 1985: @BernieSanders bashes a reporter for referring to the brutal communist dictator of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega as a Communist and Marxist, and not as the Democratically elected President of Nicaragua, demands that he praise the regime. pic.twitter.com/Dtpr6Jmh3D

“I think the reporting on Nicaragua has been atrocious,” said Sanders.
On top of being a commie, Ortega regularly employs death squads to kill protestors. Is Bernie upset that the news reports on stuff that makes a brutal Marxist dictator look bad?
We know he likes oppressive communist regimes so let’s see what Bernie thinks about Cuba:
Video: @BernieSanders, University of Vermont, 1986, recalls his excitement watching Castro’s revolution “rising up against the ugly rich people.” & his sick feeling watching JFK speak out against communism in Cuba.
Also bashes the @nytimes for lying about communism. pic.twitter.com/OUqzLFbsvz

“I was very excited and impressed by the Cuban revolution,” are words that no US president should even use and yet here’s Bernie saying them. This is disqualifying. Period.
Look for to Bernie star in another film next year called “Losing the Democratic Primaries 2: Communist Boogaloo.” Yes, the democrats have turned decidedly socialist because of him, but they’ve also decided that old white dudes suck so he’ll do worse this time around. He’s already losing key liberal support:
he is too old mike – we dont need another old white man – move on into now #BernieBye #harris2020

When you’ve lost Rosie, you’ve lost because nobody likes lining up for food more than her.
