Bernie Sanders is taking on the Federal Reserve. Shouldn't everyone vote for him just on that alone?
He wants to take on the Fed so the Treasury simply hands out money to everyone. Hardly a good way to go if you want to have a strong currency.
It's a shame about Bernie. Why do politicians like Jeremy Corbyn and him have to couple their sense of social justice and anti-corruption with socialist radicalism. In fact, Bernie Sanders has a lot to learn from Jeremy Corbyn's recent experience as the leader of his party. Idealism will only get you so far.

This is shaping up to be a very depressing election. I can't think of one candidate fit to lead the free-world. At least none among the favorites.

I wonder what she was actually doing to protest. Deliberately making a nuisance of yourself will get you booted out of most places. Put on a hijab and all of the sudden everyone you're pissing off look like bigots.
If she'd been wearing a Trump for president t-shirt and cheering in support, I doubt she'd have been jeered and ejected from the rally. Hijab or no.

There's a term for this - dog whistling? Gas lighting? I dunno, but it smells very fishy to me.

I understand what you are saying, I thought it as well, but when people are throwing their support to a ban on Muslims I understand the protest. More than anything it shows how ridiculous his supporters are, going from being friendly to turning completely. Classic case of pack mentality.

"radicalism".

And I'd argue that a sense for social justice and leftist economic policies pretty much have to.go hand in hand when thought through.
