I’m a committed Bernie Sanders supporter, and politically very far left. However, leftists generally and Bernie specifically have some things wrong. Here are three areas where Bernie (and the left) needs to look into the facts with the a cold objective eye and assemble their theory based on that evidence, if they really wish to best serve and preserve human life and joy.
The Wage Gap: (It exists but it is not caused by discrimination, and therefore current proposed legislation would be counter productive.)
Nuclear Power: (It is so hard to find a good starter video that isn’t tied to a particular personality, or is rather long, or extremely specific, etc etc.)
Guns: (Prohibition is no more a solution in the case of guns than it was in the case of alcohol or is in the case of drugs.)
This video is the best I could find. As far as I can tell no one is making the really core argument, that the 2nd amendment is an essential part of the checks and balances that keep our democracy from completely crystallizing into a final stagnant oppressive form.
Here is my essay and debate on the subject: http://underlore.com/2nd-amendment-and-related-links/
