I cannot understand how the good people of Vermont would elect a radical communist like Bernie Sanders. I do not believe I am alone in my thinking. Sander’s radical ideology and clear communist sympathies are inconsistent with the motto of Vermont. I find Sanders a repulsive creature, a politician of the lowest order. The voters of Vermont should send this leftist radical packing in the next election and not just kick him out of office. If Sanders likes communism so much perhaps he should relocate to Venezuela where he could be a member of the socialist elite and enjoy all the privilege’s of a communist dictatorship? What a pathetic, repulsive, creature he is!
