    Saw an interview of Bernie Sanders in 2003. This level of ignorance was manufactured by the GOP by creating millions of single issue voters. It’s all about divide and conquer. If you look at GOP rhetoric it’s always issues meant to divide the people. Abortion, lgbtq, war. Instead of voting based on a platform, now millions of people vote based off abortion or Gaza for example. This is how they get people to vote against their own interests
