I don’t support Bernie Sanders, because he’s a senile old Yiddish communist. From [praising food shortages and bread lines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiM-yNEQ93I) to [extolling virtues of USSR](https://twitter.com/doranimated/status/1099103396928335872?lang=en) just a few years before that country collapsed, Bernie proved himself to have absolutely no moral integrity or compassion for millions of people, who suffered under oppressive Socialist rule. Nathan Scharansky, Ida Nudel, Felix Kandel and others like them would still be languishing in GULAG for the crime of being Jews, had it not been for men like Roland Reagan, who relentlessly pressured Soviets for their release, while, at the same time, moral degenerates like Bernie praised food shortages and one of the most inhumane and repressive regimes in world’s history. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-dont-you-support-bernie-sanders-if-you-dont/835632)._
