1985 was a great time to be alive. Reagan was into his fifth year in office, the economy was going strong, and the fall of the USSR was right around the corner. It was a good time to be an American.
But some people were ungrateful, if not wholly ignorant, of the times they were living in or the facts of the tumultuous political world they were inhabiting.
Bernie Sanders was one such person who was yet languishing in political obscurity, and though his politics were less than vogue, he remained determined to spread his lies, ignorance, and degeneracy to as many as he could. This video, filmed in 1985, shows you exactly what kind of man Bernie Sanders was back then.

The person who is delusional here is the person who wrote this article.
You all some truly freaky freaks.
And? What’s wrong with the people of Cuba today? Free education, health care, any college they want for free anywhere ANYWHERE in the world, so what’s wrong with that? Cuban crime rate just under 2%, no homelessness, retired at the age of 55. What’s wrong with that? Anyone have an answer? One out of every eleven citizens in Cuba is a doctor of some sort. Bernie will take this election, the swipe in Canada and the UK it’s happening, no more fear and hate from people like this site.
Wow…this is what you call “truth”? First off, Bernie won the debate, not Hillary. And Second; he made a valid point. The educated want universal health care. The educated want political fairness and proper regulations so that everyone in this country gets a fair shake. The facts are pretty straight forward. Bernie Sanders doesn’t pander, and that scares people like those who wrote the idiotic article above.
I think this is an interesting video, but not particularly relevant to today’s campaign. He is in no way supportive of Castro or of Communism, which is what is implied in the headline–deceptions, once again. I still think Sanders is the best of the lot–for ALL the people!
Still supporting Bernie over here… Even though the nameless author of this article refers to me as “ignorant”. All I heard him say in this snippet was that Castro gave education to the people and they didn’t rise up against him when it seemed they had the chance. I didn’t hear him say that Castro was an awesome guy and he wants to be just like him. Did anyone hear his say that? What am I missing here?
I was old enough to see these folks at that time…and my dad was in Congress. I remember these comments. They aren’t bad. Yes, for many Cubans, Castro did things which improved their lives. Did either Mr. Sanders or I LIKE Castro’s methods? That is a separate query entirely. What Sanders said was and is true. It isn’t an approval of Castro…indeed it rather indicts him of manipulating the poverty and desperation of the Cuban people.
