3) He greatly wants to expand government spending and increase taxes. While I think his goals are laudable, I think he is outside what most people would be comfortable with. Bernie Sanders's single-payer plan is almost twice as expensive as he says
4) He wants large tax increases. That may be necessary, but the last time Democrats ran a nominee who called for large tax increases was in 1984. Mondale was right, Reagan did raise taxes in 1986, but Reagan won 49 states because of it, including Vermont.
5) He is not a member of the Democratic Party. He is listed as an Independent, but he is actually a member of the Socialist Party.

Man, what a corrupt bastard. I wouldn't trust him with my goldfish. Come on, man. I know you're trying to summon up some enthusiasm FOR a candidate rather than AGAINST one, but you know Hillary is just another garbage politician. Is she the worst? No. Probably. But she's not someone to get excited over in any way, shape, or form.
