People saying he's unrealistic are incredible.
I mean what do you want a presidential candidate to do? Be moderate, and start in the middle with what they think is realistic?
Obviously some of what he says won't happen. You can see this in the courtroom though, where one person is suing the other. Do they start with a realistic number? No they start high, and compromise.
Bernie represents hope. It's so insanely pessimistic to me to think that because he actually wants to do the most as a president, you think he deserves the least amount of votes, or at least not yours. Republicans will try to get him to compromise regardless, even if he was in the middle, they are going to disagree no matter what. If he stays strong in his ideas, if he keeps fighting to make a big difference however, maybe he won't accomplish EVERY thing he promises, but that's no reason at all to not vote, as he will undoubtedly accomplish some if not most, or at least fight for what he promised.
Whether his plans are "Realistic" is irrelevant to whether or not they are possible. As long as they are possible, the only grounds in which you should be choosing to vote for him or not should be based on whether or not you agree with his policies.
I could say more but I am struggling to find the right words. I just think this is such a ridiculous and irrelevant argument. I'll leave you with this:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." - Marrianne Williamson.
People want change so bad, a candidate finally comes along that agrees, and advocates for all the changes they wanted, and they turn around and say "Ahh that'll never happen. It's unrealistic". Why did I post that quote? Because these people that won't vote for him because of this are not afraid of what will happen if he doesn't follow through on the change he's promised, their deepest fear is of what will happen if he does. Bernie represents hope, a light per-say, and for some people it is light, not darkness that most frightens them.

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
