18. Bernie Sanders never met a literal revolution

Rather a metaphoric one.

Kinda like Thomas Jefferson's Revolution of 1800. Not all revolutions require people to kill or die. Sometimes they are meant as an allusion to a major change to how things are done.

But if we are gonna be Pendantic, calling things revolutionary is a reference to Copernicus and his research and theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun. If we are going to discuss the problems with "revolutions" then you should also add that nothing Bernie is suggesting involves Astronomy.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
