Bernie Sanders is as far right as I am willing to vote!
Edit:
Bernie supporters apparently don't bother to vote.

State of the Union 2020
I could not watch this without responding to some of the comments.
Trump: The years of economic decay are over (etc.)
This is highly unlikely considering how the deficit is growing. Trump's economic plan of giving huge tax cuts to the rich just creates a huge deficit to pass on to our children.
Trump: Our values are renewed.
Trump as basically destroyed our values by supporting White Nationalists bigots. Now Obama had values.
Trump: From the instant I took office, I moved rapidly to revive the U.S. economy — slashing a record number of job-killing regulations
Many of the regulations Trump slashed were designed to protect our environment, our wildlife, and our economy from reckless practices in the past that lead to the collapse of our economy.
Trump: If we hadn’t reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success.
The Obama administration oversaw one of greatest economic recoveries in history which continued into the next administration, much of Trump's success must be attributed to Obama. He should be thanking him rather than insulting him.
Trump: Under my administration, seven million Americans have come off food stamps, and 10 million people have been lifted off of welfare.
I suspect that there are more people going hungry...
Trump: Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the No. 1 producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world, by far.
OK, this is not a good thing. This is not something to be proud of. Hasn't he ever heard of climate change...oh, yeah, that's right. He does not believe science.
Trump: After losing 60,000 factories under the previous two administrations, America has now gained 12,000 new factories under my administration, with thousands upon thousands of plants and factories being planned or being built.
I remember Trump talking about how great the Foxconn plant was going to be in southerns Wisconsin. That place is a mess. I have been there. There tore up the whole place and there are no jobs. The jobs that were supposed to be coming to Eau Claire mysteriously evaporated with Foxconn pulled out. Thanks Donald.
Trump: Six days ago, I replaced NAFTA and signed the brand-new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement into law. The U.S.M.C.A.
They basically are the same deal. A lot of farmers lost there farms while they were waiting for it.
Trump: That’s why my administration reversed the failing policies of the previous administration on Cuba.
Why would we want to backpedal on Cuba? We finally make some progress on Cuba and Trump dumps it.
Trump: Socialism destroys nations.
At this time let us reflect on some of the programs that have come from socialist ideals: social security, medicare, medicaid, public schools, public roads, the military (oh yeah the military is a government organization).
Trump: It’s called the Space Force.
It's a joke, OK. There is no space force.
Trump: Yet, for too long, countless American children have been trapped in failing government schools.
Now Trump is great a coining phrase to make it sound bad. Instead of saying public schools he is calling them government schools. Sounds bad doesn't it? Think we will be hearing that phrase on the campaign trail? You bet we will! The republican machine has been pulling money out of public education for decades forcing them to fail. Why? Probably so uncertified schools like Trump University can dupe people out of their money and trap them in student loan debt.
Trump: My budget also contains an exciting vision for our nation’s high schools. Tonight, I ask Congress to support our students and back my plan to offer vocational and technical education in every single high school in America.
Wait, what?! Aren't those the failing government schools that you wanted to get the kids out of? Well at least the kids who go to government schools will be able to get a job when they are done thanks to technical education. I guess the student who end up in the charter schools probably won't get the opportunity.
Trump: We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions.
Was this intended as a joke? Trump and the republicans have been trying the get rid of the pre-existing conditions requirement since Trump took office. Doesn't anybody remember anything? Isn't that why John McCain voted against it?
Trump: The American patient should never be blindsided by medical bills..(cut)..But as we work to improve Americans’ health care, there are those who want to take away your health care, take away your doctor, and abolish private insurance entirely.
Yes, I do want to get rid of private insurance. Why have some middle man making a huge profit? No one should have to go broke just because they are sick. I would much rather pay taxes and ensure my heath care is taken care of than pay some ridiculous amounts of money to some for profit hospitals and insurance companies.
Trump: One hundred thirty-two lawmakers in this room have endorsed legislation to impose a socialist takeover of our health care system, wiping out the private health insurance plans of 180 million very happy Americans. To those watching at home tonight, I want you to know: We will never let socialism destroy American health care.
Socialized medicine is going to happen eventually, it is only a matter of time. I would be very happy to replace my private for profit insurance with a public tax thank your very much. It is the for profit health care industry that has already destroyed American health care.
Trump: This will be a tremendous boon to our already very strongly guarded southern border where, as we speak, a long, tall and very powerful wall is being built.
Shouldn't we have been putting that money into health care. Since we need more workers and people are having fewer children shouldn't we actually be increasing immigration. What are you doing to make legal immigration easier?
Trump: And, Rush, in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire, and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, I am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Rush Limbaugh has made a ton of money by promoting government policies that mostly benefit the millionaire class, his class. And by being a jerk. Well, it is too bad he has cancer but maybe he should have lived a better life.
Trump: Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God.
What about us atheists?
Trump: Rocky was at a gas station when this vile criminal fired eight bullets at him from close range, murdering him in cold blood.
Wow, we should really restrict access to dangerous weapons like guns...
Trump: So long as I am president, I will always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Nope
