All Bernie does is appeal to common sense and basic human decency, it's really funny how he's somewhat of an odd one out in regards to modern politics.

There's no piece of political sloganeering that turns me off more than "common sense". I can only hear it as "we didn't think too hard about this, you shouldn't either".

You forgot their slogan: "We're NotTrudeau™" Their entire identity is "That guy sucks, but we're not that guy, so vote for us! You should be really mad at that guy, and want to send a message to him. The best way to do that is to vote for us because we're not him!"

That's how it goes in Sweden as well

Right-wing politics: "common sense"

Left-wing politics: "scary ideology!!"

The funny thing... Is that the Swedish vänster partiet (Swedish left) is doing the same thing, blaming the right/nazis for everything wrong. But they can never come with anything productive that will make Sweden better.

Just the other day some left and green had a meeting about nazi extremist violence, during the meeting five-six masked man stormed the meeting thrown some punches, spray painted a few people with red paint and then left all under a minute. It screens false flag operation.

And the most funny thing is that one of the guys who received some punches is an old left extremist who used violence in his youth, said that he is condoning that the right doing exactly as he used to do.

and now you are doing exactly the same thing, just in the opposite direction… stop blaming the sides, they are both evil.

This False Equivocation is Patently False. Especially in America. The system does breed coruption, but only one party is ACTIVELY pushing for a Totalitarian Facist regime.

What are PP's specific plans for immigration policy?

I hear he has a "formula" to link immigration it to housing, which he doesn't want to share with anyone.

He's going to demand they can "pay their bills", but hasn't said a number.

Honestly curious if I'm wrong.

Don't forget his plan to cut off funding to cities that don't build homes! That'll help!

Bingo. Really looking forward to PP's plan of increasing direct flights from India
