I agree with Bernie on almost everything but if he is the nominee I will vote for one of the Republican nut jobs to maintain the Western Civilization Comfort Lie for my children without a iota of guilt. Of course if I get laid off before hand Bernie can burn it all down.LoathedVermin72 wrote:this makes me nervous about bernie, admittedlybada wrote:If you mostly agree with a politician but he/she wants to eliminate the industry you work in should you still vote for them?
I am totally with him on most issues (even though the way he frames his positions is maddeningly vague and platitudinous), but I do wonder about the whole "break up the banks" thing. I don't understand what he expects to happen after that's done? It's not like we just suddenly won't need banks anymore. I don't know how it's going to fix anything.bada wrote:I agree with Bernie on almost everything but if he is the nominee I will vote for one of the Republican nut jobs to maintain the Western Civilization Comfort Lie for my children without a iota of guilt.

it's not that we don't need banks, they just need to be limited in size so that if one goes under it doesn't hold the entire economy hostageLoathedVermin72 wrote:I am totally with him on most issues (even though the way he frames his positions is maddeningly vague and platitudinous), but I do wonder about the whole "break up the banks" thing.

That makes sense. I guess I just wonder about what this would look like in reality. Especially since, in my experience, small banks suck for day-to-day purposes.cutuphalfdead wrote:it's not that we don't need banks, they just need to be limited in size so that if one goes under it doesn't hold the entire economy hostageLoathedVermin72 wrote:I am totally with him on most issues (even though the way he frames his positions is maddeningly vague and platitudinous), but I do wonder about the whole "break up the banks" thing.

Well if you aren't with him on all the issues what will you do?!LoathedVermin72 wrote:I am totally with him on most issues (even though the way he frames his positions is maddeningly vague and platitudinous), but I do wonder about the whole "break up the banks" thing.

I've had much better experiences as a customer of a smaller bank than I have had as a customer of say BoA.LoathedVermin72 wrote:That makes sense.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the guy in general. Like I said, I find him frustratingly vague. But that said, I would probably vote for him for his views on single-payer healthcare, which might be the single most important issue for me right now. Also, I trust him on social issues, which are of roughly equal importance to me.E.H.

I've been with Chase, BOA, US Bank, and a smaller bank.

I was with BOA for a brief couple of years in my early twenties, but other than that I've always been with a smaller community bank. I get the services I need there, I'm not fee'd to death, and I can use any ATM I want. BOA offered no advantage to me that would justify supporting a company that contributed to the financial collapse of this country.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I've been with Chase, BOA, US Bank, and a smaller bank.

I'm sure this kind of stuff all varies by region and the bank in question, but it's not even close for me. The kind of services and conveniences Chase offers (in my area, that is) are light years ahead of the competition.cutuphalfdead wrote:I was with BOA for a brief couple of years in my early twenties, but other than that I've always been with a smaller community bank.

Sounds like an enterprising entrepreneur should set up a decent community bank in your area, the market is ripe for it.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I'm sure this kind of stuff all varies by region and the bank in question, but it's not even close for me.
