You believe Sanders when he says he's a democratic socialist? lol. I love being called politically clueless by Bernie Sanders supporters. Awesome. Bernie Sanders policies would bury this country. Feel free to champion his policies in the democratic thread.
I don't think Sanders is a communist in the classic sense. He's not a real big fan of runaway unfettered Capitalism. He's talking about reversing almost 40 years of Reaganomics, not starting gov't run communes or gov't taking over private companies. He's talking more Wall St. regulation and keeping Banks honest and I don't see a real problem with that at all. All too often, folks want to put a negative label on ideas that run counter to what benefits their own interests. I can understand why a Hedge fund Manager, Bank Presidents, Wall St. Brokers and the Military/Industrial Complex would hate Sanders, but the 99% has nothing to fear from him. Lucky for the GOP, the working man doesn't mind getting buttfucked as he's become so used to it that he doesn't know any other way to live.
He's talking about giving away a whole lot of "free" shit and taxing the fuck out of people. I call him a commie partly tongue in cheek, but if you look at his history - you won't have trouble linking him with communists and communist ideas. but really - feeling the bern should be happening in the other thread. he's certainly no fan of the gop.
Agreed. Not sure who brought up the Bern in this thread but it should be in the Dem thread and not this one.
I didn't see the Dem thread. Anyway looks like this discussion has a lot more action. I haven't read back in this thread but who are the republicans here supporting? And are you not embarrassed with the current field? What happened to the Eisenhower republicans? Eisenhower was almost to the left of Sanders btw.
Has America ever elected a President who debated in glasses? Get some contacts Jeb. Seriously, the GOP electorate is way down on intellectuals and smart people in general and Jeb Bush looks way too smart to be worth voting for. He looks like the perfesser.
I just can't picture myself voting for any of these morons. Trump is an idiot who will bankrupt us financially and morally. Cruz is way too right of middle to be taken seriously. Carson's a fucking moron in general. Rand Paul is the only reasonable one out of the bunch. Rubio is decent but I don't see him having the spine to accomplish anything. And while I love C^2, his attitude turns off too many people.
It seems like there are a lot of people who think Rand is the best choice of the bunch but for whatever reason he continues to be way down in the polls. I've read in several places he has one of the best organizations in Iowa. Hopefully he can surprise there. If he doesn't make top 3 in Iowa he's probably done.
Teddy fucking Roosevelt wore glasses... Truman?... Glasses are the least of anyone's problem...I have a bigger issue with Trump's spray tan
Decent in what way? Looks? If there's someone among them who's 100% controlled by the big money, it's him. No wonder Fox News has been trying to prop him up so relentlessly.
John Boehner played the spray tan for decades and kept getting re-elected. Mitt tried it when he wanted to pass for Latino.
