Trump Thread 2.0

Who cares. Bernie isn't running for election. Talk about a straw man argument..

No bro, you guys are literally mentally handicapped. That is the only charitable explanation for your unwillingness to see things for how they actually are. The alternative reading is that you guys are intentionally not using reason and logic and as such you are evil.

I mean, I posted a video of him explicitly claiming to be a democratic socialist...

That's not the same; you claim Sanders "belongs to the group Democratic Socialists of America", then you quickly quote their Wikipedia page and ascribe their exact beliefs to him. The entirety of that is meaningless and inaccurate.

...

Sure Bernie Sanders says he's a "democratic socialist" and many term him a "social Democrat" but in his own words, which is the most important thing, he's basically the second coming of FDR. Sure, the Democratic Socialists of America endorse him, so does the Working Families Party, for that matter. So do a multitude of Democrats and Independents. And so did 1000's of other groups, politicians and people around the globe. He has the highest favorability rating of any politician.

...

Why are you so super sloppy and misleading on purpose? You continually get really slippery with details and the truth on this page. I've never seen someone cherry pick history and stats so much to try and push their mindset on everyone else. Scary.

[MrBurgundy]

Yea, you should post the substantiation for...



You made the claim he "belongs" to this group, so far that's proving to not be true, he just shares similar views and they chose to endorse him. So far you're either proving to be a liar or ignorant, which is it?

I mean, I posted a video of him explicitly claiming to be a democratic socialist. "we're going to win" his own words...

So, what you're trying to say is he's a democratic socialist, but not really? Is he really the democratic socialist and the others are not, or is it the other way around.. I'm confused. Because the actual Democratic Socialists of America endorsed him.

Lol what a load of... SHIT

you guys are literally insane....

Here you go Cale and Philip, straight from BERNIES own site

I literally cannot wait to see what you guys have to say about this...

Please, call me a liar again...

Jesus Christ guys talk about egos.

Don't forget to take notes

Should I post more?

Bernie sanders is exactly that. Bernie belongs to the group democratic socialists of america and they explicitly say that they want to get rid of private wealth and capitalism as a whole

[roguetoaster]

Okay,

well, here's this I guess

Sighhhh

Since you're calling me a liar, you're a retard.. Democratic socialism is democratic socialism. He may be an idependent in office, but he IS a democratic socialist. You're wrong, again. He is everything that a democratic socialist is. Who cares if he's an "independent' on his ticket? He has to put that becuase no one in their right mind wants a socialist lol

I wonder how you're going to discredit this

The label isn't too important in the political sense, but the measure of the man behind it is really what matters.

A pretty good read, with ideas still mostly applicable 100 years later, from a politician who would later be labeled as everything from an imperialist to un-American depending on the objectives of the person applying the label: https://www.mbiconcepts.com/teddy-ro...vidualism.html

[MrBurgundy]

You are wrong / lying as usual: Sanders does not actually "belong to the group Democratic Socialists of America". He's an Independent. And he ran for President twice on the Democratic ticket. And he certainly does not advocate "to get rid of private wealth or capitalism as a whole". He does not advocate for public ownership of production nor seek to abolish the profit system, which are the two core defining characteristics of Socialism. Regulated Capitalism is not Socialism.

But, mischaracterize Sanders and the word "socialism" however you like, it's a free country.

Bernie sanders is exactly that. Bernie belongs to the group democratic socialists of america and they explicitly say that they want to get rid of private wealth and capitalism as a whole

Bernie Sanders is not a communist or a socialist in the ways you want to fear monger about. Yeah, he advocates that Americans should have the right to good jobs and a living wage; Americans should have healthcare as a right and not let it be greatly profited upon, just like it is in every other developed country. Big deal.

We already have Socialism in this country: It's socialism for the rich and most powerful, they get the enormous bulk of handouts, loopholes and tax-breaks. Trump is your king of Socialism for the rich: let's create more tax loopholes, let's bailout Boeing, let's give billions upon billions in handouts to Big Farms that my shitty trade war screwed over; there's just too many instances to even count.

The DSA regards the abolition of capitalism and the realization of socialism as a gradual long-term goal, therefore the organization focuses its immediate political energies on reforms within capitalism that empower working people while decreasing the power of corporations

The DSA characterizes its vision of socialism as an economic system based on maximum decentralization that can be supportive of a range of models for social ownership, including publicly owned enterprises and worker-owned cooperatives. The DSA rejects centralized economic planning in favor of a combination of democratic planning and market mechanisms:^[119] Because the DSA does not believe capitalism and private corporations can be immediately replaced with socialism, it is favorable to using government regulations and organized labor to make private businesses more accountable to the public interest:

Politicians who believe in socialist or communist views, like Bernie Sanders, are very, very, VERY dangerous. The only reason you think Bernie is "a good man" who "cares about real, everyday people" is because he has the "He looks like a guy I can have a beer with" effect on you. Just like Barack Obama did on people who voted for him back in 2008. Just like George Bush did on people who voted for him back in 2000. What did Obama do after he got elected in 08? Pass oppressive healthcare legislation and bomb other countries in the middle east, both of which drove up Federal debt. Same with idiot Bush and his invasion of Afghanistan (look at long that raged on) right after 9/11, just drove this country into further bankruptcy. And the fat orange that throws tantrums (Trump) is currently shooting up the debt with stupid legislation like the CARES act. If Bernie, or anyone like him, is ever elected President, this country will be fucked financially in short order.

Every single country where communism or hardcore socialism have been implemented have eventually gone bankrupt with the majority of the population ending up in poverty and/or living under oppressive government regimes.

Sanders has a history of praising oppressive dictators (link: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...-hes-dangerous). I would NOT want someone like that running the United States of America. But unfortunately, this country will probably end up with a socialist president within one/two cycles (and that could even end up being Trump himself) because Americans have socialist fever now...

Thank you for your concern, but I am secure in this belief. You read that Washington Examiner and say "He has a history of praising oppressive dictators" ... Here is exactly what Sanders said in Anderson Cooper's faux "gotcha" moment your article is referring to: "We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba. But, you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program."

He gave credit where credit is due: Cuba had a massive literacy program, which made a difference. And they actually have relatively excellent healthcare. For Sanders to acknowledge both positives and negatives in other countries no matter our histories with them is a strength. Most importantly, this can be said of his frank and honest assessments of Israel, Saudi Arabia, and China -- something establishment politicians and Trump can not say for themselves.

Bernie Sanders is not a communist or a socialist in the ways you want to fear monger about. Yeah, he advocates that Americans should have the right to good jobs and a living wage; Americans should have healthcare as a right and not let it be greatly profited upon, just like it is in every other developed country. Big deal.

We already have Socialism in this country: It's socialism for the rich and most powerful, they get the enormous bulk of handouts, loopholes and tax-breaks. Trump is in many ways the figurehead of 'Socialism for the rich': let's create even more tax loopholes, let's bailout Boeing, let's give billions in handouts to Big Farms that his own trade war screwed over; there's just too many instances to even count.

And, I very much do believe Bernie Sanders cares about real, everyday people. How do I know? I met him myself. He is a good man.
