It appears that the moderates are dropping out trying to consolidate votes under Biden to combine their power to stop Sanders. Let's be very honest here, this might mean Biden is able to win a contested convention, but Sanders' supporters who see the Democratic establishment cares more about what politicians want than the people do, will never support or vote for Biden against Trump. When you have such a large percentage of voters who support Sanders sees that the Democratic party will do whatever it takes to keep him from winning, there is no way Biden will be able to beat Trump... so despite the rhetoric being perpetuated by the media, and most specifically MSNBC, Sanders is really the only person who has a shot at beating Trump. It's much easier for Sanders to take his 35% base and add 15% other voters to win, than to see Biden try to get enough of Sanders' 35% base to devote their votes to him.
We know that a person with a 30%-35% base along with enough voters that will vote whomever their party puts in the race, can win... it is how Trump was elected.
Pretty much of all of America will be turning against him. Which part of "LAND OF THE FREE" does he not understand? He can take his snakes oil to where there are buyers.
The democratic party... a other not only American but anti-democratic construct... now eaten by all the people they indoctrinated to socialism.
Educated voters know that Presidents will never bring everything they campaign on to fruition... because Congress are the ones who write and pass the laws. With that said, the majority of the country is heavily invested in getting as many people as possible covered with health insurance and that preexisting conditions continue to be covered. The majority of voters believe the top 1% along with the largest companies in the U.S. be taxed more and pay their employees more... there is NO REASON why a person that works for a company like Amazon is forced to also get social welfare benefits just to be able to get by. So not only are large companies not contributing to the government, they are forcing the government to make up for things they should already provide. The majority of Americans also believe that more should be invested in Pre-K, better schools, and more opportunities for secondary education.
We already live in a socialist society, the only difference is the one we live in now is socialism for the rich.
Are you trying to win an election? No need to talk like a politician here, you can say something that actually means something rather than this bullshit.
No bullshit at all. The only politics on this forum is the ones from Trump supporters who would rather complain about a family getting $200 in food stamps, rather than being angry that a company like Amazon in 2018...:
"In 2018, Amazon paid $0 in U.S. federal income tax on more than $11 billion in profits before taxes. It also received a $129 million tax rebate from the federal government."
So not only did Amazon NOT pay any federal taxes... the government GAVE them $129 million, all while many of their employees also lived on federal social welfare programs like food stamps. I know why you pick on poor people instead of large corporations... it's easier to do.
"Big companies have long relied on strategies to reduce their tax bills. But the new tax law is making it even easier, with a new analysis finding that 60 profitable Fortune 500 companies paid no taxes on a total of $79 billion of profits earned in 2018.
The companies, which include tech giants such as Amazon and Netflix, should have paid a collective $16.4 billion in federal income taxes based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's 21 percent corporate tax rate, according to the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Instead, these corporations received a net tax rebate of $4.3 billion. The analysis is based on the corporations' annual financial reports, which were filed earlier this year to report their 2018 results."
