Where is it written that everything in life must be "fair"? all that is guaranteed is an equal opportunity to succeed. Yes, the road is much harder for some than others, Ask Ben Carson about coming from nothing to being very successful. Or you could ask Earth Kitt, conceived by rape, forced to live in the crawl space with the dogs, shunned by her family, but worked hard and achieved much success and fame.

Equal opportunity does not mean equal results.

yea...

Sure thing.....

91." Appointing conservative judges is the one objective that unites the Republican Party. It is one of the few things the Senate can do without the House.

And it is something that immediately impacts public policy because, during times of divided government, many political fights end up being resolved judicially.

Trump may not have the “best people” representing him or running his White House, but he’s picking them to be judges. Indeed, “based solely on objective legal credentials,” left-leaning Vox’s Ian Millhiser says, “the average Trump appointee has a far more impressive résumé than any past president’s nominees.”
Approximately 40 percent of Trump’s appellate nominees clerked for a Supreme Court justice, and about 80 percent clerked on a federal court of appeals. That compares to less than a quarter of Obama’s nominees who clerked on the Supreme Court, and less than half with a federal appellate clerkship."

95. “Trump Budget Cuts Size of Federal Government,
President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2021 would reduce the size and reach of the federal bureaucracy significantly by shifting government responsibilities back to constitutional priorities and empowering state and local governments.

Stop spamming the board with total b******* propaganda. Obama had better growth and job production his last three years than Trump has had. Wage growth is barely more than the new inflation we have... Upward mobility and inequality just keep getting worse with this garbage.

Income inequality has been growing at a much slower pace over the past ten years. Has anyone noticed?

Beyond stabilizing, according to some measures, inequality has actually fallen since the beginning of the Great Recession.

You wouldn’t know this from the rhetoric and policy agenda of the Democratic party. If anything, the Democrats seem more invested in fighting inequality heading into the 2020 presidential election.

the last thing a demofk wants is people equal.

Equality means tyranny. The more equal the people the more tyrannical the government.

every other modern country is socialist and has everything that Sanders wants us to have, like living wage paid parental leave health Care daycare cheap college and training, great infrastructure and vacations, and mainly they tax the rich and giant corporations their fair share. They don't need GOP help anywhere. Always unfair to the non-rich lying thieving assholes and silly dupes like you... Is Canada that scary dumbass?

Move to Canada.

50% of Americans now earn $18,000 or less a year dumbass and they try to live on it. Sanders wants $30,000 minimum wage. Then they can live on it. your GOP give away to the rich and screwjob for everyone else has turned us into a banana republic. Great job!

When wages are artificially inflated, who do you think absorbs the cost? Is it the companies or consumers? I'll let you think on that a bit.

For the billionth time, brainwashed functional moron, just like we have today but with health Care day Care living wage paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and mainly taxing the rich and giant corporations their fair share. Jesus you are a brainwashed idiot....just like every other rich country and we are the richest country of all and have none of that because of scumbag GOP and stupid idiotic brainwashed shift heads like you.... Like Canada real scary stupid.

Yeah, Europe is fantastic, right? They look for the US to protect them in time of war, and, like the other countries in the "rest of the civilized world" with socialized medicine, is hoping beyond hope that the coronavirus vaccine developed in 2 months from a company in Mass. gets approved.

so they go to Germany and intelligent countries that don't have a stupid GOP and idiotic dupes like you.

Dude, the smartest people in the world stay and come to the US because of opportunity. Everyone knows this, except you apparently. Those who are smart tend to do well and where else to do well than in the US. BTW, Germany's stagnate economy is going great. The EU is one big economic disaster waiting to happen. The UK recognized the ignorance and got out.

'What Makes Socialism So Attractive?'

IGNORANCE.

Most Bernie supporters are young, Liberal college indoctrinated, 'smart-phone-internet-educated' ('It's on the internet so it must be true') young people who are as dumb as the day is long, not having any knowledge of the past / Socialism / Communism / Communist governments like Cuba under Comrade Castro - who Bernie idolizes so much....youth who have no serious work ethic, who believe they are OWED everything without having to work for anything, who would gladly hand over their freedom and Constitutional Rights in exchange for 'free stuff' and the promise that the government will take care of their every need from cradle to grave.

Yes Europe is absolutely horrible horrible. Only on Fox!! So when do you figure the GOP will wreck the world economy again? Every time they get 8 years they have a corrupt cronyism deregulation crap oversight bubble and bust recession or depression. Great job! we're talking about the happiness of the people and how successful everyone is, not just the richest people, brainwashed functional moron. And we're also talkin about Canada Australia New Zealand and the UK. They all have a living wage healthcare daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and mainly tax the rich and giant corporations their fair share. They also don't take any crap while that is basically all you do dumbass. Your irrelevant arguments are also just plain wrong and stupid propaganda. Of course we have a huge advantage over Europe with all our natural resources. But they do just fine until the scumbag corrupt GOP wrecks the world economy again.Congratulations on being a perfect chump of the greedy idiot GOP rich, brainwashed functional moron...

Please do explain how the US is wrecking the world economy. Europe is bringing us down, not the othe way around. The ignorant folks who think everthing is "free" is the problem.

To paraphrase you, you are a brainwashed, nonfunctional moron.

"...there are a lot of people witnessing the groundswell of support for the angry old communist stereotype (Sanders) and wondering how his young supporters can not know that he's an angry old communist stereotype, that he's selling them a bill of goods that has proven disastrous for every nation that has implemented it, and that enacting even one of his major platform policies would send this country into an economic tailspin.

Well … the short answer is that they don't know these things because they've never been made clear to them.


In the '60s and '70s, nearly all secular Jews supported Israel, and one didn't have to go very far to find a Jew (or the relative of one) who had escaped from Russia or Eastern Europe or survived the camps in Germany, and who could set the record straight if one had doubts. We still had real journalists, so the pathetic economic floundering and horrible civil-rights records of communist regimes were laid bare on TV news shows with regularity and relish. And of course the Vietnam War was ostensibly being fought in order to keep communists from gaining a free hand in Asia.

Contrast this with what millennials and the generations following them have had to work with.

....influences have been very effective in implementing revisionist history; consequently, the atrocities of the Soviet Union, China, Cuba and even Nazi Germany have been completely re-framed. The educational system has also been wildly successful in eliminating critical thinking from the tools young people have to use in processing pretty much everything."
It's a wonder more youth aren't supporting Sanders - WND

The problem as the "socialists" see it is income inequality.
Why should Bloomberg have $62b and they are in debt and are working for slave wages?
Why should the US devolve toward a few hundred "oligarch billionaires" and the rest of us "peons"?
We must band together to set things right, we must tax the rich and distribute the income more fairly.
IMHO the Republicans can't keep winning elections, so what happens when the democrats eventually win?

All that sounds strangely familiar... hmmm... might it have been HITLER and the NAZIS that believed that way?

I think so, and Moa, and Stalin, etc, all of which were the world's BIGGEST KILLERS, responsible for the deaths of MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people.

The slaughter as a by-product of every totalitarian political doctrine, is of no concern to the Left.


None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).

They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.

They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
