Why Bernie Wins in One Word: Class

FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression | Burton W. Folsom, Jim Powell

Thats pretty much a fact.

 

[Unkotare]

Bernie is a Communist so he has no class to start with.

Bernie's a FDR Democrat who wasn't born rich:....."

That scumbag fdr WAS born rich.

That scumbag fdr WAS born rich.

Which might explain why he choose to save capitalism instead of bury it?
How FDR Saved Capitalism

He did no such thing.

[Unkotare]

The democrats are so desperate for class warfare and so frustrated that Americans aren’t interested in it.

That's why Russia, Cuba and Venezuela were so awesome?

How did capitalism affect Russia?

Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin: When the White House fixed a Russian election

"By the time Yeltsin announced in early 1996 that he would be running for a second term in the presidential election scheduled for that summer, he had become one of the most despised figures in Russia, having presided over the catastrophic consequences of the privatization of the Russian economy.

"The impact included a GDP decline of 50 percent, hyperinflation, rampant corruption, skyrocketing violent crime, the collapse of medical services, food and fuel shortages, nonpayment of wages and pensions, and a plunge in life expectancy."

How did capitalism affect Russia?

First, let's talk about 70+ years of Communist failure and why you think that would work here.
No booms and busts was awesome, right?

Why would you worry about a boom when your economy is busted, non-stop?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, GeorgiePoorgie is astounded that so many Americans are class conscience and aware; even tho' he'll never admit it!

And he thought that him and Bernie had the corner on class.......

How aware are you?

America's Egregious Economic Inequality in a Single Statistic

"In recent months, there has been a concerted effort among the left wing of the Democratic Party to address the (economic) imbalance.

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has floated the idea of a 70 percent marginal tax rate on income earned in excess of $10 million; Sen. Elizabeth Warren has proposed a wealth tax targeting the top .1 percent of American families; while Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced the For the 99.8% Act, which would dramatically expand the scope of the estate tax, among other ameliorative measures.

"These proposals have proved enormously popular, with a spate of recent surveys indicating widespread support for soaking the rich."

"These proposals have proved enormously popular,

Clueless idiots are dumb.
They support lots of stupid shit.
Like communism.​

Article in your link dated 4 years after 2008 when most of the economy was hollowed out.
Alot has changed in the last 8 years for the better, thanks to our fearless President Trump!

Except Trump has only been in office for three of those 8 years. Why isn't consumer debt or farm bankruptcies declining under your Fuhrer?

For the same reason the richest one percent continue to prosper just as they have for the last forty years.

Household debt hit another all-time high. Is it poised to level off?

Household debt is $1 trillion higher than in 2008?
Panic?
GDP is $7 trillion higher than in Q1 2008

What an absolute disastrous week for Bernie !
Holy shit, it could hardly be worse.

Class: The Little Word the Elites Want You to Forget

"Aristotle, Niccolò Machiavelli, Alexis de Tocqueville, Adam Smith and Karl Marx grounded their philosophies in the understanding that there is a natural antagonism between the rich and the rest of us.

"The interests of the rich are not our interests.

"The truths of the rich are not our truths.

"The lives of the rich are not our lives.

"Great wealth not only breeds contempt for those who do not have it but it empowers oligarchs to pay armies of lawyers, publicists, politicians, judges, academics and journalists to censure and control public debate and stifle dissent."

In the link, Chris Hedges explains why the rich are happy to talk about race, sexual identity, gender, patriotism, religion, immigration, abortion, and gun control.

Because those issues divide the public into multiple warring tribes of culture combatants, and, in the process, demonstrating why malignant parasites like Trump and Bloomberg can switch effortlessly from one party to the other.

"Once oligarchs seize power, Aristotle wrote, a society must either accept tyranny or choose revolution."

If he was right, what's your choice?

Ooppps, seems your thread just got dog poop on its shoe, lolololololol!

The likely hood of Bernie winning his party's nomination looks much differently this week than last thanks in no small part to party elites circling the wagons around Biden:

"In the early 1970s, consumer advocate Ralph Nader called Delaware 'the Company State' and sketched how its government, economy, politics, and even charities were dominated by the DuPont Co. and a Republican corporate-paternal tradition."

Joe Biden’s politics can be explained by Delaware’s shadowy past

"The Democratic Party elites will use any mechanism, no matter how nefarious and undemocratic, to prevent Sanders from obtaining the nomination.

"The New York Times interviewed 93 of the more than 700 superdelegates, appointed by the party and permitted to vote in the second round if no candidate receives the required 1,991 delegates to win in the first round.

"Most of those interviewed said they would seek to prevent Sanders from being the nominee if he did not have a majority of delegates in the first count, even if it required drafting someone who did not run in the primaries — Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio was mentioned — and even if it led to Sanders’ supporters abandoning the party in disgust."

I still have no idea how Biden managed to win in the way he did yesterday. According to one account, he won Warren's "home state" without spending a single dollar on television ads?

So Georgie. You plan on voting for Quid Pro Joe in Nov.?

High school, college or commie.

Turn left far enough and the brain apparently just shuts off completely.

Can you comprehend "wealth discrimination"?

99% of shareholders are parasites. They contribute nothing to what a corporation produces yet they are first in line when it comes time to be paid.

As a consequence they amass more and more wealth with each passing generation.

The Divine Right of Capital by Marjorie Kelly: A Summary

"At America’s founding, the right to vote was limited based on race, sex and wealth. As a society, we have recognized the harms of racism and sexism, but we have yet to truly address wealthism.

Wealth bias is typically rolled into our notions of class, but class can be embedded in our family of origin, dress, schools, mode of dress and other factors.

"All these factors matter when it comes to social status, but political and economic power, where Kelly makes the case that it is more precise to focus on wealth rather than class.

"She tells the story of Thomas Dorr and the Dorr Rebellion of 1842, which focused on extending the right to vote to all white males, regardless of whether they owned property.

"Dorr was imprisoned for life, and still remains a relatively unknown name in history even though universal suffrage was extended to all non-property owning white males across the United States as a result of his efforts."

The only people who hate money are those who never had any.

..... Don't agree? Learn Mandarin or Russian, Piggy.

Why?

Because Russia and China are where old capitalists go to die.

Capitalism made the USA the great nation that it is. Middle Class was created be use are the freest nation on earth that supports the idea of liberty and a free market.

American capitalism was born in chattel slavery and genocide. Currently it exists primarily in its imperial form as the millions of maimed, murdered, and displaced Muslims across the Middle East can testify. Anyone who calls that greatness is a sick, ignorant moron.

Trump appears to be looking directly at you Georgie while wearing that hat!

Americans have been inoculated against revolt so I guess it's tyranny.

I tend to agree if "New Democrats" like Biden win this nomination:

Class: The Little Word the Elites Want You to Forget

"The leaders of the Democratic Party — the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Tom Perez — would rather implode the party and the democratic state than surrender their positions of privilege.

"The Democratic Party is not a bulwark against despotism.

"It is the guarantor of despotism.

"It is a full partner in the class project.

"Its lies, deceit, betrayal of working men and women and empowering of corporate pillage made a demagogue like Trump possible.

"Any threat to the class project, even the tepid one that would be offered by Sanders as the party’s nominee, will see the Democratic elites unite with the Republicans to keep Trump in power."

Newsflash! Soviet Union lost the Cold War dumb shit.

How did capitalism change the Russian economy?

It cut GDP in half.

The poverty rate rose from 2% of the population to 50%.
