Why Bernie Wins in One Word: Class

[georgephillip]

President Bernie will audit the Pentagon so that it doesnt spend more on weapons of war than the next 10 countries combined.

thats why the military industrial complex is against him, my friends!

Bernie has received more contributions from US military personnel than any other candidate. The people who have to fight endless wars, want to END ENDLESS WARS! : SandersForPresident

Trump got more votes in California than Biden and Bernie combined!

 

[Pogo]

Trump got more votes in California than Biden and Bernie combined!

Once again ---- BULLSHIT.

Oh and scrolling up it looks like you've been busted at least twice in a row. Not counting the fake JFK quote.

Is this literally all you do all day? Make shit up?

 

[georgephillip]

Good GAWD.... CLASS? You mean the Castro praising, balloon hair combing, right twig arm waving, protruding lower lip with drool, red faced, angry, America hating, OLD COMMIE FREAK bernie?

Did you bother to read the first sentence of my OP?

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."

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

lol

Obviously you have no idea what a ‘communist’ is.

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?

Such are the perils of political prognostication.

Riiiiiiight, 3 homes and a multi millionaire. Sounds like a real man of the People

$2.5 million net worth.
How does that compare to Trump?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Don't walk under any bridges or next to tall buildings the next few days, Bernie bros are going to be jumping.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Why Bernie is losing in three words: can’t beat Trump.

 

[Desperado]

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

lol

Obviously you have no idea what a ‘communist’ is.

Someone who spends his honeymoon at a nudist colony in the Soviet Union would be a good start.

 

[georgephillip]

Don't be dumb, Sanders aches to set up his own oligarchy, his own upper class that will oppress the people. The Bernie Bros will serve Sanders as his apparatchiks just like Yagoda served Stalin: Genrikh Yagoda - Wikipedia

What has Bernie ever done or said to make you think he's planning a Soviet-style America? Bernie recognizes the rich in this country have grown richer over the past five decades at the expense of a majority of their countrymen and women. Bernie will attempt to change that narrative while Biden played a big part in writing it.

Joe Biden Is the Forrest Gump of the Democratic Party’s Rightward Turn

"From crime to privatization to Wall Street, the story of Joe Biden’s career has been the story of the Democratic Party’s forty-year-long right turn. Every step of the way, he was there urging the party to push the rightward shift even further."

Pick your favorite corporation.
Find out how much they paid their employees last year.

How much profit were employees paid.
How much input into working conditions did employees have?
Why do parasites who contribute nothing to producing profits warrant receiving a bigger share of profits than those who create the surplus?

LMAO -- I now see why you only cut and paste. Tulsi would never associate herself with Communist Sanders.

You should ask how that compares to YOU.

Moron.

 

[georgephillip]

lol Secretary of State of what? Bernie won't come anywhere near a win on the first ballot and in a brokered convention, it will be a choice between Biden holding on to Obama's tattered shirt tales or Bloomberg waving his billions around.

With three months of primaries left on the 2020 calendar, it's too early to anoint Corporate Joe.

He has proven time and time again over the past five decades he will put his foot in his mouth at the worst possible time, and he also has his share of scandals waiting to be reexamined:

Joe Biden Is the Forrest Gump of the Democratic Party’s Rightward Turn

"Biden emerged from his 1990 reelection slightly bruised by a scandal that showed yet again the peril of his and the rest of the party’s increasing reliance on big-money donors.

"During his earlier presidential run, Biden had forged a friendship with David L. Paul, a Florida-based savings-and-loan executive and major Democratic fundraiser known to lend his private jet to politicians.

"Paul, his family, and his company’s foundation had given generously to Biden, a fact seized on by his Republican opponent in the wake of the ongoing savings-and-loan crisis and after CenTrust, the bank Paul founded, which regulators charged he had used as 'his own piggy bank,' collapsed, costing taxpayers more than $1 billion."

 

[georgephillip]

sure he’s not a billionaire but he has far more than the shoeless snowflakes who expect him to pay off their college loans

Since Bernie wasn't burdened by thousands of dollars in student debt, he found it much easier to acquire $2.5 million over a fifty years of working.

 

[georgephillip]

Bernie posits the election of "us" against "the rich." That's never won an election before. And I don't think it will now. It's McGovern II.

Is it FDR vs Hoover?

1932 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

"The election took place against the backdrop of the Great Depression.

"Incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover was defeated in a landslide by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Governor of New York.

"The election marked the effective end of the Fourth Party System, which had been dominated by Republicans."

I don't think it's likely the US economy will be in a 1933 (or 2008) dilemma next November, but Trump has changed the political dynamic in ways similar to how the Great Depression changed the US economy 87 years ago.

FDR was driven to his New Deal by grassroots pressure that doesn't exist today, so even if Bernie wins the nomination and general election, he won't have the same leverage FDR had UNLESS Trump makes some fatal political mistake between now and then.

Nothing is "scarce" in the US and nodody owes manyone anything that can't pay for.

Capitalists have no right to profit from scarce resources.
