Why Bernie Wins in One Word: Class

[bluzman61]

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?

The ONLY Dem candidate that has ANY class is Tulsi Gabbard. You're welcome.

Apparently the corporations did because they started hiring like wildfire the day after the cuts.

Employment is great, but millions of working families are still in perpetual debt, living paycheck to paycheck, with no vacations and expensive healthcare.

Student loan debt is $1.5 TRILLION.....the biggest cause of bancruptcy is medical bills.

I can go on.

All of those were caused, to one extent or another, by the immense, bloated, and meddlesome gubmint that both you and comrade Sanders want to put on steroids.

Rube.

Speaking of cheaters how does a poor marxist mayor turned senator become rich in washington?

All Jews are rich aren't they ?
Just kidding.

Bernie is rich

so if he hates the rich does he hate himself too?

He hates cheaters who hide their capital gains in the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg to avoid paying taxes, to the tune of trillions.

So did Paul Wellstone.

And? You see anybody defending Wellstone?

Ending wars and closing 900 overseas military bases we never needed.

The elephant in the room.

I dont know what you do for the deadbeats and others who make stupid choices in their lives

but since NAFTA and unrestricted free trade with china the working man in America has struggled to maintain a middle class income

bring manufacturing jobs back to America and deport 80% of the illegal aliens living here and things will get better for American citizens

You haven't ever been really quick on the uptake, have ya?

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

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

Nothing to Brag about.... FDR was a socialist who got the US involved in WW2 against the will of the people by setting up Pearl Harbor for a Japanese attack he had been forewarned about

Yes, FDR was a Socialist. That he got us involved in WW-II is ludicrous.

Obama getting the government into the student loan business may have a downside?

The only class that Bernie wants are the 'have's'. And he wants a seat at THAT table so he can drive the middle class into the 'have-not's'.
Classic Communism, muppets!

Bernie recognizes the biggest threat to US Democracy; what's your problem?

America's Egregious Economic Inequality in a Single Statistic

"As egregious as America’s economic inequality may appear, the reality is somehow even worse.

"Those are the findings of the University of California, Berkeley’s Gabriel Zucman, whose latest research reveals that the .00025 percent now own more than the bottom 60 percent.

"To put that statistic in perspective, 400 individuals control more wealth than 150 million combined."

Trump will have lot's of defense contractor funding.

By writing a book .. ie, he didn't rip people off via Wall St. How come you uber capitalists don't seem to have problems with rich people making money from nothing other than moving money around while fucking you up the arse? Money is your god. And I don't mind people making money if they add to the economy and make something worthwhile. Henry Ford, Bill Gates, even the Mars and Walton families. But these twats on Wall St? They're your heroes? Fuck off.

And I would hardly call $2.5 million super rich. Trump spends that much a month on hair pieces and McDonalds...

Class: The Little Word the Elites Want You to Forget

"The United States stood on the cusp of revolution — a fact President Franklin Roosevelt acknowledged in his private correspondence — amid the breakdown of capitalism in the 1930s.

"Roosevelt responded by aggressively curbing the power of the oligarchs.

"The federal government dealt with massive unemployment by creating 12 million jobs through the Works Progress Administration (WPA), making the government the largest employer in the country.

"It legalized unions, many of which had been outlawed, and through the National Labor Relations Act empowered organizing. It approved banking regulations..."

""The federal government dealt with massive unemployment by creating 12 million jobs through the Works Progress Administration (WPA), making the government the largest employer in the country."

Uhhhh, where did that money come from?

Colleges running up prices because students can get loans for practically any amount they want may have a downside?

We have engaged in bloody and costly wars in the middle east since 911

bush reacted wrong to the muslim threat and so did obama

but we need a strong military and the navy is an important part of our defense posture

You've obviously never read Adam Smith or De Tocquville.
