How Bernie Sanders would transform the nation

that's not how citation works. the burden of proof is not on me in the least.

you quoted some statistics, linked to an article about them, but did not provide a link to the study itself, its methodology, who conducted it, and so on and so forth.

what are you trying to hide about this "study"?



if you are trying to imply that liberals like myself covet other people's money, you are wrong.

not only is the biblical, christian influence apparent in your flimsy and pathetic attempt of a jab, but look at who you are talking to. a liberal with a million in the bank. i don't even covet my own money.

i just want to end the massive and disastrous amount of income inequality we are facing at this moment.

i work my ass off in construction for money i don't even need, just because i enjoy the work. i make more from tending to plants (which look way better than yours) in my garage and basement than i do from working high end construction jobs. i am lucky that i have many skill sets.

some people aren't so lucky or fortunate as i was. but they want to work and get by on their honest check, and that's just not possible right now, although it has been very possible in the not so recent past.

people like you not only fight against this person, in a lot of cases you ARE this person. not so bright, not so skilled, not even getting by as well as i am, yet advocating against your own best interests so that people like myself can do even better.

you definitely covet money, sistah. it is as clear as your christian dogma and deeply held racism is.
Did I send a nickel with that last post? Meltdown much?
Now you are confusing oranges and once again practicing character assassination. You are a cancer here.

you really should advocate for liberal policies that help out unskilled losers like you, rather than continuing retarded republican insanity that only helps winners like me leave losers like you in the dust.

i'll await your citation tough, sistah.

Kind of like how you mocked me over a simple typo? You can dish it out but you really can't take it, can you. Haha, Red, go look up the word. Pogroms are against ethnic groups, not ideological ones. Bye Felicia. We're done here it's not up for discussion; you stupidly used a word, face it.

Somewhere on another thread I said that our current political situation shares a lot in common with that of an airplane pilot with vertigo, spiraling ever tighter in an attempt to avert the upcoming catastrophe, when just straightening out would do the trick.

Returning to the original subject of this thread for a moment, I think Bernie Sanders is at least looking like an alternative to the same right wing death spiral we've been turning with greater and greater ferocity since Reagan was elected.

We don't need to wait to glimpse the looming disaster in this country, it's already upon us; mass incarceration, militarized police, fascist governance, monied elite beyond justice, and greed beyond any excuse of earning it without corruption. A true bonfire of the vanities.

For all the screaming and hooting from the Right, I just don't see more and worse of the same being a solution.

Thank you Obama.

Your next to last paragraph is huge and the biggest disconnect of all..been trying to say same all along..thank you for the right words I could never seem to find.

Now..why is it this way? The white connection to bible? Whites aren't the only ones who follow it..I just cannot fathom the real reason other than racism, for whites will live in poverty yet vote republican..anyone else have thoughts on this?

The white trash, snap selling, bible thumping, military volunteering, hard drugging side of my family hates minorities and anything liberal are the laziest ass clowns I know of. They refuse to see they are part of the issue, yet they love the very same social safety net they vote against.

Entitlement because they are white, therefore never the problem? It's just everyone else that is?

Whites are the biggest recipients of our nations social safety net by far.

Like illegal aliens buying amnesty?
Does it matter? It affects no one, because if they are wealthy enough to buy it surely they won't be a drain on our resources.

When the wealthy buy laws to decrease their tax bill that hurts our economy as a whole.

So not the same.

Uncle Puke doesn't even have my connection to the Bible correct...so polishing his knob over it is a fools errand and your contrived conclusions are inane.

Concerning your quandary about how a poor person could possibly vote Republican. Pride in taking no handouts and knowing that Democrat policies have been keeping them where they are. In other words, the are enlightened not entitled.

They are educated too...It just cost too much to truck brand new 747's to China.:wall:

Without education....

China wins again.
As long as we realize education can include how to weld or wire a house too we should be fine. It's the thought that only learning who said what when qualifies as education that doesn't help. We are marginalizing trade schools and that's a big mistake. Learn how to weld in 6 months to make 50k a year or spend 6 years getting your masters in some liberal arts program to make 30k a year. People look down on that welder though as uneducated.

If one has had the good fortune of spending any time in a Swiss built (anything), they will see the value of a 6 yr. apprenticeship.

We have been lowering our standards almost as long as we have been trading with China.

I give credit where credit is due no matter the posts author.

Poor whites take handouts all the time they are the biggest population that does..did you miss this point?

I certainly get your point, but just to throw in there, MOST craftsman trades are a minimum of 4yr apprenticeships. A lot of people never actually make it to journeyman, they end being laborers.

Aren't most of those apprenticeships paid positions? You can't say that about an Art Appreciation major. Journeyman is also a union designation that doesn't have the same weight in non-union states. Of course the pay is going to be much higher where it does matter.

I get your point too though, it's not just 6 months to prosperity.

Journeyman is universal. Yes, it is paid.

lol, that is the biggest pile of garbage i have seen all day, and we replaced 8 windows today.

you are a bible thumper and stupidity keeps you voting against your best interests, not enlightenment.

but hey, thanks for keeping my wife's capital gains tax rate low. she just had to sell a whole bunch of stock. more money for us! less for you, unskilled peon.

Have you read Mein Kampf?

Intermixed in your Uncle Puke poetry is embedded character assignation. I see him do it to many. He's the biggest prick on this site. He is morally reprehensible, He lies about who I am in every thread we happen to end up in. But hey, if you want to be one of his flying monkeys, feel free.

You asked why might someone of meager means vote Republican. I told you. I said nothing about ethnicity. If that is what you want to deflect it to, maybe start another thread.
character assignation?

LOL!

i do not "assign" you your character, nor do i assassinate it. you dumb fucks tie yourselves to people like uncle ben, or other racist losers. and i merely point it out.

excuse me for condemning lowlife hateful racists like you on the internet. or don't.

i really don't give a shit what you think of me pointing out the facts of your shitty character.
