  1. If you're on record saying you aren't voting for the Democratic nominee if it's Bernie then why should I entertain any of your criticisms? You're choosing an authoritarian extreme racist that implemented concentration camps over someone who's scaring you because the economy will collapse instantly!!
  2. However much it fucking takes, some of us understand the landscape of people under 40 in this country and have seen what grotesque inequality has created.
  3. I've got news for you, this is already happening and will happen if we get any Democratic president that tries to implement even a modest tax increase to help offset the enormous amount of inequality that keeps growing in this country. It is unsustainable and at some point something will give either through political action or something more violent. Like B_T pointed out that over half the people in this country basically don't have any savings for retirement and we know that Social Security may not be fully solvent later when massive amounts of Boomers start to retire.
  4. That's totally fair, I respect that a lot honestly because you seem actually grounded in reality versus so many other posters on here who have completely convinced themselves in mid February that Trump will 100% be re-elected.
  5. Cuomo's face is AMAZING, he wants no part of it haha.
  6. I'm really confused about where your ideology lies. You seem to be supporting Sanders but then I guess you don't really like many of his policy proposals? As someone who has a Roth IRA as my retirement vehicle, if I have to take less in retirement to actually improve the overall economy by wiping out student debt then that's fine. https://www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782070151/forgiving-student-debt-would-boost-economy
  7. I could maybe entertain arguments from Aqua Buddha Even though he's on record saying he won't vote for Bernie, but when OnBoard and EuroHorn are only in here because Bernie's the front runner, yeah we can rightfully make fun of them.
  8. 2008 was the first time Nevada moved to a caucus format after running regular primaries before.
  9. I mean of course we'll get the "IT WILL RUIN THE ECONOMY AND YOU WILL DIE" attack ads, but just trying to get this message to so many people who are so much more worse off than me to think about what other countries, who are poorer than the US, have done can get them to question what the hell is going on.
  10. Just put this on repeat until November,
  11. holy shit +rep
  12. I posted this earlier in the thread my dude,
  13. That is the only one I'm maybe a little worried about because it's just going to be used in the most disingenuous way and Bernie will have to likely defend it more aggressively, I don't think nearly enough people will care about something he said about Cuba in the 80s.
  14. This is a good thread.
  15. Fucking got 'em, good lord dude is going to have to log-off forever now.
  16. No one is doing that, we're saying that he implemented policies that were popular. I choose to live in a world where people can understand an ounce of nuance especially when the quote was literally given with qualifier "we condemn the authoritarian nature of the communist/Castro regime." This is just candy for people who can't understand why some of us don't have this Cold-War reflex that they grew up with.
  17. Reminder that 1). no one outside a few people and neo-cons gives a shit about any of this, and 2). I believe you already said you are going to leave your presidential choice blank because you just can't bring yourself to support Bernie so I do not give one single fuck about your criticism. Also 3). Obama had the same damn kind of thing to say, Bernie literally condemned the authoritarian nature in the same sentence as saying that Castro was able to garner support because he improved the lives of many people. This is all disingenuous shit and I'm not here advocating for a Cuban-Marxist style that we need to adopt as a country, I'm just tired of people making remarks that are not grounded in any reality in the year 2020.
  18. It's pathetic how many of us Americans have literally no understanding of world history. For reference,
  19. Again, we have a data-point to suggest that this didn't help her last time. I'm sure Bernie will get much more focus tomorrow, we'll see if it helps her but I'm very skeptical.
  20. Let's remind everyone last time she went at Bernie it only hurt her in the polling. Are you suggesting this is a winning strategy?
  21. She smartly didn't take the bait to trash Bernie in the last debate and instead decided to annihilate Bloomberg. I'm not sure if Steyer is on the debate stage tomorrow but if she wants to cut into support she could go after him or Biden. Steyer has dropped a TON of money running advertising in SC which has given him some big support.
  22. I'm here for the @Huckleberry schooling. You love to see it.
  23. I assume he is being sarcastic.
