Obama = lobbyists and corporate ties

Sanders = his supporters


This is real, look at the reaction from the DNC and media. Sanders is not their guy!

Trump is the 1% HRC is the 1% sounds corporate to me!

No HRC was to be Obama 2,0 more wars more corporate power to make profits added into the ACA, TPP and Monsanto will appointed to head Dept. of Agriculture.

Not a realistic scenario, Sanders is what he is; check his brother Larry Sanders UK Green Party!

No Bernie doesn't represent this country what he represents is the Democratic Party and the unions.

the Democratic Party isn't worried about sanders because they want a socialist utopia not a strong individual.

A strong community is built out of the strength of the individual and without purchasing power we don't have that.

I presume you are using the "third party plural possessive" there ------

Of course, I should have prefaced that.

...(and btw I saw an article today about why his face is so smackable....from a neuroscientist.....).

Because it is pumpkin-like and misshapen?

Because it reeks of inauthenticity, and smarminess.

There are several articles posted online.
just copy/paste this into your search engine:

Oh, I knew that already. I thought there was something about the shape that kind of makes you want to smoosh it, like Sloth's head from the Goonies.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Well, that too - but we're drifting off topic.

The BERN is what it is. And that fire ain't gonna be snuffed out, whether he gets the nomination or not.

Speaking of which, shouldn't you be phone banking or donating your rent for the cause?

Ewww...watching you two talking about Trump's face is like watching bad porn.

Actually it was Cruz's face.

Buzzy knows I call him Smack Face since every time I see his gob I want to give him a fresh one with the back of my hand.

Unions check

When I read this essay I thought of you, it took some digging through my history to find. I hope you will take the time to read through this, it's overly long but well thought out :

Bernie Sanders, Automation, and the Fate of the US

If there's one economic argument Sanders likes to make, it's that income inequality in the US is unfair and out of control. Secretary Hillary Clinton and some of her supporters have complained that he's been a one-issue candidate on that very issue. However, I would argue that, if anything, Sanders doesn't emphasize the issue enough! The reason? Income inequality is bad now, but it's likely to get much, much worse in the very near future due to the effects of automation. We need immediate, drastic action, exactly in line with the policies Sanders proposes, and the moderate policies Clinton proposes will do very little to help with the severe economic crisis to come.

This may sound like over-the-top hyperbole, but I truly believe we are coming to a fork in the road, and one path points towards utopia and the other points towards dystopia. There is a coming automation revolution that will lead to a drastic reduction in the amount of paid employment in the US and in fact the whole world. I will prove it below with what I believe is incontrovertible evidence.

If there is a drastic reduction in income inequality at the same time automation drastically changes the economy, then the benefits of new technologies will mean that the vast majority of people will be able to enjoy very high standards of living while working much less than ever before. It really could be a utopian, golden age unprecedented in human history. But if present trends continue, nearly all the benefits will go to the top one percent or less, and most everyone else will have a nightmarish, hopeless future.

Undaunted

The revolution is still happening. 20,000 to 30,000 people last night in Seattle for Bernie. They want us to believe we're beaten but we know better. 20,000 to 30,000 people. There is definitely something extraordinary happening here.

It was actually WAY MORE than 20-30,000.......see OP.

That was fun and informative; but some folks think spending is for wars and prisons.

a reply to: AlaskanDad

And those folks are wrong.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

I could not agree more!

In my opinion, Hillary's AIPAC speech was scary and sounded like more war in the middle east was being promised. I am sorry but this does not sound liberal or progressive, rather it smacks of a neo conservative.

He's a democrat as of 2015: Link

As an Unaffiliated voter, I don't consider him an independent just because he used to be. Much like I didn't consider Arlen Specter to be a republican once he became a democrat.

I consider Bernie to be laying down with the dogs at the DNC. I consider Trump to be laying down with the dogs at the RNC.

Media image is meaningless to me. They are what they are. You cannot seriously expect me to consider Bernie or Trump to be somehow 'independent' of the parties they represent and belong to?

No way.

The old saying is"use the best tool in the box, to get the job done," it's time to end corporate political corruption and for the American people to join the modern world.

It hurts to change my affiliation to Democrat, but I do not see Sanders as a corporate democrat.

Did many Trump supporters show up to yell at them for their opinion?

the Sanders supporters didn't cry like little babies because someone expressed their opinion.

Actually that's exactly what they're doing, which is the problem

The same guy who said,

White people don't know what it's like to be poor - Bernie Sanders

or
