SJ W IS WRONG ON EVERYTHING HE SAYS. HERE'S THE EXHAUSTIVE LIST Covering your eyes with your fingers weirdly with angst is not an argument. Years of conditioning have had no effect of my view of socialism but have only done one thing— to make me despise your effeminate body movements. Your a caricature. we can drop bombs on people who want to kill us. That will make America great again. America is responsible for why Mexico is such a #ty country? Black men are more likely to die from their furniture than to be wrongfully killed by a cop. We conservatives have rational arguments about socialism, not conditioning. war is needed when other countries want to kill us there are black slaves TODAY in Africa. Not a peep about them from any leftist ever. Most welfare recipients are white. but— White outnumber blacks by a ratio of 7 to 1. Do leftists do math? Corporations are not forced to pay taxes? So therefore they're leaving for China? Does this make sense to anybody? You have a problem with make America great and imply that this is nazi tactics. What about Hope and change? unthinking chanting of the crowd yelling CHANGE and following Obama around. And you say that the country is worse off now since 1980. Is Obama responsible at all since he's been in office for the past seven years? Yes rich people tend to amass large amounts of wealth compared to dumb poor people who r sitting at home expecting to be supported with handouts. And those handouts quickly are depleted so they don't amass that wealth either. Being in the top 400 of moneymakers in this country should be cheered. You have to be a producer to achieve that. But the leftist will never understand this concept Rich people are becoming rich off of us presumably by selling goods which we are buying. How are you buying these goods if we are not becoming better off too. I'm not talking about the parasites as discussed earlier they will never amass wealth. they are nothing. # them. Covering your eyes with your fingers weirdly with angst is not an argument. Trumps episodes of being mean to people are always situations in which he is fighting back after he's attack first. What about Hillary calling the FBI agents who were supposed to protect her from bullets ---> pigs. what did they do deserve to that. Is that the kind you're talking about? Who is calling each other racists, fascists and sexist? can the typical LEFTIST define these? I can. Incidentally we conservatives call u LEFTIST( a word with no negative connotations) U LEFTISTS call us racist, fascist, and sexist(Negative words)- again, words I can define. do u LEFTISTS realize how stupid this guy is?

Heh, this guy, pretending he has a solution, haha.
There is no solution, unless you wanna burn it all to the ground.
Keep blaming the other side, there are no heroes here.

It is hard not to hold Sanders up as a savior given how far up the creek we are.
He has literally made history by raising money the way that he has. He has maintained the same message throughout his entire career. Every step TPTB have taken through their puppets in congress/senate/presidencies has been met by Sanders taking the stance that had the people of this country's interest first. There are videos of this happening. Here is compilation of what I mean.
I have never believed in the system. The more I have researched about the corrupt network operating from the shadows the more obvious it has become. Now we are seeing this clearly on both sides of the political spectrum. The establishment has never really given you a chance, I have never voted before in my life and to those that have I would take a second to reflect on the psychological manipulation that has been employed throughout the past presidential elections.
I understand your cynicism, if we get 4 more years of Clinton, we will pay for it dearly. I am optimistic though and it is because of Bernie Sanders, I have supported very few politicians as I have researched them and Ron Paul and Bernie are the two at the top. We legitimately have a chance for Bernie to stop the Clinton machine.
He has rallied a nation behind him and yes Trump has done the same on the other side, but as was stated in the video "he does not need to be bought out by lobbyists to have the same interests as our real enemies". It is a battle of the people against the elite and I find it hard to believe a member of the elite will stay on our side once given the power to do the opposite.
Sanders argued that the Federal Reserve suffers from a lack of transparency. “In 2010, I inserted an amendment in Dodd-Frank to audit the emergency lending by the Fed during the financial crisis. We need to go further and require the Government Accountability Office to conduct a full and independent audit of the Fed each and every year,” he said.
Financial reforms must not stop with the central bank. We must reinstate Glass-Steagall and break up the too-big-to-fail financial institutions that threaten our economy. But we need to start with fundamental change. The sad reality is that the Federal Reserve doesn’t regulate Wall Street; Wall Street regulates the Fed. It’s time to make banking work for the productive economy and for all Americans, not just a handful of wealthy speculators. And it begins by making the Federal Reserve a more democratic institution, one that is responsive to the needs of ordinary Americans rather than the billionaires on Wall Street.

I am looking forward to President "None of the Above". A choice between the current candidates of: Bad, Worse, Apocalyptic or Lunatic is no real choice at all.

LOL
I like it Leonidas!
Question for you as you look back at the past presidencies, have you ever really had a choice?

It is not as simple as you are trying to make it out to be.
Bernie Sanders calls for full independent audit of federal reserve.

The article include Ron Paul's comments on what happened and it is surprising that Sanders went the way he did. Yet the fed and its monopoly of every industry through its multinational corporate structure was literally holding this country hostage. It seems he made the compromise he did out of necessity, yet my view could be skewed from being conned by so much socialist utopia propaganda!
