Amen, and they are already well represented here!
Surely, Bernieâs not talking about free Medicare for all but Medicare for all. I donât think Medicare for all means itâs free for all. Some would have to pay a premium. That would be more reasonable if people payed into it.
I found that Sanders released a five-page paper that included a list of financing options, one being a new tax on âextreme wealth.â Let me look more.
One option is a 7.5 income based premium payed by employers

Do Bernie supporters actually know what will happen if they elect him? I mean other than platitudes about free stuff, and a Green âdealâ ? Can they say that yes, I know Bernie will pass a 97 trillion dollar green program, which by the way will bankrupt the country; yes, I know he will stop fracking, which by the way will ruin the American energy boom; yes, I know he is enamored of Russia and centralized government, which by the way will incur the dismantling of America as we know it. And we could go on.
Iâm at a loss to know how he can get the votes IF IF IF those voting really do understand him.
And listening to Amy during this fiasco in Iowa - âwe simply cannot afford another 4 years of Trumpâ
What/ Do you mean 4 years of prosperity, of massive de-regulations that is spurring the economy and jobs, 4 years of steadily decreasing unemployment, a big bump for the middle class, more respect abroad, a stronger military - we cannot afford 4 more years of everything BETTER?
Dave,
Over the past 40 years the hierarchy has remained and the inequality grown but all have gotten wealthier. Rich, poor and middle class. This was way before Trump got in there. The poor have not gotten poorer under Capitalism over the past 40 years but wealthier. Likewise for the middle class and wealthy.
On the extreme right you have the Social Darwinists who hate the weak, sick, poor, disabled. On the extreme left you have the socialists who hate the strong, powerful, rich. Both say the other side are sinners while they themselves are without stain.
" All who refuse to convert to progressivism are worthy of severe punishment. We see their mindset played out across America: seniors, women, and youths being assaulted, beaten for wearing âMAGAâ hats. Remember the Facebook Live post of four black progressives who kidnapped and tortured a mentally disabled white man? The four zealots tie up the man, punishing him while yelling, âFâ Trumpâ and Fâ white people!"
It is truly remarkable that Trump has survived every Democrat and fake news media evil tactic to destroy him and his presidency. I call it âThe Trump Phenomenon.â No other Republican would have survived. Clearly, Godâs hand of protection is on this man, whom He has prepared for such a time as this.
Trump repeatedly emerging victorious has frustrated Democrats and fake news media to the point of total insanity. In their sick, hate-filled minds, nothing in the world matters other than destroying Trump and punishing his supporters.
Thankfully, more and more Americans are beginning to realize the evil within seeking to destroy our exceptional great nation. At Trumpâs rally in New Jersey, over 25% were Democrats and over 10% did not vote in 2016. His approval among black Americans has skyrocketed to 34%.
Our only hope is to continue fighting back in one united voice, boldly refusing to be silenced and intimidated. Democrats and their fake news media minions cannot bully millions of patriotic Americans. " - Lloyd Marcus
And as for the âmoderateâ Pete Buttigieg, spare me.
In your sick hate filled mind you want to destroy the weak, vulnerable, sick, disabled, poor suffering. Glad youâre not Trump. Trump has proven himself to show compassion on the suffering sick by giving 3.9 billion a year for the mentally ill and homeless. But being right is more important to you. The protestantâs Calvinist ethic isnât Christianity.
Social Darwinism is any of various theories of society which emerged in the United Kingdom, North America, and Western Europe in the 1870s, claiming to apply biological concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest to sociology and politics. Social Darwinists argue that the strong should see their wealth and power increase while the weak should see their wealth and power decrease. Different social-Darwinist groups have differing views about which groups of people are considered to be the strong and which groups of people are considered to be the weak, and they also hold different opinions about the precise mechanisms that should be used to reward strength and punish weakness. Many such views stress competition between individuals in laissez-faire capitalism, while others were used in support of authoritarianism, eugenics, racism, imperialism, fascism, Nazism, and struggle between national or racial groups.
Social Darwinism is the conflict between social groups which results in the most socially capable or fit group coming out on top as the winner, usually in terms of influence and wealth. According to social Darwinism, rich people would succeed and poor people would fail.
Once again we see the fear mongering and lies of the Social Darwinist Dave B. Hereâs Bernieâs green new deal. Itâs not 97 trillion
Several 2020 Democrats have called for investment in the trillions of dollars, but in the fine print, these plans include public and private funding. Sandersâs plan is notably different because it calls for more money than any of the other candidates â $16.3 trillion in total â and the entire investment budget would come from federal dollars.
Even the conservative Christian astrophysicist, Hugh Ross, said climate change is real.
Well, now I know why the Kansas City Chiefs - won the Super Bowl . Another example of REAL news. 
HmmmâŚgood post on the unqualified Pres thread? I would think that the Iowa caucus fiasco would be good as well?
In any case, hereâs an opinion:
" Still, when it came to wooing that all-important transgender vote, for Warren that wasnât enough. She soldiered on, finally reaching peak pander last week when she promised that she would never nominate a Secretary of Education unless a âyoung trans personâ first interviewed the possible nominee and signed off on that personâs transgender bona fides.
Republicans, when looking at Warrenâs desperate bid for transgender attention, can be forgiven for thinking that Warren is not a statesman but is, instead, a two-bit faux socialist trying to cobble together an identity politics bloc to support her presidential bid. What the latest Project Veritas video reveals is that one of Warrenâs campaign workers, who seems to like her policies well enough to stick with her, nevertheless also has serious doubts about the wisdom of her surrounding herself with âtransâ and ânon-binaryâ people and focusing her campaign on their concerns."
And gosh do I just love this kind of thing, which we read about time after time: college students being asked about Trump statements and saying how horrible he is and must be impeached for those statements - then finding out the statements were from current Dems.
" College students need to be able to form their own opinions about policies and statements from 2020 Democratic presidential candidates and President Trump, Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Cabot Phillips asserted Tuesday.
Appearing on âFox & Friendsâ with hosts Steve Doocy and Ainsley Earhardt, Phillips said students he recently talked with on campus expected that any quote he read to them they didnât like would be from the president, because theyâre told in class every day that heâs a âwar-mongering bigot.â
In interviews with Phillips, students called the presidentâs supposed State of the Union quotes âflat out racist,â âhorrendous,â âirrational,â and âinappropriate.â They were later told all of the statements they reflexively rejected were actually said by 2020 Democrats."
Back to Trump! Did he win the Democratic nomination?
Thankfully the democratic Socialism of Bernie sanders is a social democracy that is capitalistic and doesnât seek to change capitalism to socialism. Unlike the Democratic Socialism of Martin Luther King Jr.
One thing Iâm having trouble with Bernie Sanders about is that he says health care is a right. We are entitled as human beings. But a sense of entitlement leads to resentment anger and violence. This is what causes mass shootings. Those that feel entitlement rage when perceived injustices arrive. Itâs better to see life as a gift and be grateful for the blessings. God doesnât owe me grace. Grace is unmerited favor and never owed. Itâs a gift. I cannot be happy and free with a sense of entitlement. This is the âmeâ (Millennial) generations problem. The âmeâ generation is wrapped up in self and self-esteem (sense of entitlement). This why the black community is so violent and aggressive. They follow Martin Luther Kingâs Jrâs Democratic Socialism of entitlement
As any WS can tell you itâs Tucker Carlson.
