I guess I have to give some credit to Fox News for doing this, even though some of the host's responses and rebuttals are absolutely idiotic, (for example when she sort of equates Bernie Sanders' wanting down-trodden minorities to vote to help Democrats with Republicans suppressing their right to vote to help their cause -- holy shit, wow -- Republicans denying rights vs Democrats wanting equal rights. It's strange that she misses that minor point). But yeah, I'm surprised Fox News aired this. The crowd seemed very pro-Bernie.

And really, it's about an hour long, but it's worth your time because it addresses actual issues...

I watched it last night, it was pretty good.

He still did the dance on paying for services which is to be expected, the president isn't in charge of the purse.

Pete Buttgrieg (another democrat in the primaries) was on Maddow, that was ok but right now a lot of the candidates are all saying the same thing.

Bernie is essentially the Democratic version of Ron Paul.

I mean I heavily disagree with Bernie's views, but props to him for actually doing this.

He talks like an angry old man, that's the only reason why anyone listening to him. The guy is a millionaire (somehow) off of being a democratic socialist. He's basically a con artist.

What you just said made me think of Michael Moore.

"Capitalism A Love Story is important because it exposes the truth about capitalism, and the great thing is people can learn about the evils of capitalism... for only 9 dollars at their local cineplex"

The fact that people think Bernie has any credibility after he got on his knees and sucked Hilary's clitoris in front of America is rather sad.

Bernie is not afraid of fox at all. Bernie would beat trumps ass in a fight.

So Republicans just wanna deny people the right to vote? It's not merely that they want folk to have to register to vote using an ID or some shit? They just plain wanna strip folk of the ability to vote at all?

Is it being implied minorities are too stupid to get an ID or...what? And we can't blame whatever cost is involved, otherwise poor whites would be impacted too and this is apparently just about sticking it to the minorities.

Fox host: "I think everyone agrees that it's not fair for huge corporations to be tax exempt."

Also Fox host: "But how are you going to pay for all this?"

Did Bernie praise capitalism for making him a millionaire?!

I don't think he's so dogmatically opposed to capitalism. He's only against the fact that it benefits the top 1% so disproportionately. Like he repeated several times on the program, if you did indeed watch (or listen to) it.

The Onion. Classic.

Sick burn bro, you totally got me with your clever quoting.......




Just because Bernie has a platform he's still not in charge of creating new taxes or modifying the tax code. He can say whatever the f-he wants about how it gets paid for but really he doesn't know.

I mean everyone knows the president isn't in charge of creating new laws or taxes roll eyes (sarcastic)

I'll check it out later, but imo, Bernie shouldn't run again, he's better off fighting the good fight in Congress.

Most of the Fox news talking heads are deplorable morons, but they also know their core crowd's mentality very well and play into that.

Part of the reason for why those who despise capitalism do so is because the core concept of capitalism encourages sociopathic behavior like personal gain even to the detriment of others. When Michael Moore starts destroying peoples lives in order to get his movies made, then you can accuse him of being hypocritical.

As if it's not obvious that the US already has some socialized programs.

What socialism really is -- and what it isn't

I went to a Bernie Sanders town hall in my city. It was great. I recorded the audio from it and maybe I'll get around to uploading it to YouTube or something.

Dr. Cornel West spoke, which was awesome.

Post here, if you have good audio. I'd like to listen.

Please. smile

That it does.

No changing it. Corporations have evolved beyond borders, and have more money then nations.


A president can promise whatever you want to hear. Big corporatism (Not capitalism) is in the drivers seat.

I agree, mostly. except for the US. No company or combination of companies can afford a $1 Trillion a year, there about, annual capital expenditure. Walmart doesn't even come within the ballpark of that and they have the highest annual revenue.

It's extremely ironic hearing a Trumper accusing Sanders of being a con artist.

He is going to be in a tricky spot with that, like so many things, of course, the devil is in the details and we know markets/businesses move faster than legislators/legislation.





https://www.npr.org/2016/02/12/466465333/sanders-favors-a-speculation-tax-on-big-wall-street-firms-what-is-that

There was a thread on this topic not too long ago, aside from funding we should require said schools to manage their costs and not just keep jacking the price up faster than even the cost of healthcare in the USA.

Robtard
It'd have to be tweaked and concessions would have to be made before it even has as chance of passing.

And agreed, there would have to be certain regulations on schools and how they operate financially, otherwise some would price-gouge.

I'm not going to go out of my way to watch the debates this early in the game. If happens to work with my schedule sure, but I'll probably rely on highlights for now, at least until the player pool is down to the strongest few. We have 18ish months of this ahead of us, have to pace yourself.

He doesn't suck. Like most politicians do.

Sanders recent "surging" claims must be correct, team Trump sent marching orders to attack Bernie (and his supporters) again and the Dem establishment is doing it too somewhat.

They'd not be attacking Sanders if he was failing to reach people.

A Sanders-Yang ticket may be possible. Not sure they can beat Trump, but still smile
