A second chance to see if America has learned anything perhaps.

 

[theeedude]

He will run for his Senate seat again.

 

[ivwshane]

Yeah! A career politician and a national platform and following, with zero to show for it.

I like sanders I just think you guys are putting all your eggs in one basket.

"Everything should be free."

Pretty much sums up his platform.

 

[Moonbeam]

He will run for his Senate seat again.

Must be nice to be able to read. It's a six year term. Hope springs eternal as I guess does naivety. I guess no second chance for the US then. We can see what Gorsuch just did to the working man.

 

[ivwshane]

"Everything should be free."

Pretty much sums up his platform.

Sure, to those who can't think in anything but simple terms and aren't capable of researching anything more than taking points.

Unfortunately you just described the American electorate

Pretty much sums up his platform.

"All cells have rights"

Pretty much sums up your platform.

"Everything should be free."

Pretty much sums up his platform.

I think that what it sums up is the fact you just regurgitate rather than think.

In a gift economy, valuable goods and services are regularly given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards (i.e. there is no formal quid pro quo).[10] Ideally, simultaneous or recurring giving serves to circulate and redistribute valuables within the community.

There are various social theories concerning gift economies. Some consider the gifts to be a form of reciprocal altruism. Another interpretation is that implicit "I owe you" debt[11] and social status are awarded in return for the "gifts".[12] Consider for example, the sharing of food in some hunter-gatherer societies, where food-sharing is a safeguard against the failure of any individual's daily foraging. This custom may reflect altruism, it may be a form of informal insurance, or may bring with it social status or other benefits.

But for you what it sums up is theft, the result of the fact that you actually feel worthless and would die of loss if you had something taken. What poverty you live in.

I like Sanders but this sums things up pretty well.
I do feel compelled to remind everyone.
How’s that wall that Mexico is going to be happy to pay for coming along?
How’s that great healthcare system that’s cheaper in every regard to Obamacare and insures everyone plus is very, very kind to all?
How is the Middle East peace project that Jared was going to have completed within a few weeks or *maybe* months?
Do we know what the hell is going on with immigration yet?
When will I get tired of winning?

No, just human beings.

At least I regurgitate common sense. Saying the sky is blue doesn't require much thought.

This is kind of like saying that socialism works in families, therefore it works generally.

If you really think that this could possibly work in the United States, you're out of your mind.

Incidentally, what happens if people won't give their labor to others for free in such a society?

Enforcing contract law? Or just enforcing the law? Novel concept.

 

[brycejones]

Only to the simple minded.

 

[cytg111]

You could probably get singlepayer with Sanders... He will cancel the wall to pay for it... then slam the Kochs Mercers and Murdochs with 2000% super taxes retroactively going 10 year back ... And cancel Foxs and Sinclairs broadcasting licenses.

I was serious about the first one.

Well, if it would work it would be a helluva world. Imagine (great song!).

Unlike President Hillary eh? You guys had someone who was more likely to beat Trump and nope, let's have him before Bernie. So be it.

Show me the brainwashed person who doesn't believe he was brainwashed with common sense. The whole nature of bigotry is the belief that the bigot is right. I guess you imagined also that I was suggesting a gift economy for the United States. What I was saying is that in a society IOUs run in multiple directions and this fact has been dealt with by societies for tens of thousands of years long before the invention of money.

I say that the way you see the world is from a point of view of personal poverty and that your fear of being taken is because you would be the first to take something for free and not return the obligation. You project a world of manipulators and takers because that what you feel yourself to be. You feel that and don't see God within you because you have been conditioned not to. ICY because INOME.

 

[Moonbeam]

Here comes the LBD. You Idiot. Hehe. Surely when you say Sanders has nothing to show for his efforts, you have to mean to somebody blind like yourself, no? I mean, if he really had nothing to show why would you even say so?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Putting eggs in one basket with nothing to show for it. I'm thinking that those types have nothing to say regarding Bernie.

There's little chance that Bernie will lose and someone needs to have a spine and heart at the same time.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

It's the Democrats, they might be stupid enough to run Dukakis again.

 

[BoomerD]

If the people of Vermont want to re-elect Bernie...good for them.

I DO NOT want to see him run for President again.

I'm definitely not a (R), but I'm more conservative than most of my Democratic brethren. Bernie being a "self-proclaimed socialist" is enough for me to not vote for him ever.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

A self-described democratic socialist and a New Deal-era American progressive, Sanders is pro-labor and emphasizes reversing economic inequality.[3][4] Many scholars consider his views to be more in line with social democracy.[5][6]

 

[ivwshane]

Ok then, name a piece of legislation that he has passed since gaining a national audience?

That doesn't mean he hasn't done anything, it just means he hasn't done anything in his current role as a senator.

Do you know where Bernie should be and where he has made progress? Helping to elect new blood.

I have no doubt Bernie will win either but that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about and it certainly doesn't have jack shit to do with Hillary.
