Official Bernie Sanders for President 2016 thread

Hell, GREAT post

[Art Vandelay]

I bet Dana Carvey would do a great Bernie, although I'm not sure anyone wants to attempt after Larry David.

Larry and Bernie are basically interchangeable! And coincidently very similar political beliefs. That SNL short last week - "Bern Your Enthusiasm" was classic!

[Art Vandelay]

Boy, that's fukked up. Why is Bernie even running? Super delegates are already assigned.

The system is ridiculous! That's why Dem or Rep, you have to give Bernie and Trump props for how they are funding their campaigns. At least they can be respected for that.

[DwightShrute]

Hillary has almost 400 delegates, owing to the superdelegate process, while Sanders just has 44 - even after a tie and his win in NH. If Sanders gets the shirt beaten off him in the Southern states, which I think he will, Clinton will lock the DNC nomination up.

[Jayvegas420]

......and you don't think the electoral process is flawed????

Those super delegate votes can change, plus they have not been cast yet. Not until the DNC. Are you Trump clowns afraid of Bernie. LOL

Everyone's growing worried about Bern now!

I would pay money to watch Trump debate Sanders.

I doubt Trump know's what a Socialist is. LOL

Are you working for the Trump campaign

Many years ago this country as a whole was not as well off as today, but we could still build bridges and roads, we could have good schools, we could take care of sick people and the old, and we could even look forward to doing better, bigger things, even going to the moon. It was an upward path.
Yet today, even though as a country we are much more wealthy, even though we have knowledge and technology far exceeding what we used to have and, even though our workers produce far more per person than ever before, we are told that we can no longer do the great things we used to do. We are told our government can only take from the middle class, that we can no longer afford the things we want and need as a country and that the American middle class has to work harder for less.
Now, as our top tax rate is historically quite low (and at 14% Mitt didn't even pay half that much), our country continues to sacrifice and become more indebted for the Reagan/Bush/Bush/Romney/Trump/Ryan Republican party’s one goal: more and more and more tax breaks for the rich. It’s a downward path.
We need to do what is right for this country not just what is good for the top one-tenth of 1%.
Tax the Trump Class, pay down the debt, invest in our country and our people.
That is how to really make America greater.
Please Vote for Bernie and Vote to change your Congressman too.

We're more regulated now than ever before, and if we went back to policies we had under previous democrat presidents, including FDR, the left would be rioting in the streets. You want to tax the rich more, when we've already got the most progressive tax code in the developed world. The fact is that when we had no income or capital gains taxes and the government spent only 3% of the national income, we were known around the world as the Land of Opportunity, had tens-of-millions of people willingly move here, and had the highest standard of living for the average person up to that point in human history.

An economist found that median income would increase by $22,000 if Bernie Sanders gets to the White House

Breaking up the banks would be a good start too.

If you compare the standing of living for European Americans to the Swedish, it's already very comparable.

Boy, that's fukked up. Why is Bernie even running? Super delegates are already assigned.

When is a win not a win but a tie?
Bernie wins NH by 20 points, receives 15 delegates, Hilary receives 9 delegates in the crushing defeat.
However, Hil came into the primary with six pledged super delegates.

Bernie doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the nomination, he doesn't have the super delegates needed to get to 2200 for nomination.

Brilliant argument.

Look up the name of that economist in the article you cited and the economist who wrote Sanders' plan and see if you notice anything.

[stevenash]

The top 1 percent (those with incomes in excess of 615,000 dollars) pay 46 percent of individual income taxes. The top 20 percent (those with incomes over 134,000 dollars) account for 84 percent of taxes.

I don't think Bernie understands this.

The top 1% is less than 400k, and I doubt Bernie or most of his supporters care, they just want free stuff.

170 support his plan to break up banks. As far as the economist that said his plan would increase median income by 22k, it is the same economist who wrote the plan.

[stevenash]

Bernie is full of political greed

[stevenash]

No, it's over 600k now, but that really doesn't matter, they are the private sector that supplies the resources the Bernie yahoo's demand

LOL Well what do you know. I'm glad the other 169 guys agree with him.

this drooler thought fiorina would make a good POTUS. you were about the only ************ who thought so.

[scumbag]

understand this about the superdelegates: they can change any time. when bernie comes to the convention with more ACTUAL delegates, and tells the superdelegates, "hey, you penetrates want to screw over the voter, who wants me to be the nominee, not only are you handing the white house to republicans, i hope you took plenty of bribes, because your ass is back in the private sector at your next election."

if bernie wins the actual delegate race, he'll win the nomination.

[jtoler]

The U.S. are imperialists, Bernie doesnt have a snowball's chance to win with the socialists campaign talk, they arnt taking a chance that he might be a thorn in the side of foreign policy and the worldwide raping of other countries economies, based on that he doesnt have a shot getting enough delegates on his side. They know Hillary is all about advancing the kingdom. No superdelegates in the Republican Party, they dont have to worry about the neocons bucking the system.

In fairness, most people like free shit. I do. However I will never admit that, publicly!
The news that I listen to is strongly suggesting heavy shit is coming to America THIS year. On a tangent, Trump should come right out and say it...
We are United States . . . We not only STRONGLY SUPPORT HATE AND TERRORISM (comes in MANY FORMS...lies, stealing, murder, rape, torture, name a poison...) - WE WERE FOUNDED ON IT !!! and then flip anyone who is not white or American the bird...
