    That old fucker couldn't even hold his own against 2 BLM women, how the fuck do you think the nut bag coward will do when actually pressured?

    Hell, he and Hillary have had softballs lobbed at them in every single debate while also being fed the talking points beforehand.


    Trump, Cruz, Rubio and even Fiorina would murder him in a debate.

    He's literally got to be the dumbest fucker I've ever heard.

    Thrown in his absolute cowardice and he's will be eaten alive. Time will tell and I'll gladly come back here and acknowledge that I was wrong.

    I am not surprised that a racist like you supports the party of old white elitists. I can just hear you and your cohorts talking "By voting Democrat we can help the poor and minorities because we know what is best for them..."

    The fact that we have a socialist Presidential candidate at all, never mind a popular one, shows a real lack in passing on generational knowledge. Not surprising with our current "educational" system.

    Fine. Let's use the visible light spectrum to describe politicians and governments.

    [​IMG]

    Pure red represents the far right of of the political spectrum. Something like libertarianism.

    Pure violet represents the far left. Something like definitive communism.

    The US falls somewhere in the yellow/orange part of the spectrum. The American right is slightly more red. The American left is slightly more yellow.

    Actual factual socialism falls somewhere in the blue.

    Referring to Bernie Sanders as a socialist is about as accurate as saying school buses are blue.

    You either
    A) have no idea what Bernie Sanders actually hopes to accomplish or
    B) have no idea what socialism is.

    so the fact that bernie sanders calls himself a socialist has nothing to do with it at all.

    No.

    Kanye calls himself the next Nelson Mandella. That doesn't make it true.

    so if someone calls themselves a democrat or republican that also means nothing. Not sure im following your logic. Remember just because someone cant get socialist laws passed in a republic does not mean they are not socialist.

    Check into all the sister cities the he chose as mayor and where he went on his honeymoon (though if you read his quotes it makes a slight amount of sense)

    Oh and no link but anyone on Facebook look for the wrecker towing Bernie's bus with "A Future To Believe In" if it was created it is well done and still funny as heck.

    Sorry no links on face tube or the other because I am racist.

    Do you know what socialism actually is? I don't think you do.

    Socialists can't agree on what it "really" is, but you know?
    Oddly enough, all of them know also.

    Cite your source.

    When people use that word to describe something that is not even remotely close to the definition of that word, they look as dumb as people talking about blue school buses. True socialism involves government/state ownership of all major industry and services.

    There is a BIG difference between socialism and a social democracy. If you don't know what the difference is then you shouldn't be using either term. Democrats that identify as democratic socialists should not describe themselves as socialists because it's not the same thing. Critics of a social democracy should not use the term socialism because they are not the same thing. When used to criticize or attack the left the term is used to instill fear (those blue school buses will destroy our economy!)

    What socialism actually is:

    Full Definition of socialism
    1. 1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
    2. 2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
    3. 3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

    Caboose:

    We've been through this several times before. IYC hates socialism, even though his socialist security disability payments (and his wife's too, presumably) put food on their table.

    And he could work, but he chooses not to.

    I gave up on this whole issue some time ago.

    so i take it you know everything. If bernie sanders says hes a socialist then to me hes a socialist. Now if you want to argue about how much of a socialist he is then i also heard it feels good to piss into the wind.
