The Vermont Senator, one of America’s highest-profile Jewish lawmakers, said the Israeli leader was head of an ‘extremist and racist government’ and that the US campus protests against the Gaza war are ‘not antisemitic’
I like Sanders because he isn’t just another d/r. He speaks his mind, and I believe he believes in what he says. I would vote for him out of principle.
That said, his ideas are idiotic for the most part, and he has no clue how the economy works.If elected the country would quickly become a wasteland if his ideas were implemented but I would feel decent voting for him at least.
Funny, I don’t remember ever saying taxes are theft by default. What I have said is the tax system should be fair.
Bernie has suggested this, such as taxing wealth, which is unconstitutional. He didn’t propose an amendment; he just wanted to tax wealth. He didn’t even realize that it was against the Constitution. He also said it’s unfair that Elon didn’t pay more in income tax when he made a dollar that year. He couldn’t even be bothered to look up Elon’s income.
He says things so his plebes will clap without realizing it isn’t an intelligent or viable solution.
Even the Bible recognizes that a poor widow’s mite is a bigger ask than a wealthy person’s contribution of a larger portion of their income. That was written two thousand years ago, but somehow conservatives still haven’t come to the same obvious conclusion.
Our society is specifically set up to funnel money to oligarchs, and then they cry about having to contribute to that system? Boo fucking hoo.
That’s the thing. He knows how the economy ‘works’, it’s just that it works for the ruling class and not for everyone else.
Guess what? The only way to reduce the disparity in wealth is to reduce the disparity in wealth. This means those who have too much will get angry because they have less so others can have more.
He’s not a part of both sides.
Fuck everyone who voted for joe and hillary in the primaries.

Oh look, the taxes are theft guy (who will vote for Trump) is here to say how little someone else knows about economics.
I’m sure all that wealth will start to trickle down any minute now though.

By reducing the amount that the people who benefit most (by orders of magnitude) from our society pay into it. Yeah. That sure sounds fair to me.
What an intelligent and viable solution!
I have never suggested that. Nice Strawman you built there!
You say that all the time.
Nice lie.
The rich already pay more than their fair taxes. If you have a cite to show otherwise, I would love to see it.

As this chart shows, The top 1% pay 40% of all taxes but only bring in 20% of the income. That is paying their fair share.
The top 5% pay 20% of the taxes but only bring in 15% of the income.
So yes, I deserve a tax cut, and most likely, you deserve a tax increase.
Yeah. Don’t listen to this guy.
Wait, I thought you never said that?
That paper ignores people’s capacity to pay.

No, Bernie has shown time and time again that he doesn’t understand how anything works.

Can you find anyone that says Bernie understands economics?
Sorry, I’ve already replied to you explaining basic economics.
You’re the one who doesn’t understand, and linking sensationalist blogs doesn’t help your credibility one iota.
You didn’t cite anything. When called out, you make a personal attack?
