Seriously. We need to talk.

I’m sure he’ll do a fine job running the country.
Who better to lead a nation in long-term economic decline than a congenital loser with a serious case of paycheck envy? He’ll ensure that everyone suffers equally, or at least he’ll try.
I know Bernie is 75 but could they not have found an author for this article who was a little more, how shall we say, of the times?
Personally I don’t care if it’s Hillary or Bernie, but the above article was just silly. Rowland, where’s that key sense of confirmation bias you talk about? Did you really buy this piece of character assassination, with an emphasis on the “ass”?
People will believe literally anything they read. If being a journalist in 2016 isn’t the easiest most consequence free job on the planet I don’t know what is. Just type… anything… and print :discodance:
Are you sure Bernie didn’t also sacrifice goats, punch babies in the face, and spit on Lincoln’s memorial? I’m pretty sure he did. In fact, I’m typing it now, so that means HE DID.
The article made it look like Bernie went into politics later in life when all other avenues seemed closed to him. However, Bernie was actively participating in politics in the University of Chicago, and ran as a third party candidate for governor, senator and mayor since the 1970s. That’s only 6 years after he graduated from the University of Chicago. He was just 30 years old then, and in 1981, he was elected the mayor of Burlington. I am not sure what the “It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck” part refers to, unless it’s referring to him being the four-term mayor of Burlington.
Wasn’t he also arrested protesting for The Civil Rights Movement?
It bodes well for Bernie that the hatchet men are coming. Means they are scared. Meanwhile, Trump says he can commit murder and not lose support. Aside from some snide jokes by the late night comics, no one bats an eye. It’s so obvious to anyone with half a brain that corporations and their lackey puppet media are terrified of a Sanders presidency. But you can’t stop social media or 1 person 1 vote. Their day of reckoning is coming.
Shitpost of the highest order only deserves this shitpost response
Interesting analysis of the Dem race from the knowledgeable Nate Silver.

Help us out. Give us a rundown about all the ways he’s been a productive member of society, gaining valuable real world experience in the private sector.
At least they say Al Gore invented the Internet. But then he invented global warming, so that cancels out.
Oh, and The Donald put up a bunch of rather gauche buildings. Shovel ready, as they say.

How is it even your requests come across as logical fallacies?
I don’t know. Bernie’s few forays into the private sector seem to have been monumental flame outs. While it well qualifies him to be a low level commissar it can’t bode well for promoting him to CEO of America Inc.
Yeah, he’s an ignoramus:

But… compared to whom? Suppose the Daily News asked hard questions of, say, Bubbette? Would she fare much better?
Now, a lot of politicians would be able to snow them. Biden did well in debates by talking out of his ass with supreme self confidence, like Cliff Claven on his barstool. And of course there’s Il Douche. Come to think of it. Bubbette has no compunctions about lying. Making stuff up is just lying on a grand level.
Give The Bern credit for candor. He has the decency not to pretend he knows what he’s talking about. I’d say he might learn on the job, but there’s too much other evidence that he really is kind of stupid.
That could easily be arranged but it will never happen because Bernie isn’t supposed to win, only put on a good show.
“Mrs. Clinton, Juanita Broaddrick recently publicly repeated her accusation that your husband raped her and you tried to intimidate her into silence. Your husband has never denied her accusation. Do you think she deserves a response?”
I’m not saying he didn’t deserve to lose, but that cackling harpy certainly didn’t deserve to beat him…

Stranger things have happened.
What a Trotskyite. But at least he stands for something. Something stupid, but something.
I have to respect someone from his side of the political spectrum who can resist spending money like a drunken sailor. But he was undercapitalized from the beginning. And he wasn’t nasty enough when nasty would have made the difference.
It doesn’t pay to be nice with nasty people. Did he not know whom he was dealing with? How could he not know?
They got on his lawn and totally owned it. Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino got it right - bring out the gun right from the start. And there’s no need to raise your voice. A raw display of power has a way of making people listen respectfully. Shouting is far less effective.
Seems like pushing him around worked just fine. He shouted and blustered and looked like an old fool. And his supporters got all thuggish and violent after the deadline for a putsch had already passed.
Speak softly and point a gun in their face. That’s the way to get them off your lawn.
Well, unless the indictment comes through in time there’s nothing left for him but to try to get revenge. But how? Will the establishment feel the Bern?
I’m guessing somebody else will demolish Bubbette before Bernie comes up with a plan. What’s Snowden got up his sleeve?
Universal healthcare, free public education, addressing wealth inequality, removing corporatism and big money from the political process, avoiding unnecessary and wildly expensive wars, making Wall Street pay for their risky speculation, rebuilding America’s infrastructure, addressing climate change, simplifying the tax code, equality for minorities woman LGBT, breaking up the too big to fail banks, etc…
Yeah, what a moron

but Brent, you have to remember that for conservatives all those things are bad.
Actually, this year, in reply to anything from the right all one has to say is
“The Republican candidate for president is Donald Trump.”
“Bernie Sanders wants to destroy the economy by helping the poor”
“Hillary Clinton wants to destroy the economy by helping the rich”
“Only the Republicans stand for helping the guy in the midle, the decent hard-working small businessman, the plumbers, the carpenters, the painters and carpet-layers…ooops.”
Pretty hardcore from USA Today.

Bernie-Leninism sounds great on paper. Always has. So far though its various forms haven’t worked out well in practice but, heck, maybe Comrade Bernie has found the missing ingredient. I, for one, would have been all for giving him a shot at implementing Workers’ Paradise 17.0. $2,500 a month free money would have been nice.

They haven’t? What world do you live in? Are you really not aware of any other developed nations that have adopted many of these “Bernie-Leninism” policies with great success? How is that even possible? Oh I get it, you still think democratic socialism is communism.
