I was born in 1978 what are you on about. I remember the 90s. I was in high school at the beginning of it and graduated in 1996 and was active in leftist politics (I remember Bill bombing Al-Shifa in 1998). I joined 75,000 people in DC to protest the invasion of Afghanistan and I joined 100,000 people later to protest…

37. Why?
She supported NAFTA and spoke favorably of it. When she decided to run for president last time, she changed her stance on it.

Why didn’t they attack her on real things like NAFTA, TARP, the TPP, fracking, the keystone XL pipeline, the patriot act, her support for US-led regime changes like the US bombing of Belgrade in 1999, the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the Iraq War in 2003, the Honduran coup in 2009, the killing of Libya’s Muammar…

“Is there country that meets your definition of socialism that isn’t controlled by the communist party?”
I will give it a go since in my opinion the other two answers were not right. Socialism simply means that the means to produce are democratically managed by communities. It comes in many flavors and names and sometimes the labels are so close that they might as well be the same thing, left-libertarians, anarchism,…
You are not describing a socialist country. You are describing a social democratic capitalist state. In a socialism the means of production are democratically managed by the people rather than by private interests. There are many different flavors, anarchists (with its own subdivisions), communists (believe in using…
“Comunism: we all work for the gov, get paid by the gov, nobody starves, nobody prospers (except corrupt party members)“
This is not correct. A communist country is stateless. Communism is stateless socialism. Marx believed that the instabilities in Capitalism would ultimately give rise to a dictatorship of the…
Bernie supporter here. I make 6 figures, have a PhD, a home, a car and most of my colleagues are similar and also Sanders supporters. I think that generalization that you are assuming only exists in your head because it supports your worldview. Also, I am not trying to help people live like me. I am attempting to make…
Saying that Hillary didn’t vote for a bill that she was not eligible to vote for makes little sense when trying to prove any sort of point. She did support it, helped campaign for it, and bragged about it for a very long time afterwards though. Bernie said it was bad, but did some good things, and felt it was a…
“which has one of the highest incarceration rates for POC”
Honest question - is that in the purview of a state senator?
He doesn’t have children and he and his wife have high paying careers (or they will eventually) and the means to get the education that those careers demanded. He confuses poverty with being a broke college student and doesn’t understand how much more difficult and stressful it is being indefinitely poor with children…
I grew up poor and sometimes lower middle class. Most poor people in my neighborhood worked two jobs. My dad and mom both did. They worked 70-80 hours per week each but that doesn’t take into account the 2-3 hours of commuting per day to and from each job. With 8 hours of sleep they were looking at 2-4 hours of free…
This cyclist committed a very minor traffic violation. His punishement is a ticket and probably a $100 fine. It is hard to argue that his violation reasonably contributed to the incident because the motorist did not behave reasonably. You could not predict, prior to the incident, that the motorist would attempt to run…
Yes. Skip running them off the road with your car...lets be clear this is attempted murder. If you see someone not come to complete stop pull out your piece and smoke that minor traffic offender.
“What I said was, the biker contributed to his situation by passing on the DY and physically putting himself there when he shouldn’t have been.”
Errr....no. What you are saying would be true if he were struck by an oncoming vehicle but that is not what happened. The motorcyclist could not have foreseen that the car…
You are doing the same thing. It could be the case that the email was upgraded to classified because she accidently sent classified information with it, however, there is no indication either way. There are thousands of reasons that a reclassification can happen. Maybe she is guilty of all of them. But you are…
