How about this kite? Still feeling sympathetic?

You realize these are the people you’re siding with right?

Finally a reasonable Bernie take on this site. Hallelujah!

He changed the wording, it was originally in the headline. Guess I wasn’t the only one to call out his bullshit.

When one side is throwing explosives at the other side, and the other side is firing back, yes that is a “clash”. Don’t want to get shot? Don’t violently engage with the people with guns.

“Arguably”? Hey I know this site is a big socialist circle jerk but maybe at least be honest about the abject failure Venezuela has been.

Jesus Christ, this is not “racist”. The first line of his response, which you conveniently did not bold, states very clearly he does not think illegal immigrants are bad people. He actually repeats this sentiment again a couple sentences later, and you obviously left it unbolded the second time as well.

“This manages to pull off the double whammy of racism and misogyny while employing a weirdly outdated stereotype about Latino men as sex objects.”

Racist!

You’re right. A socialist would’ve demanded to know what I do and asked that I fork over 60% of my salary, taken away my employer provided insurance, and demand I sit 6 hours in a waiting room to see a radiologist who graduated from a community college.

You have no idea what I do, and I don’t pretend to know what you do. What I do know is that socialism has taken an unprecedented number of L’s in recent history and will continue to do so.

Well this place is about to go bankrupt from pandering to people like you so good luck with that. Clearly socialism doesn’t sell as much as you people think it does.

Oh, thank God we get capitalism before a full descent into Communism.

That’s what old people do, they die.

I’m well aware of the difference. My point is they’re not far off, and the slope is quite slippery, as history would suggest.

Eh, I was with you until those last couple sentences. But that’s a whole nother can of worms. My concern is primarily with the people on the left who are so critical of our current system that they think it needs to be completely blown up and replaced with something much worse.

Who cares who said it? It’s correct.

Positive examples of socialist policies are different than positive examples of socialist countries. We have socialist policies here in the wonderfully capitalist US of A that work just fine, but there’s a certain breed of leftist idiot becoming increasingly pervasive in today’s culture that actually thinks full blown…

Why?

You see, the problem with socialism is, eventually you run out of other people’s money.
