So you actually bought into Warrens "I'm a progressive" act?!?! :rofl:

You know she cost Bernie Super Tuesday, right?
Warren's not a progressive, neither is Sanders and neither am I. A progressive is an advocate for new, liberal ideas and socialism is an old idea that has failed time and time again. Anyone advocating socialism is by definition not a progressive.

Except Sanders hasn't advocated socialism, He's pretty much a run-of-the-mill moderate anywhere else in the Western world. In fact, this country is more socialist than most socialist nations out there, and y'all accept it. Except you like sharing your wealth upwards.

And Warren's a corporate-shrill. In fact, she's a classic neoliberal.

WTF is wrong with the quote function on Tapatalk?

This is for Treep saying Bernie is a moderate anywhere else in the Western world

Bernie has openly advocated in the past for full on Soviet style socialism. You can’t equivocate on that because he’s on just about every medium to this day doing it

Even today he cannot be coaxed into a condemnation of the Cuban, Venezuelan or Chinese systems without making caveats

If he’s a moderate in the rest of the world then we truly ARE the last and only beacon of liberty in the world

The making fun of Democrats for being wealthy has gotten kinda stale but that was a really a tone-deaf stunt by Pelosi so she got what she deserved there.

Kinda like celebrities making videos of themselves in their basement home theatres saying "seeee? I'm cooped up in my home, too!".

I don’t think wealthy Dems are being made fun of because of their wealth

They are being made fun of because they are hypocrites ... if you want all the peons to be monks then you need to be a bit monastic yourself

leadership means leading by example and 99.9% of all politicians do not understand that at all. But we keep electing them so I guess its ok

Ultimately it would take an uber-wealthy Liberal to fix our taxation loophole (slash} revenue vs. expenditure problems
but it will never happen because the Billionaire Liberals that actually speak freely about the loopholes and the proper fixes
have no interest in facing "The mob"

Sam Harris podcast interviewed a few last month
its absolutely fascinating - they speak of the conservative billionaires as those who seek to bankrupt the world in their endeavors
to gain more and more - and they themselves would like to see change but know any attempt to change and they would be hung in the street
