Total "gotchya" question. I'd expect no less from MSNBC (although plenty of conservative reporters probably would have loved to have done the same).like_that;1782281 wrote:This brought the lulz, but also makes me sad. I don't understand my feelz.

On a side note, it's funny how Repubs will let MSNBC host an event yet Debbie Wasserman-Nutz won't commit to Fox doing a Democratic event. -

The scariest part is that people with real college educations (in real majors) still like him. If you work in the real world, it is beyond me how you can like Bernie. It also confuses me when people who worked hard and succeeded in life want to vote for who the poor and 19 year olds do (note: uneducated).QuakerOats;1782273 wrote:http://humanevents.com/2016/02/17/the-lure-of-socialism/
How any true American could support any socialist is beyond belief, except for the fact that we have a dumb-downed education system and a radically liberal culture in power in higher 'education'. -

It's scary how far left and how quickly the Democartic party is moving. Maybe scarier is the liberal media covers this up pretending it's just the Republican party moving farther right (which is partially true, in reaction to radicals taking over the Dem party). Basically if you don't go along with their bat-shit crazy agenda then you must be a bible thumper that denies science and women.iclfan2;1782447 wrote:The scariest part is that people with real college educations (in real majors) still like him.

Been having some political debates with a friend who is a really smart guy. But he ends up being just like many other liberals I've argued with before - cuts you off without even listening to your point, laughing loudly like it's some lie made up by Faux News (which is now the trendy way liberals try to dismiss inconvenient truths), and actually spamming the debate with bullshit Facebook memes. Most of these end with him saying "that's wrong, that's a lie", and me saying "nope go look it up"...but somehow that topic isn't brought up again.
Then you realize he doesn't actually know anything - no numbers, no verifiable facts, and clearly not economics (which are, essentially, the three components of a liberal agenda that is never derived from logical or rational thought). -

Even if he has a little chance, the DNC will make sure he doesn't. We already saw that in Nevada.like_that;1782506 wrote:After losing Nevada, I have hard time believing Bernie has any chance. -

Companies can choose where to list, and de-list. The competitiveness of the US stock exchanges aren't a mainstream news topic, but it's there.
This is nothing more than Bernie tapping in to populist class warfare by simultaneously promising "free" shit and punishing Wall Street. -

Yeah. I don't think a lot of socialist supporters realize Bernie and people like him plan to reduce income inequality by making everyone poorer.Con_Alma;1782635 wrote:That's addressed in the article. -

"Rob May is a VP for the company (Datto) that acquired his company (Backupify) in 2014. Last year the company was investigated by the FBI due to their servers being used to back-up potentially classified e-mails from Hillary Clinton. Rob tries to instill a sense of disappoint in Bernie Sanders stance while choosing not to divulge his position in a company tied to the Hillary Clinton email scandal"Con_Alma;1783240 wrote:Bernie's right.

That article actually makes a really good point which is deliberately obtuse in the "rigged economy" arguments - it's primarily about multi-millionaires and billionaires. It has very little to do with the average person and wages, people who would never be a successful entrepreneur in any scenario. But, yeah, if you are a modestly successful entrepreneur, the "deck is stacked" against you from taking your business to the next level.Con_Alma;1783240 wrote:Bernie's right. The economy is rigged.

For everyone else, it comes back to a lack of job creation preventing the laws of supply and demand to provide higher wages. And it's interesting to me that the left has almost completely gone away from talking about job creation to focus on redistribution and "fairness", because those agendas are inherently job-killers. -
