Bernie Sanders and the establishment DNC

[Old Man Jingles]

The S&P was at 900ish in March of 2009 and 25000ish in March of 2017 a 278% increase during this time. Significant because it coincides with the next years budget numbers.

WTF are you talking about?
The S&P has never been anywhere close to "25000ish".
Your pot has been going away when it's "Up In Smoke"!

 

[Up In Smoke]

Fat finger 2500ish my bad. 2499 on March 1st 2017

It's not free, it's a benefit of serving in the military, meaning it is earned. I think that is the fundamental disconnect in socialist thinking. Tanstaafl.

sometimes you earn things just by being a citizen of a country

What can you earn by doing nothing?

I got a text today from the Bernie Campaign....

 

[BrownFlush]

Nothing if Bernie becomes the Party’s Presidential candidate.

Don't you think that the rest of the candidates are closet Bernie's?
What would any of them not support that Bernie would?

 

[Box Ox]

^Correct. Bernie is Bernie.

its called rights. we have parks, military, library, 2 to 3 weeks guaranteed vacation, maternity leave, etc by law. actually earned through labour struggles.

Canadians have a problem with labor & color. (labour & colour!!)

Exactly: the Democratic establishment would be making clear they prefer to lose to Trump than loosen their grip of control over the party by uniting behind the candidate that got the most votes and delegates. It would be a tragic moment but one that would be very illuminating:

If Bernie made it to the convention with a plurality of the delegates but not a majority and was denied the nomination, it would rip the party apart, plain and simple. Democratic Leaders Willing to Risk Party Damage to Stop Bernie Sanders

Hey Tom Perez & DNC corporate funders: totally go ahead & wheel out Walter Mondale & other Super-Delegates to steal the nomination from Sanders by doling out “electability” sermons & let us know how that works out. Your goal is to keep control of the party, not to beat Trump.

The Dem establishment would rather lose to Trump and have him be President for 4 more years than lose control of the Party by supporting Sanders if he wins the most votes & most delegates. Their “electability” concerns are a fraud, just like they are. It’s about control & money:

The same establishment Dem politicians who claim to believe Trump is a fascist dictator existential threat to the Republic are now admitting they’re willing to blow up the Party to rob Sanders of the nomination if he acrues a plurality but not a majority

Democratic Leaders Willing to Risk Party Damage to Stop Bernie Sanders
Interviews with dozens of Democratic Party officials, including 93 superdelegates, found overwhelming opposition to handing Mr. Sanders the nomination if he fell short of a majority of delegates.

Here you go I fixed it for you:

 

[BrownFlush]

I think they will go with Bernie.
No one is going to beat Trump and they know it.
They will prop Bernie up and let an idiot take the fall.

It’s somewhat symmetrical to what Trump did to the GOP establishment in 2016. Bernie is the wild card to do it to the Dem Establishment in 2020.

Major difference is that Bernie has been a Democratic Socialist longer than Trump has been a Republican.

BSanders has been a full blown communist Marxist his entire life. Only recently did he start calling himself a democratic socialist. That's not even a real thing lol.
