Timur Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I don't really mind Republicans funding Brown & voting for her. I hope that the Democrats will register Republican by the hordes and save Liz Cheney... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timur Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) If Bernie was not a Democratic Socialist, why did he call himself one? He could have said he was a Progressive Democrat, a FDR Democrat, or something like that... Also noting his endorsements from people like Jeremy Corbyn, Evo Morales, Niki Ashton, Nicholas Maduro, etc. Edited August 5, 2021 by Timur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Nina Turner and Bernie Sanders have in one way or another supported or advanced this school of thought in America. The concept that the government can better run the economy than the American people can. I understand that you want to shut your eyes and close your ears to the growing influence of Socialism in the United States as compared to 70, 40, 20, and even 10 years ago, but I don't. And I really don't have to entertain your stone-walling when it comes to things I know to be true. https://www.thebulwark.com/make-anti-communism-great-again/ Also, the growing influence of Communism...

I think the argument for Socialism could be made but not Communism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edouard Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Schultz has made illegal things to favor Hillary that's why Obama called her to tell she had to resign as chair of the DNC in 2016 But the way Biden defeated Sanders in 2020 shows that a majority of democrats remains "moderate" I would say that Bernie is a Social Democrat of the 50s and 60s in his economic policies, still not a communist but more a "socialist democratic" person Edited August 5, 2021 by Edouard 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timur Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 So I just read an article, and it turns out that Jim Clyburn was originally going to stay out of the race until Nina Turner called him "stupid" for endorsing Biden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes two to tango, @Dobs, as they say, and I will not accept the role of beast of burden so the other jackasses can be relieved of their onus. Do I make myself perfectly clear? Not usually, no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hestia Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 minute ago, Patine said: Self-review of these kinds of issues are HIGHLY flawed, by nature, but a typical tactic of egotistical despots to declare, "final and definitive." This isn't over @Dobs. You have overplayed your hand, and indeed shown a profound bias that is unbecoming of being a forum moderator, and shows a venomous streak whose exact origin I am unaware of, but is definitely there. I didn't think I needed to say this but he's obviously messing with you. If he were actually biased he would've tried to ban you or mute you by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
