He's right. Sander's entire political position is dictated by FACTS. You know those pesky things republicans try to avoid to win over a stupid American populace.

Bernie Sanders I can beat Hillary Clinton - CBS News

He has a long shot. I know that. He probably ultimately won't become president, but you know his message will at least be heard. Hopefully something comes out of that.

The Koch brothers donated close to a billion to the republican campaign. Thats twice as much of the funding for the entire 2012 republican campaign. Two guys essentially comprise an entire third party.

Why are average joe republicans okay with that?

Scandinavian governments work because everyone there wants to have nice things and for their neighbors to also have nice things. America is too dog-eat-dog for that anytime soon, for that the boomers must finally die out.

Great post.

"Average Joe Republicans" use to stand for something very different than they stand for today. They use to call them Suits.

The problem is that average joe republicans are so brainwashed. Their simple minds make them pawns to the party. It's both terrible and astounding.

All a republican politician has to do is talk about how much he loves freedom; vague generalizations about upholding the constitution; lowering taxes (always for the wealthy btw), and he recruits millions of pawns. It's shocking it is that easy.
 
The very truth of America today is we don't even know what Socialism or Communism is. We simply saw dictators using these forms of Government and hate it. I've asked a hundred Right Wingers the definitions, they don't know and don't want to know. It's politics 101. And nearly no one knows;
Capitalism is when the people own and run Business.
Socialism is when the people run Business but the Government owns it and the people vote on wages.
Communism is when the Government owns and runs Business.

The corruption is the same in all of them. Rich people buying their way into power.

Check Australia Socialism. Dirty rich people like Rupert Merdoch buy the media and politicians. Then the people's vote for wages aren't what the politician is supposed to put in act, "they can't just vote directly on issues either, they rely on dirty politicians that can get paid off"

They have been sold on the idea that a real American is the mythical figure of a totally independent self-made man who neither asks for help or gives it, directing all energies to personal wish fulfillment and making everything a race and every man a competitor. At the core of this is the sadistic ideal that there can be no winners until someone loses.

I am not a Republican, but this claim is simply bullcrap.

What do you base your assertions on ? Your experience on this board ?

How nice of you to call the American populace stupid.

If Bernie is fond of Scandanavia....he can move there.

"Politically" stupid. Ignorance about politics. If we were discussing basic education I would just bring up our worldwide numbers.
 
Long ago Fat Cat Corporations that owned politicians knew they could get away with anything if they stir up petty topics to keep the people fighting. Generally topics that don't have a solid answer.

No one looks at the puppet masters because everyone is focused on hating the other party.

I mean, "The other party" is everything wrong with America today Right?

Which Scandinavian country?

Norway and Denmark are controlled by right wing governments that restrict immigration, cut spending, and cut taxes. Sweden is a cultural marxist shithole being flooded by over a hundred thousand third world refugees a year, that is going into massive debt. In Sweden, income inequality that is rising even faster than that in the US at the moment due to the influx of cheap foreign labor in part. I thought Sanders opposes income inequality?

You nailed it.

It is in their best interest to have us focused on blasting each other.

They also have populations about the size of Wisconsin or Ohio along with many natural resources.

Also far more homogenous than the US demographically.

We all are, we all have a lot to learn.

Mostly about foreign politics.

They believe Obama is a Communist. That shows how brainwashed they truly are. Outside of the ACA, Obama is about as centrist as Bill Clinton was, and the ACA is not some socialist nirvana.

All politicians have the same funding sources. Politicians are puppets. Their job is to walk the walk and talk the talk. We have all seen politicians the last decade talk one thing then turn into Corporate puppets once they swear in. Then the Corporations collect.

Lockheed Martin wants war.
Citigroup wants bailouts.
etc etc etc

A lot of them believe whatever Rupert Merdoch tells them to. Meanwhile, they fear one person with a lot of power.

Do you know where the US public education system ranks among the rest of the world?
