And then Bernie Sanders, it’s maddening.

[Parley Baer]

Bernezuela.

Don’t be so uncompassionate. Starving Venezuelians will be refugees immigrating illegally into the USA. Thereafter the socialist Free Stuffers will vote for socialist starvation here also.

[JennysCool]

I’ve heard starvation is euphoric.

Sounds exactly like something Nancy Pelosi would say, after extolling the fun of all that free time when you're out of work.

God gave His Son for all, not just prissy perfect you. How do you know how you would react if given an alternative life there?

[HiTech RedNeck]

The only thing one can be “damned” sure of, is LOSING. Because that comes from hell.

[Do the math]

I know you are joking, but I went over a year unable to eat solid food because I had Barret’s. I almost died, and anyone who would tell me to my face that starvation is euphoric will get bitch slapped by me. I still have nightmares because of that poor woman that Bush let starve to death.

"The government checked our family, our house, our assets, how many rooms and bathrooms we have in our house, how many people live there. Three weeks after that we got our bag. This has to last for a month:"

Two liters cooking oil, one kilo beans, two kilos rice, two kilos corn flour, a liter of milk, and a bottle of guava juice.

Only party members get that much. Of the non-members, one bought a sack of frozen fish heads, and another bought a bunch of bananas and a papaya.

Why wasn't the MSM pointing out that the food scarcities and turmoil in Venezuela are the same concrete, real-life outcomes of Bernie Sanders' policies?

His supporters "buy" into this "we won't have to 'buy' anything anymore because Bernie will give it to us for FREE" mentality.

The people of Venezuela "bought" into this same siren song from Chavez and Maduro and now they can't "buy" anything.

[antidisestablishment]

Wrong. They gave a rat’s a$$, and he has been in office ever since.

[VRW Conspirator]

... but that doesn’t dissuade true believers (assuming he’s just stupid but honest) like Bernie Sanders from promulgating his garbage.

Bernie Sanders is NOT a true believer. He is a fraud. When asked about Venezuela, he completely dodged the question. At that time I recognized him for the con-man he is. He knows it is a failure! He would not utter a word of defense for the democratic-socialist state.

Bernie's’ utopia in reality!!!

[Jack Hammer]

Marxist grocery shopping - which trees have the tastiest bark?

We’ll be asking the same question in the United States if Hillary (or, gawdelpus, Bernie) wins.

Your post #32, good point!

Only in the end stage.

My father confirmed this for me after I asked him about it years ago, but he never told me they had a name for it. I always thought that was the ultimate statement of just how badly their system stank economically.
