Bernie Sanders Can’t Win. Class loathing feels so good, but it is ultimately self-defeating.

Bernie can’t win the general, but he can win the primaries, and if he is booted out for the second time in a row then while he won’t beat Trump he just might beat the Democrat.

I live in an open primary state.
Go Bernie, ya stinky old communist.

When people are questioned about specific parts of socialism, an overwhelming majority of them reject it, indicating that they really don’t understand socialism.

http://www.georgebarna.com/research-flow/2018/3/28/americans-favor-capitalism-tempted-by-socialism-ill-informed-about-both?fbclid=IwAR3P2bEDthp8hqdbwuz9WzZYD5_UQeDgUmSlJoPE-_hdPhqqRHqhG8CP7rA

An overwhelming ratio of adults (12-to-1) says they prefer a nation with individual ownership of private property to one where all property is owned by the government (82% – 7%)
By a 6-to-1 ratio, Americans want a government that takes its direction from the people rather than to live in a nation where the population takes its direction from the government (76% – 12%)
Economically, there are six Americans who want a country featuring prices of goods based on the free market for every one person who prefers to have the price of goods determined by government policies (75% – 12%)
Americans prefer a society based on self-reliance instead of government reliance by a 5:1 ratio (69% – 14%)
U.S. citizens are four times more likely to desire an economy based on private enterprise than one based upon government-run industries (65% – 15%)
Americans are more than three times as likely to opt for a government with limited power and an agenda defined and monitored by the public than to desire a government with high ideals and unlimited authority to pursue those ideals (67% – 19%)
People are twice as likely to want a government of servant-leaders whose job is to discern and carry out the will of the people to a government of experts who have good intentions and substantial power to make decisions for the people (60% – 28%)

Watching “Succession,” the HBO show about the most despicable plutocrats to seize the public imagination since the Trumps were forced on us, made me want to tax the ultrarich into a homeless shelter.

Timothy Egan has a net worth of multimillions, and has never wanted for things like food or shelter, but still he finds room in his heart for envy of those millionaires worth more than his skinny millionaire self.

The entire political foundation of leftism in this country is built on envy, with everybody wealthier than you, or wealthier than you pretend to be, an enemy worthy of great punishment for that sin.

With the Slimes posting this article, it’s clear the DemonShit establishment is in full panic mode.

How can all their family members collect on their bribe money from their choice positions if Bernie goes and wreaks everything.

A very heart felt apology for referencing the wrong Sanders. I hope you understand my heart is in the right place. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Sometimes I write from the heart without thinking - I think thats heart of the problem or Bernie's heart problem something like that 🙂
