Mr. Sanders pushed back on Mr. Colbert’s argument, saying that capitalism is out of control in America and the people are “sick and tired” of it. “The ideas that we have been talking about, almost without exception Stephen, are now ideas that are mainstream ideas that are supported by the vast majority of American people,” the Vermont independent said.

THREE MANSIONS FOR EVERYONE! The Bern is an independent socialist. How does that work, exactly?

Seriously.

Give me one of your mansions, there, Bernie. Then I’ll believe your BS.

The man is a lunatic. The amazing part is he said it with a straight face.

Someone needs to ask the Bern ‘WHERE HAS SOCIALISM WORKED’?

Communism kills and these fascist fktards have millions to shield themselves from the rules they want to inflict on everyone else.

There’s a reason people come from around the world to receive American medical attention and it isn’t Obamacare or single payer.

If capitalism is out of the mainstream then why is young America trying so many startup businesses (food trucks, ride programs, apps, media marketing, etc)?

Why does everyone brag about having a side hustle?

We’re already there. Relatively few care or understand what statism is. The rest of us live in a type of denial.. me too. We are there and the horrors will intensify. God bless our president who stands giving us respite, time to get our affairs in order. We have the guns but they have the culture and it’s been a culture war all along.

I hate it.

When I was a kid and heard about the Second Amendment as a way to protect freedom I always thought yeah cool. I understood it, but I thought in the America we lived in it was an artifact and would never really be needed. Now I look at my rifle and wonder what the future may hold. So many people like Bernie espousing a murderous philosophy and I’m the guest of honor at their party

I agree with Bernie. Socialism is not "tainted"

taint
tānt/
noun
noun: taint; plural noun: taints
1.
a trace of a bad or undesirable quality or substance.
"the taint of corruption that adhered to the regime"
synonyms: trace, touch, suggestion, hint, tinge; stain, blot, blemish, stigma, black mark, discredit, dishonor, disgrace, shame
"the taint of corruption"

verb
verb: taint; 3rd person present: taints; past tense: tainted; past participle: tainted; gerund or present participle: tainting
1.
contaminate or pollute (something).
"the air was tainted by fumes from the cars"
synonyms: contaminate, pollute, adulterate, infect, blight, spoil, soil, ruin, destroy; literary befoul
"the wilderness is tainted by pollution"

It is not "tainted". It is deadly poison from its beginning to its end. No trace, suggestion or hint of poison - it is a big bucket of Botulinum toxin.

Liberals know that a certain percentage of the population wants to believe a lie. So they provide them, on a regular basis.

Notice how that sleaze Colbert just wants Bernie and the rest of them to disguise who they really are to make his socialist ideas less threatening. The end justifies the means.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He wanted them DEAD.
He wanted their blood FLOWING in the streets.

The WHOLE POINT of ‘The Communist Manifesto’ is to get rid of the middle class.

You can NOT use Marx’s ideas, ***ANY*** of Marx’s ideas to help the middle class.

It’s not possible.

But you middle class Marxists just LOVE Bernie and his Socialism. :)

BTW - renaming something, doesn’t change what it is.

This topic was covered in Hannity last night. He had some young reporter there using Norway as her model and they agreed that capitalism was propping up socialist benefits. So essentially socialism was successful in Norway not because of it’s positive aspects but in spite of them.

I’ve always told socialists to go build their little utopia, make it real, then come back and talk to me but they never are able to succeed. Seems like that pesky “human nature” always gets in the way.

If the trendy set thinks it is cool to like socialism it is still difficult to believe that they would like an old rich socialist like Bernie.

>>>Socialism is ‘mainstream,’ not a ‘tainted’ ideology<<<

There was a time when some old White Democrat would say ‘SLAVERY is ‘mainstream,’ not a ‘tainted’ ideology’.
