Jim crowe wsca democrat!!! Dumb ass. remember that. democrats have long kept minorities down
While that is true, the democrats back in the day are not the same democrats today, same with republicans. If Abraham Lincoln ran today as a republican, he wouldn't get many votes from them.
No not really!! Name any primarily democratic city where minorities have been helped? Its all just talk to get votes and minorities are falling for it..
How is itbstupid when he told the truth. That's exactly what is going to happen if we don't stop IRAN
You forgot Rand Paul.
The Republicans have Rand Paul and the Democrats have Bernie Sanders.
Hard choice.
Bernie is my first choice.
If he doesn't win the democratic vote, then I may have to go with Paul.
@OpenClose If I was an American I would do the same. The reason I care is because everything you guys do affects me your neighbour to the north ;)
No kidding. Same with the EU.
I'm sorry so many other countries seem so affected by OUR decisions.
@OpenClose As long as Trump or Hilary aren't president than the world should be fine.
Trump is an obvious asshole but Hilary is a hidden one. I hope you guys see that.
Every single Democrat I know of is definitely in favor of Bernie. No idea why polls show otherwise. Democrats can't stop talking about Bernie, and generally feel meh about Hillary. Yet people aren't taking him seriously.
@OpenClose I guess it's cuz he's old, that and he's a socialist.
In America, Socialism = Bad even though most people have no idea what it is and that it's actually really good.
Also, I think socialism is pro-capitalism in many ways when done right.
- People are much less willing start a business if their entire livelihood is at stake. Socialize basic needs, and people are free to take more risks.
- There are a lot of regulations on businesses based around people keeping jobs, having certain numbers of jobs, and revulsion against automation, because peoples' lives are determined by their job stability. WIth socialized basic needs, there is less need to regulate businesses.
- I was just discussing earlier today: Universal healthcare, socialized tuition, and things like basic income are much better than things like Obamacare, scholarships for poor and minorities, and foodstamps.
Why? People complain about having to pay taxes to help poor people, or select groups of people, which is what the American system does. When these are socialized, everyone can reap the benefits of their tax dollars at work.
@OpenClose I agree completely, I have always felt this way. However the one thing that has always bothered me about socialism is that there will always be people that will decide not to work. If a person's basic needs are met and they don't want anything else than they can simply live of welfare.
Yeah, see that's the tricky part.
For one, you need to hone in on people's natural desire to self-actualize. People naturally WANT to be involved on projects larger of themselves and make something of themselves. This is one thing psychology points out as well. They find that workers are more self-motivated when you make enough money for it to be off the table.
Two, these basic necessities shouldn't be anything luxurious. For instance, they say everyone has a right to internet access. Instead of giving people computers, you send them to the public library. Want your OWN computer? Get a job. Want to eat WELL? Get a job. Want a good car? Not rely on public transportation? Get a job.
@OpenClose Another thing that I've been thinking of which could work well for a socialist country is a national database of places that are hiring. Have all employers put all the information on a government website (hopefully it would work better than the Obamacare website).
Yes. The gov could use, and be a platform for, much more consolidation.
I'd say Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders would be the best options. Has Obama declared that he won't be running for a 3rd time?
He can't run for a third term.
Hmm I wonder if you are a liberal...
lmfao for real
Good point, I forgot to block her.
I vote for Bobby Jindal
Hey, Bill is a smooth criminal too. :P
Rand Paul would best all 4 of these candidates.
And Bernie Sanders is very blurry in what he calls an economic plan.
How is he blurry? Rand's magical revenue from tax cuts for the rich is what I would call blurry.
@Fugue It's called cutting the Federal Budget.
And, really, leftists, you must stop that "cutting taxes on the rich" mantra. Libertarians want to cut taxes for everyone.
@TheSpartan which is why it's magical thinking. Cut taxes for everyone and yet, somehow, magically, revenue is going to be OK. Nope, you'll just end up paying more sales, property and local taxes so that things can stay afloat. But of course, those small taxes won't affect the rich. On top of that, the richest people already have tremendous tax cuts in the form of tax evasion and loopholes.
@TheSpartan And if Rand was serious about cutting federal spending, he would go to the biggest source of waste, which is the military budget. Of course, he will never touch that, and he'll start yelling about terrists the moment anyone mentions it.
Rand Paul--and his father--have always talked about cutting the military budget. Have you ever heard of the guy?
And all they do is talk, esp. Randal. At least Ron audited the Fed together with Alan Grayson. All Rand does is talk, while kissing the wealthy interests' ass.
In contrast, Bernie Sanders has a ~40 year record which proves he's not all talk.
Like voting yes for congressional pay raises? or voting to raise the debt ceiling every time? I will give him props for voting against NSA spying, but saying that the answer to big government is more government sort of throws me off to be honest.
Mike Huckabee for president!
Agree
Today he decided to go down the Trump road by spouting stupid. And the other Republicans are up in arms against him, now.
@Red_Arrow why does GAG always show your comment as new
We need a Libertarian candidate on this list.
I think you forgot Jill Stein.
We want Trump We Want Trump ))))))
They are all the same shit in different skin.
Disagree. Trump is the best candidate by far.
Politics suck.
Where's Rand Paul?
He's busy defending the 0% effective tax rate of corporations.
Are you claiming low taxes is a negative thing?
That's a cartoonish question.
And if you're not going to use a tag, I can't reply to you.
What's cartoonish about it?

Maybe you should understand what he is proposing first.
