I Googled crystal healing and now I can cure cancer gee thanks Google. — StreetlightX
Well, did you know lobbyists and lawyers of corporations can write bills? What would you expect to find within those bills? — Xtrix
Why would I be unhappy I can cure cancer this is great! — StreetlightX
The notion that Hillary will be selected by a brokered convention is OPINION. — fishfry
I'm not trying to make a point I'm just laughing at you because you said a dumb thing which has been apparently repeated by other people saying dumb things. — StreetlightX
What Bernie wants is classic social democratic goals, universal healthcare, free education and to tax the wealthy more than others. And raise taxes. And create a lot of new regulation and fees and taxes. A lot of red tape from rules from diversifying corporate boards to worker participation and requirements for stakeholder charters. All kinds of new programs and laws that companies have to make. Just massive amounts of red tape. — ssu
The articles can barely even be called opinions. It's just speculation based on comments made by a long-term Clinton adviser (who obviously benefits from having his boss be talked about in the news) written-up and published as click-bait so that these publications can sell advertising space at a competitive rate, and Fishfry actually believes it. — Maw
This comparison is unjust. Sanders is by all means not fixated of nationalizing everything in the market. Only some more regulation and much needed higher taxes on the ultra-rich. His policies should lead to higher GDP growth in the long term if that's the only thing that matters to Joe or Sandy. — Shawn
Furthermore, I'm tired of having the stigma of privatized prisons in the US. This is something spawned out of some lunacy and needs to stop. — Shawn
Look at the consequences of these policies. It's been around 40 years or so, since Reagan and the beginning of the "neoliberal" era, and had run though every administration. We're living with the results.

One thing you should remember. The US has also done well. That it has avoided the ugly side of socialism has it's positive side too. Don't think that things couldn't be worse! They surely could. — ssu
It's a definite possibility. — fishfry
The only thing is that Green New Deal will create jobs and free trade has to be curbed. And that's basically it with Bernie. — ssu

Laws written by unelected officials. People who are knowingly writing pieces of legislation which err on the side of major corporations' profit margins, and in doing so against everyday Americans...
Speeches as well are written by people who are not a candidate/public official.
These sorts of things are wrong on all sorts of levels. — creativesoul

Bernie just got the endorsement of Jesse Jackson. Will help cut into Biden's popularity among African-Americans. Will be a bitter, divided convention. Hillary to the rescue. That's my prediction. DNC will nominate Hillary. The only possible conclusion to the long American Clintonian psychodrama. — fishfry
Can you actually support this with some evidence? — Shawn
What effects? You think that market going down is a source of trouble? Perhaps you should read what you write yourself.You really ought to get your priorities straight. Talk about GPD or debt or stocks or anything else is completely useless if we're heading towards disaster. If you don't believe me, take a look at how something like the coronavirus is effecting the markets. That's peanuts compared to the upcoming wildfires, floods, sea rise, mass migrations, and food and water shortages. — Xtrix
Reaching 100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by no later than 2030 and complete decarbonization of the economy by 2050 at latest – consistent with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change goals – by expanding the existing federal Power Marketing Administrations to build new solar, wind, and geothermal energy sources.
Uh..do what?Much less red tape is being created than is definitely being stripped away...
So...
If red tape is bad... Bernie's policies are more good than current convention.
You'll have to do better than that. — creativesoul
Now you've lost me. Central management is a way to coordinate a large network where people simply cannot all come to sit down on a table and have a coffee and decide what everybody is going to do. Large cooperatives also have central management, so what is your point?So, the alternative is to stick with the fascist structure of central management imposed by the chiefs, CEO, COO, etc.? — Shawn
