Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI want to bang my head against a wall EVERYTIME I read one of these statements...
"Thank god for Bernie, at least he's pushing Hillary to the left.""If not for Bernie, Hillary wouldn't be running as progressive a campaign as she is right now."
"I'm glad Bernie is running because now Hillary is focusing on true progressive values."
GIVEN HER HISTORY OF EXPEDIENCE, HER MANY YEARS OF FLIP FLOPPING, WHICH I SEE NO ONE DENYING, WHY THE FUCK DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE HER?
Sorry for shouting.

(14,733 posts)It just means she's talking farther left briefly, while campaigning. It certainly won't affect her time in office, if she gets there.

(1,884 posts)We finally have one running on what used to be the Democratic platform. A platform with the people in mind, and we are being told he is not a real Democrat. We are being told that nothing Bernie wants to do can work. By whom? The ever Rightward drifting backers of the 1% and the status quo, claiming to be the real Democrats.
Bernie is more of an actual Democrat than anyone running for President since ??? Carter? Kennedy? Eisenhower? Truman?
Eisenhower was the last true Republican to become President. Every single Republican President elected after him, are guilty of impeachable crimes against the American People... Often deserting of prison time, though none have been tried.

Gregorian
(23,867 posts)Good for profits; bad for society. That sums up what I heard on Richard Wolff's latest podcast. And this is exactly the results of unconscious people taking advantage of the system in order to gain wealth.
I don't think it's malicious. And people can start out poor, become wealthy, and then become unconscious people. Who is that recording magnate who just tried to use Bernie as his platform for animals? Ellison. He offered his endorsement to Bernie if in exchange Bernie would promote his animal related platform. It sounds like a good platform, but, Bernie didn't think it is what the people want, said no, and Ellison went on his way. He then endorsed Hillary Clinton. So I imagine we'll be hearing from Clinton about her new plan which regulates some kinds of animal farming.
So I think when you are irritated by what you say in your post, it is probably from this political direction. One is financial, and the other is people. One is put first before the other. When in reality, we are a community of humans. Animals. That's what we are, and we should be conscious of that. The money is in the wrong direction, although we have been trained to behave as though it is the essential. So when we hear Bernie putting humane propositions on the table, we are filled with glee.

(104 posts)Basically, she's adopted the populist position, I fear she will flip on this pretty much from the first day in office. If you care about the environment and about workers in this country not driven to compete with slave wage economic states i.e. Vietnam. You can't risk a vote for her, I'm going to be fair, she is a thousand times better than any republican, but let's really analyze who she is. She is a centrist, corporate "democrat", she is not "progressive."
Anyways, great point.

She is not a progressive. She doesn't support LBGT equality or any other human rights. She's against economic justice. Social justice is just a buzzword to her and her peeps. She supports the Bush Admin stances on war and gov't powers.
She's just supposed to abandon her core values because some nutty socialist from Vermont is getting some traction? Plz...Whatever it takes to win, Team Hill has said so.

she means it. Not at all. But Bernie has now made it the conversation to have. He's legitimized an entire set of ideas that, before, were brushed off like dandruff by the MSM and their candidates.
He is the 99% in at the microphone for the first time. The Baggers got about 7 candidates and a terrified Republican Congress for their efforts but the 99 got nothinguntil Bernie.
This is scant consolation, but for this corporate nation, it's been like turning an ocean liner in a storm.
Movements take relentless work and commitment.
We can't tune out on politics if Bernie is not the candidate. His candidacy is the closest we've gotten to the prize in 50 years.

(3,568 posts)Bernie says something and people seem to respond...well, then she'll say that too. Very simple formula. Whatever they like to hear, say that's what you're going to do. Whatever that may be. If Hillary was a Republican she'd be talking about building a giant wall and having Mexico pay for it.
WHATEVER! "Tell me what they want and I'll promise to give it to them. Tell me what they don't like and I won't like it either." Politicians make promises all the time and then do whatever the hell they want once they get in. It's what they do and she knows that and does it as well as anyone. Bernie Sanders has never done that. He has been fighting the same fight to enable a better life for all Americans throughout his career.

(6,994 posts)The only thing I care about with a Democratic President is the SCOTUS appointments and a National Right to Work law and I don't trust Hillary on either one..
She owes Corporate America so much if they push National Right to Work law Hillary would probably say how great that would be for labor...
She is going to approve the TPP and Keystone so look for her to give the Corporate Mafia what they wish for.
