@Gerard

his young followers have not studied history

@Gerard

I think this is a product of Hollywood and politicians who need to vilify

[anon15383236]

Only to you younguns who refuse to learn some history!

[anon61221983]

[anon61221983]

Yep… how long at this grad school grind, and I’ve LEARNED NOTHING about no history!!! When will I ever learn?

We need to focus on improving and changing corporate governance: Employees, customers, and suppliers need representation on the boards. And stock holders Workers need more democratic control.

… FTFY

Wait, are you saying workers can be job creators too?

They are the goose who laid the golden egg!

And you think Sander supporters haven’t studied history? You are the one here who is confusing it with fairy tales. Geese don’t lay Golden eggs.

I think we can improve the goose if we do not kill it first.

All the working class ever sees of that goose is the bones that have already been picked clean by the wealthy and powerful. Take your goose and shove it. I think it’s high time we give the proletariat beans and rice a chance.

Your goose vs. The Revolution.

I realize this is total speculation, but what do you think the chances are we could see either the Clinton Foundation, some of clinton’s fundraisers, or possibly the Clintons themselves be implicated in the Panama Papers?

Well gosh darn! Feather me up and call me a goose, it actually kinda happened!

In case you’re actually a real person - don’t be a fucking ignoramus, and even worse, project that shit on those who aren’t.

Yeah, those under-35s falling for simplistic arguments. It’s really crass to exploit 34-year-olds who don’t know any better.

Clinton might be generalizing from her own life. In her early 30s she was working hard for the rights of poor women and children. She was 30 when she founded the AACF. By 35, however, she was a partner in a law firm specializing in protecting the rich and powerful, and increasingly more interested in cattle futures than children’s futures.

I find accusations that either candidate is making the race contentious to be hilarious. That’s the nature of close races. The “lies” candidates accuse each other of tend to be at very worst (in this case) how those candidates choose to characterize facts, but so far I haven’t seen any howlers from either candidate. But here’s an example of how things get ugly when neither candidate is directly involved:

If you’re particularly sensitive to how much of a fight politics can be, gird your loins kids, this is only the beginning.

The record for socialism is not good. Countries which tried socialism have turned to capitalism to resolve their economic tragedies. While it is not ideal, capitalism gives enterprise the incentives to function. Bernie Sanders will lead us into a systems which has repeatedly failed.
