How is Bernie


going to give free college education to everyone?

break up the big banks?

increase taxes on the 1% to the level in Ike's presidency?

get single payer health care for all?

Win an election without accepting PAC $$?

They are all nice and admirable thoughts, but how the hell is he going to do it?

Who's mole?  :whistling:

23. Nope, but those policies aren't going to happen under Sanders either.

So, will we have people posting that Sanders is a POS used car salesman when he can't make those things happen, and he has to govern pragmatically?

The policies that are indorsed by this party, that they backer of which are much of the 1 percent, causes a social structure much like the one back before the Revolution.

Get Buzzy into that thread.
He'll straighten his fellow DUers out.
Maybe straight and Buzzy don't go together though.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

7. He runs on these issues, and if Congress doesn't support his policies ...

... he uses the bully pulpit to campaign for a more progressive Congress in 2018.

Had Obama done this instead of trying to appease the damned Republicans we wouldn't be where we are today.

Huh?

11. He has to do this incrementally


Here are a few things he could do.

First - Implement a four year cap on tuition.

Second - Expand/Increase financial aid (true aid - not loans) and who is eligible.

Third - Have an understanding that the Fed Gov isn't going to shut down every single corporation in America, seize their assets, throw every CEO in jail, etc. etc. - and with this understanding - we have to provide a stellar work force for said businesses.

When you believe in business - you believe businesses need qualified employees. You commit to providing them with employees who don't go home and lay in bed at night focused on paying off your loans for the next 30 years. That hurts productivity - and prevents those employees from investing in the economy.

Who's going to hire all those subsidized snowflakes, when they're all in prison?

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

You ain't kidding. That is a special kind of stupid, right there.
