It show the true face of the Democratic Party though! Does it really? That Bernie gets an endorsement from a Congressperson? Quite a stretch OC and shows the true face of the Repo-Con party....fear. |

Actually Don, it is the face of my two oldest Grandsons, that think everything should be free. Yes, cancel all the student loans, free education all the way, free food on the table,, free medical,, free transportation,, free everything,, let the rich pay for it! Both are well educated, the younger one graduates this week with a Masters Degree, both in their thirties, both still live at home, AND,,, both with way deep negative worth, that they will at the rate they are going , will never be rich to be taxed!! But Grandpa who has a nice positive worth,, does not understand how it should work,, Yes , give me everything free, and I will contribute little!! What happens when you run the rich out of money??

Far more powerful than an AR15 at close range!! Yes, Rock Island Arms, VR80!! It has an optional 19 round magazine!! The TRUE face of the Republican party is money in the bank, supports the Second Amendment for law bidding citizens. Make sure that my and my immediate families needs are taken care of!
Independent of needing a bunch of free stuff! will give where giving is truly needed,, won't give to frivolous causes.

Pretty much to be expected, the most left leaning congress people supporting the most left leaning candidate.
Doesn't matter much, to me, but I'm sure Trump will break out into hysterics about it, when he's not distracted by 'his' federal employees testifying to Congress today.

Who cares? Bernie isn't a Democrat...AOC can endorse anyone she wants...she doesn't tell me who I vote for....which certainly won't be Bernie! |

Really? Socialist? Bernie wants to get rid of all private property and all private businesses? Bernie wants the State to own everything? |

Hell he wants you to keep your house so we can house some illegals for him.  As far as private business, there will be no "private business". It may be another thing like Obama's "you did not build this or that" or " you can keep your doctor"moment where the new order tells you how much your business can make profit dollar wise and then tell you what you have to do with those dollars. Yes, he is a socialist. |

The vast majority on the right just doesn't get it. Oh, well.......I'm not surprised. |

Why when Trump did not solicit the endorsement and did not instantly condemn it,, The donkey dung hit the fan!! It is not like Trump had asked for any endorsement.

Ask Bernie what he is. He will tell you. Bernie is best described as a Democratic Socialist, which is not the same as a socialist, at all. Not at all. Bernie self-describes himself variously, but in his home state of Vermont he has no party affiliation. In the past he has called himself a Democrat, an Independent, a Socialist and a Democratic Socialist. Dem, please remember you are on the liberal coast. In middle America calling him a socialist is not considered bad or misleading. Many others call him much worse  |

VB I don't care where we are. Economic systems are what they are, and just because you may not have taken Macro Econ 101 doesn't mean they don't apply. I really think Macro should be required for politicians. Might be onerous to require it to run, but have the first week of every new congress be a crash course from some of the best economists out there. I'd like to think it would stop some of the stupid things done, but maybe I'm more optimistic than I thought. |

moreover, I think they should be required to pass it with a B or better.

I think it's good. AOC's constituency is precisely Bernie's. It's the entire "Squad", by the way-- sorrr, I didn't see your thread when I posted this- saraacarter.com/the-squad-endorses-bernie-sanders-for-president/ My opinion expressed in my other thread was that in particular, AOC is one of the most influential members of congress in recent memory. She gets a lot of shit, and her base of general knowledge is an empty container-- but she's sharp as a tack and extremely politically savvy. She's going to have a long career- whether or not she ends up being a one-term rep. She speaks to an entire generation of empty-headed government-run school indoctrinees who think just like her. She's and "The Squad" are the ideological heart and soul of the Democrats of today. Clinton's "New Democrats" are dead and gone. |
