Trump was elected by racist white people. He won through the electoral college which favors smaller states, most of whom are populated by racist white people. If you want to use this strategy, go find a Republican who supports the issues you favor. Come to think of it, Bernie leans towards racism so maybe he should run as a Republican next time.
You say he's OK- then you spend the next dozen posts bashing him.
Funny, I don't recall any other presidential candidate ever getting arrested at civil rights protests. Gaslight much?
Keep crying?
Well it's true. Clinton actually beat Trump when it came to the vote but she lost in the electoral college vote. But you've called her the worst candidate ever. Then again, Bernie lost to her. That makes him worse. Logical arguments aren't restricted to geometry. Not that you know anything about either.
If he's such a supporter of civil rights, why did Black Lives Matter protesters have to crash his rally? Why weren't they invited to speak as they had requested. If he is such a supporter of civil rights, why did he give BLM the cold shoulder over and over again?
I'd vote for Bernie or Biden if they win the Democratic Party's nomination. I've said I'd prefer somebody who is younger. The more you hate on her, the more I like Kamala Harris.
I'm an old white guy probably like you but have 20 friends 18 to 25 years old that roll threw.Every one of these young people that support Bernie are lazy and looking for something for nothing. You appear to me to be someone that wasn't very successful in life and want others to support you.
Trump won because Clinton and the DNC could not conceal their contempt for the needs of middle class Americans and lost to a lying clown.
that article is heavily skewed and purposely vague for shock and awe sake. do i think we live in a democracy? not really, but let me explain why this article is misleading anyway. first off it says 158 families and the companies they control. well these are publicly traded companies and in some cases even commodities or traders, but again almost all exclusively publicly traded. so when a company is publicly traded no patriarch of a single family is donating this money. as a matter of fact it would be just as likely that a company would contribute counter to it's founder as with them. it is a disgrace imo the new york times would even sponsor such utter non journalism, in a an attempt to sensationalize some sorta iluminati BS. only ignorance would lead ppl to think how amazon contributes is how jeff bezos contributes or that all donations from google reflect the beleifs of larry page and sergey brin.
Hypocrite
You're welcome to your opinion. See you at the voting booth.
So the fact that they can magnify their influence through the giant corporations they control makes it just fine?!
I'm fighting for this thing called democracy.
What she said
man i am not going down this rabbit hole with you because you have already jumped too far down it. however you can disagree all you want, and assign control to any number of families you want, the faxct is more money comes from PAC's and enterprise corps than via private family donations. the problem is the same regardless so there is even lesss of a point to argue about it. the fact is money controls politics not ppl or democracy. if you want to argue about if it is 158 familes or an arsenal of PAC's then you are wasting your time imo
you are correct i wouldn't recognize it because it is an ideal and not real so gl with your democracy
The Supreme Court ruled with Citizen's United to overturn most campaign finance reform laws and makes it impossible to restrict corporations from making huge donations to candidates. In 2015, every Democratic Caucus Senator voted in favor of repealing the Citizen's United ruling and every Republican Senator sustained their filibuster of this measure. Why do you continue to support Republicans?
More weak smears that ignore the facts. Bernie stepped right up to the mic, took responsibility and apologized to women who were hurt by those working in his campaign. Show me what more honorable than that. You can't, because you're an inveterate hypocrite and serial liar.
