Bernie Sanders had a heart Attack

He's got socialism figured out: it's the ultimate Ponzi-scheme in that you make out pretty well if you're at the top of the pyramid.

 

He's running as a Dem isn't he?

 

yes absolutely

 

Trump is 73 and if he gets a second term he will be president until he is 78. Trump is already the oldest president on record.
Maybe Sanders should stop the campaign. At such advanced age and after heart attack he should more concentrate to taking care of himself.

 

What is a "social Democrat".?? I stopped being a Democrat officially when John MCCain ran in the Republican primary against Bush W. even when I was a Dem I was in the RW of the dem Party such as the Scoop Jackson, Sam Nunn, Ben Nelson, Bob Kerry.
The label of "socialist" is meant to be a pejorative. The funny thing is that many of those types who use the socialist label as an attack weapon are first in line with open hands to receive socialist freebies such as agricultural farm supports, Trump's socialist payola aka Farm Bailout due to Trump tariff war. How many of those Trump fans who spit out
saliva on his command at his rallies will give up their socialist Medicare , or socialist weekends off, or socialist paid vacations, or socialist medical insurance benefits! I know the answer, NONE.

So I am agreeing with you to a degree but the reason that I had to not be a Democrat any more is that the Dems have gone way to far on welfare, on Afirmative Action, on special right for homosexuals and the for the 10,000 types of trans sexual make it up gender of the moment nonsense.
The kicker is noe Dems are swinging to the Reparations marching song.

Having said that we all know that the term socialist is designed to be weaponized and get voters to respond like rabid dogs in the attack mode on the sound of "socialist".

 

You obvious don't know about Democrats.

Back in 1998 the election for Sheriff of Los Angeles County the incumbent Sheriff died.

But the Democrats of the County Board of Supervisors endorsed the dead, Sheriff Sherman Block to be Sheriff.
The dead Sheriff lost the election with only getting 38.7% of the votes.
703,178 low information voters voted for a dead man.

No different than today, millennials and socialist will always vote for a dead man.

The Bernie Sanders delegates at the Democratic National Convention will sell their votes to the most radical socialist at the convention. Probably a cannibal.

 

Fine. Make it 70. We'll be rid of Trump, Sanders, Warren, and Biden in one shot.

 

I suspect @btthegreat was referring to social liberals.

Okay.

They're not real socialists because they're not in favor of collectivizing production. But they do support redistributing income and wealth.

What is a "special right" for homosexuals? I don't see many, if any.

They're talking about it, but not seriously.

True.

 

Socialism is collectivizing production, not a phony investment.

 

Socialism is the same scam as a phony investment: money is stolen from honest workers, and the dishonest politically connected are the only ones to benefit.

 

I wish sanders no harm nor anyone else, to sink that low that you have to wish people ill because of their Politics were all in trouble.
I wish him godspeed in recovering, unfortunately I believe his campaign to be President may slide

 

Bernie is a good guy, but I think he needs to step down

 

not good while republican are in charge that is for sure

 

seems Trump is having some age related mental issues, I do think an age limit might be good, but will never happen

 

it could mean his voters move to support Warren, time will tell - be bad for Biden if so

 

Same with voting.
Minimum age to vote should be 28 years of age.

 

28?

so raise the age to enlist to 28 too?

 

Stealing from workers is hardly limited to socialism. Anyway, a Ponzi scheme:

"A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investing scam promising high rates of return with little risk to investors. The Ponzi scheme generates returns for early investors by acquiring new investors. This is similar to a pyramid scheme in that both are based on using new investors' funds to pay the earlier backers. Both Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes eventually bottom out when the flood of new investors dries up and there isn't enough money to go around. At that point, the schemes unravel."

Yeah, won't happen. Trump lacks some of the self-control he had when he was younger.

 

For grunts, 24 to 28 years of age with two years of college make the best grunts.

Before they changed the way how the draft worked, they first drafted those in their mid and late 20's and then those in their 30's before they started drafting 18 and 19 year olds.

Kinda like what happened to Dick Cheney, he was too young to get drafted and when they changed the law in the early 1960's Cheney found himself being to old to get drafted.

Back before the early 1960's you couldn't get drafted until you were 21 years of age.
Elvis Presley was drafted in 1958 when he was 23 years old.

 

Wish Sanders good health even though I disagree with his politics. As a member of the political elite establishment, he has the best health care in the US. Not so sure the vast majority of his supporters have the same cushy health care plan and access to doctors.

Irony.

 

Have no idea what your point is. Thanks to a Republican being in charge, more blacks are working than ever before in history, and hispanics have hit a record too. The last time this percentage of Americans had jobs it was 1969.

 

Oh, so your point is that I didn't mention Socialism's end game: it all falls apart when the people on top of the pyramid run out of other people's money.

 

Why 28?

 

I will pray for him regardless of his political views... and you should too.... if you believe in God. Please. Thanks.
