Two persons. Person A and person B. A is a successful businessman, he made billions. In turn he gave to charity handsomely and he paid tons of taxes. You hate him. And consider him a great threat to America. B is a career politician. He didn't achieve much and he subscribe to a ideology that is very much a spin-off/revisionist version of another ideology that wreaked havoc in Russia, former Eastern Germany, China, Vietnam and North Korea. You love him. And consider him the 2nd coming of the Jesus Christ. I don't know. I just have a huge problem understanding some people really.
No wonder you cannot understand it, as it makes no sense and is some strange conglomeration of your own fantasy world and biases. Oh...and does not exist outside of your mind.
You sure drink the kool-aid. Trump gave nothing to 9/11 charities Also, from the same link: Also he doesn't care much about veterans: He's given less than $12,000 per year to veterans.
There does not seem to be an argument to counter. IF the scenario you describe existed I would be equally confused. As it does not to my knowledge...the commentary stands.
Bernie is an excellent, respectful and authentic candidate. Trump is a world class (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). What do you want from us? A policy discussion?
You could simply just start a thread that only says "I don't understand what socialism is and don't intend to try" instead of concealing your true message in a quite obvious and demagogic way. Ps.: It is entertaining to see how USA citizens react to a soft social democrat candidate for the first time in their lives. The Red Scare propaganda was certainly effective. Best first encounter ever.
Those over 50 understand the failure of socialism, those under 21 think it is something new and wonderful.
Wait a minute here , Bernie is an old senile , finger wagging , angry depends wearing commie fart ! His first day in the WH would come with a call to 911 stating " I FELL AND CANT GET UP " !!!!!!! This nitwit wants to give away 19 plus trillion dollars of taxpayer money to career deadbeats , and life time convicts ! This is a guy who never worked for a living , started his run as a politician at 40 , yeah did nothing before 40 and nothing after and you want him to be president ? Is it any wonder your party doesn't trust you to make a choice for president and they ignore your votes and pass out the delegates as THEY see fit . After all they are in charge of feeding you , clothing you , providing housing for you , so why in the hell would they trust you to pick a president ? Hil LIAR y will be the choice made FOR YOU ! She has 394 delegates and commie has a lousy 42 and Bernie wiped the floor with her , so your votes don't MATTER !
Seems everyone these days is a bit stingy. The Clinton Foundation gives only 15% of contributions to charity.
Not that I am against successful business people, but you have to understand that successful business in the U.S. is a thing of the past. Young people do not have the same opportunities as Trump had, so it is perfectly understandable and normal to support socialist like Bernie Sanders.
Trump got 100 million in startup funding from his father. Yeah, like average entrepreneurs can relate to that. I lack to understand Trump supporters. And those who say progressives are evil.
Sir, how much do you give? And he gave 5 million + to charity. I think it's safe to say he gave more than all the liberals combined.
Well I assure you that I understand socialism well enough to say, for example, that the icepick was the best thing that ever happened to Trotsky, a very vile and despicable person. Stalin actually was quite a decent man by comparison. The more I read about Stalin, the more I came to understand his limitations and quandaries. Trotsky on the other hand, just was a fool and a bad human being.
You said he gave handsomely to charity. He didn't. Your OP crashed and burned. - - - Updated - - - That's messed up.
I haven't checked the figures, but 5+ million is a good amount; the OP regards that as a "handsome" figure, but you do not. Since the word appears to be subjective, what amount would you constitute as "handsome", just to compare?
Easy, You cant make a billionaire that prostituted America donate to charity. You can hold a public servant accountable. Make sense now?
Hmm..back then what did people rely on as gospel news? I forget...seems there was no authentic medium then, or credible source...but that's just me if only a single newspaper was delivered saying re-elect me for a 9th term or you die. Ps look America Hates you with no way of knowing.
I'm having trouble understanding how your incredibly simplistic analogy is supposed to resemble anything close to reality.
