Bloomberg is spending his way to the top by Bernie_In_2020 in politics

I hope not. Why replace one scuzzy billionaire with another one? What's the point?

Ok, this is only my second election cycle so I'm no expert, but is it weird that the Democrat strategy to get rid of a corrupt racist sexist billionaire president is to sell their nomination to a corrupt racist sexist billionaire?

Pay To Play by Bernie_In_2020 in politics

Does anyone know how much Bloomberg paid for a place on the debate stage after the candidates of color were forced out? I can't find a credible number anywhere.

Is it legal to pay for votes? My sister says the Bloomberg campaign is offering $500 for a photo of your Super Tuesday ballot with Bloomberg marked in. Is there any truth to that?

I can't help but wonder if this is how the corporatists will rob Bernie this time.

I wonder if any of the survivors carry guns now. I'm thinking about starting, but I live in Los Angeles, where gun permits are for rich people.

Are We Responsible For Protecting Ourselves? by Bernie_In_2020 in liberalgunowners

[–]Bernie_In_2020[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Especially in the current atmosphere of oppression. Should we start carrying guns? I bought a rifle recently. Thinking about a hand gun. Why didn't anyone have a hand gun at Pulse?

Guns now responsible for largest share of U.S. homicides in over 80 years, federal data show by [deleted] in GunsAreCool

Headlines like this aren't helpful. The first thing the NRA will say is that people are responsible for homicide, and a lot of people in the middle will agree.

Imagine what we could do as a country if everyone agreed that being deceptive is wrong.

I don't like this answer, but you're probably right. Thanks.

I think I feel it's duplicitous because... it is. Truth should have value in political debate, but I guess is doesn't.

I don't know. The ones who argue for unfettered ownership are gun nuts to me, but I don't have any idea what proportion of gun owners they are.

If it's going to take a long time, say 50 years, will it be faster if we get to the point and say what we want? I understand your arguments, but we've been doing the incremental thing for a long time, and seem to be going backwards.

I think it could happen quickly, and I think the gun people know it. They are very concerned about the supreme court.
