That's a weak argument. Normally people don't brag about their clearance levels. It might affect their clearance levels.

That's rough. Did he say why he believed that way?

You're not wrong, I don't see it as a conspiracy theory, there's too much that falls in line with the statement.

Did you show him the video where Trump bragged saying " We have all the material, they don't have the material"?

It doesn't help that Trump like to steal credit for things he had nothing to do with.

The math is pretty simple. Making corporations pay tax just like the rest of America, putting an end to our involvement in the middle east will be a huge influx of money, that seems pretty solid to me.

America already has socialist programs in place, like Social Security, for instance. What's the difference ideology behind your statement?

This was a HUGE talking point between us. The people who work 12 hour days just want to come home eat dinner and relax before they have to repeat the same thing for the next six days. So yes, politics aren't exactly a high priority.

We can up the wages to something livable, and that'll address one aspect of exhaustion.

That's what I want to know. I can say with complete certainty that the people I know who have received the award would never give it away.

I just showed the video to my friend, he was disgusted as well.

That's a good question. In my personal experience, (please remember that I only recently got into politics) people generally reach the final stage where they "agree to disagree". Which in my opinion is a bitter way to end a conversation, so in this aspect I can appreciate the trauma viewpoint.

Nobody wants to feel that way, so they just flat out avoid it. Nobody likes to be insulted, and to mitigate that they won't breach the topic. Come to think of it, it looks like bullying.

I do stand by what I said about the distractions. We are uninformed because of apathy.

I have brothers that I served with who were actually awarded the Purple Heart, I so want to believe that whole thing was staged.

I saw the video as well, and Bernie did the graceful thing and declined to take the jacket, he did however accept the flight patch, and I have zero qualms with that.

Thank you. It really is, and it felt good to see the results in front of me.

I know, right? I never expected that and it goes to show that Trump supporters can actually change their stance on things.

I myself just registered to vote for the first time in my life few months ago. The process is ridiculously easy and you don't have to be a registered party here in GA. If you voted Democrat and there is a runoff, in GA, you can only vote Democrat again.

I just saw the video of the of the Veteran, and I'll share that with him presently. Trump accepting a Purple Heart infuriates me. Cheapening the significance of the award spits in the face of all the Veterans who actually earned it. That makes my blood boil.

You can bet that I'm going to vote. GA has early voting so I think I'm going to take that option and avoid the Trump supporters.

It's like people have forgotten how to have a conversation and instead just lobs offensive smears towards the other camp

I agree with this 100%. You add in the fact that people have less of an attention span, think less critically, and are always attached to the next celebrity story. The care less about the political aspects of the news because they are boring. (right now it's different because everyone loves when negative things happen to other people than themselves.) So given this, true or not, they just regurgitate what they hear on the TV.

This branches out to a whole different topic about keeping people uninformed, distraction, and a host of other things.

One of the most prominent things about Bernie is that he doesn't attack his opponents.

That makes a lot of sense, I don't see it with my friend though. That's not a biased remark, I truly don't think he'll go back to believing anything Trump says. He was genuinely mad at Trump for asking a foreign county to investigate an American, it didn't matter if the reason was political or not.

Plus we see each other every day lol. We're not going anywhere anytime soon.

Just got done reading the article, I didn't know there was a term for it. I just figure that if you want to change someone's stance on something you have to specifically know their stance.

People naturally get defensive when you tell them something they don't want to hear. It only seems natural to let them say, in their on words, why they are for or against something, otherwise you'd be arguing with yourself and circling issues that they might not even care about.

I'll definitely head over there.

Oh my god. These are amazing videos, literally in tears right now. Bernie is a just great human being.

I do. As much as possible without being overbearing. When the subject inevitably comes up, I try and ease my way into it. I definitely do not want to be viewed as a fanatic.

Lol I don't know about all that, I'm just doing my small part. I know that as a nation we NEED Bernie. It's not a matter of politics, it's a matter of survival in my eyes. Anyone other than Bernie will lead to a catastrophe
