  They want Bernie to win the Democratic primary, just like they did in 2016. The difference is, Bernie has already acknowledged and condemned it, unlike Trump, who welcomed it in private and publicly denied it.

  Sharlee01posted 4 years agoin reply to this
  So, his acknowledgment does that stop Russia? Bernie should welcome the help, his party sure is not behind him. Even though it's clear he has the support of the people. Nothing new they are just repeating their 2016 grift. The Dem's playbook is predictable, old, stale. I have to give it to them on this one, pulling the only once used Russia, Russia, Russia on their own. One would think they would retire the Russia bit. It didn't work with Trump, hopefully, it won't work with Bernie.
  
  And actually Trump did admit Russia was sticking their noses in the 2016 election, as well as China, and"many other countries, and he added they have been for years". I think that covered it from the get-go.

  Randy - you and I both know that Bernie has no chance of winning or even getting the nomination. We've had our differences, but I'm sure you can agree that allowing a Communist to take over, would destroy what's left of the Party. Trump will easily beat anyone the Democrats have put up so far. My bet is that Mike Bloomberg gets the nomination in a brokered convention and Bernie get's 2 houses this time around for falling on his sword and convincing his voting block to support Bloomy.

  Sorry for not being Johnny on the spot Randy - I'm not a full time writer or hubber & my job keeps me busy earning a living and all.
  
  I don't care what Bernie calls himself or what he convinces his supporters to believe. His actions 'out' him as a red. But, in the spirit of good conversation, the following list is what supports my assessment that Sanders is a communist.
  
  In 1964 - a young doe-eyed Bernie was attending the U of Chicago when he was organizing for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. (strike 1)
  
  After graduating he went on to head the American People’s History Society - an organization for Marxist propaganda. (strike 2)
  
  Remember when Sanders helped found the Liberty Union Party, which called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies. (Sounds Communist to me, strike 3)
  
  Let's not forget the trips he took to the USSR, Cuba and Nicaragua, where the Soviets were trying to expand their influence in our hemisphere, while his home nation of America was involved in a Cold War (strike 4). Communists in one country see themselves in solidarity with Communists in other countries. Communists distrust Nationalistic nations and leaders.
  
  Bernie went to Managua, in celebration, when Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government took over in what he called a “heroic revolution.” (once again undermining the anti-communist US policy, so strike 5)
  
  Sanders also adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow and honeymooned with his second wife in the USSR. (Not a strike, but an act of total lunacy)
  
  He flies a Soviet flag in his office. (again, not a strike, but it did lead to many questions)
  
  In 1989 Bernie addressed the national conference of the US Peace Council (a known front for the Communist Party USA) whose members swore an oath not only to the Soviet Union but to “the triumph of Soviet power in the US.” (strike)
  
  Bernie wants to completely nationalize our health care system while simultaneously putting private health insurance and drug companies “out of business.” He also wants to break up “big banks” and control the energy industry, while providing “free” college tuition, a “living wage” and guaranteed home ownership and jobs to everyone through massive public works projects. When government is used to control the facets of the economy, it shifts from socialism to communism. Notice he fails to talk about how the profits all these sectors of the economy will be used (not redistributed like socialist philosophy dictates)
  
  Reviewing the Sanders platform shows it to be hopelessly Utopian and detrimental to the nation. It will extinguish freedom and shutter businesses and cause widespread suffering especially among the poor people he claims to want to help. Sounds like a rejection of free markets and extreme distrust of capitalism in any form; a hallmark of communism.
  
  Communism is a political movement whose adherents believe that markets are fundamentally unjust and that revolutionary violence should be used to overthrow the existing order and attain a classless society. In the speech that kicked off his presidential campaign, Sanders embraced the communist idea that markets are not just bad for people but are fundamentally unjust.
  
  He called Obamacare a step towards forcing the U.S. to “join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a right.” (Not surprisingly, the Constitution of the Soviet Union also treated health care as a basic right.)
  
  When he was mayor he was investigated by the FBI for his ties to Marxist groups.
  
  And finally - In 1972, Sanders, was visiting an alternative high school in Rutland, Vermont, to give his campaign pitch. During a question-and-answer session, Sanders said, and I quote "I don't mind people coming up and calling me a communist."
  
  Now, enjoy throwing bombs at me and stabbing my argument with your childish sharpened sticks and insults.

  Communism is an extreme form of socialism. Since the Cold War, many people use the two terms interchangeably, and they are very similar, however a few differences exist on paper. Understanding that when discussing ideologies, what happens in reality does not always mirror the ‘textbook’ descriptions. Both systems have similar philosophical bases; with the main tenet being ‘each according to their abilities.” In layman’s terms, it means everyone contributes as much as they can to the collective, so that everyone can reap a portion of the benefits.
  
  Communism is a political system in which private property has been abolished and all means of production are owned by a highly centralized government. There is only one Party, led by a totalitarian Dictator and often a group of advisors, who do long-range central planning. Everyone is considered equal and no bias exists between the sexes, different genders, and different races; at least this is the theory. Communism is usually globally focused and communists across the world seem to have a bond between them. The ideal or textbook goal of Communism is to have no leader; it is expected to be stateless, classless, and is governed by the people themselves (self-governed). Throughout history, Communism has never achieved this level of sharing. The reality is that all the power gets consolidated in the hands of very few people and the general population never sees an equitable distribution of the rewards of their inputs. Additionally there is no religion.
  
  Socialism is a hybrid economic system that can exist in various forms under a wide range of political systems. In modern times, the term has been diluted and made vague by combining it with other terms such as Democratic Socialism, Market Socialism or other variants. The means of production are owned by the collective with all citizens sharing in the economic gains made across all industries. Every citizen has access to all basis needs (basic needs are defined differently depending on who you ask) which can, in some cases, include housing, communications equipment, food and water, and anything else deemed a ‘right’. Individuals are allowed to own some private property, but not any private businesses. Production decisions are made by the state and often are not connected to the basic economic principle of supply and demand. True Socialism has only been successfully demonstrated on a very small scale because of basic human nature. Some people are unwilling to contribute at the same levels as others, and those who are smarter or harder workers will eventually demand a larger part of the output.
  
  Human beings are self-centered. We see this time and time again when people are put in positions of great power. The likelihood they abuse that power is extremely high. This is where both ideologies fail; the people in charge morph from being ‘for the people’ to being Dictator for life.

  Socialism is already being used in our country as roads and other infrastructure depend on it. Also, public schools and Social Security are also social programs. All successful countries use social programs to some extent.

  You are correct that all successful countries use socialism to some extent.
  
  And unsuccessful ones use it to a greater extent. As we progress, every year, and there does not seem to be an end of that progression towards that point, there would seem to be a problem...to those that care to look beyond today and into the future - a future that is not far off. Unfortunately the goal of liberals in this country do not seem to care and will continue the progression until the country fails. As every country that has done that has failed.

  This is one bet I would take, and bet big... Bernie will never win the election. For the very fact his own party as well as the media, have him in their crosshairs. Today they WAPO claims Russia is going to help Bernie win the election. That should give you an idea about his chances. It's the Dem's once again shouting --- Russia, Russia, Russia, but it's poor Bernie this time around., And they have also claimed Russia is once again helping Trump. So who is Russia Helping??? LOL
  
  Every time the Dems come up with a new form of ridiculous, I think, wow this has got to be "the best one yet"... Wrong
  
  https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/21/poli … index.html
  
  So RJ, please rest easy, Bernie will not be the next president. Not even with Russia's help. He may try again in 2024 maybe the third time will be the charm. Although, I guess it will once again not be up to the voters, but the DNC. So, poor Bernie most likely would feel the wrath of "three strikes your out:".

  The Problem with millionaire Bernie running on taxing the Billionaires...
  
  The Billionaires will never pay... they have the accountants and lawyers and ability to move their money overseas... only the ignorant could believe a President will ever be able to control the Billionaires and Trillionaires.
  
  Presidents are controlled by the Billionaires, with the exception of when a President is also a Billionaire... that is what makes Trump special, he is a billionaire and he tells the likes of Soros and Steyer to go F themselves, and they hate him for it. They can't influence him by 'donating' a few million bucks.
  
  And the corrupt cronies in D.C. hate him... because one after another they are being exposed by him... like Joe and Hunter Biden have been.
  
  Man they are going to have a real problem when racist, sexist, fascist billionaire Bloomberg gets in... oh wait, that's right, Bernie will win... just like he did last time, only the DNC fixed that problem then, and they will fix it now.
  
  Because the DNC is controlled by the Billionaires and Trillionaires, and they will never allow Bernie to win. Unless of course, they have total control over him, and he is just their front-man.

  I don't know - it actually appears to me that Republicans have traveled far enough down the liberal road to not care anymore. To me, debt is one of, if not the major, problems we face but no one on the Hill seems to agree or care any more.

  I don't know if it's a liberal road. Seems to me that Republicans have been jacking the debt up for a long time. Seems to me everyone in Washington has been jacking the debt up.
  
  Wasn't it Trump who said something like "debt doesn't matter"?
  
  If by liberal you mean FDR liberal, then okay. He started it. But look at the history of Republicans in office since then. I don't see the debt going down.

The biggest loss I see in the current political climate is the left's ability to laugh, except derisively.

Lighten up.

  By "the left," do you mean me with regard to this meme? Because "the left" is far more prevalent in comedy than is "the right."
  
  I laugh at funny things and for something to be funny it must have a modicum of intelligence.

  Ha ha. And...do we need to remind people what Trump thinks of Saturday Night Live's comedy?
  
  "'Should Federal Election Commission and/or FCC look into this?"
  
  Yet this cabalistic entity known as "the left" has no sense of humor.

  Trump is not the right. He's just one person. Those whose only idea of humour is to laugh at other people and never at themselves is a phenomenon of the modern left.

  Trump represents your sense of Right. You chose him, we didn't. Emulate him to your heart's content.

  Well "the Trumpers" then, lol. You take one comment and make a decision based on that comment, extrapolate that out to "the left" and then state Trump is just one person so I cannot extrapolate. Up is down and down is sideways.

  Really? He enjoys almost 90% approval among Republicans. Are you saying the GOP is no longer the party of conservatives?
  
  Trump is the definition of not being able to laugh at oneself but you ignore the obvious. You obviously haven't watched SNL lately if you think liberals can't laugh at themselves. Their Democrat debate spoofs are priceless.

Trump has never shown any common sense I'm aware of, Joey. But you're in good company if you believe he does.

  I advocate for a free and open market, it's not my fault that you equate that with Trump. Sorry your favorite economics model is crap.
