Even if I completely disagree with Bernie on everything. He’s very clear what he stands for, and he’s pretty much stood for those things his entire political career.
HB actually made some sense about Obama not being socialist enough.
Why on earth would Obama sabotage his own government-managed health care plan by pretending private insurance was a good thing? Puzzling.

Do you think ethnic or cultural discrimination is justified under any scenario?

@Danielle
And I'm sorry but if you think race had nothing to do with that you're delusional.
So the electorate just magically became "racist" in the span of 2 years? 2008-2010? Even in 2012 when Obama was reelected, the country was mostly a "racist country?"
That's your theory and you are sticking to it? I thought you could do better than that for explaining the 2010 snapshot of the electorate. That's actually the most disappointing thing you said on this website. Pulling a national race card even when Obama won the election.
Obama in 2010 primarily due to fear-mongering about socialism.
Why did Obama feel the need to lie about people keeping private health insurance? If taking away private stuff (socialism) is so great, why lie about it?
People get afraid when politicians lie to them. At least Bernie Sanders isn't lying about what he wants to do. I can respect him for that.
saving the auto industry.
That was disappointing, but trafficking subsidies are the main reason why DC has gotten as big as it has the past 80 years.

Meanwhile white supremacists...
You could convince me that it's a problem when you can post more actual significant race crimes from 2016 forward than I can post fake hoaxes (Smollett...fake nooses in Nascar garages, multiple instances of retarded edgelord liberal students spray painting nigger all over the campuses, etc...)
Until then it's fringe hyperventilation.
The students wore the shirt on Cinco de Mayo to antagonize Mexican-American students. This kind of stuff was not the norm under Obama, and if racist things like this did occur,
The problem is that the Media has been able to get away with redefining a culture war as a race war. Mexico is not a race, and supporting American culture over Mexican culture should not alone be considered a racial activity. Can only people with brown skin wear the American flag on Cinco De Mayo day? Can a White Mexican-American burn an Ameican flag on Cinco de mayo day without being called out for the color of his skin?
That is why I had asked you in another thread this philosophical question.
Do you think ethnic or cultural discrimination is justified under any scenario?
I want to know your opinion.
That's why we don't meet with North Korea.
And you can see how that worked out with Fidel Castro.
The people who kidnapped Michigan's governor is one example.
the anarchist group? Yes, both political parties should be vigilent about stopping violent anarchist groups.

The story isn't about due diligence on Tucker's part or even what the documents were about. The story has and always has been, the deliberate coverup, media blackout, and outright censorship of anything at all related to this. I don't care if blank pages were stolen, the fact that they objectively were is bullshit.

Is "overpopulation" really a concern when the Earth's populace can fit in Texas? Or in the advent of synthetic foods?
Maybe or maybe not, but the perceptions are the triggers that spur our evolutionary instinctual response hardcoded into our DNA.

@Athias
To a degree notable enough not to dismiss out of hand, many of our morals stem from our innate instincts to survive as a fit species; the same instincts written into the DNA of all life on the planet.
Promoting morals advocating for the ownership and removal of cancer helps to keep the Human species fitter for continued survival.
Promoting morals advocating for the ownership and removal of fetuses may or may not make the Human species fitter for survival. Do we need more babies in the world? Or is 7 billion people (4 million a year in the USA) barely enough to ensure the continued existence of the human species?
Our Darwinian instincts may actually be working against what we might perceive to be "moral" if the end result is that the species becomes less fit due to overpopulation.
There are many species on the planet that will cannibalize each other when population levels are high instinctively as a measure to control the population and ensure that the entire species is not wiped out due to complete resource depletion. Many birds will lay 2 eggs and only care for the stronger of the 2 when food is scarce. It's written in our DNA as a property of species survival and evolutionary fitness.

2010 was a referendum on whether Obama went far enough. and he didn't. Obama made lots of promises of hope and change. then he used right wing plans and made changes around the edges. Obama isn't a bad president because he was "a socialist". He was a mediocre president because he was too right wing.
That's an interesting alternate hypothesis.

What is your opinion on why America rejected the Congressional supermajority in 2010?
let me be a little more clear about what I am getting at with this question.
Do you think 2010 was a referendum based on the popular perception (justified or not) that Obama and Obama's Congress went too far with socialist policies?

Yeah, the right-wing was obsessed with Obama being a "socialist." They called him a socialist every day on Fox News. You could look it up on YouTube. They also swore he would take people's guns and many said he would implement Sharia Law. It was insane.
Pretty sure they were more concerned with Obama eliminating private health insurance choices.

There were frequent demonstrations where people drew caricatures of him as a monkey or with watermelons, and people would stage fake hangings of him with a noose.

(even though first-hand testimony is admissible evidence in court).
You probably meant hearsay, and it's extremely exceptional for it to be admitted as legal evidence, and I do not think skin color classifies as one of the 23 legal exemptions.
At its core, the rule against using hearsay evidence is to prevent out-of-court, second-hand statements from being used as evidence at trial given their potential unreliability.
The rule against hearsay was designed to prevent gossip from being offered to convict someone.
All of these exemptions follow the probative rule, meaning hearsay alone is not sufficient, but it may be used to corroborate other existing evidence in very limited circumstances.
The following are not excluded by the rule against hearsay, regardless of whether the declarant is available as a witness:
(1) Present Sense Impression. A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it.
(2) Excited Utterance. A statement relating to a startling event or condition, made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement that it caused.
(3) Then-Existing Mental, Emotional, or Physical Condition. A statement of the declarant’s then-existing state of mind (such as motive, intent, or plan) or emotional, sensory, or physical condition (such as mental feeling, pain, or bodily health), but not including a statement of memory or belief to prove the fact remembered or believed unless it relates to the validity or terms of the declarant’s will.
(4) Statement Made for Medical Diagnosis or Treatment. A statement that:
(A) is made for — and is reasonably pertinent to — medical diagnosis or treatment; and
(B) describes medical history; past or present symptoms or sensations; their inception; or their general cause.
(5) Recorded Recollection. A record that:
(A) is on a matter the witness once knew about but now cannot recall well enough to testify fully and accurately;
(B) was made or adopted by the witness when the matter was fresh in the witness’s memory; and
(C) accurately reflects the witness’s knowledge.
If admitted, the record may be read into evidence but may be received as an exhibit only if offered by an adverse party.
(6) Records of a Regularly Conducted Activity. A record of an act, event, condition, opinion, or diagnosis if:
(A) the record was made at or near the time by — or from information transmitted by — someone with knowledge;
(B) the record was kept in the course of a regularly conducted activity of a business, organization, occupation, or calling, whether or not for profit;
(C) making the record was a regular practice of that activity;
(D) all these conditions are shown by the testimony of the custodian or another qualified witness, or by a certification that complies with Rule 902(11) or (12) or with a statute permitting certification; and
(E) the opponent does not show that the source of information or the method or circumstances of preparation indicate a lack of trustworthiness.
(7) Absence of a Record of a Regularly Conducted Activity. Evidence that a matter is not included in a record described in paragraph (6) if:
(A) the evidence is admitted to prove that the matter did not occur or exist;
(B) a record was regularly kept for a matter of that kind; and
(C) the opponent does not show that the possible source of the information or other circumstances indicate a lack of trustworthiness.
(8) Public Records. A record or statement of a public office if:
(A) it sets out:
(i) the office’s activities;
(ii) a matter observed while under a legal duty to report, but not including, in a criminal case, a matter observed by law-enforcement personnel; or
(iii) in a civil case or against the government in a criminal case, factual findings from a legally authorized investigation; and
(B) the opponent does not show that the source of information or other circumstances indicate a lack of trustworthiness.
(9) Public Records of Vital Statistics. A record of a birth, death, or marriage, if reported to a public office in accordance with a legal duty.
(10) Absence of a Public Record. Testimony — or a certification under Rule 902 — that a diligent search failed to disclose a public record or statement if:
(A) the testimony or certification is admitted to prove that
(i) the record or statement does not exist; or
(ii) a matter did not occur or exist, if a public office regularly kept a record or statement for a matter of that kind; and
(B) in a criminal case, a prosecutor who intends to offer a certification provides written notice of that intent at least 14 days before trial, and the defendant does not object in writing within 7 days of receiving the notice — unless the court sets a different time for the notice or the objection.
(11) Records of Religious Organizations Concerning Personal or Family History. A statement of birth, legitimacy, ancestry, marriage, divorce, death, relationship by blood or marriage, or similar facts of personal or family history, contained in a regularly kept record of a religious organization.
(12) Certificates of Marriage, Baptism, and Similar Ceremonies. A statement of fact contained in a certificate:
(A) made by a person who is authorized by a religious organization or by law to perform the act certified;
(B) attesting that the person performed a marriage or similar ceremony or administered a sacrament; and
(C) purporting to have been issued at the time of the act or within a reasonable time after it.
(13) Family Records. A statement of fact about personal or family history contained in a family record, such as a Bible, genealogy, chart, engraving on a ring, inscription on a portrait, or engraving on an urn or burial marker.
(14) Records of Documents That Affect an Interest in Property. The record of a document that purports to establish or affect an interest in property if:
(A) the record is admitted to prove the content of the original recorded document, along with its signing and its delivery by each person who purports to have signed it;
(B) the record is kept in a public office; and
(C) a statute authorizes recording documents of that kind in that office.
(15) Statements in Documents That Affect an Interest in Property. A statement contained in a document that purports to establish or affect an interest in property if the matter stated was relevant to the document’s purpose — unless later dealings with the property are inconsistent with the truth of the statement or the purport of the document.
(16) Statements in Ancient Documents. A statement in a document that was prepared before January 1, 1998 and whose authenticity is established.
(17) Market Reports and Similar Commercial Publications. Market quotations, lists, directories, or other compilations that are generally relied on by the public or by persons in particular occupations.
(18) Statements in Learned Treatises, Periodicals, or Pamphlets. A statement contained in a treatise, periodical, or pamphlet if:
(A) the statement is called to the attention of an expert witness on cross-examination or relied on by the expert on direct examination; and
(B) the publication is established as a reliable authority by the expert’s admission or testimony, by another expert’s testimony, or by judicial notice.
If admitted, the statement may be read into evidence but not received as an exhibit.
(19) Reputation Concerning Personal or Family History. A reputation among a person’s family by blood, adoption, or marriage — or among a person’s associates or in the community — concerning the person’s birth, adoption, legitimacy, ancestry, marriage, divorce, death, relationship by blood, adoption, or marriage, or similar facts of personal or family history.
(20) Reputation Concerning Boundaries or General History. A reputation in a community — arising before the controversy — concerning boundaries of land in the community or customs that affect the land, or concerning general historical events important to that community, state, or nation.
(21) Reputation Concerning Character. A reputation among a person’s associates or in the community concerning the person’s character.
(22) Judgment of a Previous Conviction. Evidence of a final judgment of conviction if:
(A) the judgment was entered after a trial or guilty plea, but not a nolo contendere plea;
(B) the conviction was for a crime punishable by death or by imprisonment for more than a year;
(C) the evidence is admitted to prove any fact essential to the judgment; and
(D) when offered by the prosecutor in a criminal case for a purpose other than impeachment, the judgment was against the defendant.
The pendency of an appeal may be shown but does not affect admissibility.
(23) Judgments Involving Personal, Family, or General History, or a Boundary. A judgment that is admitted to prove a matter of personal, family, or general history, or boundaries, if the matter:
(A) was essential to the judgment; and
(B) could be proved by evidence of reputation.

Check out this latest tweet from Queen Rodham.
"I was born for that. I mean, that's why I knew I'd be a good president. I was ready for crises and emergencies, and I would have done what you see these women leaders doing. You listen to the science. You bring in people in an open, inclusive way. You communicate constantly, you make the case by explaining why what you're doing is in the long-term interests, not only of health, but also, of the economy. Yeah, I have no doubt in my mind at all that I would have stepped up to that crisis."
The chutzpah of the left to think they do not have a problem with the perception of being professorially condescending is phenomenal in scope.
It aint the Russians babe.
What sane person would actually say they were "born to be president?" This nation isn't led by monarchal dynasties.
You don't just deserve to be president for simply having the correct DNA. Talk about condescending and delusional.

Do you really think Cancer can be cured with government fiat? Do you have any idea how much money the government has thrown at Cancer to date with little to no results?
The size of a standard Car battery hasn't changed in over 50 years. What makes you think the Government can mandate a smaller battery now?
You cannot simply mandate innovation. You have to nurture innovation and hope for the best. You also cannot mandate consumer demand. People will leave the country if they are forced to give up half their earnings on mandated technology they do not want. let some other backwards nation try out that social experiment before America does. America will be just fine if it is not the first.

I see you also think China will corner us on the Green market if we pursue that direction.
China does not even use the panels it makes. Do you know what China's rate of CO2 emissions is projected to be in 2050? Three times the USA if the USA does nothing right now. Much more if Biden is elected. If you care about the earth, you should stop promoting green energy technology that pollutes the planet when China will undoubtedly be the nation that will make the equipment in filthy factories run on fossil fuels. Plus as a bonus, all of USA's waste panels will go to China to be thrown into the Pacific because draconian USA regulations will never allow for proper disposal of panels at a reasonable cost. Much of the current filth in the Pacific right now is composed of American recyclables placed in bins that were shipped over to China to be processed since USA regulations make it near impossible to efficiently process recyclables locally, even with heavy subsidies. Just imagine millions of tons of solar panels added to the Pacific. FUN!
Yay for stupid ideas!

Countries have transitioned through many different technologies and developments of history. From plows and tractors, horses and cars, hand makers to automated factories.
There's not a single nation on the planet that innovated through government intervention. America will be fine if it is not the first nation to have zero emissions on the planet, and it will also be fine if there will never be a nation with zero emissions on the planet because there isn't a consumer on the planet willing to pay the price for zero emissions.
