(2,382 posts)... but I disagreed with his position on deploying the F-35 in Burlington, and I guaran-fuckin'-tee he will come to regret that decision. It's the most expensive garbage can in military history that can't fly at night or in bad weather. Pilots hate the damned thing, claiming it flies like a Winnebago with wings, when it flies at all, and the face guard display is dangerously disorienting.
Other than that, it's great.

(692 posts)from the neoliberal policies of Barack Obama. This is not helpful in the least. The majority of the working class and the poor continue to suffer great economic hardship under Barack Obama's leadership. If Bernie Sanders is trying to create a new narrative and a dramatic shift from the utterly destructive policies of the current Democratic Party and the President this is in no way helpful. This is business as usual status quo nonsense.
Martin Eden
(13,237 posts)The overriding strategy of rightwing politicians, pundits, talking heads, and media has been -- for decades -- to keep repeating their false narratives over and over and over again so that it slowly but surely affects public perception.
Fact don't matter. The truth doesn't matter. Sticking to the script is what matters.
They get away with it because the corporate media is a for-profit business with essentially no commitment to the responsibilities of the Fourth Estate and most of the public doesn't know any better.

(40 posts)in the Great Depression when FDR was president I can remember gathering around the radio, often with many of the neighbors, to listen to him as he spoke to the nation. Lo, these many years since, how I have longed to hear a presidential candidate speak the words Bernie is saying.

judging from the hides, number of posts and this particular post, looks like mirt should get involvedybbor
(1,588 posts)But I do not support Hillary. She does not represent me at all. Bernie and Elizabeth support the working people, while HRC is totally in bed with Wall Street, and supports their agenda over mine.
Say what you will, but I am positive that if Sen. Warren had declared it would have been a dog fight amongst her and Bernie's followers. With the winner being overwhelmingly supported by the other's followers. Hillary, not so much.

(12,041 posts)Hillary was not even mentioned in this thread until you showed up. This was a positive thread about Bernie until you decided to come in and talk trash. And you know what makes that especially ironic? You scolded us for being trash talkers when not a single person talked trash except for you. That is called projection.

(15,440 posts)After his brother it is alarming that anyone would consider, promote or vote for this particular Bush incarnation.

(10,043 posts)He says a lot without actually having to personally attack his opponents.
What is left unsaid (but clearly implied) is that Jeb has the same set of "advisors" lined up to bring back the Bush43 cabinet and policies across the board.
While Bernie campaigns on fairness, peace and responsibility, his rivals like JEB are running on a "return to the 2000's" platform of disparity, war and devil-may-care policies on damn near everything.
Its so rare to see a real, adult, responsible candidate that it makes me proud to be a supporter of Sanders no matter what.

(15,435 posts)MSM and TPTB will be doing everything they can to STOP him. All we can do to overcome this is to PUSH BACK and show up at his rallies to show support. I live in a very small home and would love to host an event for him. My local Democratic Party is already pushing Hillary. Live in a very, very RED County so feel I'm spitting in the wind.
If there is an event here I'm willing to go and do what I can. I have already bought bumper stickers and shirts. Maybe my advertisement in this way will help!
GO BERNIE!
