39. The basic truths that Bernie tells us in his speeches need to be repeated over and over until

Thu Nov 19, 2015, 06:37 PM

Nov 2015

Americans really get the fact that Wall Street, the 1%, the CEOs of large companies, the outsourcing, the removal of our jobs to cheap labor countries, all of the evils that are going on and that the candidates who get money from the crooks on Wall Street, the 1% and the CEOs of large companies dare not mention lest their campaign funds dwindle. I hope Bernie keeps repeating it for however long it takes for the American fools who chase after glitzy candidates with their empty minds and their vapid, meaningless rhetoric finally get it: we need a lot of reform in this country starting with our campaign finance system.

Though it's not about Democratic Socialism demwing Nov 2015 #6

A huge part of the speech explained what Democratic Socialism is to him. in_cog_ni_to Nov 2015 #8

Yes, I'm glad to see him elaborate on more issues. It demonstrates his vast knowledge on them. nt Snotcicles Nov 2015 #10

He was so on in his closing comment during that section (as well as the rest). Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #53

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to shout one or two words in your titles? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #15

It catches my attention. I don't object to it in the least. Enthusiast Nov 2015 #17

It makes me feel like I'm reading the Voter's Guide for a downballot election. winter is coming Nov 2015 #22

Are you conducting a survey? Segami Nov 2015 #18

Survey? I have noticed the out of place capitialiazation of words and wondered what it is about? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #23

I really don't feel Segami Nov 2015 #33

Just curious, I'll assume that you do it when you talk out loud too. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #34

Did you not read my post? Segami Nov 2015 #38

Did you not read my post? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #40

You can have an opinion... Segami Nov 2015 #43

What I imagine your speaking voice to be has no relevance to the real world. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #47

This is a fascinating example of derailing a topic. Major Hogwash Nov 2015 #76

Nice, why don't you derail some more by posting some more swear words? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #83

I always have a nice day. Major Hogwash Nov 2015 #84

That's good, nice to hear. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #86

What is "out of place" about capitalization? JDPriestly Nov 2015 #41

Random words capitialized is not normal. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #45

That sounds insulting, Thor. Tourette's, and assuming Segami shouts random words. senz Nov 2015 #48

There's no reason for you to care, Senz. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #62

I pay more attention to the content of an OP. Can't say that I consider how a title is sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #20

Hmm. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #25

Maybe because it didn't address the content of the OP and seemed like an odd question to me? sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #27

An odd question about an odd writing style? Thor_MN Nov 2015 #31

The Romans shouted everything! immoderate Nov 2015 #54

Seems like you were trying to hijack an important thread, & get it's meaning lost over trivia peacebird Nov 2015 #56

I said that it looked to me like text form of Tourette's. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #61

Clearly you offer nothing of substance to this discussion. Buh bye! peacebird Nov 2015 #63

Like I said, check the mirror. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #64

WHY not? Why NOT use caps to express emotion? JDPriestly Nov 2015 #35

Like I said upthread, to me, it looks like Tourette's... Thor_MN Nov 2015 #37

No. There is no rational or irrattional answer. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #42

All evidence to the contrary. Thor_MN Nov 2015 #49

You seemed to have touched on a tender subject. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #89

Per 2 poli-sci professors - Sanders doesn't know what he is talking about. Persondem Nov 2015 #59
