None of them called themselves "civil rights" leaders then moved from a diverse city.... George II May 2019 #147

OK /nt tonedevil May 2019 #152

Why would anyone know that? (n/t) SMC22307 May 2019 #97

Why would anyone assume that he is a Canadian? nt TexasTowelie May 2019 #110

Ask the person making the assumption. SMC22307 May 2019 #124

Why would anyone care? I've never delved into the background of anyone around here. George II May 2019 #141

The point he's making is that Bern talks a good game Blue_Tires May 2019 #148

I lived in practically the same neighborhood at almost the same time as him. Believe me.... George II May 2019 #44

Believe you? SMC22307 May 2019 #52

I can tell you there were a lot of people looking to move the country at that time. rgbecker May 2019 #72

Yeah, he was working the land. BannonsLiver May 2019 #161

cough Biden left a blighted Scranton, PA cough uawchild May 2019 #7

"Biden" didn't leave Scranton, his parents left Scranton and took the family with them.... George II May 2019 #8

Why didn't Biden go back to Scranton when he finished college? uawchild May 2019 #10

Perhaps because when he finished college Delaware was really the only home he really knew? George II May 2019 #12

Nah, Biden keeps telling us his home town is Scanton PA uawchild May 2019 #15

I'm sure he still has family in Scranton, or did for a long time. Except for his kickoff.... George II May 2019 #20

That Biden video was _clearly_ the final word :) uawchild May 2019 #33

Once again, Biden did NOT decide to live someplace else, his parents did... George II May 2019 #48

Biden just decided not to return to his beloved but blighted home town. Got it. uawchild May 2019 #58

I don't know why this has become a Biden discussion. As we all know.... George II May 2019 #67

He was 11, not an infant. SMC22307 May 2019 #59

Did Joe Biden hop into a car and decide to move to Wilmington? NO. George II May 2019 #68

"...Delaware was really the only home he really knew?" SMC22307 May 2019 #71

Bernie talks about problems. But he has been historically thin on solutions. Blue_true May 2019 #19

Vermont was a conservative state when he was first elected JonLP24 May 2019 #36

Burlington was not. Blue_true May 2019 #41

Burlington was very poor JonLP24 May 2019 #43

No cause and effect eh? Bernie becomes mayor of progressive Burlington, Uncle Joe May 2019 #49

Burlington had IBM at around that time. Blue_true May 2019 #73

No it wasn't. By the late 1960s and into the early 1970s Vermont had become a more liberal state... George II May 2019 #70

Reagan won the state in the 80s JonLP24 May 2019 #74

Reagan won every state but RI, WV (yes, WV!), MD, GA, MN, and HI. He also won.... George II May 2019 #77

Human nature is not evolutionary Nuggets May 2019 #53

Societies are evolutionary and societies help to shape human nature ergo Uncle Joe May 2019 #56

No its not. Society doesn't change human nature. Nuggets May 2019 #62

Societies do change human nature, they can relieve stress or increase it. Uncle Joe May 2019 #85

If societies changed human nature Nuggets May 2019 #88

Whoever said we have reached the apex of human development? Uncle Joe May 2019 #90

There are better things in other societies and worse. Nuggets May 2019 #96

That's incorrect, Germany went from bad to worse to good. Uncle Joe May 2019 #132

Okay Nuggets May 2019 #117

Exactly HOW will Bernie attack the problem. Blue_true May 2019 #14

I bolded the last paragraph in the OP from Bernie as to some solutions. Uncle Joe May 2019 #17

See post #23 - that is hardly "revolutionary". As they say, "been there, done that". George II May 2019 #27

I saw it and apparently it hasn't been done well enough or this wouldn't be an issue. Uncle Joe May 2019 #29
