I think it is a moot point artislife Apr 2019 #1

I've just always seen ThinkProgress (and CAP Action) as quite progressive SFnomad Apr 2019 #2

I think by using BS instead of Sanders, you tip your hand artislife Apr 2019 #5

I'm not "tipping my hand" ... I'm not a fan of BS, I've never tried to pretend otherwise SFnomad Apr 2019 #10

So what we use BS' initials? Cha Apr 2019 #20

Still fighting last election, I see. nt artislife Apr 2019 #21

No, try to keep up.. this is the 2020 Cha Apr 2019 #22

How is using a Senator's initials "fighting the last election"? George II Apr 2019 #47

"Tipping what hand"? George II Apr 2019 #48

Actually that's not entirely true. A big portion of his book sales were to the organizers.... George II Apr 2019 #6

Wow, that was pretty slick. But nothing surprises me anymore. Blue_true Apr 2019 #12

You mean like the Clintons fanbase pushed their income into the multimillions buying their books? ehrnst Apr 2019 #34

I think Goldman Sachs and their ilk artislife Apr 2019 #80

I have no idea what you are saying there. ehrnst Apr 2019 #84

I bet. It's selective artislife Apr 2019 #85

Red Herring anyone? ehrnst Apr 2019 #86

That's not true. Most of his books were bought in bulk. George II Apr 2019 #49

I'm reminded of how the Scientologists were caught buying in bulk... NurseJackie Apr 2019 #54

Interesting. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2019 #81

While I'm with AOC that every billionaire is a failure of policy, PatrickforO Apr 2019 #3

No one says that every Democrat should apologize for accumulating personal wealth. However.... George II Apr 2019 #7

Well, the video shows he was bashing "millionaires", until he became one n/t SFnomad Apr 2019 #8

Exactly, his criticism has "graduated" up to billionaires, millionaires are now okay. George II Apr 2019 #9

Are you sure we will see on Monday. Blue_true Apr 2019 #14

Depends upon when the toner cartridge and ream of paper gets delivered by Staples. George II Apr 2019 #15

Hopefully there won't be mechanical issues dalton99a Apr 2019 #27

Maybe he and Jane should ask Kamala how she did it so fast.(nt) ehrnst Apr 2019 #38

Last I looked there are no "I's" or "T's" in Bernard, Jane, or Sanders. George II Apr 2019 #42

BS still has almost 24 hours to go ... depending on your time zone. If we're generous SFnomad Apr 2019 #29

I have a habit of missing a day sometimes. I did it again. Blue_true Apr 2019 #67

I figure there are three options ... Before Monday ... On Monday ... Soon SFnomad Apr 2019 #69

"spent years and years bashing millionaires" melman Apr 2019 #23

Of course it never happened... but, when that's all you got, that's what you get. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #25

You and melman should really look at the OP. betsuni Apr 2019 #30

Actually... ehrnst Apr 2019 #43

Perfect example... surely, you can be a millionaire and STILL say that!! Uncle Joe was spot on!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #45

Interesting that you never hear him refer to "millionaires" being a problem anymore. ehrnst Apr 2019 #59

Never happened? How about this: George II Apr 2019 #46

Well, there is this... ehrnst Apr 2019 #41

Are you against writing books and getting paid for the book? TheFarseer Apr 2019 #11

He was apparently a millionaire before selling books. Blue_true Apr 2019 #16

So your issue is TheFarseer Apr 2019 #53

No. Blue_true Apr 2019 #66

That's partly reasonable TheFarseer Apr 2019 #71

Idk what you are specificly referring to TheFarseer Apr 2019 #52

I heard their total income in general as being something of a dealbreaker. ehrnst Apr 2019 #57

That is what I saw. The paid speeches complaint was just a smokescreen. Blue_true Apr 2019 #64

Wasn't for me TheFarseer Apr 2019 #65

True, you can't speak for everyone that I heard say that.(nt) ehrnst Apr 2019 #72

As we've clearly seen. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2019 #58

BS maximized his profits by marketing, selling, and distributing his books through Amazon. lapucelle Apr 2019 #33
