This could be what finally brings Hillary down

[Tank]

It's very telling that Trump is currently beating her in all head-to-head polls right now, even with her heartfelt apology.

[Blarg]

At this point I think a Miguel's combo burrito would beat Hillary in the polls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Angelswin.

The DNC has to be shitting its collective pants(suits) right about now.  They had all their eggs in the Hillary basket and it looks like none of those eggs will hatch.  She's a lousy candidate but they'll still rally around her once Bernie fades, and hope that everyone else will too.  

[Spirit]

It's a sad commentary on the DNC.  Bernie is one of the few politicians who I actually believe is in it to help others.  Whether or not you agree with his policies and politics, I don't think he's in it for himself.

I'm a Republican, but I don't think it's bias to point out that the Dem field is made up of a liar who's accomplished nothing (Clinton), an old commie (Sanders vacayed in the Soviet Union), and possibly the dumbest person in any room and quite possibly even in the Angels dugout when Hamilton was on the team (Biden). 

 

They have a credible alternative in Webb, but he might not be down with dudes using chick bathrooms or some other disqualifier.

How can you call anyone else dumb when you don't know the difference between bias and biased?

Also, I know a few people who have vacationed in Russia. None of them are commies. Nice to see you're stuck in the 80s, politically.

My dad is one of the most right winged people I know, and he's been to Russia about 30 times in the last 25 years. 

[Adam]

Did he name names?

[Spirit]

He sang like a canary.

I think Juan must be McCarthy reincarnated.

Communist.

so after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

[Spirit]

Yes.  He worked for an agency that helped people adopt children out of Russian orphanages.

He told not to mention the high altitude fly by.

If you're going to correct grammar, you better know what you're talking about or you'll end up being twice as embarrassed as you intended the other person to be.

Bias is a noun. I was saying that bias, the idea, a noun, is not causing my opinion. It's like saying, "I don't think it's anger..."

I think Sanders went because he admired communism,not to help orphans. He would probably think your dad was a fascist oppressor.

Nice to see you stuck in the 1870s.

Juan, do you understand the difference between communism and socialism?

Upon further review it could go either way, so I will cop to being half-wrong.  If you put "biased" in place of "bias" it works because of the tense, but indeed "bias" is also correct.  I concede that in this instance, you are correct.

Nice to know you're not just a psychic, but that your psychic powers defy time.  

[Glen]

How is what I said indicative of the 1870s?  As for you and your constant comments about communists and Marxists, that's definitely circa 1980s and before.  You can barely go one post without mentioning some cold war relic of thought.

[nate]

Yes.  He worked for an agency that helped people adopt children out of Russian orphanages.  

 

I am surprised he was around that many Soviets and he didn't catch Communism.

[juansavage1]

Juan, do you understand the difference between communism and socialism?

There's no official difference. Early communists called themselves socialists. Unofficially, socialism is what people called themselves to distinguish themselves from Soviets and, earlier, atheists and anarchists, not because of a difference in economic philosophy, but in methods, maybe, and in things not relating to economics, like religion. 

 

What you're trying to say, I'm guessing from experience, is that socialism is less absolute than communism i.e., that it will allow some ownership of property and not mandate atheism, etc. It could be democratic. Yours is a popular misunderstanding that comes about from lack of historical knowledge. 

 

Therefore, communism and socialism are the same philosophically when it comes to property. Marxist ideas have since transferred to sex and race where most of the energy in wealthy countries is.

I think you're clumsily looking for some insult and think you've found it by saying my ideas are from the 80s. Such a charge requires no defense because it's meaningless. That's like saying your idea that people should get a minimum wage is from the 1870s where the idea originated.

Yeah.  Like you, I have no idea why Sanders went either.
