Or release the transcript to a speech you gave that's fairly innocuous judging by the leaks instead of being weird and Nixonian about it.

But wasn't Bernie's tax ideas focused on making rich people and corporations pay their fair share?

Like, what she said might make sense if you assume "middle class" is people making low six-figures and maybe high 5-figures, but ultimately the vast majority of money is earned by the top 20% (and that's assuming you're unwilling to institute a wealth tax) and there's not much of a reason to need to siphon money from the lower 80%. And of course that's not considering the fact that the "middle class" would be paying higher taxes in exchange for a drastic reduction in an existing cost, resulting in lower overall costs.

I think Hillary was/is operating on the dated assumption that tax increases are inherently politically impossible.

edit: Like, at the very least, the idea of taxing the bottom 50% is intrinsically absurd.

I feel like the harm from this sort of thing is that it implies that ending DACA might be something worth consideration if it actually had positive economic implications. It basically sets the rhetorical landscape up such that in the future a person could make arguments along the lines of "_________ might be morally good, but it has negative economic implications so we either shouldn't do it or should find a 'compromise'." Like, the implication is that the net appeal is a function of morality and economic implications*.

*I mean, this is technically true, but in practice virtually all economic costs for beneficial policy could be offloaded onto the top 20% or so, and there's absolutely no reason to ever tax the bottom 50% of Americans, since they control such an absurdly tiny portion of the nation's wealth.

"A Better Job For Brian" sounds too committal, and it makes it seem like Dems are here to serve people, which is just upside down. Have you considered "Brian, Perform Your Duty For We Do Not Tolerate Failure"?

I can't decide whether the made-of-whole-cloth lie about bernie supporters yelling SPEAK ENGLISH at the first NV caucuses or the made-of-whole-cloth lie about bernie supporters throwing chairs at the NV state-party convention was my favorite.

Or maybe it was the NH "unity dinner" at which maggie hassan throwing down for hillary triggered jeers from the sanders supporters (literally in the stands, bc they couldn't afford to sit at a table) which jeers were then painted as a riot.

And bc Huertas, Boxer and Hassan were instrumental at all three gatherings, of course the non-existent riots, racism, and chair-throwing were then all painted as violence against women.

Well I mean they did call Boxer a c*** at NV

I think it's not so much Hamilton itself as the reaction to Hamilton by liberals/the media. The completely ridiculous amount of gushing praise towards Hamilton was downright surreal at times.

Not that Hamilton doesn't have its own problems, like the frankly bizarre use of minority performers to portray people who were pretty terrible (even if they may have been better than some of their contemporary peers).

I truly don't understand why mods aren't tougher on old Zegermans

All he does is troll. I got a month+ probe for telling ZDR that my opinion was that the ACA wasn't a real solution.

He just trolls all day, multiple threads, and only gets a sixer here and there.

He really sucks and is a really toxic poster, way more than anyone in any CSPAM threads.

I don't get it :shrug:

au contraire the government was formed by wealthy interests prior to socialism and communism ever being a thing
this has no bearing on there having been a large socialist movement in the united states

quote:

what exactly are the interests of the voters anyway? if the voter has been conditioned since birth to vote in the interests of others, is that really a bad thing?
voters are being deceived to think they are voting in their interest when they are not. americans don't actually want to ship all their jobs overseas or receive less and less of the economic pie, but they keep voting for the two parties who keep pushing policies that do exactly that
