Punk da Bundo posted:there isn’t one candidate with good views on Israel , Israel should be treated and regarded like apartheid South Africa . It’s a shame, really , that people are so afraid to stand up for what is right . It's true that none of their views are particularly good, but Bernie's are by far the least-bad.

Israel is a fascist apartheid state, and it should be called out for exactly what it is saying that as a candidate would almost certainly be political suicide, but it would be nice if Gravel could get up on stage and point out EVERYBODY’S bad Israel policies (including Bernie) Majorian posted:It's true that none of their views are particularly good, but Bernie's are by far the least-bad. we’ve been settling for least bad for so long that this can is about to explode from rust .

That seems to be “least bad” as far as Israel goes , that both parties have the same level of fervent defense of Israel . Bernie is the only one who’s a serious candidate calling them out. The other candidates went to AIPAC and had some pretty gross opinions about the whole thing

Williamson seems like Trump in that Republicans wishing her to win may come to regret it later. Not that I have any strong opinions on her one way or another; I'd rather have someone with Warren's or Bernie's bonafides.Majorian posted:And yet now we have someone who genuinely is better on Israel than pretty much any major candidate we've had since 1948. That's something to get excited about. 1948 seems like a strange year to pick; especially as Israel didn't actually have much if any support from the US during the war of independence and in fact had actually more support from the USSR at the time. I'd pick 1967 or so as when US Israeli policy begins to get one sided in a US-USSR Cold War geopolitical dichotomy.

Majorian posted:And yet now we have someone who genuinely is better on Israel than pretty much any major candidate we've had since 1948. That's something to get excited about. false, if only because McGovern was too good for this damned nation. Willa Rogers posted:yah, this. I see where your'e all coming from, but "It's too hard to tax the rich" seems like a really weak critique in comparing Sanders' tax policy to Warren's, especially since you'd run into similar problems enforcing his heightened estate tax. Regardless of who's elected, there's going to need to be major revisions of the tax code and major reinvestment into the IRS.

Majorian posted:I genuinely did not know this about McGovern. Good for him! McGovern was probably out of his depth going against Nixon but from everything I've read about him he was a genuinely good man who didn't deserve what happened to him. You know what he was doing while Nixon was playing poker and pushing supplies in the South Pacific? Flying B-24s over Europe to the tune of 35 missions. Dude won the Distinguished Flying Cross for saving his bomber and his crew by making an emergency landing on a runway that should have been too short for his plane. Good pilot, good person, not even a bad politician, just too decent of a human being to run against a crooked monster like Nixon.

She’s not “worse” than Trump . she’s just effectively the same. All we have is Bernie . Not Marianne , not Kamala, Booker or Gillibrand. Warren laughed at Bernie’s speech about economics .
