The "state" has become indistinguishable from the "rich" and visa versa.
Bernie Sanders "looks OK" but believes in baby murder, etc

I agree.
The real problem in America is not stupidity, it's willful ignorance, which is the result of cowardice, not stupidity. We have become a nation of cowards: so frightened of our own fragile egos that we can't admit to our own ignorance, and then bother to DO SOMETHING about it. So instead we just pretend we already know everyone, and then blame everyone else for the bad results of our own willful ignorance.
We have become unteachable, as a people, and that's a very bad state for any nation to be in.

A lot of people simply don't know any better. Not because they're stupid, not because they're being willfully ignorant. They haven't been been exposed to the right situations or circumstances that they could learn from, or people who could open windows into a whole new world of thinking.
Sanders is a Democratic socialist . This means that he believes in a capitalist economic system, but with strict government control over the economy . He is NOT a communist , and anyone who thinks he is is either deluded, ignorant or a liar .
Democratic socialism is what has made the countries of Europe prosper so well , and Sanders thinks
America should adopt the same principles . Whether this is feasible is open to debate .
Democratic socialism is totally unlike communism, where the government controls the entire economy and there is no private enterprise ,no private businesses or corporations and there is no stock market , as this is anathema to strict communists , who are pretty much non-existent today .
Sanders is pro-choice, not "pro-abortion". He is rightly opposed to government-ordered
compulsory childbirth for women who are pregnant, as this never works anyway .

Curiosity takes SOME courage. We have to be willing to recognize that there is much we don't know, and that it would be good for us to learn about. But instead, we seem to have fallen into this idea that we know it all, already. And anyone who disagrees with us is, therefor, lying. This is WILLFUL ignorance. This is deliberate ignorance. And I believe it's just the result of basic cowardice. We simply don't want to admit to ourselves that we know so little about so much.
We glorify ignorance in this country more now than we have at anytime in it's history. We're proud of our ignorance to the point of telling ourselves that an education is the pathway to foolishness, and even to immorality.
This isn't an 'accident'. It's the result of deliberate and persistent cultural manipulation by people who have their own agendas in mind.

1. Some people should be taxed at 90%.
2. If it's a legitimate tax, then it's not theft or stealing.
Nuff said.
This is problematic.

why shouldn't bill gates or warren buffet be taxed at 90% on earnings over, say, $5 million?
that's the way we used to do it :idunno:

Yes. This was common practice from Roosevelt on, I think.
Also, I'd set the bar a bit lower. 90% on anything over $500,000.

A few things Bernie is for.
Allow millions (millions) of Mexicans and Muslims into the country.
Remove from public semi-automatic rifles.
The decision about abortion is for a woman and her doctor.
Supports same sex.
How do you take away semi-automatic rifles from the public. Answer: You start a dictatorship.

That's ridiculous. The government has no right to anyones income, 40% is already a ridiculous number.

Since, apparently, you have no idea why irony is, nor any idea what you're trying to imply,I'm not even going to state the irony here.
Why are so many people stupid about the word 'irony'? Apparently, some people just never grasped 'irony' in it's simplicity, and think it's some complicated thing.
The IRONY is that people sitting here complaining about poor ol' Bernie being allegedly slandered are professional slanders through and through to their core, and they did it with Trump so much that people who didn't realize it before caught on to it.
And that's why their getting punched out at rallies

Lies are lies, and slander is slander. The fact that you think someone else has lied or slandered someone has nothing at all to do with the fact that you are doing it.Why are so many people stupid about the word 'irony'?

Nothing at all.
But like a child who has no excuse for his bad behavior, your mind immediately looks to shift the blame onto someone else; preferably onto the person who has recognized your lies and slander and called you out on them.
"Irony" has nothing to do with it. All that's going on here is you trying to squirm out from under the weight of your own dishonesty, by practicing yet more deceit.
You all would deny communism existed if you could, and have demonstrated your own nearsightedness and inability to see things for what they are.
That is what libs do.
Bernie is a socialist pretty much by his own admission, if anybody is really being dishonest it's you all. His plan for the country is a straight up flop right into all of it. His main supporters are college socialists.
But go cry in your hypocrisy, seriously. It's the splitting image of what you all are being seen as now.
