Noam Chomsky endorses Bernie Sanders for President

[Playinghardball]

Noam Chomsky explains why Bernie Sanders is the only choice for President and how Hillary Clinton is just another part of the establishment to keep Americans down. Calls Republicans "off the chart Right wing" and explains how all politics in the USA have shifted to the right. Amazing man.

1. Ask him what will he do if Hillary is the nominee

[jalan48]

2. Invest in Monsanto, Wal Mart, Goldman Sachs?

[randys1]

3. And vote for Hillary.

[Senator Tankerbell]

11. Chomsky would be more likely to vote for Jill Stein than Hillary.

Unless it looks like Massachusetts will be close. Which is unlikely. He has said that he believes in strategic voting. Progressives in swing states should vote Democratic but in solid blue states they should vote their conscience.

[randys1]

12. Same thing then. So what you are saying so others can hear it is he would

insist you vote for whoever the Dem is if it means something.

Say that again and again please.

[Senator Tankerbell]

13. Yes, in the general.

I think most people already understand the concept of the lesser of two evils. That's a recipe for low turnout though.

[randys1]

14. Not in the population at large, unlike the meme here, many OUT THERE are excited to

elect the first Woman president.

You would not know that here, but given she is not a con, yes, much excitement.

[Senator Tankerbell]

16. That may be true

But I have not seen that enthusiasm reflected in polling so far. It is probably too early to tell either way.

[randys1]

18. Wait what? What polling shows you how many are going to vote?

Polls show what percentage of those polled, etc.

What are you talking about?

[Senator Tankerbell]

20. If you read the full results of some polls

You can see how people to respond to questions about how excited they are to vote for particular candidates. What they think about the personal qualities of candidates. That sort of thing. You can get an idea of turnout from that kind of information. Other things like how many people are showing up to events, volunteering, and contributing money is also informative. But like I said, it's really too early to predict what is going to happen with any certainty.

4. 'You will vote the way we want you to.....

And you will like it.'

[randys1]

5. Ahh, the loyalty oath game. My loyalty is to preventing rightwing men from killing Women

in back alleys, and I will fight real hard over that.

real hard

[daleanime]

6. Yes, yes, I know....

Bernie is a sexist. You make it so easy not to listen to anything you say. Have a lovely evening.

[Ed Suspicious]

7. +1000

[Android3.14]

15. "Hillary Clinton is just another part of the establishment to keep Americans down"

One of the greatest thinkers of our time said the candidate you support is just going to keep Americans down.

FYI.

[randys1]

17. You fail yet again, I am a Bernie Supporter, but I can see why you didnt know that

As I am busy making sure the cons dont take the WH, you or others seem busy just making sure Hillary doesnt take the WH

[Android3.14]

24. Oh, we know your stripe

[blackspade]

8. THAT is a stellar endorsment!

[meir34]

9. Chomsky's endorsement kiss of death

Kiss of death. Recall he supported Nader as well.

[reformist2]

23. Umm, say what? Noam's endorsement is worth 100 beltway blowhards.

[Live and Learn]

25. Yeah, that is what killed the Nader campaign.

[Enthusiast]

10. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[Live and Learn]

19. Best endorsement ever IMHO. nt

[LiberalElite]

21. I'm not sure this

helps Bernie one way or another. I would be the rent that, the vast majority of Americans never heard of Chomsky. If anyone thought Bernie had a recognition problem, IMO Bernie is a fkg Kardashian by comparison.

[arcane1]

22. We're going to need a bigger bus. It's getting crowded under there n/t

[jwirr]

26. K&R Wonderful.

[WillyT]

27. Most Excellent !!! - K & R !!!

[Babel_17]

28. Oh boy, a disturbance in the force is being felt by many Chomsky fans

He's often a great read and he puts a lot into his writing.

[markpkessinger]

29. It's s great interview, and I support Sanders, but . . .

. . . calling it an "endorsement" of Bernie Sanders is a stretch.
