I am tired of the brutal "winners and losers" type capitalist system in America

[AZ Progressive]

That makes capitalism into a game of "winners" and "losers", and that dehumanizes the "losers" and sees them as necessary collateral damage in order to enrich the 1% "winners". Anyone, rich and poor, can ultimately be tragic victims of this system, and even for anyone who hasn't lost in it, it can pretty much feel like wage slavery. Bernie is the only person out there that truly believes there needs to be change to this brutal economic system, and who's policy proposals reflect that.

And that is largely why I'm voting for Bernie. We need change, dammit!

1. When We Stand Together - No Citizen Need Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

We can break the backs of the 1% by standing firm against their tyranny.

2. I saw it called Laissez-faire Cannibalism recently

The most apt description I've even seen.

3. Indeed....

[AZ Progressive]

4. It rewards the savage and punishes the nice

Society will eventually tear itself apart if nothing is done! You already see it with trust in society diminishing and dysfunction being a result!

[Half-Century Man]

7. This social malaise of hopelessness and despair, as much as an over abundance of

poorly regulated gun owners thinking they are some sort of exalted militia, is responsible for most of the mass shootings.

People with a firm grasp of who they are and a reliable set of circumstances don't shoot up the joint.

5. And just like a lottery, 99% lose, and 1% win. It is time to change how we distribute income.

6. There are two kinds of people...

Those who think everything is a dichotomy, and those who don't.


As everybody knows, there are two sides to every story.

8. That Type of System is the Real Loser n/t

10. The People Have Been Losing Steadily Since Reagan

Told us "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people" was the problem. In other words of course.

We all knew what he meant.

All problems were caused by welfare queens driving Cadillacs.

We needed to give the wealthy huge tax breaks, and wealth would trickle down to us all.

ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. winners and losers make for strange bedfellows (as the saying says)

This system is personified by the political campaign of Donald Trump. The man the GOP will rally behind if he gets the nomination. Tragically, the Jack assess known as the Democratic Party will likely splinter come November. Too many Dems are married to American Capitalism, losers and all.

12. The problem is the losers think they are winners or will win later. nt

13. and the demand for continued growth

steady-state economics - sustainable

[Luminous Animal]

14. It is my firm belief that much of our mental health problems that result in homelessness

is that some people just cannot play the game.

They just simply do not have the capacity to successfully survive the ruthlessness of it.

15. They Don't Have The

Killer instinct.

Needed for success!

This is how it's done.

Kill million by starvation, but profit immensely!

17. Are you stating that people with mental problems, which in turn cause homelessness,

don't know, or cannot play the game? Is that what you mean? The game of life?

If they don't have the capacity to survive, then it's our duty to protect them and help them survive. It's just common decency and empathy to protect those that are to weak to protect themselves.

That's why we need single payer healthcare, which includes mental health healthcare, and the only candidate willing to make it a reality is none other than, well, you know.

Feel The Bern!

16. Bernie Sanders For President.

Because, fuck it!
