Bernie Sanders: I Know Where I Came From. Does President Trump?

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

I am running for president because we must defeat Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in the modern history of our country. But, if we are to defeat Mr. Trump, we must do more than focus on his personality and reactionary policies.

We must understand that unfettered capitalism and the greed of corporate America are destroying the moral and economic fabric of this country, deepening the very anxieties that Mr. Trump appealed to in 2016. The simple truth is that big money interests are out of control, and we need a president who will stand up to them.

Back in 1944, in his State of the Union speech, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt reminded the nation that economic security is a human right, and that people cannot be truly free if they have to struggle every day for their basic needs. I agree.

We must change the current culture of unfettered capitalism in which billionaires have control over our economic and political life. We need to revitalize American democracy and create a government and economy that works for all.

1. Wise words from a wise candidate, who has the vision and judgment to lead us to the Promised Land!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Uncle Joe]

2. ...

[TexasTowelie]

3. The same words that we have heard from Bernie for awhile.

At some point the message is no longer persuasive.

[Uncle Joe]

4. That's illogical, you

were "persuaded" to post here.

[TexasTowelie]

5. But was I persuaded to vote for Bernie is the crucial metric

and I wasn't.

[Uncle Joe]

6. So if it came down to Bernie and Trump? n/t

[TexasTowelie]

7. So you decided to introduce a strawman?

My preference in the primaries is clearly noted.

[Uncle Joe]

8. You didn't say primaries, you just said vote for Bernie. n/t

[TexasTowelie]

9. LOL.

It's nice to know that I kept you hanging for every word.

Anything else happening this Sunday evening?

[ehrnst]

16. Yep. (nt)

[LanternWaste]

11. Pretending that 'persuasion' and 'responding' are the same things is illogical.

You conflate words and meaning simply to better suit your agenda. Not a very rational approach.

10. I'm sticking with Bernie cause he is sticking with the program.

On Target, straight shooting at the problem which is way beyond Trump and the current group of GOP talking heads.

Do I love Elizabeth Warren too? Yes as she also does not hold back, thinking the American people are too weak kneed to hear the truth. Between the two, I believe the Democrats will put up a real progressive liberal to challenge Trump in 2020.

[Uncle Joe]

12. I feel the same way rgbecker.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. Bernie & Elizabeth... between the two?? Why not both?!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[rgbecker]

14. Count me in!

I hope they work a deal to keep the Party from going with the wishy-washy.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

15. That's ALWAYS been my hope!! I'd take those two in a heartbeat... in ANY order!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!
