If Sanders wins the presidency he will have a congress and senate, both parties, bought off by ...

RoboGraham comments on Jan 20, 2020:

For Sanders to win the election, he will have to beat the DNC, The corporations and billionaires, and Trump. If he is able to overcome those obstacles, it will only be because of a massive shift in political preferences of a populace which is deeply dissatisfied with the establishment and the staus quo. A movement with enough political momentum to get a democratic socialist elected in America will be a powerful force and difficult to resist. How does he get meaningful legislation passed? The same way he becomes president. By consistently pointing out the ways in which wall street and corporations are benefiting at the expense of working people. By holding rallies in the states and districts of Congressional holdouts and hammering the topics that effect people's lives like wealth inequality, the dysfunctional healthcare system, education debt, raising the minimum wage, making drug prices affordable, challenging the military industrial complex, ending the the constant wars, affordable housing, infrastructure and public transportation, getting money out of politics, and all the other practical issues that Bernie is always going on about. These policies are widely popular and with him using the presidency as a very far reaching platform to speak from, people will get energized and the legislators will be pressured by their constituents. Let me ask you this, If the congress and both parties are bought off by corporations and wall street, how will putting in place a centrist president who is also bought off by corporations and wall street going to help anything? That is a guarantee that nothing good will get done but probably bad stuff will continue right on. At least with a president on the side of the people, we have the massively powerful presidential veto. And there actually is much a president can do without the support of congress. You are so totally right that we desperately need change. With Sanders as president, at least there is some chance of it happening.

Do you understand or know what Neoliberalism is? I have shared info about it before. [evonomics.com]

RoboGraham comments on Jan 16, 2020:

My understanding of Neo-liberalism is that it is very similar to classical liberalism but with a very important difference. Classical liberals believe in total laissez faire capitalism. Neoliberals on the other hand have realized that government does actually play an important role in the economy. After the great depression, the economy was injected with public money to jump start it back to life. The neoliberals realized that this can be very useful because it mitigates their losses during the bust periods of the boom-bust cycle that is inevitable in capitalism. So they are actually in favor of socialism in the form of government bailouts. They also support government intervention in the form of subsidies for corporations. Finally, unlike the classical liberals, they support a meager social safety net for the poor because it allows them to pay their employees less and provide fewer benefits to them. They don't need to worry that their poorly paid employees may not work as effectively if they are starving and sick because the government will provide food supplements and healthcare to those living in poverty. The neoliberals have mastered the art of using government to provide socialism for the elites and rugged individualism for the rest of us.

RoboGraham comments on Dec 30, 2019:

Some very good points. The waters are so muddied when discussing socialism that it can feel useless. Many think that socialism and communism are two words for the same system. The way I see it, socialism is when all workers have representation and a significant amount of participation in the determination of major decisions in the work place. The society pools it's resources for the advancement of all members. "Your success is on you. Your misfortune is on everyone." I like the way you put that. And finally, the government plays a role in large scale economic planning. Big economic decisions that have significant effects on society are made by democratically elected representatives rather than leaving those choices to the market. I favor the Nordic brand of "socialism." I think you are correct that they aren't truly socialist but their societies do have socialistic elements. They pools their resources for the betterment of all their citizens and they have very strong unions giving their workers a lot of say in how things are run. But, ultimately, it is the free market that runs their economies. A very regulated free market but it is market based at it's core so not socialism. I think the best way to describe it is Keynesian. I wish people would stop using the word socialism to describe societies that are organized in this social democratic fashion. It's not really accurate and more importantly, socialism has become a taboo word so it does no good to attach this word to it with all of it's negative connotations that many people still have for it.

He wins with 3 million fewer votes than the other candidate. He donates his salary knowing that he will make a killing violating the emoluments clause. He cuts taxes for the wealthy increasing the national deficit to preposterous levels and removes regulations allowing corporations to trash the environment. He starts a trade war which forces Americans to pay taxes, excuse me tariffs, on imported goods and limits what can be exported causing hardship for midwestern farmers so intense that they require bailouts costing billions. The economy soars moderately. GDP increases at about the same rate as it did during the Obama era but has nothing on the soaring it did during the 50s and 60s when taxes were much higher. His immigration policies end up putting children in cages at the border. He wastes tremendous amounts of money building a useless fence and when Congress refuses to give him more he takes funds from defense. He removes supplemental nutrition funding causing millions of struggling people to go hungry. His relentless attempts to destroy the ACA cause millions to lose access to healthcare. He pardons war criminals and vetoes legislation that would have put a stop to the selling of weapons to a backward nation currently involved in genocide. His education secretary attempt to destroy the public school system and his HUD secretary is doing the same with subsidized housing. And the list continues as we head into the next election. Thanks to his disregard of the law, he is investigated. He obstructs the investigation and is eventually impeached but his corrupt republican allies in the Senate put party over country and refuse to hold a fair trial. He will surely be remembered by history as one of the most despicable presidents and if he were a democrat, he would still be seen as the worst.

All throughout history, whenever something bad happened, a famine, a plague, an earthquake... people would assume that it happened because god was displeased. So they would search for the reason that god became upset and inevitably, they would find scapegoats. Those who worshiped differently, incorrectly, or not at all would get the blame. They would assume that these religiously challenged people were the ones who caused gods anger and so they would be purged and repressed. They are threatened by us because they perceive us arrogant sinners who are purposefully provoking gods anger and sometimes his retribution destroys not just the sinners that brought it about but whole communities including pious bystanders who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. So to avoid this, they want to convert everyone and force us all to live by the dogmatic rules of their religion. It's messed up but god works in mysterious ways, they say.

The Gregorian calender is just an updated version of the Julian calender. The first day of the year being set on January 1st has nothing to do with christianity. It's because the Romans decided to place the first day of the year on the day that the new Consuls took office for the year which happened to be on January 1st. They kept track of the years not by numbers but by the names of the Consuls for each year so it made a lot of sense to have the year start on the day the Consuls took power. Before the Gregorian calender came along, christian kingdoms typically placed new years day on important days in the christian religion such as December 25th. After adopting the Gregorian calender, they put it on January 1st because that's how it was on the Julian calender and the Gregorian calender is just a slightly more accurate version of the Julian. So the Gregorian calender actually took the religious significance out of new years day.

Yes and the democrats just recently approved Trump's budget increasing the military budget by billions more and creating a space force. Both parties are in on it. Both parties are putting the wants of the military industrial complex over the needs of the people.

He told me he's a psychopath.

You should have said something like "No actually tonight you'll be the victim, I'm thirsty." and then flashed him your fangs.

Here goes nothing.

I don't recall communalism as ever having been a major issue. So were you protesting something and someone claimed to know all about it?
