A lot going on here but I mostly want to know why a math teacher is grading a philosophy paper
- because DeVos is cutting funding so much for public school, teachers are forced to teach dual subjects, all at the expense of the education's quality, of coursemonospaced
- I knew it wasn't Ben Garrison because none of the three people, nor the chalkboard, were labeled.allthethings
- oh boo hoo, the poor right, that, you know... are running the whole god damned world.inteliboy
- it's amazing how the right make an enemy of teachers, journalists, greenies, poor people, scientists and immigrants.inteliboy

Liberals need to stop attacking MAGA people and calling them stupid.
They just need to convince everyone how much of a doofus Trump really is.
- You'd have a better chance of convincing Christians the pope is Muslim.DRIFTMONKEY
- The majority of the U.S.A. already does (and that isn't counting the people that thought he was an idiot but still voted for him).wordssssss
- ^ yup, the majority already know that he's an idiot.Gnash

Netanyahu on the way out - or consolidating his axis of evil with Trump?
Neck and neck as the results come in in Israel.

46th US President - Pete Buttigieg 2020
(just my prediction; bookmarking this post so I can come back to it for a told-you-so)
- Hats off to you, bold prediction.robotron3k
- "Mayor Pete". Saw him on Bill Maher; cool dude AND only 37.ideaist
- he doesn't have enough intersection points for the new dems, and too gay for the old dems.Gnash
- he's in dem purgatoryGnash
- Bidengieg 2020tank02
- Mayor Pete is a meme waiting to happen...robotron3k
- "too gay for the old dems." what do you mean, exactly?monospaced
- My favorite of the bunch. I only worry the left of the party will crowd him out. Dude is sharp as a fucking razor and seems pretty relatable.mandomafioso
- His age concerns me. He is 37, the youngest pres to date is 42. Its a thing. He better come hard with policy, and not trot out platitudes like Beto.BonSeff
- I don't see his age as being an issue, but you're right about policy. I'm just assuming his policies would be good based on general character. but who knowsGnash
- @mono, meaning just that he is gay. I think they (old dems) talk the game, but they won't actually walk it.Gnash
- @Gnash his policies are not just based on general character; he's been a mayor for 7 years. He's not just words. It's incredible how experienced he is!Krassy
- Gnash is right Dems are moody voters, but will this fly for inauguration? https://static01.nyt…robotron3k
- @krassy, I'm just talking about my own lack of knowledge about him, he may well have policies laid out somewhere. I've only seen some interviews.Gnash
- @robotron3k in 2019? not an issue. LOLKrassy
- Dems might try to sabotage him (like they did with Bernie) but the masses will get behind him and once there's momentum, he'll be unstoppable.Krassy
- The guy is so sharp, composed, eloquent, and calm! He'll destroy the debates!Krassy
- He's "fresh faced", he's young, going up against an ego maniac with 20 years of media experience and crusty as fuckBonSeff
- i dunno man, godspeed buttigieg.BonSeff
- Oh jeez... The B-Team is gonna fight it out!!! Biden, Bernie, Beto, and Buttigieg!robotron3k
- Biden and Beto will drop outKrassy

Socialist Bernie is a millionaire?
- it was by accidentGnash
- he wrote a book that sold at least a million copies ... does that mean he should give all that money away to the poor?monospaced
- https://media0.giphy…PonyBoy
- yeah, I don't really see how writing a book and selling copies is being greedy, but okay :)monospaced
- At most it's "off brand" for Sanders. At least he's transparent about it and is releasing 15 years of tax returns on Monday.monospaced
- but... but... does he really need all that money, mono? 2 Mill could feed a lot of those poor people he's fighting for. (I hope you're detecting my sarcasm) ;)PonyBoy
- I just can't unsee Larry David
https://www.youtube.…Gnash - I don't understand this as a criticism. Of course he's a millionaire. He's been serving in the house + senate since 1990 earning a yearly salary, so what?T-Dawg
- That somehow makes his consistent policy views irrelevant?T-Dawg
- If he pays his taxes, he's doing his part, is he not?T-Dawg
- He's doing his part as a capitalist for sure... but as far as socialism goes he's failing miserably. Does he really need 3 houses?PonyBoy
- Except he's a social democrat? (not a socialist), but somehow people keep confusing that for the same thing.T-Dawg
- yes yes... that new phrase / restyling of the word 'socialist' to 'social democrat' is fooling everyone. ;)PonyBoy
- the policies of a social dems very much mimic that of socialism... of course it's not 100% the same thing but the tone / desire is therePonyBoy
- all it would take is a quick google on your part to learn there is a huge difference, but if you want to drink the kool-aid, then it's your choice.T-Dawg
- I know the difference in definition, T—all it takes is a quick look at policies/to listen to the candidates to understand it's nothing more than a play on wordsPonyBoy
- And to be clear - you can't do what Bern, AOC etc want to do w/out taxing the shit out of the middle class... creating perfect mediocrity / depression for allPonyBoy
- Anyway... we can toy w/semantics all day long. Truth is Bernie's a bit of a hypocrite if he's taking advantage of capitalism—again—doe... he really need 3 houses?PonyBoy
- *does he really need 3 houses?PonyBoy
- I don't see how wanting to adopt policies like other countries who are capitalist, market economies (den., swe etc.), is somehow a play on words for socialism.T-Dawg
- Owning three houses is irrelevant, Bernie is a supporter of capitalism. There's already a huge bunch of welfare in the US, going to corporations.T-Dawg
- Social democracy wants that money to go to the population, instead of the multinational corporation.T-Dawg
- The multinational corporations argue that they should keep that money, and that it will 'trickle down'.T-Dawg
- agree with ponyboy or be argued with ad nauseum. how lameimbecile
- you make it seem as if I'm the only one who engages in a conversation here, imbecile...PonyBoy
- T-Dawg... I'm not against trying any of these policies on a State level. Those Nordic countries are tiny in population compared to the States...PonyBoy
- ... and aren't nearly as diverse in terms of culture / race which is a factor over here. Also—Nordic middle class pays more in taxes—we will have to do...PonyBoy
- ... the same. Your average man on the street here in the States has it in mind that they're going to get 'free' things under Bern and have no clue they're...PonyBoy
- ... up for a tax hike to pay for their 'free' stuff.PonyBoy
- hehe it's fun to engage a little. I probably agree with PonyBoy on lots of issues, but I recognized a bit of media BS in the original post subject.T-Dawg
- I love getting into conversation here... always have... just hate when it gets bitter and folks get foul w/each other (something I'm guilty of). <3PonyBoy
- I think we'll leave it here then! It's been constructive but we've already gone off track and lord knows we don't need another 93 comment politics post.T-Dawg
- I appreciate the engagement and conversation :)T-Dawg
- :)PonyBoy
- Get a room!
Jk this was a nice endingbezoar - I'm just curious to see his tax returns so I can see how much of his capitalist money he wants to take from others has he given to the "needy".Boz
- I'm expecting about 70% since he wants to take that from everyone else.Boz
- wow, a civil discussion in the comments section of the politics thread? this must be a first! bravo!Krassy
- Box you show a surprising lack of understanding of how the tax system actually works. Or else you’re just being facetious.monospaced
- Bernie's desired tax system isn't in play, mono... of course he's being facetious (not that Boz(x) needs my help here)PonyBoy
- lol you must have really misunderstood me if you thought I was stupid enough to think a senators tax concept is actually in play ffsmonospaced
- why would you say boz lacked understanding of our tax system when he was talking about Bernie's desired (not real) tax system? Read, mono... you look silly :)PonyBoy
- He was talking about his actual taxes, and if they would reveal how much he's donated. That's not how it works exactly, but okay, if you want to make things upmonospaced
- lol ... "you look silly."monospaced
- even sillier now... keep going though :)PonyBoy
- the only thing silly here is thinking he should give away all his moneymonospaced
- he's running again so that he can write another best seller that will make him even richer :pKrassy
