Eh, Bernie has his fair share of whacko positions.

Although Ronnie probably takes the cake there. AFAIK, he's also been screaming about hyperinflation since as far back as the 80s. Rand Paul isn't much better either, and I have no idea how people can tolerate the guy. Both Pauls are fucking nuts.

Didn't you just say I wouldn't catch you talking about things you don't know about? In that case, please demonstrate your understanding of economics to me. . .

Because I'll wager I can demonstrate socialism is a bad idea to a higher degree than you can demonstrate it as a good idea.

Well, no I didn't. But given your routine lack of nuance I can see how you'd think of capitalism as "one way" and socialism as "another". Although I could see how a single nuanced way could empirically be the "best" way of running a country.

But yeah, the evidence we have, both theoretical and empirical, is quite strongly against socialism as a workable economic structure. Hell, Sanders isn't even a socialist. All I see him saying is "I'll raise taxes on the rich and stop outsourcing jobs"; nothing about a labour-run economy. The guy's just a populist who's adopted an ill-fitting label.

You seem to not understand that being "different" doesn't mean "qualitatively equal".

Challenger's probably pretty close to you politically, to be honest. (No, you aren't a socialist).

He just doesn't like you because you make pretty poor arguments.

Maybe I like the shit he supports and I trust him to carry those positions into the white house, unlike other candidates who change their positions when its popular

I genuinely don't care what Challenger has to say about anything, whether he agrees with me or not.

i don't see anything wrong with that, considering that if he were to adopt heavy socialist policy into his platform, and reform the entire economy, he's not gonna win much support at all

it would be like if i were to run and started implementing anti-natalist policy, like, "a bill to make illegal all methods of procreation"--it would be stupid

i'd have to take baby steps

Sure, but I've seen zero evidence which suggests Sanders is actually a socialist. He's more like a social democrat.

In fairness to Bernie, Ron Paul was pretty corrupt actually.

good luck differentiating it for the media and general public. the GOP has run a great campaign against the word 'socialism' to the point where people are afraid of it in all of its forms.

You cry about bigotry all day, but you're a racist yourself.
oh right, i forgot that acknowledging that racism is a thing makes me racist.

that's some sound fucking logic right there.
