"It is the most important meal of the day".

Does that mean Bernie and Colossus have the same political beliefs?

"The ADA is right!," The Vermont Senator is quoted as saying.

appearances and apparently met backstage. Hardly like someone pandering.

I think it is just always good for one's coolness factor.

cool to many. That Comey picture was from the Colbert show. They just happened to be there at the same time. Not an equal analogy at all.

he was down with the rap thing, as the post you responded to said about the OP. It was a coincidental meeting.

Was that just a Colbert joke or what?

Supposedly there was only one album made.....,,

In any event, Comey was not pandering, so the analogies are not equal.

is talking about an American policy? This is a fight for hearts and minds that kind of should revolve around issues. He didn't say "Cardi B is down with S O C..." or some out-of-touch pandering bullshit. So...what's your beef?

People who are amping this on Twitter and FB attacked Bey for supporting HRC.

what she said about social security, and that being a policy statement, and not a music statement, seems to me like more his bailiwick.

reforms will solve all our problems...(sarcasm).

of sticks before you knock it down, Demsrule...

at any point, that we just need a few economic reforms. In fact, quite the opposite. It is that part of your statement in particular that I find problematic. Simply reinforcing a popularly affirmed mischaracterization by an echo chamber of folks here because it plays well to each other is something I wish we would engage in less.

of president if elected...but I think from his previous comments and his willingness to endorse both Mello and Perriello he would not promote social justice. This is an aside but I also don't like his ideas on Wall Street. It would surely send Wall Street to China...we lose many jobs and the prestige of being the financial center of the world. I don't worry about Sen. Sanders based on personal animus (except when he attacks Democrats) but I have serious concerns about some of the stuff he advocates and also whether he could win a general. I don't think he would. Whoever is the Democratic nominee has my support of course.

question to debate, although, I am certainly at odds with your perspective. The overused and problematic argument that we have to race to the bottom in order to compete is destructive not just to our living wages but to the planet. There's no way our companies aren't making enough profit to actually do this in a better, more just, way. If that weren't the case then why would so much wealth be being funneled to the top? We'd see a much less regressive situation. If you think this would cause more outsourcing or cede ground to countries that are willing to be less scrupulous, well that's the point of tariffs. America is still the number 1 buying power in the world. You apply regulation and standards related tariffs and demand that countries/businesses that want a share of your market adhere to them.

If you think countries, say Europe,( many of said countries have more upward mobility than us and have a better safety net), would instead do business with China for the cheaper option, first I question that, but second, China is only powerful enough to dictate this because of our business practices with them over the last few decades. We let our companies outsource without any repercussions to their bottom line. We didn't regulate the labor or environmental conditions that resulted in those products flooding our markets.

I'm not for protectionism that makes us the land of opportunity and excludes third-world nations from catching up to us, but I am absolutely against allowing our industries to repress our wages through exploitation. That China has become a super-power has come at a huge cost to its people, its air, its land, its future and we helped that happen. So again, if the excuse to not do the right thing is that we might lose for doing the right thing, well, we set that table, and we all lose by playing the game that way.

that is not what he is advocating. Also, you need a manufacturing plan...as Trump's tariffs show...you have to be careful and have a plan. I am for tariffs. I would also like mark to market accounting implemented on all publicly traded companies. I would also like commercial and FDIC banks separated . The taxpayer should not be on the hook for commercial bank failures. I want to see capital gains treated the same as wages every time a stock is sold. I would also like to see a tax on transaction... I don't want to see Wall Street destroyed. The reason I am for tariffs (not Trump's tariffs of course) is you cannot expect our businesses to compete with the bowl of rice nations...we are not bringing their standard of living up but destroying ours... It is particularly bad in the Mid West which cost Democrats the election. China uses slave labor as do other countries. The TPP allowed slave countries to participate which is one of the reasons I opposed it. Time to protect our manufacturing and get involved with modern ideas like solar power and wind. Also, retail is the lowest profit point of the manufacturing chain which is why China is full of cash and using it to improve their country's infrastructure. It makes me sick to see China making bank while our people are out of good jobs...sure here in Ohio, most have jobs but many are shitty jobs which is one of the reasons some took a chance on Trump.
Trump's tariff have led to thousands of Lordstown GM jobs going away as the second shift is now laid off...it raised the price of the car.

agreement with you that Trump's Tariffs are implemented for the wrong reasons, benefitting the wrong people, and at that, executed poorly.

Wall Street down not introduce regulation...now maybe I misunderstood...will go back and read some...only for your JCanete though!

It's why most of us PoC don't care much for populism, because we know that underlying it are xenophobic and racist sentiments.

Lots of jobs went to places like Ireland, yet you hear little about that from left-populists, many of whom also love European goods.

Populism, whether it comes from the right or left is clearly driven by (overt or latent) white nationalism and the idea that only whites are entitled to a first world standard of living.

animosity towards Sen. Sanders is my fear he will run and tip the presidency to the GOP in 20 whether he is the candidate or not.

Get outta the way incremental third-wayers, we Progressives have a better idea!

1 Cook the bacon: Heat a large skillet on medium low heat. Add the strips of bacon or the slices of Canadian bacon. Slowly fry, turning occasionally, until the bacon is browned on both sides, and if using strip bacon, much of the fat is rendered out (about 10 minutes).
