      Shocking, the guy who was caught at a 2020 dinner party at French Laundry during the pandemic when he had asked Californians to avoid group gatherings for the Thanksgiving holiday.

    People like him, HRC and DWS are the reason Bernie wasn’t the DNC candidate in 2016…and are why we’re in the mess we’re in right now.

    Trump didn’t win in 2016, HRC lost.

    They were too scared Bernie would expose their crimes and corruption, and now we’re living in the Turd Reich.

    EDIT: DWC should have been DWS

      He reminds me a lot of HRC. We know he exists to run for president, but we know very little about what he actually stands for. We know what he’s against.

        At first glance I thought “he” was referring to Bernie and my brain started to melt.

        On second read, I think you’re talking about Newsom. I hope you’re taking about Newsom.

          Sadly Bernie’s brain has also started to melt. I’m a fan of the guy, but not a fan of him in the Senate any more.

      LOL. Bernie wasn’t the candidate because, brace yourself, he is/was unpopular with the general public. Hillary lost because most people are morons and cannot think for themselves.

        20 hour old account doing nothing but tossing insults at people? Nothing of value to see here, folks. Block and move on.

    As long as there are different socio-economic classes, it will always be class warfare. Everything will be done to veer the fight away from class warfare. Legitimate causes like feminism and equal rights will be used as distractions to veer away from class warfare. It will always be the mega rich vs everyone else.

    Feel like an outlier here, but creating a billionaire tax at the state level seems ridiculous, and would actually harm the state. It is so easy to move the money outside the jurisdiction of that state to another when you are that wealthy, so the only effective way to implement would be at the federal level. Can someone help me understand why a state level billionaire tax makes sense?

      Somebody has to do it, and waiting for the death of the filibuster to have anything get done is a terrible idea
