Lol -- this video of a Woman pulling a gun over a school notebook is hilarious:

My favorite part is how awkward, uninvolved and shocked the black young man looks during the whole exchange. Like he's thinking: "grandma not again please!"

They arrested all 4 women to be PC...but I think we can all tell who was in the right here, that bitch wouldn't let go of her granddaughter. D.C. Democrats might use it as another opportunity to try to bring up guns -- anything to keep the topic off how the DNC is a corrupt organization that stole the Primary from Bernie Sanders and is only there to water down any socialist ideas that come up.

Yeah this is going to be used as CCW is bad propaganda.

Edit: IMO -- it should be a long term plan of every socialist to lower business tax and raise personal income tax (including investment income -- perhaps a higher rate for passive income). Corporate tax raises prices and lowers wages...its not a progressive thing to support big corporate tax.

this is why socialism is dumb "help the poor by taking all their money"

I wonder why the left plays the race card? Because its the only way they can get minorities to vote for them, because democrats offer no assistance beyond words.

She has nice hair....kind of looks a bit culturally appropriated though.

This is why Republican poor people are dumb. They see that working class people get much more spending power in Socialist countries right now -- even though they have less money as a nation overall. In yet they are convinced by some D.C. think tank or corporate media outlet that the system named after Capital (which they don't own) will somehow work out better for them. It's not.

And that's why they talk about race stuff. They don't have to in general....this isn't even political most the time but social. Every time the economy comes up its all about gay rights, BLM etc...not because democrats couldn't do a populist platform...but because rich democrats don't want them to. The DNC is almost baseless, they have almost no support by regular people. The only thing they have is wealthy donors and the strategic position of historically being able to pick the Democratic nominee. But I think real conflict is coming over the next primary in the DNC...no one is going to like the DNC pick.

In her new book, Clinton blamed Bernie Sanders for "copying her policies", "making unrealistic promises", and "purposefully disrupting the Democratic party". I'm so happy that fucking cunt isn't president. (But not as happy as I am sad that Trump is)

Expect more of the same in 2020 though.

glad she spent the last 7 months writing a book for personal gain rather than working on healthcare reform like bernie standers has been.

You can make the same point about Democrat poor people. They keep voting democrat, and they are no better off now than they were fifty years ago. The only people who get rich from Democratic government control are politicians lawyers lobbyists and bureaucrats.

uh what? american middle class are the greatest over spenders on earth. Are you talking about danish socialist countries where the goverment sells oil and gives that money to their tiny population, simmilar to the concept of reperations?

Becuse if so that is by no means an economic model as well as it is ironically contrary to every value an american socialist holds dear regarding the environment.

Most of that started with Bill Clinton. Clinton decided the "new" democrats needed to be corrupt lobbyists on the dole from billionaire donors. Roosevelt did a bit of that and all...but it was 3 guys...who cares if 3 billionaires are making way too much money...now its like god damn 2000+ and the gap is even more massive than it ever ways.

IDK if Clinton realized this fully or not. That it would basically be the undoing of populism if you routinely side with billionaires. I think he and wife honestly thought that this wouldn't get as bad as it is now. But I also think they stopped giving a shit sometime before Bill entered the white house.
