I use logic all the time, you just don’t understand it 🙃

2.5 million isn't wealthy compared to bloomberg but its extremely wealthy to the average worker he claims to care about. Surely he could sacrifice his vacation home and pay his staffers a nice wage. My point is "wealth" is relative. to a homeless guy on the street I am probably rich just because I don't have to eat out of a trash can and sleep in a cardboard box.

so bernie gets to arbitrarily draw the line at himself? or does he? I am sure his little communist followers will come after his family's acquired wealth in a few decades.
it's honestly not impressive how you use logical fallacies and never logic to support your arguments.

I don't care for Sanders policies. I won't vote for him. But I think it's ridiculous to talk smack about a 78 year old man who has accumulated $2.5 million in wealth over the years. Isn't that what we're told to strive for in retirement - to work (yes, he's worked), save, invest. and build a nest egg?

Sometimes I wonder if people understand the difference between wealth and income.

Most of Bernie’s wealth came in the near past, specifically from book sales. I can’t get mad at someone for living the bulk of their life then writing a best selling novel and becoming a millionaire from that. But we started a small business 6 years ago and I spend summers in my own sort of vacation home so I guess I’m biased. Although I won’t vote for him, I won’t hate on the money he’s socked away and he shouldn’t apologize for it. Actually, neither should Bloomberg. He’s live the American dream and it’s refreshing to hear someone on the left this election cycle stand up for capitalism and the American success story.

That was my favorite moment, when Bloomberg pointed that out 😂
Fact is, socialism is only good for the very rich or the poor. The hardworking middle class is the one that gets screwed by it.

I don't believe Bloomberg will be able to become the Democrat primary candidate. I do strongly feel that Sanders will ultimately take that from all of them and it will be THEN that I watch a political debate.

To see Sanders vs President Trump on a debate stage will be, IMO and at the minimum, quite entertaining.
bloomberg's problem was that he was a total coward and apologized for everything rather than explain his logic. and defend himself and attack back like Trump does. for ex. when warren attacked him for having employees sign NDA's, that is standard practice for businesses. He could have used that moment to point out warren has never started a business and has no idea what she is talking about. then highlight his own experience. his excuse that they agreed to" keep quiet" just sounded bad, the connotation of that phrase is negative and sounds skeevy like he had something bad to hide. Not that I want bloomberg to do well but man that guy is socially inept. He just doesn't "have it". He looked weak and arrogant. not sure how that is even possible?
You do know that Warren used to teach contract law?

I will absolutely vote for him over a corrupt president. Corruption will erode a democracy a lot faster than a president who dreams of a new Norway.

We will be electing a president, not a dictator. Trump is doing all he can to imitate a dictator and the congress who is supposed to step in on this type of behavior is paralyzed with fear right now of their own re-election. They are allowing it to happen.

Right now Republicans are trying to hide a foreign governments interference in our next election. And people are worried about what? Socialism? Our capitalism is going nowhere. Sanders isn’t trying to eliminate capitalism. Presidents aren’t that powerful.

You get a summer house, she gets a summer house, they get a summer house, I get a summer house....WE ALL GET A SUMMER HOUSE. I mean isn't that the way socialism works? Everyone equal?

I don't think or believe capitalism is going anywhere and I don't think it should. If president's aren't that powerful, why should we be afraid of Trump?

America is heading for hell in a snowball. I don't know how many times I have to say it. We need to get back to center. This far right and far left shit will bury us - just like Khrushchev predicted.

OMG, it’s going to be painfully amusing. 2 old farts so out of contact with reality, one more stupid than the other, going into a debate.
It can either be hysterical or sad, depending on your view of life 😂
