That's because:

A) They're not being properly financially educated.

and

B) They perceive rich politicians as screwing over poor people while giving themselves tax cuts. These are the same politicians that promote capitalism. Ergo, they view capitalism as the product of an evil institution.

A+B=socialism

That is how they come to that conclusion.



Anecdotal, but whatever this all-is-one, hand holdy, we're in this together nonsense that everyone rails against is, my hatred of .gov is the only thing keeping me out.

Give me a gov I had faith in, and I'd be Bern'ing so gd hard right now.

So, yeah. What Wu said.

Actually indoctrination does seem to prevail :
" According to a new poll from Gallup, young Americans are souring on capitalism. Less than half, 45 percent, view capitalism positively.



Those polls are ridiculous. 90% couldn't
tell you what capitalism is, or socialism.
Try polling economic grads and you'll
a totally different result.

Actually due to Trump's attacks on regulation a company may avoid being caught putting out a known defective product. And it may go on for a long time before being detected.

Best ad ever.
The 32-second ad shows exchanges with four representatives from last week’s House hearings with Mueller:

“What about total exoneration?” asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. “Did you actually totally exonerate the president?” to which Mueller replied, “No.”


“Isn’t it fair to say that the president’s written answers ... showed that he wasn’t always being truthful?” asked Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., to which Mueller replied, “Generally.”


“You believe that you could charge the president of the United States with obstruction of justice after he left office?” asked Rep. Ken Buck, D-Colo., to which Mueller replied, “Yes.”

“The campaign welcomed the Russian help, did they not?” asked House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., to which Mueller replied, “Yes.”

“And they lied to cover it up?” Schiff followed up. “Generally, that’s true,” Mueller answered.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Oh, my god, their article on Fox News....

Quote:

The Fox News Channel is a United States cable and satellite news channel for an elderly audience which promotes feminism and the homosexual agenda,[1] as managed by the globalist Murdoch family.[2] It is a channel that merely regurgitates news originally reported by other sources, with almost no original reporting of its own. It is influenced by dark money and promotes liberal Republicans rather than conservative ones, such as the late John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

Probably does, same as most outlets do.

But back to the link, you want to disprove any of the footnoted cites feel free. Otherwise admit the troll question of guns being used to stop mass shootings was answered.

But in keeping with conservative anti-science and anti-facts I'm not surprised by much anymore.

Number of years these cities have been run by Democratic Mayors:

Atlanta 120
Chicago 75
Baltimore 52
Detroit 57
San Francisco 55
Cleveland 30
Philadelphia 71
Washington DC 109
Hartford 52

Many Republicans and Democrats have been President over this period, but one thing stays the same in these cities. Crime is high and many are poor despite money being dumped in these cities year after years.

Only logical question is why do the citizens continue to elect them?

"May" = in this case you making anything up because of your Trump hate and preference for pols who create regulations like it is a bodilu function.

Liberal groups suing over something Trump did. In other news, the sun should come up tomorrow.

Is tomorrow the end of the Dem Primaries already? Unless Joe does something stupid, it’s over. It’s obvious he is the only realistic candidate with a chance to win.

Trump should be worried if it is Joe, because the rest of these clowns doubled down on Free Stuff for everyone.

And actual credit to CNN for asking questions that made Bernie & The Indian show what they actually stand for instead of covering for them.

Their thoughts are truly scary.

(The neo-Gothic Washington National Cathedral was established by congressional charter and is perched on the highest hill in Washington. )

Leaders of the Washington National Cathedral have joined the voices denouncing President Donald Trump for attacking Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and labeling his majority-black district a “rodent infested mess.”

“When such violent dehumanizing words come from the President of the United States, they are a clarion call, and give cover, to white supremacists who consider people of color a sub-human ‘infestation’ in America,” the statement reads. “They serve as a call to action from those people to keep America great by ridding it of such infestation. Violent words lead to violent actions.”

The default for socialists seems to be anger. They are always angry, usually at anyone who has done well for themselves in life.

I will be very surprised if he sets foot on a debate stage ever again.

He's just going to have rally after rally, spouting his usual talking points and saying things like "What do I need to debate? You've seen what I can do for you. Here's what else I'm going to do for you...." That and repeated appearances on Fox News will be his "debates."

Before 2016 he was a political non-entity so he could say and get away with a lot more because most of his skeletons were still in the closet. Now he has a political reputation that he can't risk. It's been 895 days since he last held an official press conference. He can't stand to be questioned or corrected anymore. He won't debate, because he's a chickens*** crybaby.

How, exactly, is Trump "provoking a race riot?" In the recent uproar, Trump did not mention anything about race. Just said how bad of condition Baltimore is in.

Are we to the point that pointing out reality is "racist?"

Blame Barack Obama in 2015 for Baltimore because he's the sitting POTUS and then turn around and NOT take responsibility when YOU are the sitting POTUS in 2019, especially when in 2015 you said you could "fix it fast", is either racist or cowardly. Pick one.

I had gone back and forth on whether I thought Trump was a racist or a racial opportunist, using other people's racism for his own gain. But it couldn't be any more clearer now. He's both.

It's Trump's M.O.

Almost everything he criticized Obama for, he's doing himself. It's all right there in black and white on his Twitter feed going back for years.

But he's making you money. Isn't that what it really is all about? Morals, honesty, religion, -none of them matter when someone puts money in your pocket. Get your priorities right. Sure, he says things most people think are racist. Sure he seems to go out of his way to pick fights that appeal to the most yahooish of his yahoos, but the bottom line is he is putting money in peoples pockets. Isn't that all that matters?

If Trump does manage to provoke race riots, it will only serve his agenda. POC will need to be very patient and forebearing in the months to come.



Wow, just Wow.

Trump was confronted with his own misogynist words by Megan Kelly and it sent him over the edge. You can definitely bet he will never admit to being a racist even though he is one.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

Yep! Not all of us are fortunate enough to find money between books or “magically” added to our cards or deposited in an account tomorrow.

That's the thing. I never understood why folks, especially conservatives, would want to credit somebody else for their OWN hard work. I made money under Barack Obama. I've made money under Donald Trump. And I'll make more money under whoever succeeds him.

That being said, the latest GDP numbers and report from the Commerce Department shows that there has been NO supply-side magic wand in our economy. Trump has done NOTHING special. NOTHING. Good old fashioned government deficit spending. That's all it is. That's all it ever was.

Supply-side has caused a boom! Since Reagan it has worked. Maybe you need to go ask some people in the real world what happened after Trump was elected. I have, several said business boomed the day after he was elected.

Of course to do that one needs to go out in the real world.

Such childlike innocence. It's so refreshing in this day and age to find someone who still believes…..

You are obviously the exception. Under Obama, America was hell on earth. Don't you remember the tent cities? The race riots? The wholesale slaughter? Going to war with North Korea? How can one forget these non-existent things?

LOL.. You realize that's not a good thing, right? Do you really want the economy hinging on... well, absolutely nothing tangible? What you're describing is literally what that means. And it reminds me of these charts:
















And my favorite:



LOL... Some principles you guys have. Life is good when there's not a black guy/woman/Democrat in charge, amirite?

God, I remember those days.

Obama wore a tan suit once and put mustard on a hamburger.

Oh, not to mention all the times he looked at a teleprompter, and one time he said "57" instead of "47."

And did I mention he was....looks around nervously.... black? I mean, the very nerve....

It was a dystopian nightmare. Pure torture.

And how is America doing under Trump? Hell on earth? Etc..... So basically no difference, right?

If you feel that way, why stay? If you cant see the difference in America and in the world since Trump took office, I don't know what to say.
I've long had a plaque on my wall that simply says- "Of two evils, choose neither". Not choose the one that puts money in my pocket.
I believe it was Winston Churchill who once said- We've already determined what you are. Now only the price is in question.

How about Trump is a politician who blamed an opponent, Obama, for something that was not Obama's fault? Doesn't make him a racist. Doesn't make him cowardly. Just makes him a politician who made a statement that I believe is false, but really can never be proven false. So a 'safe' attack on a competitor. I can list a hundred or so similar statements about Trump from the Clown Car.
