I think there are things he wants that he knows won’t ever happen but he pushes for them anyway. Focusing on ‘taxing the rich’ is never going to happen (IMHO). I think, removing loop holes, and making sure everyone pays there share is a much better fight, and achieves the same results. I’m sure there are other things we’re not lined up on but that one jumps out.

That is the whole goal of focusing on ‘taxing the rich’, though. These two are the same thing stated in different ways. The only people who abuse these loopholes are the rich. The working class already pays their share.
Maybe you just have a problem with the wording, I guess? Because you don’t seem to disagree, at all, from the quote above.
So, you don’t want to tax the rich? You seem to be misunderstanding something fundamental.
Making the rich pay their fair share would literally mean taxing them. Currently, they are able to get out of it with the loopholes. Removing the loopholes forces the rich to pay taxes.
The fact that you can’t name things means, to me, that you haven’t spent much time really thinking about it. So does the one item you cited.
I’m happy to continue this conversation when you have a solid position to speak from.
Where did I say that? Did you read my whole comment? Are you actively looking to argue?
I actually almost didn’t reply knowing whatever I said would lead to exactly this.
Your right I’m not actively thinking about all of Bernies policies in 2024. 'tax the rich" will garner the support of the “not rich”, you know the ones that don’t pull the strings or have the power.
I read your entire comment. It was lacking in substance or depth. That’s why I made clarifying points.
If you’re not thinking about Bernie politics in 2024, but commenting on a Bernie political post, maybe leave the political part out. Particularly if you aren’t going to speak more about it… this is a forum for discussion after all.
“I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire,”
In truth it’s lame ass white dudes who are the kids of rich men who benefit from the system and are handed positions way above their level. Black women have to work their asses off to even get their foot in the door. This “diversity hire” narrative is massive projection. Musk was born on third base and got walked in for the score.
Prosthetic makeup is a thing. In that photo, he does not look like he was painted with an orange marker by a three-year-old. The news here is that he got a new makeup team.
And that’s how much damage one lunatic republican can do when in office. Four more years of it without some kind of safety net in place will destroy the country as we know it. Thanks for ruining everything good republicans!
It also seems to be a testament to how nothing (barring term-limits) is gonna be done. The previous laws and regulations were perfectly adequate until the supreme court ruled “uh-uh.” There still seems to be a perceptual disconnect between those not playing fairly and the Democratic establishment.

I haven’t gone to McDonald’s in YEARS and I’m not missing anything!
Ever since the big Mac meal went over $10, I was out. That was years ago and now it’s even worse. I’m also not a sucker for using their god-damned app so I can get a $1 small fry and a free q-tip. If I’m not happy with your prices at the drive-thru, then I’m just not going there.
