No, you can't assure us that Bernie or AOC would fail.  You can only assure us the establishment will try their best to make them fail, as they are already starting to do with all the negative articles in establishment media.

I'm not sure Congress will allow him to do what he wants, but if the President pushes for things that are popular with the people (Medicare for All), and Congress doesn't go along, a lot of Congressman could lose their seats; then things will happen.

I agree to some extent.  The corporate media will always ensure they help the establishment stay in power.

I guess the best we can hope for is that people slowly begin to realize this and quit relying on corporate media to tell them who to vote for.

Don't worry, when the next Dem president fails, even if it's 40 years later, they will probably connect it to the Trump administration.



Only if the Trump administration was found to be responsible, XUL.

For example, we know that Reagan took the country from the middle class and gave it to the rich.  There's no denying it anymore, as every metric proves it's true.


Reagan stopped upward gains by the middle class and gave it all to the rich by attacking labor and unions:


Reagan was the first President not to increase minimum wage, causing a sharp decline in real minimum wage that the country has never recovered from:


Reagan reversed the downward trend of debt/GDP by giving tax cuts to the rich:


Reagan was responsible for a sharp decline in US exports as a percentage of GDP that we've never recovered from:



Reagan was EASILY, and BY FAR the worst president this country has ever had for the middle class.

How is it petty and small to call out racism?  Do you think you can definitively say that Bush ran the country better than Obama?  Perhaps you think that way because you are conservative, but I doubt the majority of the country would agree.

For obstruction of justice, not for colluding with Russia.

Interestingly, his only crime was asking people to stop the witch hunt, which is exactly what it turned out to be.

Not one for colluding with Russia, which is pretty sad for a Russia collusion investigation.

Hundreds of trained experts disagree. Where did you get your law degree?



Disagree with what?  That the interference can't be quantified?

There is more evidence saying the Russians didn't give the DNC emails to Wikileaks than there is evidence that they did.

- The FBI couldn't prove the Russian Government gave the emails to Wikileaks, even if Russia had the emails in their possession from spying
- Julian Assange said he didn't get the emails from a Russian source
- Seymour Hersh said a high ranking FBI official told him they checked Seth Rich's computer and found evidence of him working with Wikileaks
- The FBI claims they didn't check Seth Rich's computer (because they can't handle the truth?)

But let's just say it was the Russian Government who told Americans the truth about the DNC.  Is it your position that truthful information is bad?  That Americans are best kept as stupid as possible?  That the establishment should be allowed to manipulate elections as they desire?

This whole discussion is unbelievably stupid.

The problem with the anti-establishment narrative is you end up with people who have no experience doing very important jobs. Electing a president who has never been elected to another office gets you someone with absolutely no job experience. In no other job would someone think that is a good idea.



While that may be true of Trump, not everyone with Government experience is subservient to Big Money (take Bernie for example).

They have speech restrictions and gun restrictions.



I don't know why you think relaxed gun laws are a good thing.  Americans are 10 times more likely to be killed by guns than the people in other countries.

But on top of that, here is a very small list of how other countries are freer.  Other countries:

1.  Don't lock up more people than any other democracy (as Morel Guy already mentioned)
2.  Have national health insurance
3.  Pay for public college
4.  Have laws that better protect workers ability to organize and negotiate
5.  Have greater social mobility
6.  Don't allow assassination of their own citizens
7.  Don't allow indefinite detention
8.  Don't allow warrantless searches

We're not the freest by a long shot.  And this list is just a starting point...

What do you mean? In the smaller sense, there was a war going on. In the bigger sense, there was a Cold War going on.

It sounds like you're saying we should have let the Soviets do as they pleased and gobble up more countries...



Ah, now it makes sense why you think "the commies started that mess".

No, we shouldn't let 'the Soviets do as they please'.  We should let THE PEOPLE do as they please.  80% of Vietnam supported communist Ho Chi Minh, but the US stepped in anyway.  How do you win a war when the majority are against you?  You don't.

The US needs to learn that lesson.
