its called spending priorities. I love how conservatives never apply the "free stuff" and "socialism" label when it coms to corporate handouts and massive military spending.
how horrible that bernie wants to implement things that will protect and help American workers and the middle class so America becomes a meritocracy and real capitalist country again not a corpratocracy
Wow I can't believe how unstable you are. I read the whole exchange and you seem to have issues?
So does the actor playing Arthur by your standards also have to be from the town he supposedly came from? and as JLAW said have to be a. pure blood Gaelic?
Where do the cutoff for how accurate it have to be end?
... are you okay? I think you need to see a psychiatrist. you aren't well man.
yaa i don't live there man but im a progressive ally. even the conservatives in Canada are disgusted by the us health care system.
I don't know how you guys do it.
You haven't addressed anything I said or rebutted it. you've said "yaa abut we helped and you'd be in swastika land!!!"
and im the troll?
Again keep writing in caps. its a sign of mental stability ive been told :)
I suggest maybe actually doing research and coming up with compelling argument rather than coming up with mouth breather patriotic American lines.
Seems like literacy isnt your strongest point is it..

can I suggest read with phonics for children?
Meh id say it was never as democratic as a parliamentary system. But over the years (centuries in the making) the corporate claws in the system have made it so all three branches constantly serve and rule in favor of corporations and the wealthy. The USA has consistently further and further slid into an indirectly controlled Oligarchy where the rich nd elite rule in all but name.
I didn't make that point about the executive (even if it may be true)
My point is that when tension in the system (citizens angry about issues) cant have that pressure released from the system. and hence they become frustrated. If I don't like one party in my country, I have 5 others I can vote for who can represent me.
you don't have that in the usa
You want to have a stolen valour competition? my entire family is from England. I GUARANTEE YOU I have more family who fight and died than yours in WW2.
Yes your family fought bravely and probably died. more than should have. because the US government and corporations wanted to keep profiting for as long as they could without getting directly involved. Not sure what your point is.. yes I want us involvement in ww2... are you confused?
You do realize writing in all caps makes you look mentally unstable right?
I wouldn't go that far. I think past presidents stayed within the norms and conventions (for the most part) for a good reason which all democracies have.
Trump is simply using and abusing and pushing what he can get away with to the very extreme and lines. Americas democracy is incredibly weak as of late
while the usa sat back and refused to do anything.. if you let a small fire keep burning beside a house. while having more then enough water to put it out. But you let it get bigger and bigger and still stand there then sell the owners some water so they can try and manage the fire. then only once the fire gets too close to your house, you step in once their house has completely burned down then lend them money at a cost to build a new house.
Are you really the hero? is that your arguement?
I didnt even understand half of what you wrote
curious which scenes music is bad? which scene went on too long?
the intro scene at the farm and the bar scene all "long talking scenes" are the most loved parts of the film by many
meh this movies perfect to me
I actually found one thing I agree with krl97a on.
-mike wasn't prepared and the others were already well experienced in debates
-He is surrounded by yes men
-related to the yes men, as Cenk Uygur said Bloomberg is used to just being surrounded people he can say "you are fired to". and no actual real opposition
- He has a horrible record and stands for nothing other than "I have a lot of money, Trump is mean, but im not against any of the status quo pro rich things trump likes"
im curious how the polarizing billionaire with a horrible history on minorities united the party and gets black votes?
I mean I partly degree. its pretty accepted in political science that the elite have the most class cohesion. It makes sense. but even within them they have competing interests. But yes I am sure they have a lot more in common a work together to weapon the poor and middle class.
overall the biggest issue with the USA is the lack of ability to work out cleavages.
in a normal political system these cleavages(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(politics))
"Cleavage separates the voters into advocates and adversaries on a certain issue, or voting for a certain party." the problem is that democracy lets you work out the tension in society through elections.
so what happens when you have a two party duopoly that only represents a handful of people? the majority become frustrated, disillusioned, angry and sick of it. Hence the populist support for Donalds trump and now for Bernie Sanders
imagine it was Obama tweeting about the DOJ and having the sentencing reduced. Fox News would of lost it
