    You don't seem to have words for much besides childish insults lol. I'm positive that anyone on this message board (literally anyone) would agree that not only is Than smarter than you, but that he's considerably smarter than you.

    I think it's about damn time and it makes all the sense in the world. All the energy and all the (non-billionaire) fund raising in the democratic party is coming from Bernie and the Squad and the other true lefties in the party. They have all the power and this is exactly how they can bring about the change we need.

    Tge problem is, there's only one political party. On issues that actually matter, (lol pc pussy culture) Tulsi is pretty damn liberal. That's absolutely one my favorite things abouy her too though. She has no fear. These are the same people who are calling Bernie Sanders a fucking anti-semite. Smears don't have to be rational. She knows that and she weilds the truth and her record like a sledge hammer to smash all of CIA/media lies whenever she's actually given a chance to speak for herself in front of a national audience. I think what makes her so appealing to more conservative minded peeps us that there isn't a lot of double speak or dodging with her. She shoots from the hip and articulates herself well and she doesn't put people down when she disagrees but rather tries to find common ground. I don't agree with everything she says but i know she's not a liar and i know she isn't afraid to make sacrifices. Leaving her position with the DNC and endorsing Sanders could have easily ended her career but she did what she felt was right anyway. That takes balls. She doesn't base her opinions or answer questions asked to her on what's politically conveinient. Everything she says and does is in service of her country. That's amazing to me.

    https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/tulsi-gabbard/ I don't see her as being all that moderate to be honest. She's not as far left as Sanders but she's definitely one of his biggest allies if not his biggest ally in the Democratic party. I would actually go as far to say that Gabbard is by far the furthest left candidate aside from Sanders.

    I think the question to me is will people just accept it or would they do something?

    @BwareDWare94My question is, does the US care about terrorism? If so, then why do we give the Saudi's money and weapons? It's almost like we're creating our own enemies to justify all the money we waste dropping bombs...

    You sure? I haven't seen a grass roots campaign with this much money and man power behind it in my lifetime. I think this conflict with Iran will go a long way towards determining that. Sanders could be an anti-war candidate running against a guy who got elected in part by saying he wanted out of the middle east but is instead dragging us into another war without congressional approval? Idk man, i know you can't stand Sanders but that doesn't mean he loses to Trump. If the media can sell people on going to war with Iran, maybe he loses but people care about having health care, not about getting into another endless war. I fully expect him to be assassinated though if they can't just outright rig the primary against him.

    Super Bowl LIV Picks

    I tend to agree with you on the Eagles but if by some crazy chance they did make it, they would be riding a 7 game win streak and they'd be feeding off that same under dog energy they did when they won it all. Seems like a trap game for a team with a young QB and a mediocre HC.

    Super Bowl LIV Picks

    A super bowl is a road game for both teams and Drew Brees has gotten some pretty shit teams into the playoffs. He's had several historically bad defenses and honestly playing like shit most of a game and pulling it out in the end, is to me, a measure of greatness. To me that says he can win any kind of game so long as he's in striking distance.
  12. seanbrock

    Super Bowl LIV Picks

    Maybe man but that offensive line is also pretty damn good and keeping him on his feet and making holes for the run game. If the Saints can keep it close and give Brees a shot at the end, I'm not sure how you don't fear the Saints. They're a very complete team with a ballsy coach and a hall of fame QB who might be the most accurate thrower of the football who ever lived. If there's one thing that can beat great coverage, that'd be it. Edit: also in regards to the Eagles or any other NFC team who makes the super bowl, we saw the Giants beat the undefeated Pats. We saw the Steelers win the Super Bowl with Cowher at what? 9-7? Hell, the Ravens won it at 9-7. Any team hot enough to make it to the Super Bowl can win it.

    Super Bowl LIV Picks

    Don't forget who's throwing them the ball. In 15 post season games, Brees has thrown for over 4700 yards, 33 TD's and just 11 picks all at a 65% rate.

    Super Bowl LIV Picks

    I hear ya man, it isn't the same old Pats. I just have a feeling he'll cook something up for Jackson. They lack some talent on offense but i think defensively they have some talent. I still don't trust a running QB against Belichick come playoff time. I don't want to see the Pats in the Super Bowl, trust me. Lol

    Super Bowl LIV Picks

    I think the Saints might do it this year. To me they're the most balanced team and the best team. They've kind of been for two years now and two years in a row they had flukey exits. I still think the Pats will end up in the Super Bowl because i think Belichick will put the clamps on Jackson in the playoffs and Andy Reid will do everything possible to make sure he doesn't win the big game.

    Trump Regime thread.

    @ThanatosWhat about the way they've covered Sanders for 5 years now? How about Tulsi? How about the debates they host where they spit Republican talking points at anyone for medicare for all? Whar war have they ever opposed besides Iraq ten years after the fact? MSNBC is controlled opposition designed to make you hate your uncle for voting for the other team.They want you to argue about gender and Russiagate lies so you don't stand up against the war machine, fossil fuel, the banks, the healthcare industry etc. You know, the people who own this country, and are running it (and thr planet) into the ground for profit.

    Trump Regime thread.

    No, we mostly agree but with one difference. Fox isn't reacting to MSNBC or vice versa. They're just a part of a show. My team vs your team. It's not a balancing act. They want a partisan divide. It's by design. They all run the same ads which means they're ultimately beholden to the same people.

    Trump Regime thread.

    The Business Plot of 1933 was sucessful. It just took a few decades to accomplish. Our media and both political parties are owned. They're coming for the internet now by trying yo tear down net nuetrality. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot That's not a conspiracy theory guys. There's one party. Let's argue about genders some more lol.

    One, i didn't stop learning after i graduated high school. Two, who says you can't abuse drugs and alcohol and still educate yourself? Lol. Also, i don't believe the propaganda of the left either. I've been saying for years now that all the Russia stuff was bullshit and i've never bought into the pc/cancel culture bullshit.

    Trump Regime thread.

    @DJT20 Climate change bullshit? Lol Even if i grant you climate change is bullshit, why not invest into renewable energy? It's better technology with much more potential. The obvious reason is because of the massive amounts of money oil people will lose. They're the ones who pay "experts" to convince dummies like you climate change doesn't exist. I find it hilarious that so many people believe that there's all this money in faking climate change? More money than what Big oil already has? Lol Don't you want clean water? Do you want to end up walking around with masks like they do in China? Why would we let society as a whole suffer for a handful to profit? As there are more and more people people polluting, both of those problems will get worse. Or does that basic logic escape you too. Climate change deniers are so fucking dumb. Who cares if some white priveleded girl is the mascott? It's not like they don't have similar figures on the other side. That's just political theatre and honestly irrelevant. What ever happened to Teddy Roosevelt conservatives who wanna...you know...conserve the environment? Then again you probably don't know shit about history or anything outside of the retarded propaganda you consume without any question or critical thought because it's pro white. Democrats aren't the only ones who feed off of identity politics.

    It's on Bezos because literally nobody in the country benefits more off of doing business in the US than he does. His company can operate at a loss because it pays no taxes so it can destroy business all over the country. It's on people with the most money because as the old saying goes it takes money to make money. That alone gives him and others like him a massive advantage. There are people with money with just make money by investing in people with actual ideas that just lack capital. Some of those people literally just inherited a fortune. I think that's pretty whack, personally. As for people not doing business in poor areas because they're often violent, I mean, that's true but that's part of the reason why we have a federal government. If the federal government started converting old car plants and steel plants in places like Detroit, Chicago, LA, Philly, wherever and gave people an option to say hey, you can have this union job that you can support your family with or make next to nothing selling drugs for a gang in your neighborhood, I'm telling you right now a lot of those people are taking that job. Maybe not all of them but it's a start. Part of the issue with education is the enormous cost which people against free college have a great point on. They get all this federal and state money and give their buddies nice cushy administration jobs and stuff like that. I think that's relatively easy to fix though. If you get federal and state money you can only devote x amount of dollars to administration. The profits you make for athletics, x amount has to go to actual education. If not you can always be a private university and get no money. I think part of the reason why people pick the wrong fields to study in is it's such a huge decision to make when you're 18 and once you've invested a certain amount of time and money you're kind of locked in. Public schools do such a poor job of preparing you and offering guidance and information. You hardly learn anything about economics or personal finance or really much of anything for that matter in public school. You learn enough to take a standardized test to hopefully get good enough scores to compete for money. How does that make sense? We're sending kids to obedience factories, churning out drone people and medicating the fuck out of them. A lot of parents are both working 40 hours a week. It's hard to help with homework or keep your kids out of trouble when nobody is around and mom and dad are under a massive amount of stress trying to make It happen and keep everyone's head above water.

    People make their own choices so at the end of the day you're not going to eliminate poverty completely but if we could at least pretend it was an issue and even attempt to do anything about it, that'd be dope. I see people talk about how much they want to see mental health addressed so they can keep their guns. Plenty of people in this country who are homeless are mentally ill. Can we talk about how 1 in 5 children lives in poverty? That's 13.3 million kids in the richest, most powerful country in the world. I bet you if Bezos put half his fortune to that cause we would be in a much better place in that regard. Spoiler alert, He's not going to, most of it is probably sitting in bank accounts.

    Prohibition of alcohol, drugs and gambling and poverty are pretty much the reasons why organized crime exists. Do I think ending the drug war would be a magic bullet to end organized crime? No. Do I think it would be a much more effective solution than further militarizing the police force that apparently already Don't know the meaning of non lethal force despite having tasers, pepper spray and batons? You bet your sweet ass I do. Lol

    Yeah, instead of ending the drug war and addressing poverty, Let's further militarize our police force that's blowing people away on a daily basis.
