The point is illustrated Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #11

Exactly. Socialism is a white male ideology. MineralMan Mar 2020 #14

You are such a wonderful writer, and put it so clearly. Tumbulu Mar 2020 #62

That's a problem many of us seem to have. MineralMan Mar 2020 #23

:) True for us all, but in enormously varying degrees. Hortensis Mar 2020 #35

Nicely put. MineralMan Mar 2020 #36

Your opinion is valid of course... the_sly_pig Mar 2020 #84

You're Damned Right It Is, Sir The Magistrate Mar 2020 #85

Your are like me in many ways but much more articulate. My wealthy sister and I had an argument Pepsidog Mar 2020 #45

"always has.", you'd think that as a socialist Bernie would know that and believe it. marble falls Mar 2020 #49

Not necessarily. Socialism is an economic thing. MineralMan Mar 2020 #56

Its basis is to make economics a level playing field for all. That's never been accomplished ... marble falls Mar 2020 #63

There is no bashing in this thread - just description. MineralMan Mar 2020 #69

And how does this... Catch2.2 Mar 2020 #80

Interesting. First you accuse me of "bashing" MineralMan Mar 2020 #83

Just read my post Catch2.2 Mar 2020 #99

"Unifying" is a moot complaint at this point. Either you're with the Democrats, or you're with Trump LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #70

So you think Catch2.2 Mar 2020 #79

The poster did not say that at all. MineralMan Mar 2020 #86

No, I'm saying that anyone who doesn't vote for the Democratic nominee is for Trump LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #90

My Fox news watching 60 yr old white brother said something interesting the other day on the phone. LizBeth Mar 2020 #72

That's very observant of him, MineralMan Mar 2020 #74

He didn't realize what he had said out loud, and it is fact so not necessarily observant. LizBeth Mar 2020 #82

That's why I never discuss politics with family members. MineralMan Mar 2020 #87

Never. Lol LizBeth Mar 2020 #89
