So, we all recall Democrats whining about Hillary and the popular vote for almost 4 years right ? Pretty incredible display of hypocrisy there at the end of the debate with none of them besides Bernie agreeing to defer to the candidate with the most delegates.  
 

this is their game.  If they rob him at the convention when he has a clear delegate majority watch what happens.  It won’t be pretty.

Meh, he’ll probably just bitch out like last time.

It doesn’t matter what he does. He’s said that he’ll support whoever it is.  But there is no way that they win in November if they rat fuck the nomination.  Something like 60% of Bernie voters say they won’t go a long with it.  We’ll see I guess.

Sorry, Tank.

Was going to push hard for my first grandchild to be named Toby. That’s no longer an option, you rebel scum.

That was terrible, couldn't watch it after 10 minutes. I think they all did Trump a huge favor.

I’m also concerned about something like this.  The history is that they are stupid enough to do it.  But also, it’s so insane that it’s hard to believe they would.  It would be the end of the Democratic Party.  Not hyperbole.  They would destroy the party.  Also, Trump would crush that ticket. 

What would be dumber, doing this or electing a communist to go up against Trump?

Trump will easily beat Bernie. Bernie has no appeal to centrists. I am as centrist as they get, and as anti-Trump as they get, and yet I’d never vote for Bernie. And lots of people feel just like me.

“Communist” 

i don’t know what to tell you man.  Vote your conscience.  I disagree with your assessment of his electability.

Leadership! I will go forth, unless, of course, no one really wants to join me, then I guess it's okay the way things are.

If Bernie wins, get ready for economic and stock market hell, not to mention a greatly expanded IRS.

 

His plan imposes a severe penalty on anybody who tries to leave to avoid paying his "wealth tax."

"The wealth tax includes a 40 percent exit tax on the net value of all assets under $1 billion and 60 percent over $1 billion for all wealthy individual(s) seeking to expatriate to avoid the tax," it says.

Under the current tax system, the United States does impose an "expatriation tax" on people renouncing their citizenship and leaving the country. But that tax, as explained by Forbes contributor Robert W. Wood, is applied like a capital gains tax on the estimated value of a person's holdings on the day before they leave. Generally, according to the IRS, the top capital gains rate is currently 20% -- although a 28% rate applies to some "collectibles" such as "coins and art."

Sanders obviously does not think even a 28% tax on what you own would be sufficient to deter people from fleeing the new country into which he hopes to "transform" America.

Meanwhile, patriotic Americans who stay in what they know is the greatest country on Earth -- and who work to keep it free during a Sanders reign -- would need to deal with what this self-proclaimed socialist calls a "national wealth registry."

What is that?

It is an IRS-controlled federal database of the things that "wealthy" Americans own and how much the government estimates those things are worth. Sanders believes this registry is needed to carry out his "extreme wealth tax."

After all, the government cannot know who has "extreme wealth" until it has cataloged what people suspected of being wealthy own and has assigned a monetary value to those belongings.

The way Sanders explains it, it is like you die every year and the federal government is enforcing the death tax against you -- again and again and again.

"Under current law, the IRS is already required to assess the net worth of the wealthiest Americans when they pass away, to calculate estate tax liability," says his plan. "A federal wealth tax would require the IRS to make the same assessment on an annual basis for the wealthiest Americans."

I don't like the idea of a "National Wealth Registry," but to compare that to a registry based on religion or race is a huge stretch.

Lol I was just looking at that.  Also reported by some source called CNS news.  FACTUAL REPORTING: LOW 

described as “extreme right propaganda” 

it’s not that hard to detect this stuff FS.

Yeah but the rest of this board doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I wonder why.

Is the information in the snippet that FS posted inaccurate?
