And...?

[FireArrow]

what's so bad about being a socialist

Nothing. It's just mislabeling, which leads to incorrect assumptions.

[mikey]

My dad says that the president doesn't even have much control over the economy and it's really congress who influences that

[Dude]

And...?

It says a lot about your character. Idk.

[blueflower999]

It says a lot about your character. Idk.

Perhaps. And the fact that you shifted this to an attack on my character shows a lot about yours.

[Dude]

I was just adding to this tho...

Yeah absolutely I just spam up the forums whenever I get the chance

No I just like making stupid jokes  And arguing with people

Overreacting much?

just gonna say that a reference to waddle's genitalia seemed like an ad hominem attack that came before his. even if you didn't mean it as an insult, it comes across as disrespectful.

[SlowPokemon]

I think he was just referencing the "vote Sanders or the dick stays soft" joke in Waddle's sig

[Jub3r7]

ah, makes sense. thanks for the clarification. I'm not up to date with NSM's current dick jokes

[Dude]

too bad it wasn't funny

[mikey]

too bad it wasn't funny

wasn't supposed to be funny it was supposed to be true

[Ruto]

Nah I'm not compromising my views for the sake of not being labled "hostile," sorry

If you're wrong, most people will try to correct you, no matter what your views are. No need to think of yourself as a martyr or some kind of ideological warrior. That would just be egotistic.

@Blue The difference between a socialist and a democratic socialist is quite vast.
Socialism: "a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."
That's PURE socialism. Bernie isn't a pure socialist; what he's advocating for is a social democracy, IE the government Scandinavia, Canada, and most of Western Europe has.
@Kefka You can say he doesn't have a shot, but he's currently polling better than Obama did at this point in the race of 2008.
If you don't want to go by polls, then what should we go by? If there's another system I'd be happy to check it out.
As for Biden, I'm fairly sure he said he's not running. It'd also be fairly late to join the race now, though I suppose stranger things have happen.
Also, say what you like, but Bernie Sanders has made his stance regarding guns quite clear. He's fairly moderate on the issue, and honestly (though I don't disagree w/you) your stance is quite radical in this political climate on guns (throwing out the second amendment and making guns illegal).
@NoS He did kinda screw up...
