There wasn’t enough to read here this morning, dammit. And it appears that MD is off compulsively masturbating again.

I have not though I do think he is far and away the most honest person in the race as at least he straight up says look man, I'm trying to buy your vote, I'm literally trying to give you money.
His talks on automation making large numbers of human workers obsolete is forward thinking as well.
And he just plain doesn't give off that slimy politician vibe...yet anyway.
Of all the things you've said about Trump here this is the one that could really change some hearts and minds.

Bernie has literally the same concerns that he's had for the past 40 years. How is that not honesty?

well if nothing else a discussion about honest politicians should be a short one
I'd put him in second place. He is honest about what his policies and ideas and goals are.
The downside is the 40+ years. The guy's been at some public trough or another since I was a kid. For all his grandiose ideas on labor and a market economy he probably hasn't earned a paycheck that wasn't full of tax dollars since his 30s and he's 78 now.
Maybe he wrote a couple books or something idk.
No, he's just been advocating for his constituents successfully enough that they have kept him in office without the need for corporate donations.
I don't get this shit. People that have had a real job arent qualified, but people that havent in so many years also arent? It cant be both.

"I'm gonna take these rich* people's money and buy you free shit with it" us about as close as you're gonna get.
*rich defines as whoever you think has too much.
curious that you consider taxation theft (?) but don't seem to consider the theft of working class labor by capitalists to be concerning

I pay a lot of tax & havent gotten my moneys worth once & back when I was unskilled I was paid what I was worth
Ymmv?
I was gonna ask how one goes about "stealing labor" but I don't have all damn day.

I think it happens when youre about as useful as tits on a fence post & your employer pays you accordingly
Wages have been stagnant longer than I've been alive but productivity has steadily climbed.
When you agreed to do X work for X compensation in return, you just determined your value.
From the other side, when the employer can get enough people to do the work to whatever standard for X, the job is worth X. When they can't, they have to offer more pay until they can.
