2020 Presidential Race

So who exactly gets reperations and how much?

They should pay us for having to listen to them whine about something that happened 150-250 years ago.

Just the typical victim mentality that the left loves to promote and perpetuate.

They haven't thought that far ahead yet. For now, they have everybody in their base thinking that THEY will be the ones getting paid.

I get 1/1024th of my allotment thank you.

It’ll be hilarious with people taking more DNA tests and white folks begin applying for reparations because they have African ancestry.

I won't speak to all of this but one thing did instantly catch my eye... The claim that "Bernie Sanders never held a job until age 53" is just flat wrong. He was the mayor of Burlington, Vermont (population 38,000) from 1981-1989. Since he was born in 1941, that would have covered ages 40-48.

Wouldn’t call that a job.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Wouldn’t call that a job.

If he was paid, it was a job.

...but I'm sure it wasn't Bernie Sanders first place of employment either. Not many people just walk off the street and get elected mayor of a town.... even one with just 38,000 people. I don't know who Mark Simone is, but obviously he just wants to throw crap on a wall and see what sticks.

I think they meant a real job, not sucking from the government tit like he still does.

Seeing as how it was followed up with "He lived off of welfare and four different women", it seems more likely that this Mark Simone person was speaking literally and meant that Bernie Sanders didn't have his own source of income until the age of 53.

If he was born in 1941, that made him 28 at the time of Woodstock. If he was a 28 year old hippie, he was a worthless POS. I give 18-19 year olds a little leeway in going astray at that age, not a 28 year old.

I looked it up and it looked like he worked some odd jobs and never really had a career. He was an active protester, go figure. Of course being a career politician has been his mainstay.

My big question, would they have to prove their ancestors were actually held in slavery in the United States or is just being a POC enough? If Dems are gonna throw out ridiculous proposals, they need to include the details of HOW they think it should be done.

 

[Matt2496]

Considering that it was the Democrat party who supported and condoned slavery ... considering that they made the Dred Scott decision ... considering that they supported Jim Crowe laws and supported segregation, I think it would be fair for the Democrat party and the Democrat party only to pay reparations to black people for their oppression.

The major road block to most Dem. proposals.

Seriously look at this current block of mouth breathers talking about things that are fantasy. Green new deal, free money, free college, reparations, getting rid of electoral college....instead of how to improve education, how to improve the lives of inner city poor, how to offer better care for Veterans, how to better maintain infrastructure, and on and on.

They have no solution to these. Worse, they don't seem to want to discuss them and would rather waste time talking about things so far from reality and probability.

Sounds like a good thing for the Clinton Foundation to fund.

whats funny is that we have bankrupted our nation already, any one of their ideas would require at least the 70% tax rate on ALL americans, and then the rest of their measures are even further out in lala land for funding.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The dem candidates have zero intentions of actually following through with reparations. They'll say it, get votes for saying it from African Americans, never do it, and never be held accountable for it.

 

[37L1]

I must have missed it in all the excitement. Where is the plan to pay for all this free, free-free, free-free-free, stuff?

Those new Turbo Tax commercials always make me think of the democrat candidates.

Protestor is a career path for democrats and has a degree offering..usually with a minor in victimization, virtue signaling, or general criminal studies.

You forgot "blame Republicans" as the reason they don't do it.
