saaaaaame. and with the dems being so split up right now, I'd say he's got a pretty good chance. Right now its looking like it will be capitalism versus socialism and then like the Starbucks CEO and potentially Joe Biden splitting up the democrat vote

sanders raised over $6 mil in the last day or so

@s t a i n e d g l a s s

uhhhhhhhh bernie sanders?

how so?

all of his policies point to that fact

that's his goal and aspiration

literally wants universal healthcare, college education, and other stuff all paid for by the american taxpayer

that's what those policies infer

he wants more and more regulations on everything which means the government would be taking hold of the economy.

that is the nature of regulations

but that's what happens BECAUSE of regulations

not in those words but his policies say socialism

how can you defend policies that mean that you, the american taxpayer will be paying for EVERYONE else's college and healthcare, and medicaid etc.

i just think the facts are being overtly ignored here that's all. theres no other way to describe sander's political stance than socialist

literally the definition of social democracy includes the phrase "a socialist system of government" achieved by democratic means which just means the people decide to be socialist

socialism that's decided by the people. people decide to be socialist. social democracy is a gradual transition to 100% flat out socialism

LITERALLY the definition!

wowwwwwwwwwwww. I can't believe I am talking to "conservatives" who support the process of becoming socialist. how is this possible

its literally the same definition, transition from capitalism to socialism which is being decided by the people

nordic model = An elaborate social safety net, in addition to public services such as free education and universal healthcare[10] in a largely tax-funded system.[11]=socialism

yes

and healthcare

it'll slowly faze out and slowly become full blown socialism. all I'm saying is that these "tiny steps toward socialism" are a dangerous and slippery slope to full blown socialism.

its the same thing that happened with abortion. make it safe, legal, and rare, and only within the first 20 weeks.... That lead to abortion all the time because we say so and even after they're born. Its just SUPER dangerous when you start to even go down these paths

anything slightly socialist will inevitably slide down the slippery slope until we've done ourselves in

that's what happens with all of these liberal policies

but it will get there, trust me

no

we have ice ages, we have droughts, its called weather over time and it happens on earth. It's the natural flow of the system and we have only been able to track weather patterns for the last 100 years so we have no data to go off of that says this is out of the norm compared to any other warm or cold spell we've ever had

sure, the earths temperature is changing, it does that all the time, we're not affecting it anymore than usual

if CO2 was an issue than the earth would have died long ago from bodily emissions given off by the dinosaurs

can't read it when its microscopic

the earths temperature is changing yes, but I don't believe it has anything to do with humans being the main cause.

correlation does NOT equal causation

http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

you get the point

you can't run a true experiment because you can't randomly assign "treatment conditions" therefore you can never assume that correlation = causation. Doing so would be irrational in any scientific field. there is a possible association but there is no evidence that suggests that human activity is the cause and we will never be able to prove it.

association and correlation are two completely different things
