"We've always brought the country together. 'We the people, we hold these truths to be self-evident.' (Trump) flies in the face of all the basic things that we've never really met the standard (of, but) we've never abandoned it before," Biden said. "He looks like he's just flat abandoned the theory that we are one people."
Riiiiiight. Never really met...or tried to meet. Why try to meet it when you can have the rich on one side and the French fry servers on the other. We're one people, 'cept some of us are more 'one' than others. Moooooo.
"Biden on Monday also doubled down on his support for a new assault weapons ban and suggested his administration would try to create a buyback program to get those weapons off the street."
Riiiiiight. That'll work. The crazies will be ALL over that.
"Biden was clear that he would not seek to confiscate privately owned or purchased guns, instead advocating for "a national buyback program" intended to get the weapons "off the street."
You can vote for me because the laws I make won't matter.
"The fact of the matter is (assault weapons) should be illegal. Period," Biden said. "The Second Amendment doesn't say you can't restrict the kinds of weapons people can own. You can't buy a bazooka. You can't have a flame-thrower."
The 2nd amendment ALSO says you can't restrict hand guns either: clubs are arms. Ban ALL hand guns too!
Good ol' creepy Uncle Joe: it's safe to vote for him cos he'll do nothing to piss you off, really.... except feel your daughter's boob and sniff your wife's hair.
This guy is same old same old ( but creepier).
So.......the parties SAFE choice, I guess.

"Capitalism despite its flaws doesn't need to be global"
But for the ultra rich to become ultra-ier rich-ier, it MUST be global: proof is in things like the TPP, that the ultra rich wrote (notice that WE little people weren't allowed to see what was in it until it was a done deal). Make job loss global and you have, globally, people willing to work 3 jobs for minimum wage.
Control the government with your money and you have governments willing to do ANYTHING you ask.
Control ALL governments and you have global ability to make money FREELY and fuck the people over.
Global capitalism is polluting the planet and screwing people over.
'Socialism' is needed to put controls on people who are out of control.

It can all be fixed, though. Torches and pitchforks have a wonderful way of tearing down the royalty who think they are better than all the rest of us.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

First we have to get through the sycophant grunts who surround the rich assholes. Being one of the grunts are you sure you want to risk flaming impalement?

So? Education is also something that ultra-rich benefit from. Should we get rid of that? You need a better argument than that.
So is job growth. We have more of that than we do job loss.
Except of course, that doesn't happen in the first place.
And making most peoples' live better.
Like who? There's no out of control businesses in the entire developed world and China for two glaring counter examples.
