@vivify saidTrolling is intentional misleading to provoke a response. They are kinda exclusive .
They're trolling for reasons based on ignorance. They complain that Sanders shouldn't be rich if he's a socialist, when socialism doesn't prevent wealth.
Maybe Fox News pundits know better, but their viewers certainly don't.
"Maybe Fox News pundits know better"
They are conmen. We can say it's trolling with a more substantial reward in mind than just provoking a response.
"but their viewers certainly don't.:"
They are not trolling.
Now the question is, how stupid do you think Joe is. Do you think he is actually so mindless as to not know the difference between Sanders earning money and Koch brothers or Bezos earning money? Do you think he actually believes that all who say we should tax the rich and improve the lives of the poor should stop earning money or be branded hypocrites?
I am genuinely asking, i have no idea anymore. When it comes to joe, i keep bouncing between "He can't be that stupid, he is trolling" and "Oh, he is THAT stupid"

Joe possibly understands the difference between Bezos exploiting workers and Sanders selling a book, but he also thinks socialists can't be rich, which is false.
So it's both trolling and ignorance.

Misleading in the sense that the troll doesn't present his actual opinions, just whatever they think will annoy the others
"Joe possibly understands the difference between Bezos exploiting workers and Sanders selling a book, but he also thinks socialists can't be rich, which is false. "
It's a possibility. Whatever the case the one thing that's sure is that you can't have a rational debate with him.

@zahlanzi saidYou all miss the two issues. Bernie often rallied against millionaires, but after becoming one, changed the phraseology to Billionaires. Hypocrtite. It is fact, look it up, even CNBC called him out on it. No trolling here. The issue is hypocrisy, but in the liberal process of all of you, you changed my issue to whether or not a Socialist can be a millionaire. Even ole Stupid Joe knows that. I. have often said that when y'all take over, I will simply fall in line and be a socialist. No problem. So I think this explains my issue, which was changed because you did not like it. Man up!!!

Second issue, this Tlaib person is a hypocrite, as she champions a move to allow people to buy food and clothing instead of paying rent, but requires HER tenants to pay rent. Hypocrite. But, true to form, you wrote all around that.
I love people to make a lot of money, like Bernie and the tlaib person. You all missed the issue. WHY keep doing that? And you all grouped up. A classic lib characteristic.

@AverageJoe1
And your references to Koch and Bezos and members of Congress, and who makes money, etc, are TOTALLY irrelevant to my simple two issues. At least I was spared Handy Andy!
Now, everyone go out and make money. And While I have your attention, Biden has orange skin. Should we start a thread on it?
@averagejoe1 saidI have a huge favor to ask of you.

Call Obama a socialist again. You haven't done it in a long time.
Common, do it. One little "Obama was a socialist". I would even settle for "Biden is a socialist".
@zahlanzi saidI don't remember saying O is, or was, a Socialist. I don't think he ever said he was, and since he never campaigned for govt control of production, I would say that he is not a socialist....although as you know he is all about big government.

Bernie, now he did say he is a Socialist, so I guess he is. I wish I could give you a better answer, but since there are a thousand tomes on this subject, and there is no definitive, unquestionable, definition, I cannot be any more specific than they are.
So I would say that he is, and that Obama is not. Thankfully, Obama is the one in charge, and not Bernie. Biden of course is in charge of nothing. Even the Afghan mess was prob managed by Obama.....bad advice, O!
@averagejoe1 saidNo, buddy, this one is too dumb even to mock you over. I simply don't have the energy to respond in detail to every brain fart you come up with, even when you don't sound like you typed after finishing a bottle of disinfectant.
@AverageJoe1
I answered you, can you comment for the group on my explanation above?
I hoped you were among the Obama was a socialist dumbasses but at least you admit he was and is center right.
Oh well, plenty more to mock you over.
@vivify saidIs that what's going on here? I was so confused.

@wildgrass saidThis will clear the air. I assume that 'they' is me. The post you refer to says that I said "Sanders should not be rich if he is a Socialist'. I have never said that. So your brothers are saying something that is not true, which makes me think that that is why you are confused.
Is that what's going on here? I was so confused.
I wrote a post here that says he was a hypocrite, and that Tlaib is (a worse) hypocrite by taking money from renters when she is part of a group decrying taking money from renters. Fact, and Simple.
You see now what I rail on about when I keep pointing out that 'the group' does not get issues,, and flounders to recreate posts to their liking.
Oh, I just get so angry (a lib word).
@zahlanzi saidSo you are not going to acknowledge what I just wrote...and just slither away with words like Brain Fart. Are you fellers debaters or not? If this were a stage debate, would you just walk off the stage, like Biden did yesterday after talking about Covid and saying nothing about leaving 10,000 Americans hanging in Afghan, about to be used as pawns???
No, buddy, this one is too dumb even to mock you over. I simply don't have the energy to respond in detail to every brain fart you come up with, even when you don't sound like you typed after finishing a bottle of disinfectant.

Weenie. I would rather be called brain fart than weenie.

Ah, so THAT is why you want to get rid of Biden and in your little fantasy world, replace him with your god king Biden because of all the MILLIONS of voter fraud done by dems.
And BTW, I heard it from rumor you have a TINY wennie AND do constant brain farts.
@sonhouse saidUhh, what do you mean by 'THAT'? You are not the best debater that I have encountered.

Hey, do you think my prediction that he will be gone by next summer will hold up? Actually, given this week's activities, he will prob do himself in before that. Just leaving the 10000 Americans I the lurch is reason enough,, don't you think??
