Would you have corporations subject to some government regulation or none at all?

If your post is more than just rhetoric, then we could have an exchange of views. The way I see things, Biden, after stealing the nomination from Bernie Sanders, had to get real liberal to get Bernie's voters to show up on Election Day. ...

Schmuckle,

It was Hillary who sort of stiffed Bernie in 2016. Biden had nothing to do with Bernie at all. But, keep feeding us what Putin wants you to. It is really having a big effect here. Who knows, we all may become big Putin fans as a result.

But, you have a ways to go to earn your money that Putin is paying you. Better get on your knees. Putin does not like failure.

I think I'm beginning to understand you, John. You're a disenchanted Bernie boy. Well, listen, I was a Bernie fan, too, but things didn't work out. The problem with so many idealists, such as yourself, is that you refuse to allow for the good when you can't get the perfect. I have been pleasantly surprised by Joe Biden- an infrastructure bill, the Chips and Science Act, a lot of student debt forgiven, some control over insulin and other critical drugs just to name a few of his accomplishments that benefit everyday people. Take off the rose colored glasses, John, and you might see that there is a huge difference between Biden and Trump.

I remember, as a child, Bernie was mayor of nearby Burlington. My father didn't think it was bad that Bernie was a socialist, but others clearly did.

In general, I've thought of Bernie as being better than most politicians, but I've never really been one of his fans. He has worked within a broken system to get some good things done, including succeeding in imposing some of his agenda on the Biden administration.

I can tell you are idealistic, John. Just not very realistic. Still and all, we need a few dreamers to set the bar. Just don't be so hard on Uncle Joe and don't equivocate when it comes to Biden or Trump- I don't think there will be a place for any kind of dreamer under a tyrannical government, which is what Trump promises.

You presume to know what you're talking about.

Well, maybe you're hiding behind a persona and you really are a St. Petersburg troll.
