ay bernie completely torched this fox news townhall i'm in disbelief
 

how could fox even let this happen? he straight roasted the hosts & had full crowd support and participation while calling Trump a pathological liar and stating he's taking on the military industrial complex on LIVE FOX NEWS TELEVISION.


i legit feared for his life during this thing this dudes energy is at an all time high somehow

He owns four different million dollar homes. Don’t be fooled.

what a fucking legend, absolutely slapping these morons around

He’s been saying exactly the same shit since the 1980s
Fooled about what?

you should watch the video v, he addresses his income

but to be clear, me & people like me are not mad at "wealth" we are mad at the ultra wealthy who dodge taxes, fund legislation to benefit their business', exploit workers, etc. bernie voted against the tax bill that cut taxes for the wealthy. if you fight for the people and for good moral things then we don't care

I was gonna make a thread asking you how you felt about this

He did extremely poorly. His good bits were targeted at people like you who already lean towards him/fully for him. He did nothing to earn moderate and undecided people.

according to who?

that's 1 way to look at it. another way is FOX just lost half its userbase to OAN (one america news). Trump roasted FOX today, but we already been saying they're sheep in wolves clothes for the past 6 months.

Tbh, I don't like Bernie that much, but this argument against him bugs me, ignoring their values being closer to half a mil (though with DC prices, I'm sure his house there is worth more than it was in 2016)

One's his home in VT, ones a spot in DC, ones a vacation home somewhere?

The home in VT I get. The DC one isn't uncommon practice. With how long he's served it would be financially irresponsible to rent the whole time.

Considering the salary that he + his wife (who is/was some bigwig academic admin iirc) has, it makes sense they'd buy a vacation home. I know teachers, accountants, etc, who buy vacation homes.

He has actually laid out pretty specific stuff about how people like him would pay their share in his ideal world, more so than most polictians.


Video was cringy to me. Questioners were generally good, Bernie had some good answers that went on too long, but most of them felt like I was watching a 'greatest hits of 2016' vid, and the pundits asked some of the worst questions I could imagine. I get that they have an audience to appeal to, but it says a hell of a lot when the average shmuck from the Lehigh Valley is asking better questions than the professionals... But they're continually paid for such terrible work because enough people profit enough off of it

Thanks for rekindling my dark cloud mike

nice i was literally typing out that exact explanation of the house situation and was like fuckit

his message in this and in general recently is really different from 16' imo. but i do think he brought up healthcare too often here, and failed to mention enough about low wages during the unemployment rate section, maybe my only critiques

honestly i'm just blown away at the balls he has to say 'your network isnt respected in my world but im here anyways' like jesus i almost spit my drink out

Ive never had negative feelings toward bernie. And perhaps i should do research and learn more about him. Im nowhere near as politically knowledgable as i should be and thats dissapointing when i think about it. Smh

me

abortion til birth, snarky and run around talk about his taxes, wanting prisoners to vote (looool), and poorly presented his medicare plan. he gave as much insight into how we'd pay for that as trump did about his wall.

if I was going to vote left, I'd be voting for andrew yang at this point. unfortunately i can't participate in either primary so i'll wait til the end. i'll vote for bernie over trump personally but I know he didn't do well with a lot of people i know that could be swayed from trump.

i guess he has to fight for the left though cus you're all against eachother like a bunch of drooling doofuses though so what do i know

you don't think prisoners should vote?

i would support a system that allowed that as a right to low tier crimes. murderers, pedophiles and rapists should not be part of our society in a communal way.

but hey. the left supports sexualizing children if they identify as trans cus it's sO sTrOnG n BraVe and supports killing breathing living babies so I guess they don't mind those fellas.

No one supports killing living breathing babies, dumb ass

DAMN RITE WHY DON'T HE JUST SEND 52% OF HIS MONEY TO THE GOVERNMENT GOT EMMM

Trash tier for even gotcha journalism. Reminded me of that segment on Parks and Rec, but dragged out forever... Then trying to paint him as elitist with the special congress health care plan

Maybe I'm just seeing the same pitfalls? It seems like he's getting caught in the pitfall of owning the term socialism when he has to know he's not likely to get more support on that term. But I caught a lot of the old Bernie in watching most of it. Health care for all, wealthy paying their fair share, pandering to young, semi-educated without really talking about how he can make an appeal to the general public and to the other side of a compromise. Glad he replaced 'break up the big banks' with a bit about infrastructure. Tbh I don't think it's on him that I don't see much new material since most questions directed towards him, fox News or audience, are gonna be based on what's heavily known about him, which is all the 2016 primary

You’ve done 0 research into anything relating to abortion laws in the last year if you think that. Don’t call me a dumb ass because you aren’t educated on something that you feel must be fact if you’re pretty sure it is maybe. Prick.

shit tier moderating. should have asked him about the socialist in Venezuela. bret baier is a turd.

Lmao
Point me to the “it’s ok to kill babies now because that’s totes abortion” law
