Not being bothered about "war-mongering" and corruption is worse. The people are already unhappy. Its worse because you are still burning your hand in the sink with the hot water being turned on and doing absolutely nothing to turn the other faucet colder while your skin is blistering...

If you look at the actual results at how the US government actually represents the people in terms of opportunity and measures of the gini coefficient I would rate our federal government as about 2 out of 10. Our government has been highly ineffective when it comes to educating the most amount...

I was almost on board until you said Democrats. Its not the Democrats they are (directly) unhappy with. Its the monopolization of money and government and the resultant corruption between the two. The Bernie supporters are just as angry with the Banking and corporation monopolies as the...

Rape. And society at at large could care less about it. Yes there are some women in jail but it is a bit more unusual and difficult for a woman to rape another woman. But if a woman could be raped in jail there would be all kinds of people (especially the feminists) looking into to it.

There is also an "orders of magnitude" difference in the penalty for rape versus the penalty for lying about rape. Maybe that has something to do with who has more incentive to lie.

It happens everyday in the penitentiary but neither you or anyone else in the world gives a shit.....because they are men.

Your math does not add up. When you add the Bernie supporters to the Trump supporters, that's fully 1/3 to 1/2 of the entire population. Lets be conservative and say 40% of the voters are currently populists, either left or right. Your argument is 40% of people have deluded themselves being...

Who determines social interest of the taxed industry? The committee of the golden geese? Whatever you call it, it sounds more like communism than free market capitalism to me. I agree with Barbos, free market capitalism will not work unless money and private property still has trading value...

This reminds me much more of "South Park". It should be noted these unprofessional representatives (who act like children) are being paid 3x the average income of the typical US taxpayer. That might be ok if we wanted bread and circus comedy but they are supposed to be making policy and not...

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, self-described democratic socialists, are examples of modern left-wing populist politicians. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez's populist message tend to place the people in opposition to big business and the very wealthy...

I think it is also magnified by not having term limits. The counter argument to term limits has always been that new faces aren't experienced enough to do the job. But at this point in time, there is so much corruption as to surely better to get rid of that than for any advantage of experience.

The Revolutionary War was fought for America's independence from the British. For freedom and liberty. That's why they call they call our founding document the "Declaration of Independence". Maybe there were slaves or others mistreated during the war; I wasn't there so I can't say. But the...

Are you claiming Bernie Sanders was receiving his funding from the Koch brothers and the Mercer Family? I did not know that. Bernie Sanders was heavily involved with the liberal populists movement right after the 2008 banking crises but I did not know he was funded by conservatives. You are...

It is not the governments job to make anyone happy. But it is the governments job to make sure everyone has equal opportunity and make sure the laws are fair for everyone. The populism that developed during the banking bailouts did not happen because of poverty. They happened because those...
