    bruv if you don’t want the state to subsidize my $200000 gender studies degree you’re basically pinochet

    Easy straw man but gotta admit the dark satisfaction I get in seeing all the rich kids who had every reason to succeed in life go off and waste their undergrad with useless degrees (not that all libarts or soft degrees are useless because that’s bs too) at expensive out of state schools then point blame at everyone but themselves or be completely oblivious to the fact that they are blank loads of the wealth class they pretend to hate.

    Lot of them went to great schools and loved to brag but they got nothing to show for it except expired clout

    Synopsis

    Bernie isn't going to compromise just to appeal to some centrist dems. I'll go ahead and say anyone who isn't committed to fighting for the working class people isn't going to have a spot in his administration let alone as VP

    and i think that's a noble thing to do. unfortunately we both know that doing the right thing often doesn't pay off in american politics.

    There's three types of healthcare systems.

    1. Market Based
    2. Socialist
    3. Pseudo Market Corporate Socialism

    We are in the 3rd right now. 2 and 3 are trash. My argument does hold up. We arent a free economy.

    Also, other countries have tons of problems with their s***ty socialist run healthcare systems and cant sustain themselves which is why they borrow tons from banks and incur massive debt + high taxes

    lmao this thread is a joke. It's just a bunch of high schoolers
    Where tf did you get these three types hahahahah

    There's generally four types of models: pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/countries/models.html

    "Socialist" lmao I already know when someone uses this term they're speaking out of their ass

    I have sympathy for the situation you're in and agree people shouldn't have to deal with situations like that. I worked full time and rushed to graduate early in college to avoid debt. You shouldn't have to do that. However, it bothers me seeing people rack up as much as 6 figures in student debt all because of their own financial negligence and I don't think it's selfish to think there should be consequences for those poor decisions. Hell, I think it's selfish to not be accountable for your own mistakes and think other people should take care of it.

    the only way youre racking up that much debt is if you're going to law/medical school or something. most graduate students average 57k in debt.

    and i can't blame them. this is how we're taught to add value to society. go to school, become a doctor or lawyer, even if it means racking up debt.

    thats a bit simplified but still. im not gonna blame the individual for succumbing to systemic factors.

    s***ty socialist run healthcare systems that outperform us. Be a slave to the market if you want, thats your choice. bye now

    The U.S. has a trash system. That doesn't mean I want to replace a trash system with a less trash system when I can replace trash with good.

    Ohhh he continues to make up s*** about me. Hilarious because the last time he did this, he got exposed for being a total idiot who didn't know how polling worked.

    Don't worry when your lord and savior bernie sanders loses I'll be sure to ask you if you still think it's ok for him to say blacks should behave to not get shot.

    I'm at a weird place where I equally support Bernie and Yang. I truly like both of them, they are 2 people I truly wish to support. I just dont see Yang making the long haul at all which makes me more inclined to give Bernie the push he needs. I'd rather not have to vote for someone like Elizabeth Warren in the primaries. However as i've said before Joe and Kamala are literally the 2 worst possible people who have a high chance. If it's either of them against Trump i'm just not going to vote.

    Kamala has been done for a minute

    Unless something changes very soon, Bernie and Warren are going to destroy each other just like some pundits were predicting last year. There's definitely not complete overlap between there voting bases, but enough to where if either got out then the other would potentially become the favorite.
