How about $1 trillion a year? Isn't THAT worth giving a damn about?




Your comrade just made my point for me. Thanks.




That you think anyone really has a say in anything this country or any other does militarily is the ultimate pinnacle of being ludicrous. Fantasy compounded by delusion.

Maybe I should start calling you Cap'n Marvel, because you think you alone have the power to take on whole military systems and I marvel at that.

Waste of time.

RUE: Awesome! Thanks for the useful information!

WISHY: If you really think that you don't have any say in anything, then just STFU and stay home and don't bother to vote.

That's a great cartoon! It's funny, it feels completely, sadly all too true. And it also illustrates why quoting from a platform or "statements on the issues" is so hard to trust, pointless even. Interviewers seem to think that's a hard hitting question, "so where do you stand on the issues?" And I can just hear some of them go, "f*ck! I knew they'd ask me that - we've been working on it day and night but just haven't finished it yet... there are so many goddamn issues! And they always ask me about the ones we haven't gotten to yet! B*stards! Who has the time to research all this sh*t anyway! I'll just have to wing it..."

Prove it.

Thanks, I don't anyway. But I like to play the "who could win if this country WASN'T run by a shadow government". There is too much money and other things at stake to just hand over power. It's all a puppet show.

It looks like people who have already identified the bloated military as a problem, and who have a history of criticizing the bloated military as a problem, already have statements. Bernie is an unfocused critic (his priorities are elsewhere); but he has no official statement because it looks like he's taking his time publicly putting out a comprehensive position statement.
