    "During an appearance last month on "The View," Sanders doubled down on his position: "I think that right now, our job is to address the crises facing the American people and our communities, and I think there are better ways to do that than just writing out a check."

    "However, on April 5, Sanders told Rev. Al Sharpton that, if elected, he would support Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's bill, setting up a commission to study reparations. "If the House and Senate pass that bill of course I would sign it ... There needs to be a study," Sanders said the National Action Network conference.""

    Based on those quotes, it looks like Sanders is riding the fence much like everyone else.

    But of course. Everyone knows they're just simple urban thugs who only care about drugs, gold necklaces, Cadillacs, fried chicken, and free stuff.

    Perhaps old Bernie is too old to climb up onto the fence, Pebble by Pebble.

    Are you still sulking over the thrashing you were given?

    Get over it, Pebble by Pebble.

    Thank you, education is a big one. I got out and pulled weeds in 87% humidity this AM. Going to sweat the cold out of me! The humid air was good for my lungs! I was able to taste my coffee, always a good sign.

    To me it’s the natural progression of where progressivism is going. Reparations, free health care, free education. Elizabeth Warren had a new proposal out yesterday about changing the private equity industry. It’s about fundamentally transforming the U.S. economy.

    Strange …...they have so much "ESOTERIC" information...no? Its like my pappy always said, "The smeller is the feller". The poster above really don't think and reason much....they post from emotion and suffer a great many times from "foot in mouth" syndrome ….along with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.

    By that token (see what I did there, racist?), older people vote for free stuff too. We vote for infrastructure, libraries, police and fire depts., public schools, Medicare, Social Security, etc.

    You're not very good at this, Pendejo.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    You're right. I replied to the wrong thing he had posted. I plead low caffeine levels. lol

    I agree with you about reparations. It's a stupid idea, but as usual the conservatives are exaggerating it into something larger than life.

    If anyone is owed reparations, it would be the Japanese-Americans interned in WWII, and every single Native American who lost his/her culture, language, and tribal identity to residential schools.

    Then someone has greased the skids on progressivism lol.

    Recall that the subject came up when the democrat contenders were pandering to Al Sharpton. I see the ‘study of reparations’ as a craven vote-grab.

    Not that that excludes the left’s lurch toward outright socialism.
