sanders wont even be alive by 2020 tbh


if he is healthy enough at the time he can live to be 79...


people can live to be over 100 right now

the ~80 life expectancy factors in people who dont make good health decisions

campaigning like bernie did is actually good for his health because it made him active

the biggest killer is laziness

also interesting, most of the oldest living people in history are from the united states

Sanders is running again for senator in 2018 meaning if he wins he'll be serving until 2024. He's planning to live for that long either way, Sir Amelio.

Funny how the media and #NeverTrump Republicans are suddenly bending the knee

Snopes clarified the Harambe thing as false, by the way. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a few write-ins tho

That feel when I would've probably been one of the 25,000 people who voted for Harambe, if I voted..

As I sit here drinking my Starbucks coffee, I cannot help but think that my fellow Bernie supporters are heartbroken. Down with the big corporations and their tax dodging.

I don't believe anything I said included nonsense logic. You said ">orange tax-dodging billionaire says he'll bring the jobs back if they vote for him." so I replied by saying the only reason he was able to dodge taxes was through loopholes voted in place by Hillary Clinton and she, too, was abusing them.
As for corporations, I said continuing to raise taxes on them will hurt the average corporation much more than the large ones that you seem to tunnel vision on when hearing the word "corporation." Some corporations have the time and money to take advantage of the loopholes put in place, others do not. Boosting from a medium sized - large sized company becomes harder and the larger, tax dodging corporations have just that much more of an advantage. Raising taxes on these large companies will have little effect, much like lowering taxes on them will have little effect. Lowering taxes, while it does incentivize certain large companies who have the ability to go off shore to stay, helps those average sized companies.

After you got called out on that nonsense logic, yeah. You tried to say you were talking about billionaires as opposed to large corporations (which is what you said), and your logic still didn't hold up, considering both groups still pay a lower percentage in taxes than the working class and small businesses.

That was a full quote from you in reply to me mocking Trumps idea of lowering corporate taxes to incentivize job growth. What more could I have grabbed, Ohdear?

You can tell what kind of community you're dealing with just by seeing that Jill Stein has more supporters than Gary Johnson. You don't even need to point out the fact that Hillary also has more supporters than Trump.

Makes sense that a cancer community of SJWs would have a liberal majority.

Or you could not take snippets of what I say.

>Ohdear: HRC would have raised taxes on corporations driving out jobs

>Ohdear:Fun fact: HRC is complicit in the creation of tax loopholes to allow corporations to dodge taxes

This is how Trumpster logic works.
