That's actually a great picture. What do you call "economics", by the way?

If every government becomes corrupt, why give it more power?[/QUOTE]

What do you think the word "corruption" even means?

This is on pace to be one of Rogan's 2 most watched interviews ever, maybe soon. Only about 8.5 million away.

I find it improbable it passes Alex Jones let alone Elon Musk... I knew the top two before I even looked. You're saying it will pass Alex Jones... maybe... I don't think so.

It's not a lock but it easily could. It won't hit 24M but 14M is possible. Candidates are crazy not going on independent media more.
Also looks like the shortest interview Joe's ever had, one of them at least.
I do think some Democrat platforms are good like healthcare reform, although letting in illegals is prob the dumbest shit that they tend to stick with. I don't really hear Republicans giving a fk about the poor or middle class on anything. They'll appeal to manufacturing but that ship has long since sailed. Bernie is not a good candidate though, he has no chance against Trump.

On what do you base this assertion?
[QUOTE=Prometheus]On what do you base this assertion?[/QUOTE]1. They blue balled him in 2016, the DNC is split badly between corporate shills like Harris and Biden, moderates, and Progressives. They dont have a solid candidate because of it.
2. Trump is easily the best option from the GOP.
3. Incumbent Presidents historically win reelection most of the time.
4. The country is doing well economically, which is usually the most important factor for a president to get reelected other than maybe foreign affairs(we're not in any major wars atm).
Just to name a few.

[B]This is a good argument for why he won't get the nomination in the first place, not for why he wouldn't beat Trump if he did.[/B]
2. Trump is easily the best option from the GOP.
[B]Okay? It would be Trump vs. Bernie. Not sure what you're getting at here.[/B]
3. Incumbent Presidents historically win reelection most of the time.
[B]This is an argument, but a weak one. Trump's approval rating has been pretty bad thus far, compared with the last several presidents. And the very fact that he got elected in the first place is a sign that we are in unprecedented times. The past is no longer a great indicator of what will come to pass now.[/B]
4. The country is doing well economically, which is usually the most important factor for a president to get reelected other than maybe foreign affairs(we're not in any major wars atm).
[B]It's doing well for a select few.[/B]

[QUOTE=Prometheus]:confusedshrug:[/QUOTE]That's all that matters tbh, the middle class and poor always vote against their best interests. Why do you think fossils like McConnell are still in office? I wish guys like Yang could get some of their policies implemented but it's not gonna happen till it's too late or till shit rly hits the fan. Just how politics works in this shit country.

Times are changing fast though.
Historically, elections have been about winning the middle.
This time, it's about [I]getting non-voters, especially young people, to vote.[/I]
Bernie is the only candidate who would dominate Trump for this reason.
Long form interviews like this one help the candidates more than any tv appearance can. Although I

Yes, which is why Trump won when Clinton made her own states flip against herself.
Idk about that, it's not like all young people automatically vote Democrat. Especially with all the PC shit colleges are pushing these days. Some people just get sick of it, look at how people see the MSM these days.

Most of our laws are written by corporations or their lobbyists and think tanks, most of our government agencies are run by wealthy executives from the industry that the given agency is supposed to be regulating, upon retirement most of our lawmakers end up with highly lucrative corporate gigs in industries that benefitted from their legislation... how the f[COLOR="Black"]uc[/COLOR]k can the government have more power than corporations when the government is run by corporations?
