Well now my untreated ADHD needs to sort them all into houses. Trump is very clearly House Lannister. Gold toilets? Tywin Lannister had one. The Bidens/Dems are obviously House Stark, steadfastly obeying all the rules, even to the point of death. We need a determined Targaryen on dragonback to disrupt the whole feudal system. That was Be…
Well now my untreated ADHD needs to sort them all into houses. Trump is very clearly House Lannister. Gold toilets? Tywin Lannister had one. The Bidens/Dems are obviously House Stark, steadfastly obeying all the rules, even to the point of death. We need a determined Targaryen on dragonback to disrupt the whole feudal system. That was Bernie, but he's too old now. Sigh.
If I'm being honest, Trump is Targaryen-ish, except he hasn't broken the system, he's just exposed how easily corruptible it is.
House Targaryen ruled for over 300 years because they had dragons. But once the dragons died out, House Targaryen fell swiftly and dramatically. There's a metaphor in there somewhere with irl politics today, and someone smarter than me will find it lol.
Sometimes things need to burn so something better can grow in its place. If everything was going great in America, neither Bernie nor Trump would exist.
I will never understand people who fear Bernie Sanders more than Trump.
Fire is fire. A controlled fire can help clear out the underbrush. An out of control fire burns down the forest, with no guarantee that the forest will grow back. Something else might grow back. It's the "let's burn it all down, with no thinking, crowd" that I find particularly dangerous, regardless of why they want to burn it down.
Bernie Sanders is a genuine patriot who has loved and served this country faithfully for decades. No scandals. No drama. A truly dedicated public servant and just a good human being.
Bernie would actually drain the swamp. The Oligarchs of this country would never allow it. They prefer to own their politicians like JD Vance and Clarence Thomas.
Yep. As you said before, some people fear Bernie more than Trump. I think some of this is due to people feeling like they are losing out and admire/want those who fight to keep their own stuff and maybe take someone else's. These guys might think that they will somehow benefit from proximity to these takers. Low/no concept of the common good.
Bernie destroyed his own prospects by not joining the Democratic Party. You can’t expect to be nominated as president of a rowboat if you won’t get inside the boat.
If he had joined the party he’d have been president.
I’ve never voted for Bernie but to include him in a paragraph with Trump is ludicrous.
Bernie helped move the US a little to the left, and that’s ok. I can’t imagine thinking it’s acceptable for people to earn $7.25/hour while working FT and trying to raise a family. Paying some attention to the climate is a worthwhile endeavor. And corporations are the devil.
I don’t know how much longer we’ll have him. I hope it’s a long time. He’s a treasure.

Dragons burn everything down. If you are willing to wreak destruction, you scare the others into submission.

I mean leader of a rowboat.
