Pretty ironic cartoon on the heels of a few trillions dollars of stimulus money being shoveled out the door. In a pandemic, it would seem, everyone is a socialist.
But America has been a socialist nation disguised as a capitalist, where most of the pour gets help from other pour people, – wink, wink, we say “by members of the community,” – and the wealthy helps… well, you know the rest!
Ok; slowly so Ramirez and other follows of the almighty $ can understand…Bernie is not a socialist and this was not a revolution. Unless you consider it revolutionary to have your population covered for health care.
Interesting how Republicans decry socialism while waiting to be bailed out by the government. Ignorant of just how much “socialism” they are quite happy with I guess.
Mike, when your false messiah went on an attention grab hinting at a presdential run in 2011- but then didn’t follow thru- his faithful didn’t go away. Bernie’s supporters contain fanatics. They aren’t going to give up the dream. We will all be seeing them again. They are a faction but, like you, they won’t change, they are locked into their view.
First off, there are still other states to have primaries.
Second, we still have the Democrat Convention to look forward to. This year is going to be contentious. If you think that Biden is going to walk in and slam, bam, thank you ma’am, walk away with the nomination, you’re a fool.
Thirdly, regardless of who wins in November, Biden, Bernie, or even that idiot Trump, the social programs that Bernie advocates are good, strong, AMERICAN ideals. Education, health care, tax those who profit the most. Those are ideas that are never going to go away.
Look around, Ramirez. Trump went a long way to killing the GOP. Covid-19 and the vision of Bernie Sanders are going to finish it off.
So the ANTI socialist in the race is going to borrow 6 Trillion dollars and give it out like candy to his supporters? He has even fired the guy that was supposed to make sure it wasn’t stolen and he Fired the guy BEFORE HE EVEN STARTED
Ah yes… Bernie = Medicare for All = Socialized Medicine = Socialism = Communism = Lenin = Saddam Hussein, for some reason? Nevertheless, the revolution, such as it is, continues. It was Woodrow Wilson, working tirelessly for the League of Nations, who said: “I would rather fail today fighting for a cause that I know someday will succeed, than succeed in a cause today that I know someday shall fail.”
Instead were stuck with vicious right wing vulture capitalism lead by the party of greed and lies. The USA is sick, broke and out of work. How is that fascist Plutocracy thingy working out for you?
Any bets on how many out of work, or retired GOPers whose retirement funds just nose dived will suddenly be advocating Socialism to save the country, but doing linguistic back flips to rebrand it as some essential form of Capitalism.
It didn’t die, it just moved into the White House. All these socialist give away programs just to try and save Rump’s reelection bid. We couldn’t afford it when Bernie talked about it, but we sure can afford it now. What has changed?
Gee, the U.S. is going to loan and own most big business. And loan and own most of the small businesses that survive. Not much different than Russia or China.
Bernie “socialism” can’t possibly be any worse than the Pigs At The Trough Capitalism under which we currently live. I remember when being a 1%er meant that you were a member of a criminal motorcycle gang. They’ve apparently traded their motorcycles for Bentleys and chauffeurs.

Mr. Ramirez, we now have a choice between your Fascist dictator and a Nixon-era Republican.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard said, at Waterloo, “merde.”

Lenin was a “communist”, not a “socialist”. The two philosophies are quite different. And neither is the “social democracy” espoused by Sanders.
This cartoon shows that Ramirez is either ignorant or a liar… quite possibly both.

It is truly amazing how many progressive/socialist/Democrats closely follow Ramirez and post comments. They can’t get enough of it!
