The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Bernie is a clown. A millionaire himself, he hates too much success so doesn't want any billionaires. Only parasites like him should have power and money, you see."

Here is yet another example of your poor sources of information making you look foolish and causing you to irrationally hate. You are forced to make up laughingly stupid descriptions of your opponent's views.

I say that as a person who is not a Bernie Sanders fan. At all. I have never voted for him and cannot ever see myself voting for him (I would only vote for him in some weird situation where him or an authoritarian Trumpian minion were my only realistic options). I have lots of problems with Bernie Sanders' views and policies but at least let's argue against his ACTUAL views and policies and not some dumbass made up idiocy.

This is why we can no longer have nice things in the U.S.A. A large enough portion of the voting population use terrible sources of information that lead them to be unable to accurately describe the positions of the debate.

It is exactly why you voted for Trump and now regret it.
