Thread: President of the US of A

It should come as no surprise that in 1971 Bernie Sanders was kicked out of a hippie commune because he wouldn't do any work and only sat around spouting socialist nonsense. When even the hippies think you're a worthless, lazy commie, you're pretty far gone. He's going to stick around until the end (waiting for HRC's indictment), because he's now got huge crowds unemployable, obsequious, sycophants who are willing to listen and cheer him on -- at long last his dream is realized.

Saddly I have to disagree, I am rather surprised by how many people I think are well educated, employed and non-millennials are backing him that I actually know and talk too..

The only thing that surprises me is that they whole-hardheartedly believe that his Brand of Socialism will somehow work when it has failed so many times in history ...

Cue the "Nordic Model" song n dance

Actually, the only predictable thing here is the persistent devolution to partisanship and sectarianism, but I'm more than happy to offer the so anticipated "Nordic Model song n dance"

Thanks, that was an interesting read. Hah! ha!! Love it.

I read variations in the same theme on several websites. It's not as if Sanders was a member of the commune.

Daloz writes that Sanders engaged in “endless political discussion,” while the residents seethed; one resident, Craig, “resented feeling like he had to pull others out of Bernie’s orbit if any work was going to get accomplished that day.” Daloz concludes, “When Bernie had stayed for Myrtle’s allotted three days, Craig politely requested that he move on.”

So the commune had a standard three day visitor policy, and Sanders stayed for three days and then was asked to leave. It's not that big of a deal.

I couldn't find that article...a little help please ?

HERE is one article.

If you google "bernie sanders asked to leave commune" you will find many variations on the same theme all based on information from a forthcoming book. It's not as if he was a member of the commune not pulling his weight. He came to get information about natural childbirth and got into political discussions with some of the commune members and others resented that the people who were drawn to his discussions were spending their time speaking with Sanders rather than working. ONE commune member, named Craig, was described the story because he “resented feeling like he had to pull others out of Bernie’s orbit if any work was going to get accomplished that day.” Given that visitors only were allowed to stay for three days, and Sanders was asked to leave after three days, this is a whole lot of a non-story.

You still deluding yourself thinking Hilary will be indicted or are you just wishing the big wish?

How about that?
