You'll find that while he's been talking outrageous BS he's also been playing around with tax break etc everything to fix his clique!
If you buy that line : )

As opposed to Bernie Sanders who was and is promoting a break from the US style of capitalism, to socially responsible capitalism as is practiced in most capitalist countries. And fwiw, the Dem candidates seem to be slowly coming to the realization that's what it's going to take to win the Dem nomination.
That's expanding somewhat on the original question on 'establishment' but it's the logical direction in which to take this discussion I think. Your thoughts?

Any of those you've listed but 'grownups' would be my choice. ;-)

Originally posted by Freyr View PostThe establishment or ruling class are a class of people in society that exercise authority and control far in excess of their contributions to society. This power is used to acquire wealth that is greatly disproportionate to their own endeavors. For example, today in the United States, the average CEO makes 400 times what the average entry level worker makes....
It's contrary to the 'American way' which impresses on the people that if they're poor then they're not working hard enough, and that if they all work harder then they can become the president too! FFS!
So the Dems are running shit scared of the chance that Bernie could be their nomination. Because the Dem party is just as much 'establishment' as the Repub party.
Take it to a thread that is appropriate if you're interested. This one's about Korea.
