As if this campaign season has not been enough of a circus with #DonaldTrump versus Megyn Kelley from Fox News, then #DonaldTrump versus Carly Fiorina, what happened in Oregon yesterday takes the cake. We had our own Communist and Socialist circus act come to town in the form of a #BernieSanders campaign stop. The Moda Center (aka The Rose Garden) usually home to the Trailblazer basketball team was the “big top” for #Bernie, as the admitted Socialist Senator from Vermont is known. According to many press outlets, he attracted 28,000 people to our fair city, though some friends who attended (and provided the film below) who are intimately acquainted with the space as Blazers fans say that the crowd was fewer than 19,000.
Now on to that film, brought to you by @PulpPortland on Twitter and RandomStuffPDX. I think it pretty much speaks for itself. The first one is a delusional youth who is under the spell of Kshama Sawant who is an admitted Socialist and City Council member in Seattle, WA. You might know her as the poster child for the $15 Now campaign to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Yes, that is in fact the same move that cost Seattle’s restaurant community dearly when they started closing at an alarming rate-taking the economic illiterates quite by surprise.
Then we have the candidate himself promising his loafing followers the usual Socialist utopia selling points: “Free college tuition for all, the rich are to blame for the woes of the 99%, we can just make income inequality go away by taxing corporations and the wealthy”, you know the usual Socialist tripe.
Because, as I mentioned earlier, $15 minimum wage worked out so well for Seattle!
And of course, all the dead people voting-not happening! It’s all a right wing conspiracy!
This insanity is what we are up against people. So no matter what happens in November 2016-do not sit home, do not sit on your hands-get out there and save our Republic people! GOTV!
His values are almost identical to the policies West Germany has had for ~30+ years. Remind me how that is awful again?
