I don't know Chavez in Venusula wrecked that country. Populism is in some ways the main flaw to Democracy because yeah people can be manipulated to vote in Tyrants.
I also don't think Bernie's supporters are similar to Trump supporters save for the fact they are both cult of personality campaigns. Also, both make very big promises that will be difficult to keep. Both are running as being outsiders of the established system of their party with a promise to turn inward and "clean the swamp" or "start a revolution". Plus looking back at the tea party and occupy Wallstreet (which rumors after they both dissipated being that they were both funded by Russia) and how they evolved into supporters of both Trump (Tea Party) and Bernie (Occupy)...... I don't know, there is enough smoke to make me open to the possibility of there being a legit fire.

It's all classified! But once the election is over, it's magically no longer classified. Trump effectively self-snitched on abusing classification to benefit his re-election campaign.

Exactly unlike Trump who never saw a crime he didn't like. I don't think Bernie or his campaign supports this. I do think them being in charge of America would at the very least put Russia in a better position from a realpolitik standpoint. Bernie would have us fall back internationally and even domestically his "Revolution" could cause chaos as conservative politicians (who are more fanatic than liberal politicians) have massive hissy fits.

Populism didn't wreck Venezuela. Chavez and Maduro being corrupt, thieving, incompetent pieces of **** wrecked the country.
Populism saved them from one hell, things were better for a while, oil prices ranked and clown governance.
But to circle back to your original point, yes, unchecked any populism and the leaders it brings to power are probably always gonna lead a country down a bad road. Bern will never get that dangerous because the Dems will check him.

Chavez wasn't that corrupt..... He was hella incompetent
Also, I am not saying they would govern using populism, but there campaign strategies rely on the regular themes of outsides vs. the corrupt powers that be, and basically power to the people. MAGA is a dog whistle just like the term Revolution.

You very well could have cheated or your explanation could be true. Though, based on the facts I would probably say your explanation is what really happened.

This is why I said there would likely be a lot of crossover between Bernie and Trump supporters

Reasonable people can agree to disagree.
What I find shocking is that she did not offer you due process, nor was she civil or respectful. That seems to be the real tragedy here.

Because every 20th century decade from the 1920’s to the 1990’s had its own icons and distinct aesthetics and everything since 2000 is muddled, I consistently under estimate how long ago the 80’s and 90’s really were and how close the the 1980’s were to the events of the mid 20th century.
While 9/11 was 19 years ago, in 1986, MLK’s death happened just 18 years prior. While the Republican Party was well under way dismantling the legacy of the Great Society, they had to wait for the legacy of the civil rights era and MLK to fade with time.
The story of Jeff Sessions says it all. In 1986, the richest and most powerful white men in America, had to pretend to care about civil rights for non whites. By 2016 and beyond, it’s been mask off.

Nah it was clean uppercut.
She was walking away from me and I was stepping forward to grab her arm, stop her, and her a hug. In one swift motion ole girl turn pivoted and fired off the punch while I was stepping and bending forward. Had my neck snapping like...
Worst part is that since was much short than me so she jumped to put more power in it. Ole hit hit me with....

Blagojevich, newly pardoned by Trump, compares himself to Nelson Mandela. He was convicted on 17 charges, including trying to extort a children's hospital.

She wanted to hear from the girl whose house I slept over at, but I invoked executive privilege.
The case is still working its way through the courts. I'll let you know how Judge Joe Brown rules.

Trump really ran a 30> sec. ad during a Celtics game I watched. It looked so BAD it’s like watching corruption in slow motion.
