Got into two arguments with my boss over this, first last week and then again yesterday. I told him Bernie was beating Trump in polling in 2020. He denied and got mad. I was, of course, right, but I dropped it because he was so upset. Then yesterday he re-initiated the argument to tell me (puzzlingly) that Bernie wasn't even in the primaries in 2020. He made it sound like he fact checked it and I was like WTF, yes he was. So I fact checked him on the spot and noted how many of his precious neoliberal rags even noted that Bernie was the frontrunner until Super Tuesday. He still denies that the DNC screwed Bernie. Do not challenge the worldviews of neoliberals or DNC supplicants. They'll accuse you of being in bed with the fascists.

Why do you think all the founding fathers were landowners, slave traders, & trade merchants who became insanely wealthy during their revolution? The American revolution was just like the French revolution: a bourgeoise one. It was about trading the aristocratic ruling class for the capitalist ruling class. Working class folks went from having one set of masters to another. That's all that changed.
