There are no parallels there. But, you're just proving my point that we are unlikely to see a major shift in a candidate in the foreseeable future.
President Joe Biden

You didn't answer the question.
My 401(k) did quite well before I liquidated it into a mix of IRAs, real estate investments, savings accounts, and other financial instruments. I see my best investments of all were seeing that my children all started out their adult lives with a little cash and no significant debt.
You see what you want to see Daddy...I see polar opposites...neither one will be elected.
Trump will go to jail and Bernie will continue moving left, that will put an end to that nonsense
If Biden runs again it will be a miracle...If Joe completes his term it will be nothing short of a miracle
PS: If the far left think they can win a national election with Bernie, by all means run him...
If the dems thought they could win with Sanders they would have. Ergo, we have Biden. They were right I suppose.
No politician gets everything right, but Sanders does care about the people. The neoliberals and republicans don't care about anyone but themselves. Those folks are looking for their piece of the pie, while Sanders is making sure everyone has a piece or at least access to the pie.
Not every policy he has is right, but if it's not clear we need some changes in this country. With neoliberals and republicans it's just a race to the bottom.
The best place for Sanders is in the Senate, where he can stake out a position without worrying about Presidential re-election chances. His Vermont supporters fall into two broad generalities -- liberals who appreciate his socialist leanings, and working-class people who benefit directly from policies he supports.
Just by accident, I found out that one of Sanders's key staff members was someone I knew as a child -- he lived just down the street from me for 8 years. We got in contact after a FB post I made that showed his father, the local doctor, claimed to work 112 hours per week on the 1950 census (that's 16 hours a day, 7 days a week). We joked that almost everyone in Vermont feels like they know Bernie personally.
Bernie's platform sounds awesome. Free medicare, free college, free child care, free Pre-K, eliminate all medical debt, eliminate all student debt, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed employment for all. Bernie is a "free loaders" wet dream. If anyone knows how to mooch off the government (or actually taxpayers) it is Bernie. I believe he is sincere in his beliefs, maybe more so than most politicians, he is just clueless regarding the feasibility of his proposed policies.

The harassment went beyond the digital realm. Trump supporters broke into the home of Raffensperger's daughter-in-law, who is a widow with two children, Raffensperger testified.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said his wife received 'disgusting' sexualized texts after he refused to cave to Trump's election pressure

So no 401k, no property, maybe an IRA and "other" financial instruments. Sounds like a great way to retire... said no one ever.

No house payments, no car payments, credit cards paid off every month, affordable and complete medical insurance, and money in the bank. I never imagined it would be this simple.
Even the IRS has backed away (at least for now) on their claims for more taxes on my 2017 income.

So you sold your property prior to this current (2021) real estate climate. I guess your timing was off.. and if your living off of savings your losing money to inflation. Again..not a good plan. But having your house paid off ( if I recall you're in a condo) is rarely a bad thing...
The gas tax holiday always seemed like a gimmick to me anyway. But I do think it's worth noting, as a centrist, that for all the pandering Biden did the far left didn't show up for him at all. You can't work with those people.

I can't point to an exact date, but sometime in the 90's... the typical American POV on the 1st Amendment went from being a right Americans saw as sacred; into the boring / dusty thing, that folks today think is ruining the internet.
Exactly!

You sound like a bigoted idiot.
While you're probably not a bigot, you are an idiot.
It was actually partially the right's fault when they went to the Supreme Court to get an exemption for the flag to protect flag burning and when they came out against movies, like The Last Temptation, which they thought were blasphemous. On the left there was Al Gore's wife and the rap records.
As they say....it's either all o.k., or none of it is.
It's interesting. I heard from my first supervisee a few days ago. Left the law to go into real estate almost 15 years ago now. He specializes is UMC DINK mini mansion housing. He's calling everyone he knows to try and drum up business. Haven't spoken since prepandemic so we got to chatting...it may just be his particular market but he basically says the bottom has dropped out and it's generally much much worse than the media has acknowledged and he's far more worried than he was in 2008. Again, might just be given his market sliver but his sense of it is the middle middle class market is getting hit just as hard....it's like the titanic where the iceberg has hit but people still don't see it going down....will when those adjustables start defaulting he says.
