In his most controversial act since taking office nearly seven years ago, President Obama on Thursday denied that he is Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn. "I am not the lead singer from Korn," Obama told a White House press conference, stunning observers with his brash exercise of executive power. His remarks broke an unspoken presidential tradition; since Washington, no U.S. president had ever used his bully pulpit to deny fronting the California nu-metal band whose "Freak On a Leash" hit No. 6 on the Billboard Alternative Rock charts in 1999

"The next time you hear me attacked as a socialist, remember this: I don’t believe government should own the means of production, but I do believe that the middle class and the working families who produce the wealth of America deserve a fair deal," he said.

i keep reading all these stories about how The Bern Man is right when he says the top 0.1 has as much wealth as the bottom 90% but neither he nor these stories refers even obliquely to the exploitation of labor or any other explanation so we're left with the impression that it's a vaguely crappy thing that fell from the sky irrespective of human actions

imagine if sanders won and he was like alright folks time to implement my plan to break up every major financial institution into smaller banks. i'll just pass this bill through congress which shatters wall street.

congress: yes, we will quickly pass this bill. we may not all be fans of yours but we definitely agree we should take on the combined might of US financial institutions.

wall street: well, the bill passed, and i think we learned a valuable lesson. we lost trillions in investments but that's life. fortunately sanders is very much a supporter of main street, so the economy will be fine.

insurance companies: oh now he's socialized health insurance. our entire industry is closing down. we'll have to make the transition as easy as possible for patients, since it's the right thing to do.

doctors: the government directly employs us now, which is fine with us, since we went into this profession to heal people, not clear a million a year tightening the skin on people's necks.

democratic socialists of america: thank you guys so much for being cool about this.

Ugh, finally the pressure is gone for us to advertise chicken nuggets to infants. We can spend that money developing cruelty free soy alternatives. Haha just kidding. It's called the Chicken McNugent and it's braised in the sweat of Guatemalan lettuce pickers and every thousandth purchase gets a real, tiny diamond with a severed black hand clasped around it

I'm not against voting for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders as the lesser evil. I do think that socialists should probably not spend a lot of time or money or ink promoting someone like Sanders instead of like... actual social struggles.

also henry c'mon man my point there wasn't "don't socialize health care" you nimrod, my point was that just voting for sanders doesn't actually make that happen, you need immense social struggle behind it, since like... they'll shoot bulworth.
