Bernie Sanders: Republicans Fear Retribution From Trump If They Congratulate Biden

Post by MotorCityRadioFreak » Sat Nov 14, 2020 10:31 pm

Bernie Sanders says he has spoken to several Republicans looking to congratulate Joe Biden. However, due to Trump's anger and uneasiness, they are afraid to come forward. They fear retribution from him and others on the alt right.

I've heard that Biden may be tapping Bernie for Labour Secretary. I can't think of a better choice.

Well, maybe one. But I'm not a US citizen.

It would be an excellent choice.

Bernie is the only candidate who even acknowledged the working class. But even he got it wrong. He says he wants to convert the working class to middle class. What makes him think we'll agree to undergo his conversion therapy?

You get far too concerned about this supposed class war. The goal is for $15 an hour which is what Biden has said he will fight for in addition to more fair labor policy. Personally, I feel that $15 is too much. I think $11-12 would be more appropriate personally, but I would much rather have taxes to go up for those making over $400K a year or more. Similar to how Eisenhower taxed the 1%. Trump had allowed far too many of them to have access to loopholes in the tax code.

I've heard several Consultants from a Republican side that suggested Trump will try to get any Republican turn on out-of-office who doesn't completely support him lock step.

I think you will see things loosen up when Trump loses, however everyone knows he will still be around and trying to disrupt during Biden's entire presidency.

I won't say the same about outstate areas. But anyone living in Metro Detroit that is unable to find themselves a job making at least $15 deserves to stay working fast food.

There are jobs available like that... but nowhere near what the market demand is...

DTE is currently, right now, hiring all able bodies. And they start at $25 an hour with great benefits.

I worked there for 4 1/2 years, so let me debunk that.

That is simply not true. It is $14.25 an hour in the call center if you can get in with DTE proper. If it is with a contractor, it is $12.50 an hour. That is after passing several employment and personality tests that are required for both union and contractors.

The field workers start at $17 for ground/meter operations. So, the $25 is probably for the bucket truck guys, which not everybody can do.
