Morning Consult Poll: Only One Third of Democrat Party Voters Say the Democrat Party Is "Headed in the Right Direction"
Don't worry, when the choice is supporting Sanders or being carted off to reeducation labor centers, they'll support the candidate with appropriate zeal.
Also, Democrat voter enthusiasm may be depressed due to the fact they think Bernie will lose:
There are more alarming findings for establishment leaders in the Democratic Party: Morning Consult numbers also reveal that only one-third of Democratic voters say their party is "headed in the right direction."
"A 46% plurality in the latest poll said they believe Trump will defeat the Democratic nominee later this year, roughly matching responses collected after Iowa and New Hampshire," Mr. Yokley says.On the other hand, the Democrat Party has never been more united. A Bernie Sanders banker who works at Goldman Sachs leaked audio of a Bloomberg speech to Goldman in 2016. It will not endear him to the left.
He also mused about... the coming Reign of Terror.
Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg said at a private event in 2016 that his presidential campaign platform would have been to "defend the banks" and also labeled the progressive movement and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, now a rival for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, as "scary." When asked his views on the rise of the far right in Europe, Bloomberg warned about the rise of progressive politicians in the US, citing Warren. "The left is arising. The progressive movement is just as scary," he says. "Elizabeth Warren on one side. And whoever you want to pick on the Republicans on the right side?"
Bloomberg also endeared himself to the Democrat base by standing up for bankers -- whom the left calls "banksters," for some reason that I never understood -- and said of bankers, "these are my peeps."
... "Look at the income inequality," he said. "Anytime we've had this before, society blows up and they do set up the guillotines and the guillotines don't have to be chop your head off. They could be confiscatory taxes, they could be seizing the endowments of uh, educational institutions and um, philanthropic organizations, all of which those proposals are out there. You know, you're going to have to do something about this income inequality and a lot of it comes from zero interest rates."
Even as a Republican, I can only say, sarcastically: Thank God someone is finally looking out for the interests of hundred billion dollar banks, who barely have any kind of say in Washington DC! Joe Biden's campaign both Pounced Upon and Seized On Bloomberg's remarks.
"But seriously," he went on, "somebody's gotta stand up and do what we need. A healthy banking system that's going to take risks because that's what creates the jobs for everybody. And nobody's willing to say that. The trouble is, these campaigns in this day and age, really are about slogans and not about issues anymore. And in this election you're going to see people are voting and they either love or hate, mostly hate both, but who you hate the least. That's what they're going to vote for. And they're not going to vote on issues." Bloomberg added of the banking crowd, "these are my peeps."
This should be about the time the media begins talking up "chaos" on the left and the "civil war" in the Democrat Party. But they won't, because the Leftwing Propagandist Media Handbook declares that chaos and civil war are only permitted in the Republican Party.
"Now we know that behind closed doors, Bloomberg described his last-minute endorsement of President Obama in 2012 as 'very backhanded' and said that he thought 'Romney would be a better person at doing' the 'things that I think are important.' Bloomberg may have changed his voter registration but he's still a Republican at heart," Andrew Bates, a Biden campaign spokesperson, said in a statement.

If he's at 54% today as the Star Tribune Poll finds, it's over. Donald Trump is going to carry the state of Minnesota.
I've long argued it was a lighter lift for Republicans in general than some of the other states in which they exhausted resources.
His populism exacerbated it.

Goldman Sachs banker almost certainly means an investment banker. Which means they do sales and make most of their money on commission. People who do stock management or analysis typically aren't called bankers.

"Bankster" goes way back to the Depression era and before. It's a combo of "banker" + "gangster". Banker-gangster, Bankster.
I think it's funny and use it for Goldman-Sachs types and other Billionaire donor class types.

What's not to get? It's an amalgam of banker and gangster. Profit is immoral and bankers caused the great recession just before Lord Obama condescended to be our President and Savior. When the bankers demanded the taxpayer fund their perfidy, they became gangsters. Ergo: bankster.

It's kinda funny really. Nobody in the GOP tries to pretend they aren't at war with their voters anymore. But because the Dems live in Ben Rhodes' iron echo chamber, many are still in complete denial about the state of play in this angry, broken political system.

Elections are binary choices and if you are a Democrat you are going to vote for the Donk, even if it's Bernie.
Bottom line is the election is going to be close and it's going to come down to GOTV, a couple of swing states and districts and overcoming the massive voter fraud that is sure coming our way from the Democrats.
The Democrats are going to employ multitudes of Bob Creamer and his dirty operations group.
And they have to be hunted, exposed and neutralized.

Seattle already basically did the housing for all thing. They made it illegal to evict someone during the winter months. Additionally, it takes a few months of non-payment to evict someone.
So all a deadbeat has to do is subtract the number of months it takes to be evicted from the official start of winter and BAM! That's the last rent check you have to fill out for half a year.

If he's at 54% today as the Star Tribune Poll finds, it's over. Donald Trump is going to carry the state of Minnesota.
I've long argued it was a lighter lift for Republicans in general than some of the other states in which they exhausted resources.
His populism exacerbated it.

Once they realized that the SHTF, Goldman Sachs famously offloaded their toxic derivatives (i.e., ones in their own account) onto unsuspecting customers, talking up the promise of the derivatives so they could get rid of them. I consider this to be totally unethical.
So anyone who has any business relationship with them should have his head examined.

If they can entice the under 30 somethings with promises of killing/hurting Fascists, that alone will be significant.
Additionally, there are far too many LEOs out there who didn't serve in the military and who never got drilled on disobeying unconstitutional orders.
Sure, there are plenty of conservative cops who learned this stuff at home or somewhere else. However, there are plenty of cops who got indoctrinated to the left the same as countless other public school kids outside of conservative enclaves.

These movements always use a rabble to get the party started. The "loyal" police will stand back and let the rabble do its thing before moving in and restoring"order." Over time, this takes longer and longer until it doesn't happen anymore. Further, the network of informants expands to allow the loyal police to do their midnight raids. Raid one neighborhood, and 100 people will fall into line.

Obama, after his sleepovers with the Castros, lectured Argentinian schoolchildren:
"So often in the past there's been a sharp division between left and right, between capitalist and communist or socialist. And especially in the Americas, that's been a big debate, right? Oh, you know, you're a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you're some crazy communist that's going to take away everybody's property. And I mean, those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don't have to worry about whether it neatly fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory -- you should just decide what works. And I said this to President Castro in Cuba. I said, look, you've made great progress in educating young people."

I'm a pessimist by nature, but think we're going to be safe in 2020. Unless something (I don't know what) is drastically changed...as in our abysmal education system and the complete destruction of the MFM...it's only a matter of time that that unholy trifecta of the next D president with a D House and Senate will happen. Considering what their party has turned into, it's a horrifying thought. And it will eventually happen. I wish I was wrong. I so wish it.

But It's a Wonderful Life (Jimmy Stewart) shows the difference between the caring neighborhood banker and the ruthless Potter. China is now playing the predatory loan game, and end up with strategic assets in Africa or around the world.
But the global bankster game is a whole nuther game ... they got special rights, bailouts, and escaped criminal prosecution by threatening our own government with global contagion. They really are a globalist bankster cartel. (see "All the Plenary's Men" on YouTube to better understand their power/influence)

There was a meme that went out that shows the math on that. But even republican friends of mine were fast to squash it as "fake news", because the math was wrong.

People please. Fractional reserve banking means that you don't have all the deposited money sitting in a pile waiting to be withdrawn. If you've lent out 50% of the money deposited by customers and have 50% in cash sitting in your vault, that's fractional reserve banking.
Currently the required reserve ratio for banks of any significant size is 10%. That is for every $10 deposited, $1 is not doing anything.

On an aside, banking is the world's second oldest profession.
Posted by: Tom22ndState at February 25, 2020 06:52 PM (L9UlH)
Unfortunately, fractional banking has a loooong history in the US, starting in the colonial period.
There have been a few periods where there was a shift to non-fractional banking and free banking where the banks undertook their own risk at overissuing against reserves, but that was mostly post Jackson to pre-civil war, but it was not universal and the Treasury allowed "backing" by treasury bonds.
Peel's Bank Act in England did try to force fully species backed banking, but they left the door open for counting demand deposits, which were lent out, as allowable funds for reserves, allowing yet another avenue for fractional bank reserves

It's the kind of thinking that led to Mike Tyson blowing $300 million. When you have that much cash, you start to think you can buy any fool thing you want. Problem is, it's actually possible to blow through that much money.

Unless there was something explosive in the car, this sounds like a garden-variety cry for help. Lighting a rag in the gas tank fill port won't cause a Hollywood style explosion. At most you'll get a vigorous fire, and even that will take a few fives of minutes.

you don't have all the deposited money sitting in a pile waiting to be
withdrawn. If you've lent out 50% of the money deposited by customers
and have 50% in cash sitting in your vault, that's fractional reserve
banking.
Currently the required reserve ratio for banks of any significant
size is 10%. That is for every $10 deposited, $1 is not doing anything.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/ monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm
Posted by: Someguy at February 25, 2020 07:10 PM (Zm+LZ)
The problem with fractional reserve banking, say 10% of today, is that if you get deposits then you get to claim the deposits and loan it out again, and then you have 190% of the amount you claim, which is is worse if you can do it a number of times.
This in of itself is not a bad thing, but it does create money out of nothing which both adds to inflation AND makes money easy to borrow which causes misinformation in the market to what is best to invest it, which is essentially a bubble which then deflates to recessions when there turns out to not really be a demand for what you thought.
With the deflation, everyone is trying to sell off their goods and properties and trying to get back on their feet again.
hard money regimes (specie is traditional) mean bankers are mostly looking for investors to loan money out to customers, where the bank gets mostly a handling fee, and avoids most of the wild swings that you get from fractional reserve banking.
That deflationary part is what Krugman (former Enron advisor) fears because of his fear of a liquidity trap where the sell off is so great that everything is locked down like gridlock in Portland until things start coming back.
Krugman never admits that the best solution to any problem is not endless tinkering, but instead to not have it happen in the first place.
Specie has its problems, for example it is hard to give boosts to favored industries and to make nice sweetheart loans to close friends, but it does damp down the gyrations of fractional reserve generated inflation and subsequent defaults.

personally I have no problem with an investment bank that offers loans beyond the holding, or loans out the savings like a savings and loan and building group, but they better be willing to go insolvent and default if they can't meet demand deposits.
