The comment I posted the graph to did, that's the whole point and it is true wealth inequality grew after 2008.

How does it do that? It's commonly accepted as the metric for measuring inequality, I'd like to know if there are better metrics, enlighten is.

And I'm mocking you for supporting such a ridiculous narrative attacking me.

I choose this graph specifically because it disproves his point that the rich did not do well after 2008, which is obviously false. Wealth inequality grew under Obama, it was not some liberal magic that stopped it during that time.

It's organized that way because it's a section about the Great Recession.

Here's another example for you: https://apps.urban.org/features/wealth-inequality-charts/

Oh no, looks like it did get worse.

Go ahead and enlighten us.

It's not difficult.

Facts are on my side, so no.

It does not. They presented no data to back up their claims.

In late 2017, ahead of a series of hearings, Facebook, Twitter, and Google (YouTube) gave Congress data sets of tweets, images, and other content determined to be linked to the Internet Research Agency. This analysis is an investigation of what was provided in the data set to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

So literally nothing explaining how it's connected.

The report that it's referencing has no evidence, just accusations. If they have evidence they would show it.

Based on what? Nothing.

It doesn’t work because of our voting system

Then vote for candidates that support ranked choice voting.

Bernie and AOC and others are being a fuckton more successful than third party candidates have been for the entire history of the nation.

At controlling potential third party voters and pulling them into the Democratic party so they can maintain their personal wealth.

They definitely need more support to overcome the entrenched forces against them, though. That’s why they need people like us to support progressive candidates in primaries, and we need more people like them willing to do the hard work of getting into the democratic party and changing it from within.

Super delegates are not debatable. They prove the party is undemocratic, and a lost cause. The entire purpose of the justice democrats is what you said, and they failed.

The democratic party will not change, and will not save impoverished people in this country. Another party will.

And don’t forget voting third party when they have no chance can cause great harm. I would have thought the election of 2000 would’ve been enough to sear that into all our minds forever.

You do far more damage voting for Democrats and then complaining that they have bad policy. They would be forced to have good policy if you instead left with your vote and supported the Green party.

It literally is true, you just don't want to research it and would rather form your opinions based on your emotions instead of factual data about where our money goes.

The claims are literally wild and unsubstantiated. A woman trying to run for president has the right to. If democrats are going to make the accusation then they need evidence.

What was the meeting about? What did they say to each other? You don't know and don't care.

That didn't work, Bernie is an independent that tried running as a Dem, but undemocratic super delegates and a biased media stopped him.

AOC and the justice democrats also failed and do whatever Nancy Pelosi says

The gini index. Clinton is a big reason for this. He passed trade deals like NAFTA that screwed American workers and made wealthy business owners even richer. Republicans tried to get it passed for decades, but only Clinton was able to.

Wealth inequality increases the same whether Democrats or Republicans are in office.

You insinuated my argument defending Jill Stein against being a russian asset was not a credible defense. The accusations against her are wild and unsubstantiated.

The US repeatedly told Israel

While sending them 3 billion a year, if they wanted them to stop they would threaten to stop sending the money.

I agree, it's shameful.
