Twitter exchange with a leftist - I attempted an intelligent conversation with a Bernie Sanders supporter - not sure if this is representative, but if it is, logic is useless
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders · 7h $4.7 billion a day.
$32 billion a week.
$141 billion a month.
$845 billion over 6 months.
That's how much 643 billionaires in America made during the pandemic, while 30 million Americans don't have enough food to eat. Yes. It's time for austerity for the billionaire class. FirstGen @FirstGenShooter · 7h You’re a million years old and still don’t know what the stock market is or how it works. Jeff Ford @utford · 4h He knows - but he also realizes many of his devotees don't know how it works, so he can get away with throwing out numbers like this without them questioning it. DirtBag Lefty ⓭ @iamjohnivory · 4h Neither of you can grasp the idea of selling stocks. It’s like inconceivable Jeff Ford @utford · 3h Who said anything about selling stocks? DirtBag Lefty ⓭ @iamjohnivory · 3h All assets can be liquidated for USD.
Anything else you need for me to slap down? Jeff Ford @utford · 3h Of course they can - but Bernie's attempt here is to claim that the billionaires are stealing from the working class while all that is happening is their stock assets are appreciating. And - I'm guessing that Bernie is counting it from the market bottom to the present also. DirtBag Lefty ⓭ @iamjohnivory · 3h A maximum wage of 1 billion hurt absolutely no one and would help us not be an international laughingstock if we’d just ban lobbying Jeff Ford @utford · 3h Pretty sure there isn't anyone with a "wage" of $1 Billion. DirtBag Lefty ⓭ @iamjohnivory · 3h Wage, Capital gains ...I really don’t care for semantics. Actually they only serve to obfuscate and avoid the substance of the discussion. Jeff Ford @utford · 21m It isn't wages or capital gains - I think you have proved my original point, have a good evening. DirtBag Lefty ⓭ @iamjohnivory Replying to @utford

Don’t even bother. Just block and move on. They are not rational and you will not get through to them.

Your first mistake.
True - Bernie posts complete economic lies, thought some of his supporters might actually be reachable with the truth. Most are too stupid to understand the truth, the others don’t care.
The other day on Twitter Elon Musk fought Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich over this issue.
do you have a link to that?
Socialism is responsible for over 100 million deaths and poverty for many times that number, yet you want to keep trying that failed 19th century idea again and again.
Here’s part of it:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1306131538694684672
And Musk was bad mouthing Karl Marx a few weeks ago.
In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .
Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

DO NOT look to any leftist for Logic/Reason/Truthfulness
Their ideology is not based on such things - such things are actually THEIR ENEMY
