Hillary touts American exceptionalism...

[Human101948]

Jingoism never seems to go away. When Hillary put down Bernie by saying "this isn't Denmark" she encapsulated the stupidity that keeps the one percenters fat and happy.

Why should we look anywhere else for systems that work and people are happy with? Of course we shouldn't because we built "the greatest middle class in the world."

These same arguments and chest thumping have been used by right wingers for the past century to deflect us from national health care, family benefits, affordable education and decent wages.

1. This isn't Denmark . . .

which is why you might have $100,000 in college debt and can still die without health care. Nothing to brag about.

2. we built "the greatest middle class in the world" so the ruling class could...

...pillage and plunder it like an invading army.

Where is it now. We may have built it but it seems that we didn't value it and didn't protect it.

3. If you think she should "put down" Bernie in a political debate you are not being fair or

realistic. She is telling the truth and making sense.

4. You believe in American exceptionalism?

She was using a right wing meme to neuter his popular "socialist" ideas without actually calling him a socialist. (Because we know that attack has no legs for people under 50.)
