Written in our universes language: "Bernie Sanders released a plan that will absolutely never happen and caused literally every single person that isn't a worker to laugh until they couldn't breathe anymore."
I'm failing to see the problem here - most people are "workers" and this will benefit them. Anyone not workers will..... presumably die from laughing? Win/Win - what's the issue?
The issue is the government is run by ~~parasites~~ non-workers and anyone who wants to even stand a chance needs funding from ~~parasites~~ non-workers.
If only they really would stop breathing, that would be nice lol
Ending a statement with "lol" always reads like nervous laughter to me. You're fine. Well, you seem to have a head full of some interesting non-information backed conclusions, but that's not the end of the world. The posibility you might change your mind exists so I'm not going to freak out over that.
Relax. Everything is going to be ok.
It's a bit of nervous laughter sometimes, but it's more to show that it's just meant as light hearted and a bit of a joke. I don't really wish death on anyone.
As for the rest, it's exasperation. Venting about the state of things and how they appear. My own ignorance and all that jazz.
