Bernie Sanders made his speech criticizing the opulence of multiple brands of deodorant and shoes being sold while children in the world starve.

Speech was made under the banner of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream; a food company which makes over 100 different flavors of premium ice cream

Bernie is not arguing, contrary to what Tankersley suggests, that we spend too much buying deodorant. This should be pretty obvious as he didn't talk about the quantity of deodorant being consumed, but instead the dizzying (and socially useless) number of products in the deodorant category. The massive prizes our economic system pays out to someone who can capture deodorant market share with slick advertising may indeed incentivize them to innovate new branding strategies, but, Bernie amusingly asks, would cutting that incentive really be so bad?

This is what politics has devolved to. Ignoring real issues that have real consequences in favor of soundbites and slogans that no one really believes, but many people repeat. No one seriously thought Al Gore claimed he invented the internet. No one seriously thought Howard Dean's scream made him unqualified to be president. No one seriously thinks Sanders blames childhood hunger on deodorant. These are all distractions from honest political discussions.

How could you leave out "no one seriously thought Barack Obama was born in Kenya"?

Fucking racist.

Deodorant isn't serious. It was a fucking stupid analogy. No one wants Bernie Colonel Sanders opinion on the pit market. If you want a serious discussion then talk about something serious.
