  1. So the shooter who was a bernie supporter wasn't from the left?

  2. " semi auto weapons are easier to obtain than handguns," Most handguns are semi auto.

  3. The democratic party is very close to dead. It is divided and has no connection with the common man. After 2020 they will either have to change or die.

  4. Ever thought they are moderates that want to see opposing viewpoints? Or that they want to give opposing viewpoints and have a discussion? Why don't you watch right wing channels? Why do you live in a bubble?

  5. Freedom of speech is supposed to be peaceful. This wasn't. This was disruptive.

  6. He has always been far left and radical. Now that Trump is successful he is doubling down on his radical stance. You see that in this video and his Kavanaugh video.

  7. From a business standpoint Kyle is smart. Why debate Shapiro when he has nothing to gain? He will look like an idiot, but his audience is full of idiots. All he has to do is cater to them.

  8. Actually the US spends money to prevent violence in the world.  There will always be conflict in the world, the US pushes for a peaceful way to solve them.  I guess we can sit back and the conflict can become larger and larger, or we can try to solve them. If you want to look at history as a whole the UK was worse.  It just took over land, the US tries to prevent violence. Seems like Harvard students don't know much.

  9. Kyle admits he does not read his comment sections which doesn't surprise me considering how he works in an echo chamber. Still waiting for him to have guests on his show.

  10. If that is the best you have than you are in trouble.

  11. I say equal to the national median, or maybe 1.5 times the median, but tied to the median in some way so politicians have an incentive to push for policies to raise wages. And not of working people, but of those who are unemployed as well.
    13
  12. Most on the right want to reopen the economy as they know that elites are the ones benefiting. Notice how the elites are the ones keeping pushing the shutdowns? Easy when they have a paycheck. At what point will you guys realize the left is not your friend and will go this far to try to win.

  13. It isn't that. It is that she is creating a system that is unequal. So if two people graduated at the same time, one with debt and one without, why can't the one without debt get money back? The person with debt just received a product for free. This is why so many oppose the far left. It is, in a lot of ways, rewarding failure.

  14. Uh, Kyle is wrong. The House, according to Article 1, Section 2 Clause 5, has the power to impeach. The Senate is essentially the jury. Article 1, Section 3 Clause 6 talks about that. So the Senate does not "impeach" anyone, the House does. The Senate make the decision on removal or not.

  15. Millennials are getting older and becoming more conservative. This is predictable.

  16. How would a background check stop this shooting?

  17. For one, with a simplified tax code people can save their money as opposed to being forced to spend it for write offs. Our tax codes forces this kind of behavior. Also, a lot of this is people living beyond their means. Most lottery winners go bankrupt for a reason.

  18. There is essentially no evidence against him. You can't deny someone based on accusations. If you set that standard than both sides can do it and no one will be allowed to hold any position. Kyle does not give strong reasoning for his ideology being poor.
    13
  19. Religion is about faith. You really can't be certain about it, but with faith you can believe it is. Kyle is wrong on his stance in saying it isn't true that there is a god or a higher being. Just like someone can't say there is a god or a higher being with 100% certainty. Kyle has a weak ass argument and is not being tolerate here of other people's faith.

  20. "He would gut the government. " And that is bad how?
    12
  21. Without watching the video I can guess what Kyle will say. He will preach about Bernie or the policies he supports.
    12
  22. A fun fact: At the federal level we are not a democracy.
    12
  23. Look at it like this. One problem we have is that doctors who refuse to help people and instead just prescribe drugs. A lot of people with mental problems need consoling or simply a sense of belonging, not drugs.
    12
  24. Great, republicans won. Time to undo what Obama did. I love this. Maybe the democrats should try to serve the people instead of themselves.
    12
  25. Rights are things the government can't take away from you or can't force you to do. So no, healthcare is not a right. Based on your ignorant statement you should not vote.
    12
  26. So. Do not cross the border illegally. It is that simple. You break the law you suffer numerous consequences.

  27. The flag, to many, represent southern pride. During the war many fought for state rights. If you look at the history of the US we were still less than 100 years old and the idea of limited federal government and more state rights was strong. Considered that after the War of 1812 a federal individual income tax was proposed to pay for it and was shot down. Why? Because the federal government was never supposed to tax the individual as they were not to have that power over the people. When the south lost they were ridiculed and became destroyed economically. Thus people still wave the flag.

  28.  SamoaVsEverybody814  not really. If Biden does become president republicans have an easy path. Democrats only message was "beat Trump".

  29. You described all media. What source out there is completely factual? Look at youtube videos. There are ones of experts giving hour long talks and going into details of complex issues. There are also click bait videos and top 10 videos and cat videos. The views speak for themselves, the latter three get far more views. In relation to the media they are going to present stories in a way to attract viewers, not give out information. Even Kyle does that himself.

  30. Maybe this virus should be a sign that many of our "leaders" and elites do not care about us. While mayor deBlasio tells people to not go to Time Square on NYE him, his wife and some of his buddies enjoyed it dancing. They enjoyed Time Square on NYE without us peasants.

  31. She is"educated" but brought up the fact she is a black woman which is irrelevant to the situation. A lot who get a PhD are insecure.
    12
  32. It is fact checking to a degree. The paper never said medicare for all would save money. However, Bernie is saying that it would. Bernie is misrepresenting the study.
    12
  33. What's the big deal? This is typical with major companies with a lot of money. People want an easy dollar (see Bernie Sanders supporters), thus they will sue people that do. Insurance companies see, on average almost 1700 lawsuits a year. Energy and retail companies face around 300 a year. I guess the bright side of this is that it creates jobs for lawyers.

  34. Kyle, seriously shut up. This is why your party is losing. There was violence on both sides at this place. At least people on the right like Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder can admit it. You can't.
    11
  35. That is more of poor money management on their part.
    11
  36. They are feminists. I would not complain as this is probably the most exercise they will get this year.
    11
  37.  @Scuuurbs  a lot of people take cabinet positions to better themselves or their friends in the future. Even with selling assets you do know he has connections in Raytheon that he wants to do favors for.
    11
  38. So why doesn't Kyle debate any of these people like Crowder and Shapiro?
    11
  39. For three months? That is a long time.
    11
  40. This lady is on Medicare and still can't afford healthcare.
    11
  41. I like how Kyle continues to get things so wrong. How can people take him serious at this point?

  42. Lock your daughter up in a padded room then. Life had dangers, you take a risk simply leaving your home. Reality is your chances of being murdered by a gun is very very very small. And depending on where you live almost zero.

  43. Pelosi was a terrible speaker. The policies she supported sucked.
    11
  44.  @thalesnemo2841  the problem is that the government is having us fight ourselves. It has divided us. On Wednesday's event at the capital the horrible part is that the average American was hurt as in the cops, security, and the protestors. It should be the politicians and members of the media we should be fighting, not each other.

  45.  @dylanholt9906  ,yep. Kyle does not understand that the estates tax does harm "normal" people.

  46. Dav, 1. Again, wealth does not equal income. The Walton family own half of Walmart, as in the shares of them. Shares are not food, homes, cars, etc. Shares are essentially portions of a company. But let us keep it simple to give an understanding of wealth. Say I were to give Joe, a savvy business owner a business, and Bob, a person with little business skills the exact same business and wait it out for a few years what will happen? Joe would have a much higher net worth as he has business skills and would develop his business up to be worth more. Bob would not. In fact, chances are Bob will regress in wealth. Why? Because Bob has little business skills. So what am I getting at with this? You place a business in the right hands it increases in wealth. In the wrong hands it decreases in wealth. You support wealth redistribution. So that means you support giving up portions of Walmart to many Bobs in the world. The Walton family is Joe and you want to take parts of that business from Joe and give it to Bob. What is going to happen? That part of the business Bob runs will decrease in wealth. As for the food situation I suggest you read down the comments. The truth is that due to a tornado there were power outages and the food became spoiled. 2. The military is more than just "bombing countries". Besides that, the point on helping PTSD veterans, we lack doctors and mental care specialists to offer help to all of these veterans. That is one issue. Throwing money at a program does not magically make doctors appear. Also, if we cut social welfare programs for free loaders we would have more money for our veterans. Many on the right support that. 3. There are loopholes for the poor and middle class as well. However, I support two forms of a federal tax A: A tax on the states like we had pre 1913 B: A federal flat income tax and a consumption tax I agree the loopholes are bad, but that is what you get with a federal government with too much power. A major problem we have is that many want to tax the rich at a high rate just because they have more money. So we allowed that and eventually we created this massive tax code with loopholes. But when one pushes to simplify it and remove loopholes you end up removing loopholes for the middle and lower class. As a grad student there were uproars about how our tuition waiver was going to be taxed. I was the only one I knew that supported it as I knew it would simplify the code. My thought process was simple, if you are going to allow that loophole to exist then you open the doorway for loopholes for the rich. It goes both ways. A maximum wage is an extremely dumb idea. People would just be paid with assets at that point. " What do you say to the 45,000 people who die every year for lack of healthcare coverage" Very misleading number. One, that is 0.01% of the population. We have around 30,000 deaths due to traffic accidents a year. We have around 40,000 new cases of HIV infections a year. Where is the government driving that number down to zero? Two, in other countries people die. Three, that number is not accurate. Poor health is associated with poverty to begin with. There are higher rates of obesity, type II diabetes and smoking with the poor, all self inflicted. So the question becomes do they die due to lack of healthcare or due to poor health to begin with? "If you are so sure the government is doing it's job and representing us and our interests, and that the status quo is fine: " From there you list some problems. Resources are limited. Government does not have a magic wand to fix everything. I mean, why hasn't government funding in research find a cure for HIV? Why hasn't NASA research colonize Mars yet? Why hasn't the NIH funding create teleportation? I feel that government can do much better in serving us, and I have my opinions on that. But you are pushing for impossibilities at this point.

  47. No, it is stupid. Jobs are easy to create, wealth is much harder. Giving three people a job that one person can do is a complete waste of resources.

  48.  @pwalker1360  I agree. TDS is so strong that people will find any excuse to go against what he says. HCQ has little to no side effects and experts are saying it has positive effects with the virus. The media is so quick to rip on Trump but praise Cuomo who has mismanaged this virus issue a lot. Overall, the reality is that this virus is showing not to be that dangerous where the media is trying to use it to take down Trump.
    11
  49.  @Xavio354  , and that isn't an argument. So if he wants to be that shallow than he can. I just won't respect it.
    11
  50.  @libidinistlyn  , I feel the same way about Christians calling other religions dumb. The fact is that it is a poor argument and shows he has no desire to understand those people's position.
