How? Republicans won and Kyle's ideas continue to lose.

Aaron, you can keep saying that, but democrats continue to lose and your leader Bernie sold out to the democrats. Also, he is a part of the problem. While "millions and millions" of people were becoming "sick and tired" of working longer hours for lower wages, and the "poor were getting poorer" he bought a third becoming one of those rich that was getting richer.

Almost everything Justice Democrats are pushing for is regressive.

"It'll take sometime for nominees to be picked" Who are you going to pick? Elizabeth Warren just approved Ben Carson, so is she still acceptable? I have a really hard time finding people.

"One of his tax reforms cuts mortgage insurance premiums for mortgages worth $200,000, adding $500 to the annual cost. That is raising tax on the middle class in effect" That is not raising taxes on the middle class because it is not a tax. Not everyone has a home loan and those that do are not insured by the FHA. He just canceled a cut to see how the housing market will play out, he didn't raise anything though. "Yes he is lowering taxes but most of the benefits appear not to be going to the lower class and middle class and more to the well off" That is subjective considering how the "well off" have been paying for the vast majority of the taxes to begin with. "I get you don't like Bernie due to the identity politics aspect of his platform, but what he says about income inequality between the well off and poor isn't a myth. Look at this article on it:" Those is so much one can say about that Stanford chart to show how it is deceptive. But I will say this. The years they look at all start around the 70s. What happened around those times? You had the expansion of the payroll tax in the mid 60s. You had the creation of the EPA and OSHA, both arguably frivolous agencies. You started to see an increase in immigration who, at times can be people who are not as skilled (depending on where they come from) and so on. So there are several reasons why that trend is occurring and a lot of it can be due to the expansion of the federal government, something Bernie wanted to do. We had the department of education being created in the late 70s and federal spending on education was stagnate until the early 70s until it went up. There is a strong correlation between the expansion of the the federal government in the 60s and 70s and that income gap starting to grow. " Does that seem fair to you? That there are so many homeless people in the richest country in the world, that CEOs made 185 times more than the average worker?" Depends on how you look at those numbers. If you were to take the top 6 executives of Walmart and spread their yearly salary to the 155,000 lowest paid workers in Walmart, those workers will get an extra $147 a year. That's it. CEO pay went up because you have a larger workforce thus they are responsible for more. Saying we are the richest country in the world is meaningless. Rome was rich and had problems. Same with France at one time and the UK. Yes, homeless people are a problem. But Bernie never mentions that at all in his campaign. "They experience that, when they cant afford to pay their bills with two fulltime jobs" Only around 5% of the nation works multiple jobs. "Anti-rich isn't a thing in this context, its just being rational to say that isn't capitalist. Its unfair, corporatism" Corporatism is the result of big government. We have not been a capitalist society since the 30s. We have been expanding the federal government since the 30s and now are seeing the results a few generations later.

David, Justice Democrats don't think. Look at what they are pushing for. It took zero thought in creating that list.

Cadoe83, what has Wolf-PAC done? What has it accomplish? During its time republicans won and Bernie lost. TYT is also not doing well in in terms of views and their comment sections is littered with Trump supporters now. They are becoming a joke.

This will never work because it is doubling down on what has been leading to the democrat defeat to begin with. Under Obama the left has been pushing the rhetoric the country is full of racist, sexists, bigots, greedy assholes that are driven with capitalism. All of that isn't true. But the left has pushed that idea of that is the case. It has led to hate and divide in this country. With pushing that mentality the left has created the idea that we need the federal government to establish a moral compass with society. They developed the idea we need the federal government to end racism and sexism even though it doesn't exist, or forcing the rich to pay more to provide healthcare and education. This is why Trump won. He took advantage of the environment the democrats created and made them look bad because the democrats have no policies that actually work to run off of. Doubling down on these ideas is not going to work. All Justice Democrats will accomplish is more republican victories.

To start, yes, Trump is doing what he said he will do. He is working towards lowering taxes. He is working to end the free trade agreements. There is no need to crack down on Wall Street, we just need to stop bailing them out. The difference is that Bernie, like Obama and many of those on the left, created fear and monsters. In Bernie's case it was the rich and Wall Street. He blamed them for all of our problems and said we should attack them. He created class warfare. Bernie also pushed the idea that the pay gap is true when it is a myth. He said that if you are white you can't be poor. He had no policy to fix the illegal immigration problem we have so he is siding with them. He had an identity platform as well. When Bernie was challenged on his economic policies he gave the same answer of attacking the rich. That's it. If Trump really attacked any group it was the government and politicians themselves, mainly democrats. It is true what he said. People have suffered for the past few years while politicians have become richer, like Bernie Sanders owning a third home. If someone on the left were to avoid discussion of racism, sexism, or attacking the rich in this country then they might win. But as of now the left has become polluted with identity politics. It is to the point that someone on the left really has to call it out to stop it.

Aaron, do you have a reason why you feel that way?
1
Aaron, while you can find individual cases of sexism and racism (like Bernie saying if you are white you can't be poor), as a whole it is not an issue. "we need to budget our money so that we can invest in our own people and get them educated and healthy because that will do nothing but boost the economy." You don't think that will occur in the private sector or with individuals? You don't think employers want healthy workers that know what they are doing? "Bernie could have definitely won" He didn't. Much like the 1998 Vikings could have won the Super Bowl but didn't. " trump won because he went against the worst candidate in history." Who Bernie lost to, so what does that make Bernie?
1
" he said they should pay their FAIR SHARE" Which is what? The top 10% earn 40% of the income by pay around 70% of the federal income taxes. We already have a progressive tax code. Bernie saying "fair share" is him being deceptive. "he was wrong about the wage gap but that can be fixed with education" Overall females are more likely to get a degree than men. But issue is that women rather go after low earning degrees such as elementary teacher where men are more likely to go in the STEM fields. Women are attending college more than men. "and he did NOT say if youre white you cant be poor." Yes he did. "we have the lowest amount of illegal immigration in FORTY YEARS." Not true. " how is running on investing in our own people and have everyone pay their fair share in taxes" So you support a flat tax? Bernie doesn't. I read the rest of your comment, you are a joke much like Bernie is. In the end he lost and so will this whole Justice Democrats thing will.

Owen, Bernie endorsed Clinton, that is how he sold out. Also, in the end he bought a third home. So while "millions and millions" are "sick and tired" of the "rich getting richer" and "working longer hours for lower wages" he goes out there and buys a third home. But, on selling out, many Bernie supporters felt that he sold out. "There is a thing called investment that the man had saved up his whole life" Yep, just like the Walton family running Walmart, but Bernie has a problem with that. Same with the Koch bothers. Or really any business owner. Bernie has a problem with business owners and want to tell them how to run their business even though they are the ones who made he investment. It is the hypocrisy of Bernie. Bernie can be well off, he can do what he wants with his money, but others who want to be well off apparently can't. "Steven Crowder is not a reliable source of information" Never said he was, but neither is Kyle. "Also, how does Kyle's idea's 'continue to lose'? " Bernie lost, democrats lost to republicans, Elizabeth Warren just approved Ben Carson, universal healthcare was voted down with almost 80% of people voting against it, universal background checks on guns in Maine failed and barely passed by 0.45% in NV simply because of Clark County (all other NV counties are not going to enforce the law). People are not voting for the ideas that Kyle is pushing for.

Ebon, the fact that federal politicians are corrupt is why the founding fathers wanted limited government to begin with. What Justice Democrats will do is give those same politicians more power. They are literally adding fuel to the fire.

This is a scam to build up Kyle's value. Just like Wolf-PAC made Cenk and Ana worth millions.
1
It is a scam much like Wolf-PAC was.
1
Not really. People can be fooled easily. To me this is a scam. What has Wolf-PAC accomplished? People are not doing well but Cenk and Ana are worth millions. This is similar to Bernie preaching about the problems in the US and how the poor are getting poorer and people are working longer hours for lower wages, but he buys a third home. Kyle just got a new studio which was pointless, and he got it off of donation money. TYT hires more workers and is now showing more shows on their channels like The Jimmy Dore Show, Aggressive Progressive, Ring of Fire and just recently he had Sam Seder on there. In all TYT is expanding, getting bigger, becoming richer, but their programs like Wolf-PAC failed. I see the same thing happening here. In a couple years Kyle will have a better studio because of this money. This is a scam.

Yep, 5 states in 5 years. In 28 years they can get the 33 needed to pass the amendment at that rate.

trier, they run the scam so they can fill their pockets. Cenk and Ana are worth millions. Also, those few donations they get are not going to pay for those new hires.
1
Yes, Cenk is worth millions. "The videos of tyt are getting much more views than any other alternative media " So. More people watch Jenna Marbles. Will you consider her to be great? "Democrats and Wolf-Pac are real opportunities for your country to become a democracy again" We never were a democracy. "But if you want to be a part of the Trump movement go ahead" Fine, I like a strong economy and unity as opposed to TYT who feel our country is full of greedy, racist, sexist assholes.

" He who has money and is rich is not by default a scammer, schemer, and a bad person" I agree. ":You don't have to be poor to fight for the less privileged and do the right thing." I also agree. " but if Bernie made his own way in a manner that wasn't horribly unethical I'm not going to shit on him for that." And the Walton family made their own way as well along with the Koch brothers. But yet Bernie feels the need to attack them. That is the problem I have.
