  1. All the drain the swamp trump supporters must be so proud of their leader wanting to protect the swamp.
    239
  2. The I am not a scientist line is their way of saying I don't care about science it is just too complex so don't try to give me evidence I won't listen.
    234
  3. You know Biden is old when he think people 60 are the "young" voters he needs to win over.
    207
  4. Time to replace Nancy Pelosi with Shahid Buttar.
    193
  5. Biden should come out and say if the ACA is repealed by the courts he will have no choice but to lower the eligibility requirement for Medicare to birth.
    193
  6. Sure but does she like beer? I mean really like beer? Because apparently that covers all other sins.
    150
  7. Funny how all the sudden fox is worried about selling fear. Guess they will stop all the fear mongering about immigration now.
    135
  8. Well he better fire his VP too because she has been on a podcast talking about her past pot smoking.
    90
  9. Nancy Pelosi won she got to go home and have icecream delivered. When you are worth 100 million dollars you don't have to worry about unemployment benefits.
    89
  10. If the democratic party is scare of first past the post they should stop fighting ranked choice voting.
    66
  11. The correct answer is to pass the green new deal and end the oil wars.
    65
  12. Wow John McCain's daughter sure did own herself there....
    65
  13. The GOP has one guiding principle. The ends justify the means. We only need to study history to know how that ends.
    65
  14. This is also why we need Medicare for All. When everyone using the same healthcare system it will work because they entire country will use it wealthy and poor alike.
    57
  15. No the best thing would be for the Democratic party to actually pass legislation that helps the working class. Oh but the wealth don't want that.
    55
  16. Trump said get him out of here please to his overweight supporter and the guy still claimed he loves trump afterwards. This is what a cult looks like.
    53
  17. Apparently he didn't get the new talking points from Mitch McConnell and Ron Desantis.
    48
  18. I can't even form a mental image of what Mueller in a panic would look like he is as steady as a rock.
    44
  19. We need to have the Carter center oversee the rest of the election. This election is too important to have this cloud of uncertainty hanging over it.
    38
  20. The GOP learning that they are winning the Darwin awards.
    38
  21. Time for progressives to withhold their vote for her next term as speaker. Force her to either vote on Medicare for All or let someone else be the speaker
    36
  22. Because strip mining for coal is much better for the local wildlife. Lol
    34
  23. Taking the oil is literally a violation of the Genova convention
    32
  24. We need rank choice voting to end the spoiler argument and end the 2 party monopoly
    30
  25. Nancy Pelosi has a constitutional duty to hold the impeachment hearing as the head of the house if there is reason to believe trump has committed high crimes and Misdemeanors.
    28
  26. When the facts are on your side argue the facts. When the law is on your side argue the law. When neither is on your side pound the table.
    27
  27. What we need is to give people a UBI during the pandemic and let people pay all their bills same as always. Otherwise we play wack a mole with every bill anyone has.
    27
  28. The Democrats have to take a page from trumps debate book and get all the Ken Starr trump and Epstein survives to sit in the front row of the Senate trial. Make trumps defense team face their victims during the hearing.
    26
  29. That is right you should only protest in the privacy of your livingroom where it doesn't disrupt the public... You seem to have a perfect grasp of what protest is all about. Bet you also believe that you need your second amendment guns to protect from a tyrannical government.
    25
  30. AOC proved the way progressives win is to grow the voter rolls with the younger generation who are also mostly unplugged from cable news anyway. Independent media is where the Bernie target audience is anyway. The entire election cycle depends on who shows up to vote the under 40 crowd or the over 60 crowd. The younger generation has the numbers and AOC showed us how to get them to the polls.
    25
  31. The question is who will replace trump once he is in jail.
    25
  32. The fact that Warren can't decide if Bloomberg supported Biden or People supported Bernie Sanders is more in line with her policies is tragic.
    25
  33. He literally said bussing is how most kids get to school when someone else asked him. Trump is clueless.
    21
  34. This is what happens when both parties have the same donors. Nancy Pelosi is doing what her donors tell her to do. Everyone needs to contact their senator and congressman today and tell them point blank to support Bernie Sanders platform for handling the crisis. Otherwise they will continue to all be just a different shade of corporate currupt evil. The lesson to learn is voting for the lessor of two evils still leaves you with a government which is evil and doesn't have empathy and compassion for the citizens. Europe knows this they have governments which are supporting the citizens in this crisis.
    21
  35. When everyone has Medicare for All the doctors will have to choose between accepting it or retirement. So yes you can keep seeing your doctor unless he retirees.
    20
  36. The people attacking Bernie Sanders are not worried about beating Trump. They are trying to insure the working class is defeated and falls back in line. They are scared to death that the wealthy elite might have to give up some of their wealth and power to fund the social safety net which protects the poor and working class.
    19
  37. When ICE knocks on your door just strongly deny that your an illegal immigrant and they will have to let you go because all the trump administration can do is ask the question....
    18
  38. Oh the irony of Feinstein complaining about something being too old.
    18
  39. The GOP can never again say they are the party of law and order or constitutional originalist now that they are throwing out both the constitution and the supreme court ruling.
    18
  40. So according to Fox propaganda logic removing the demand for a product will help the manufacturer of that product interesting logic there. Because the green new deal is 100% renewable energy to replace the demand for ff. Tucker Carlson must think buying a Tesla is beneficial to ExxonMobil and Russia somehow.
    17
  41. So basically the Billionaires are holding the government hostage. Got it.
    17
  42. Nope sorry but the plutocrats have made sure that social democracy is not on the ballot come November. Only neoliberalism or fascism. However you can vote green party.
    17
  43. Yes this is why we need the Carter center and the UN to oversee the election process.
    17
  44.  @colorblindboxing7207  the fact that you have any stock portfolio makes you part of the top 20% of Americans. Because 80% of Americans don't own any stocks at all.
    16
  45. This pretty much sums up the problem with our November election. We have told the public you can choose neoliberalism or fascism. One will shoot you in the leg the other will shoot you in the heart. The public said but we want social democracy where they don't shoot us instead they provide us with healthcare and a social safety net. But the media defenders of the status quo made sure social democracy wasn't on the ballot come November. So I am voting green party. Because I don't want to be shoot in the heart or the legs.
    16
  46. We are now living in south park.
    16
  47.  @miker.9138  ask Joe Crowley and Kennedy how it feels to run against progressives
    15
  48. Benjamin nailed it with the disingenuous actors. People need to drive that point home. My brother is a far right extremists and he is always disingenuous in his arguments so I exnore him.
    15
  49. How much do you want to bet if Bernie Sanders had made the very same comment the media would call him antisemitic for the rest if the campaign because the bulk of the population wouldn't know what it ment anyway.
    15
  50. It is class warfare and my class is winning - Warren Buffett
    14
  51. Time to nationalize the drug companies
    14
  52. "Donald Trump privately thanked me for not impeaching him" Nancy Pelosi Which side are you on? Which side are you on?
    14
  53. Tulsi Gabbard has a good video out supporting the 4 of them as well as calling out trump. Tulsi is not as direct but it is a good supportive message.
    14
  54. You forgot the 1946-
    14
  55. Let's just apply her logic to abortion. We won you lost 40 plus years ago get over it.
    13
  56. I was honestly expecting when he said we all have children and adult family members that need to vote for trump that he was going to follow the Lt Governor of Texas and talk about families dieing for trump.
    13
  57. If the Bush administration was held accountable Barr wouldn't be the AG today. He committed crimes the first time he held the job and was let get away with it. That is why the Trump administration put him in as the current coverup man.
    12
  58. Right wing logic you have to protect the unborn but once the kids are born the old testament makes it clear leaving them on the rocks for the wolves is perfectly acceptable.
    12
  59. Yup even judge Napolitano pointed out the delay was the crime.
    12
  60. We don't need advice from the Hillary Clinton campaign which lost to trump.
    12
  61. I want a choice in who provides my healthcare not who makes me go bankrupt paying for it. The "choice" in insurance argument is just a corpate talking point. When you are facing a cancer diagnosis do you want to have to choose a payment plan? I would much rather simply have the ability to ask my doctor who is the best expert in dealing with my issue. Besides I have never had a choice in my insurance company. The corporate HR department makes that decision for me. My employer tells me if you work here you have to pay for this "benefit" unless you can prove you have insurance from elsewhere. As a single person ofcourse I don't have any other coverage so I have no choice but to let my employer take money out of my paycheck and give it to the insurance company they picked for me.
    12
  62. Wow trump supporters are harder to flip than Republican senators like Graham.
    11
  63. This is why we got trump in the first place. The lack of any plan to help people is why the voters voted for a strong man who told them everyone would have healthcare and it would cost them less. It didn't matter that they knew he was a used car salesman they also knew the alternative would do nothing for them. We need to end the neoliberalism. The centrist corporatist have totally failed this country.
    11
  64. Everytime he speaks it sounds just like Hillary Clinton telling us we have to be pragmatic and not try to do important things.
    11
  65. Corpate American neglecte cost human lives. I hope they win this case but I suspect the two latest gop supreme court justices find a way to say the companies have a right to kill the public because it would have cost profits to replace the old lines.
    10
  66. Maybe if she failed to fill out full disclosure on her application it will be built in grounds for impeachment down the road.
    10
  67. The establishment is scared because they know that the voters overwhelmingly support Bernie on the issues so they are trying any non policy based reason to attack him on.
    10
  68. Send Nancy Pelosi a message that it is time to fight back. Vote  Shahid Buttar and get a real progressives to replace her.
    10
  69. Bloomberg has spent 100 times Bernie Sanders entire net worth on campaign ads already on a failure campaign to buy the presidency. That is the definition of olargacry.
    10
  70. The politicians who failed us should be the last people to get medical care it is their fault we are in this mess. Tiawan kept the death toll to 5 people because their politicans knew how to handle this mess.
    10
  71. The penalty for breaking shelter in place policies should be community service at the nearest hospital in the pandemic ward that way people will understand what they are risking. I am sure the hospital could use someone to disinfect the floors and toilets.
    10
  72. "Top Scum" that pretty much describes the problem with the USA today.
    10
  73. Conservatives are really fighting for corporations and the ruling oligarchy. Centrist are fighting for the status quo which now is corporate interests. Social Democrats are fighting for a Scandinavian model which actual requires government protect the interests of the citizens. We live in a time where the statue quo doesn't work for most people we have been loosing ground for 40 years and we know it while the rich get richer so the centrist are proven to now have the answer. The question then becomes which of the other two choices is the right direction and people are starting to wake up to the fact that corporations only fight for the wealthy owners not the workers. So the answer becomes clear when you have actual policies to compare not scary buzzwords.
    10
  74. The unemployment office could probably recommend about 10 million people to help the IRS process those checks faster. Or they could if the unemployment office wasn't under staffed themselves and unable to help those people get through the system. The irony of an understaffed unemployment office where would they every find help?
    10
  75. I am voting green party because the same donors own both the other parties.
    10
  76. 100% correct. When you have to rationalize your behavior like this it proves you know you did the wrong thing.
    10
  77. Wow if simply going to a Bernie Sanders Rally can wakeup a fox and friends host just think how bad Bernie Sanders will crush Trump in 2020
    9
  78. Amazing how Facebook and Amazon can store our data forever but anything that might prove the crimes corporations are involved with gets erased automatically.
    9
  79. Sam's last statement is the most important part. We need to make sure that if anyone comes out later and claims this was righteous gets slapped in the face with the reality that you can't destroy our democracy in an attempt to save it. There is a very clear method to deal with a president who is unfit for office two of them infact. Impeachment by Congress or the 25 ammendment by the cabinet. If your unwillingness to follow the law of our country and take the correct action required of you by the law you need to step down and let someone else do the job.
    9
  80. Only a cult member would stand there being berated by the leader and after being kicked out would tell reporters in the parking lot how he still loves trump. The guy has on a trump 2020 shirt when trump kicked him out of the rally. This is what a fascist cult looks like.
    9
  81. If Dwight Eisenhower where running for president today Fox would brand him a socialist because we had a 92% top marginal tax rate during his administration. That tax bracket started at 400,000 in today's dollars.
    9
  82. Ryan Grimm is one of the best reporters today.
    8
  83. The question is will Congress impeach and remove the president who violated the constitutional rights of Congress to declare war? We need to remove Trump for abusing his power as commander in chief because he doesn't have the right to use the military without congressional approval unless there is an immediate threat to the USA. The trump administration can't simply murder heads of state who are "bad guys" for being bad.
    8
  84. Hillary lost to Trump for the same reason she lost to Obama and every other corporatist lost to both Trump and Obama. For the last three elections in a row the antiestablishment change candidate won. Both Obama and Trump ran on change both ran on ending the forever wars. Sadly they both failed to do what they ran on. But clearly the most electable candidate is the one who will actually give us change we desperately want someone who will end the oil wars. That is Bernie Sanders not Joe Biden because we don't want to go back to the situation which gave us Trump.
    8
  85. Good thing we know how to make plastic with out petroleum then.
    8
  86. Centrist corporatist believe repeating what they did in 2016 is safer then risking a Bernie Sanders presidency. Let's just run to the center again it worked so well last time.
    8
  87. This is what half a century of neoliberalism and lesser of 2 evils has lead us. We all need to vote 3rd party the democratic party has failed the working class.
    8
  88.  @thehomeplatespecial597  the OP was ment as something Brett is thinking or say not ment to be Booker being the racist. You have read it backwards.
    8
  89. I am looking forward to the GOP losing control of the Senate as voters show the 23 Republican senators the cost of their vote to coverup for the criminal president. Putting party over country will be the death toll for the GOP.
    8
  90. You seem confused they are talking about the rise if progressives not neoliberalism.
    8
  91. I am still waiting for the media to demand that Biden apologize for Hillary calling Nina Turner an angry black woman...
    8
  92.  @bsadewitz  actually IIRC over 70% of all Americans favor Medicare for All and over 90% of all democratic voters. So the citizens by a large majority do understand how they would be better off. It is the donors whom Biden told nothing will fundamentally change that don't want the change to happen.
    8
  93. So tucker's hero is so weak he can't fire his son in law who is running the show? Is that suppose to make bunker boy look better???
    8
  94. I can see no other way to use these winnings then to go to Mars - Jeff Bezos We need to remind the right of this everytime Amazon and the wealth tax is mentioned.
    7
  95. I wonder if anyone told the right wing hacks that pregnant women might die. . Or do they all the sudden not care about that?
    7
  96.  @0_P.E.  her approach is to point out the scientific evidence. That is totally different than fearmongering. When fox make up a story about caravans of illegal immigrants and send reporters to Guatemala and literally accuse two random people walking down the street in their home town of being part of a caravan headed to the USA that is fearmongering and it is a real example of what they did. When Greta entered the IPCC report into congressional records as her testimony she is literally just telling Congress to read the report and believe what the scientists who where commissioned to put the report together said. The fact that she is outraged by political leaders not actually acting on the evidence they have had for over half a century is 100% justified.
    7
  97. Bloomberg has spend 100x Bernie Sanders net worth on his ads already and announced that he will spend 200x Bernie Sanders net worth. But but sure they are the same....
    7
  98. I wonder if the workers building Jeff Bezos rocket get the same unrealistic schedule for their assembly work...
    7
  99. Fox is so full of crap. Judges don't accept guilty pleas for things that are not a crime.
    7
  100. "The Buck Stops Here." Democratic President Harry S. Truman Trump administration blame anyone else. Who is the party of personal responsibility?
    7
  101. Her save the day moment was right after super Tuesday when she withdrew her race. She waited too long.
    7
  102. Kidnapping citizens off the streets and never charging them with any crimes is state sponsored terrorism.
    7
  103. The lesson being what? That it takes a member of the house sleeping on the capital steps to pull Biden as far left as a moratorium policy that Trump enacted? It is really sad that getting GOP policies extended is a victory for pulling Biden left.
    7
  104. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are showing us how you move forward politically. We run on a platform which is focused on the citizens not corporations. When you look at the situation from that perspective you get Medicare for All helping all Americans putting their health over profits of corporations. You get politicans in favor of a living wage as well because it puts workers interests over profits for share holders. You get the climate change policies as well to refocus our energy sector to renewable because it helps the health and employment opportunities for the citizens. But you start with politicians who put citizens before corporate profits.
    7
  105. One more example of party over country.
    7
  106.  @caesarmtnmama  I suspect once you realize that trump lied to you all the time and that progressives actually want to insure you dont die for lack of healthcare you will be the one jumping ship. Or maybe just dieing off in the GOP world where only the 1% can afford to get medical care.
    7
  107. Why do these TV reporters never hold people to task and when the guy said it is old stuff from college point out that Kavanaugh was lying under oath based on these three college classmates so why do you not care about him lying under oath?
    7
  108. Maybe Russia can give them to Wikileaks... the irony is just too fun to think of.
    7
  109. Middle class people can't trust someone who takes super PAC money - Joe Biden
    7
  110. You cut that clip too short. The host had to admit he knew what Ro Khanna said before he said it. Proving how they are pushing a narrative and nothing more.
    7
  111. Last night watching the Bernie Sanders AOC climate crisis event it hit me how much we need Bernie Sanders in 2020. Bernie's campaign is truly a campaign for the people. The polar opposite of the Trump administration.
    7
  112. The issue is the koch brothers will just buy themselves another mouthpiece.
    7
  113. We could get Rudy Giuliani to testify about his roll in this that would definitely add crazy drunk fun... oh right trump won't allow him to testify.
    7
  114. Sam "Joe Biden doesn't want to get into office and not be able to do anything" My thoughts was Sam sleeping for the entire Obama Biden administration? Even with a supermajority they did nothing but give us a Heritage foundation healthcare plan and make the gop tax cuts permanent. Biden told his donors nothing would fundamentally change during his administration he doesn't want to do anything in office.
    7
  115. Biden is still trying to find the vinyl record company so the kids can listen to words.
    7
  116. Only a idiot would think Medicare for All doesn't include coal miners getting healthcare.
    6
  117.  @biokido575  maybe your posts don't post because you are linking to fake news state propaganda
    6
  118. These "free market" conservatives keep telling everyone that if you don't like what a company does just go start your own company so why don't they follow their own advice and start their own competitive company to Twitter?
    6
  119. You know our ideas are catching on when the pludocrats get scard
    6
  120. Ok I can address this peoblem with taxes. Set the minimum wage to a living wage linked to inflation. Then set the standard deduction to 150% of the minimum wage as a 40 hour work week for 52 weeks pay. Make that the only deduction and set a progressive tax structure with the top marginal bracket at 90%. Also tax all earning as income regardless of source. See how easy that is.
    6
  121. The house is showing you the problem with centrist corporatist. There is nothing pragmatic about an incremental solution to a catastrophic crisis.
    6
  122. Funny how they didn't ask how they would pay for tax cut 2.0 when 1.0 blew a 2 trillion dollar hole in the budget.
    6
  123. The fox hosts have no clue that their propaganda is believed by viewers proves that they also know it is totally false and propaganda.
    6
  124. Bernie is doing town halls on issues now which is new. But Bermie should run from day one with either Warnen or Tulsi Gabbard standing beside him from day one as the VP candidate. It would unite the progressive vote during the primary process.
    6
  125. @David Powell I would trust the carter center more then NPR. The carter center has an international reputation to protect. NPR have you listened to their reporting? They discussed iowa yesterday for 15 minutes or so and managed to mention literally every other candidate but Warren and Bernie Sanders. They are manufacturing consent with the best of them.
    6
  126. Ofcourse she is. She needs them to make sure her icecream is delivered safely. The reality is the oligarchy bought both parties. Nancy Pelosi is worth what 100 million dollars she wants the police state to protect her assets as much as the donors. We have to end the curruption.
    6
  127. Did you also admit to him that you where a Hillary Clinton voter who refused to vote for Obama? Because more of her voters failed to fall in line and vote for Obama then Bernie Sanders supporters. Or are you still in denial of that fact?
    6
  128.  @KEVINLOPEZ-np4kj  so your employer pays x percent of a bad plan and you think it is a choice to pay 100% of a better plan out of pocket? Because that is what you fail to understand is Bernie Sanders wants to make Healthcare the same a public roads no cost at the point of service and our entire society pays for it based on a progressive tax structure. The other candidates never tell you how much you will have to pay as an individual to buy health insurance from the government. They are just trying to trick you into a public option added to the ACA by calling it Medicare which it is not.
    6
  129. It is the law that allows you to pay 100% of your former employer based health insurance. It is crazy expensive and a total failure. This is just a way of propping up the health insurance industry.
    6
  130. It is nice to see it isn't only the right wing that can do projection. The wouldn't want the centrist corporatist to be left out.
    6
  131. You can just replace all this dancing around the question with I pled the 5th. Those 4 words would save so much time.
    6
  132. Bill Gates really sucks at the strawman argument game. He said he is ok with paying 20 billion dollars when Warren asked for 3 billion dollars in taxes. Ok Bill we are more than willing to agree with you and charge you 20 billion in taxes not 3 billion Warren asked for.
    6
  133. That was the point Bernie Sanders made in the fox townhall that every single American over the age of 18 should vote and that our government should make it easy for them to do it.
    6
  134. Warren was a Republican until 96
    6
  135. Fines won't do anything we need to put the trump enablers in Jail until they turn.
    6
  136.  @hustle_simmons  so force her to show her true colors as someone who has more in common with Republicans and their donors. Fighting against the corporate interests in a public fight that gets millions of Americans involved is the only way the working class will get control of our government. This is class warfare and my class is winning - Warren Buffett
    6
  137. Neoliberalism won't allow it. Renewable energy endangers their corporate bribes.
    6
  138.  @Yashiro-nene_dies  well when you figure out how to deprogram cult members let me know because I have family members who are tfg in the trump fascist cult.
    6
  139. Glad I am not the only one who got that

  140. Medicare and Medicaid today are the highest risk pools in our society. Today private sector insurance companies cherry pick the healthiest people. Pete is offering you a public option on the ACA so you can buy into the high risk pool of government insurance. No one wants that. What we want is single payer Medicare for All so that the risk pool is 100% of the society and the costs are covered by our progressive tax code not our individual buy in.
    5
  141.  @alphamike_  your correct except that the recent report said 12 years so 2030 not 2040.
    5
  142. Steve Curtis, a former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party was convicted of voter fraud that must be what trump is talking about his own party is doing it.
    5
  143. Trump is a self dealing con man. His entire business model is putting his name on other people's property and extorting money from them. He is only in government to maximize the money flowing into his own businesses. "I am all about curruption" president Donald Trump.
    5
  144. Trumps account has turned states evidence on him. If they come out with money laundering charges the Congress will either have to impeach or face questions about their own finances. Remember that the turtle's father in law is a drug dealer I don't think he will want financial investigation.
    5
  145. @Obviously True clearly you haven't been paying attention there are millions in the streets during a pandemic this government response is to send the Gestapo out to kidnap citizens and toss them in minivans.
    5
  146. It is time to simply replace these end of life pipelines with offshore wind and solar plus storage. How much methane is leaking into the environment every day from these pipes according climate change? Oil companies who refused to keep their systems safe don't deserve the chance to build a new system they need to be told we are all done with your product. Repeal the GOP tax cuts and use that 6 trillion dollars to build renewable energy.
    5
  147. The GOP should be scared shirtless of the sunrise movement. They will get the 18 to 30 demographic to actually show up to vote and they won't vote for the GOP for sure. I suspect we will see a wave of Justice Democrats backed by the sunrise movement in 2020.

  148.  @thehomeplatespecial597  maybe you can get Grassley to declassify the documents that Booker said he will release but Grassley and the GOP didn't have time to wait for the national archives to clear so they marked then as classified for senators only forcing them to be unavailable for questioning during the hearing which is public.

  149. You reduce the dependency on SA oil by removing the demand for oil in the economy the technology was there in 2008. But Obama choose to having a fracking boom instead of the Solar Boom that China and India are having or the off shore Wind Boom that Europe is having. It is bad policy to pollute our ground water fracking because we refuse to switch to modern renewable energy. It has cost us a new renewable energy based economy of the future. Your short term thinking has allowed China to pass us in solar PV production.

  151. Bailout the oil industry no way. The right wing keeps telling us that all we need is to end government regulations and the free market will ballance out the price based on supply and demand. Russia and Saudi Arabia just ended their regulations and government quota system. So now the free market is just rebalancing the cost of oil based on the real supply and demand. The right wing should be thrilled they just got everything they have told me they need. Now they want to use tax payers money to interfere with the beloved free market??? Can't do that just let the weak oil companies fail and the good ones will be left standing that is what the right has been saying for year.... oh right they are not honest actors I forgot that all the time.

  159. Sam the current financial situation is no different then the 2008 crisis. The fed is using the same tactics that was written into the tarp legislation to bailout wallstreet. The loans by Steve Manchin are setting up for the same consolation of wealth that made Steve Manchin wealthy in 2009 foreclosing on 6 million Americans. They wealthy are using this biological crisis to concentrate wealth in a comming financial crisis. All you have to do is look at how Canada the UK and Denmark are handling the financial aspects of this pandemic to see how it has been used here in the USA to increase income inequality.

  162. Letter from Birmingham Jail (ext) By Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963 "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection." ... This applies to the Democratic party leadership as much today as it did over half a century ago when MLK wrote it. The neoliberal "centrist" are the biggest threat to society.

  166. The problem with that Pennsylvania house member outraged by the Republicans exposing him is that he didn't have the same outrage when the GOP forced people back to work in slaughter houses to provide him meat for dinner or when the GOP forced nurses to tend for the sick without proper PPE. He asked why people see the parties as the same the reason is because his outrage was only triggered enough to make a video in anger when it effected him personally because his coworkers didn't consider him part of the click worthy of protection and contact tracing. If he had been equally outspoken about the need for these things for the general public I would agree with him that the problem is the gop only but the reality is the Democratic party has simply used the gop for coverage as they passed legislation to loot the government for their donors during the pandemic.

  167. Nice to see you don't let facts get in the way of your world view. Everything you said is not based on facts. But once Bernie Sanders wins the nomination it won't be his voters who fail to vote against Trump. It will be people like you who have to choose to vote for Bernie Sanders or Trump. So you need to get over Hillary Clinton and decide if you will let Trump win again or support Bernie.

We don't need to invade Venezuela simply to steel their oil as well. It is time to build renewable energy and end the oil wars.

Joe Biden can end inflation the same way Richard Nixon did in 1973 without the help of Congress but he is instead letting the federal reserve punish the poor who hold adjustable rate debt. He could cancel student debt and could have extended Medicare to all during the pandemic the same as the ACA extended Medicare to Libby Montana but he didn't. This is what is hurting the Democratic party

  204. Obama had a Democrat supermajority and gave us a Heritage foundation healthcare plan. He should have been able to get a public option at the very minimum and really if he had pushed it Medicare for All. Any Democratic who wouldn't have backed that plan have been pressured. If Obama told them vote for the public option or I will personally make sure your primary opponent crushes you any Democrat would have fallen in line. What Democrat would want to face the voters with the Democratic president comming out an campaigning for your challenger? There where ways he could have and should have done more. Look what the GOP has done in 2 years with a one vote majority.
    3
  205.  Bro9650  because returning to the broken system that gave us the ACA a Heritage foundation healthcare system by the way. Will drive more voters to support Medicare for All. It will prove once and for all that a caplistist profit motive has no place in a service where you die without treatment. Setting the price base on maximizing profits knowing it denies some portion of society the service is immoral when people die as a result. Even Ronald Reagan understood this. It is why he pass legislation requiring emergency rooms to treat anyone who walks in regardless of their ability to pay. Unfortunately that legislation also requires that people who can't afford healthcare get the most expensive care our society offers then file medical bankruptcy. Skyrocketing costs in our medical system with missed payments. If the ACA is brought down the GOP will finally prove there is no caplistist solution for healthcare and the USA will be forced to face the same reality all other developed countries have faced same implement single payer healthcare. Thus you drive more voters to Bernie Sanders as that is his signature issue.

  208.  Marilyn Reallon  in 2019 we added $18 billion to the military budget. So we pay to expand out public education system from K-12 to K-16 the same way we paid for the expanded military budget because it is the same cost. The question is do we value education for our youth as much as we value the military industrial complex? In 2008 we spent 1 trillion dollars to bail out the wealthiest people in this country while forcing the working class home owners through the foreclosure process. So we pay for college debt forgiveness the same way we paid to bailout the banks. The question is do we value our youth being able to afford to buy a home as much as we value the wealthy bank owner? Medicare for All is proven to save money compared to our current for profit healthcare system. So the question is how do we pay for our current more expensive system which is responsible for 66% of bankruptcies in the USA?

  214.  @VMonkies  thanks for the clarification. It is sometimes hard to follow these discussions. I assumed you where saying he would resign because like Nixon he would be free and clear. Yes the next president could pardon him. Interesting fact Ford wasn't the VP when the scandal broke. Theodore Agnew resigned allowing Nixon to choose Ford before resigning himself. So for the Republicans to repeat the Nixon solution to impeachment processing Pence would actually resign first and Trump would select someone as VP that the GOP could claim was free from this scandal to be the VP who pardons him. Matt Gaetz would be at the head of the line for people willing to be remembered as the man who pardoned trump. How is that for scary? But I suspect they would have to act before Nancy Pelosi actually starts the official impeachment hearing.

  216. Talk to them about how Biden has a history of fighting to cut Medicare and Social security. That seems to be the argument that has convinced most older people that Biden is not their candidate. The reality is what you are seeing isn't race based I see the same thing with older white voters. They have simply spent the last 40 years listening to the Clition era centrist corporatist propaganda media. But when faces with the reality that Biden has actively fought against the social safety net some of them come around to Bernie.

  230.  @thehomeplatespecial597  the comments made against Bernie Sanders are made in bad faith as a smear campaign was the point. They are usually made in reference to his recognizing that the state of Israel has not treated the people of Palestine humanity. Bernie Sanders has been out spoken about the fact that the United States provide foreign aid to Israel without conditions related to the treatment of Palestinians. I completely agree with him on the topic. But the current accepted group think is to attack anyone who speaks out against the right wing government of Israel as antisemitic or a self hating jew because the right wants to put the government of Israel above criticism. But you are really over thinking a simple comment ment to point out the bias the media has against progressive candidates vs centrist candidates who either take large somes of money to do the bidding od billionaires or billionaire themselves.

  236.  @NeonNights80  a public option is a chance for the government to become the insurer of last resort forcing the sickest highest cost people on the government while the private sector profits off the healthy people and the right wing propaganda system complains that the government system is more expensive. It is a bad idea. Also if you think Biden is able to get it through now when he couldn't get it with a supermajority you are dreaming. The path to Medicare for all is to simply get politicians wbo have the balls to lower the eligibility age of Medicare to 0. Simple and done we have a Medicare system passed decades ago we just need to lower the eligibility to cover 100% of the population not only the elderly.

  255. marsh donated his $400,000 salary. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yup a perfect example of the Con and how you are stupid enough to fall for it. You should consider attending trump university. Oh wait he had to close down that con. Trumps golf trips to his own resorts has cost the federal government more than 10 times that salary. Each member of the secret service has to be a member of his golf resorts just to do their jobs and protect the president. At $200,000 per membership. So if there are 3 members of the secret service who protect the president he has already made 150% of that salary back off the secret service. And I have never seen the president travel with less than 3 people protecting him. Time for you to wake up and realize that you where the victim or a con.

  256.  @peldonmarsh6191  you missed the point Trump isn't an outsider at all. He invited the Clition's to his wedding.

It is called extortion. As to trump turning againt Jeffrey Epstein that doesn't prove anything it just proves a life long pattern of throwing anyone around him under the bus to protect him self. I remember when he was defending Jeff Sessions before throwing him under the bus too. Trump is nothing but a two bit con man who was born into wealth and blew managed to lose his farhers fortune being such a bad con artist that no banks in America would loan him money. 6 bankruptcies is who Donald Trump is.

  262. marmarsh  demanding the name of the whistleblower is a criminal activity all on it's own. We have a law called the whistleblower protection act to protect people who are brave enough to stand up to power from the death threats that his lawyers have received. Again you prove to be nothing but a cult member.
    2
  263. marsh you do realize that we have first hand testimony now so the whistleblower is irrelevant. You have the right to face your accuser in a court of law. So when trump ends up in a court of law yes. But you do not have a right to face your accuser during a grand jury hearing. Once again you are just parroting incorrect GOP talking points.
    2
  264. marsh you need to learn how to read. I never said the whistleblower protection act was irrelevant. It is very relevant that we protect the whistleblower because there have been death threats against his lawyers. Trump supporters have mailed bombs to people they believe are trumps political opponents so it is critical that we protect anyone who is exposing the crupption inside this administration. But the whistleblower himself is irrelevant to the issue of Trumps crimes because we have first hand testimony from the people involved including the ambassador trump appointed who donated 1 million dollars to trump in order to buy his job. You really do suck at the strawman argument.
    2
  265.  @peldonmarsh6191  so why has William Barr protected the whistleblower? He knows how it is. Same reason he wouldn't come out and hold a press conference saying that trump hasn't committed a crime on the phone call. Because he knows the law better then you. But the point you are worried about a no important person because we have first hand testimony from the people involved with the quid pro quo now.

  266. marsh Barr managing an unbiased image. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you clearly never saw the letter he wrote before getting the job. Is just a GOP cover up guy. Who believes that the president is above the law.

  269.  @peldonmarsh6191  hearing is not listening but given more exposure you might get there. But do try Kyle Kulinski he has a deeper discussion on most issues. The Rational National, real news network and democracy now are much better sources but CNN is very much corporatist status quo supportes the difference between Biden and Bernie Sanders and if you don't understand that different you don't understand what the progressives are telling you.

Bernie Sanders has shown support for them but when it comes to Mitch McConnell and Trump crickets. That shows you who cares about taking care of the working man and why only cares about making sure the assets of the barrons of industry are protected when they fail to live up to their commitments to their workers.

We have 4% of the worlds population and 25% of the worlds deaths. Trump has made the USA #1 in covid infections and deaths.

  282. MrDeedsly it was ment as sarcasm pointing out how stupid trump's double standard is when it comes to his claims that people strongly deny things.

  293.  @thehomeplatespecial597  your right the GOP had made them commity confidential so they couldn't use then in the public hearing.

  296.  Steve C  more likely the end of the GOP once it gets to a Senate vote. Notice how the GOP dodges any questions about the testimony and only attack the process and the messenger. When they can't come out and say what the president did was legal it makes protecting him a bad move for your own re election.
    2
  297.  @VMonkies  so what was your point? Mine was that situation wont repeat itself because unlike trump Nixon could actually avoid prison that way. Trump has only one hope to avoid prison stay in office and argue in court that the president is above the law. So far that defense isn't working out so well for him.

  308.  @rrobjchilds  you fail to understand how we moved from having candidates like FDR and JFK as choices in the general election to having only a fascist and a neoliberal. That is the point. Voting for the lesser of two evils only rewards the system which gave you those two evil choices and signals your consent to those choices. The only alternative at the moment is to take that power away from the system by voting 3rd party. Because only then will the two parties realize they have to return to being for what the voters want. So I won't accept your premise that I have to choose between two systems which are against my personal best Interests i will vote green party. Because they have a platform which is in my best Interest and if the half of all Americans who are so pissed at the lessor of two evils choice that they stayed home get the message and only half of them vote green we will have the numbers for a very tight 3 way race. If more than half of all citizens who choose not to vote choose to vote green party we will win in a landslide. So sorry but with the current level of people who don't support either the DNC neoliberalism or GOP fascist there is a 3rd option you are not considering.
    2
  309.  @VMonkies  well said
    2
  310.  @rrobjchilds  one of the two evils will only win so long as people like you vote for them and half of all voters choose to stay home. It looks to me like a very large percentage of the population are not choosing to fall in line or stay home at this point in history. So you might want to rethink if one of the two evil choices will win over the 3rd option after all. It isn't a forgone conclusion at this point expecally as the neoliberal is only the presumptive nominee. Hell if all the protesters and non willing to compromise voters vote for Bernie Sanders in the remaining primaries Biden could end up losing the nomination. So sorry but you seem to believe your self fulfilling proficiency and not be willing to admit that is all it is.

  311.  @rrobjchilds  you are wrong there are enough out standing delegates to nominate either Biden or Sanders at the moment. Biden doesn't have 1991 delegates.

That road hasn't ended well since about the French revolution. Typically what happens is you replace the broken democracy with a military dictatorship. What you described is how governments fall into fascist dictatorships.

That is the reality until we get money out of politics the politicians will do what the people who pay them tell them to do. That is just the basic reality of a caplistist society. Don't be fooled Nancy Pelosi didn't become worth over 100 million dollars off her government paycheck. The citizens are not the single largest source of income she has and therefore they are not the group she represents.

  317.  @Jen-cc9xk  the politicans are only thinking about the cost to their donors not the cost to society.

  328.  @quinndawsonosgood5261  🤣🤣 love your random negativity. But that would still be faster than the green party or the people who think you can send someone into the Democratic party and get Medicare for All that way. After all we have the video of Nancy asking the speaker of the house to hold a vote for it when she first got there to take over the party. Now we see she is the speaker that the party converted into blocking the vote. AOC has proven the process is repeating itself as she votes as Nancy instructed with tears in her eyes. So sure RCV requires more than once election cycle but it can't work any worse than the alternative which has failed for the last half century

  329. Under Bernie Sanders M4A private insurance would be allowed to cover anything that Medicare doesn't cover. It is how our current system works here in the USA. If you are on Medicare today you can carry supplemental insurance as well to cover anything not covered by Medicare.
    2
  330.  @greenith  no yang is trying to trick Americans into accepting a public option added to the ACA by calling it Medicare choice. But it is not at all the same thing. Yang isn't saying that he will provide a progressive tax structure to pay for his healthcare plan. He isn't saying it will expand the risk pool to 100% of the population lowering cost. What he is saying is the private sector will be allowed to continue to cherry pick the healthy people to profit off and force the sickest people to be covered by the government. Today that is the case with Medicare and Medicaid covering the highest risk members of our society. This allows the insurance companies to socialize the cost while privatizing the profits. All yang and the other corpate Democrats are offering is for you to be able to buy into the high risk pool if you don't like the private market. But that will by definition faul because you are forced to buy into the government insurance which is already covering the sickest people so it has the highest costs. The corporatist love this because they can trick people into thinking the government plan is expensive because of the argument that government never does thing right. But the reality is they are the insurers of last resort. The only way single payer works is to cover the entire society as has been proven the world over. Yang and anyone else defending the current system is just trying to protect corpate profits.
    2
  331.  @greenith  when it comes to Healthcare the answer is simple Bernie Sanders has done his homework and the system is proven in Canada Scandinavia France Germany I could go on but every other developed nation has some version of single payer and they pay half what we pay per capita. You can play wack a mole as to if the drug companies or the hospital are responsible for the price gouging but the bottom line is you can not allow a profit motive when people will die without the service. Other countries have solved this problem have the government pay for and regulate the healthcare sector. If you don't understand how the risk pool factors into mixing public and private insurance you need to understand how insurance companies work to make a profit.

You are confusing wealth with intelligence. The reality is Bill Gates is ruthless in business and built a monopoly off of stolen intellectual property. DOS was stolen from a trade show he attended. Windows 3.11 was a direct knockoff of the apple OS. He simply knew how to market other peoples ideas. That is simply being in the right place at the right time and being willing to take advantage of others.

So I would argue that times are changing and with the help of groups like JD we can get more avg Americans in government.

Sadly both parties have supported war without end but there is hope with groups like Justice Democrats now actually refusing to take corporate bribes I mean campaign funds. But on topic yes he should be found guilty for lying under oath. One example would be when he claimed he had nothing to do with stealing Democrats email then it turned out he had received an email untitled spying all about the content of the stolen email and when questioned about it he said well I didn't think they really ment spying that is you know just the way people talk. Wrong he is very bad at covering his tracks.

  352. Don't shame the citizens who didn't vote listen to them and give them a reason to vote. The lesser of 2 evils arguments clearly doesn't work on them regardless of it it is correct. Give them something good to vote for. We need more people like AOC wbo give people a reason to believe in them and to vote for them. The Hillary Clinton DWS politicans are to blame for not being canadates worthy of voting for. The DNC is to blame for supporting these candidates. So long as the establishment refuses to listen to the citizen the citizens will refuse to vote for them because they won't represent the citizens. A higher percentage of Republican votes support Medicare for All then elected Democrats in office. That fact alone tells you all you need to know about why people didn't vote for candidates who don't support the policies they want.

    2
  355. To her question of do the Democrats believe that. No they are just doing what the corporations pay them to do. The Republicans are paid the most money to actually pass the policy the public knows is screwing them and the Republicans know it that is why the head of the EPA all the sudden needed 24/7 security because he thought if someone did this to me i would kill them. But the money is really good so the Republicans do it. The corporate Democrats are paid less because they get to look like the good guy while making sure that they don't repeal any of the policies the Republicans passed. So people probably won't be as mad at them for loosing on the issues and we feel like we have a choice.

    2
  367.  @drewchilds3027  you have a great point but the two are definitely linkined. We use war in the middle east to make a market for dollars in the form of weapons they want so they will accept dollars for our oil from countries like China who have an excess of dollars from our trade deficit and national debt. We couldn't hold our national debt if the dollar wasn't the base of international trade. That is something we are seeing ending with the trade war trump started because more contries are saying if we won't have a surplus of dollars we should just trade in our currency. Canada and Europe are starting to do it more and Europe and China. But the reality is that we are very much interested in securing the worlds oil supply our fracking boom is a very short term solution at a very high environmental cost. But like any addict we need our oil to keep our society functioning. Which is why the single most important thing we can do is focus on making all energy local and renewable so energy is no longer a tool of warfare on a global basis. As to the Petro dollar that is a issue for sure our economic system is a mess as bad or worse then in the 1930 and we know that world wide war and the Petro dollar was what it took to recover from that. It is a mess but the more self reliance with respect to energy and food we can create on a global scale the more peace we will have become people won't need to envy and fight for their neighbors food or energy.
    2
  368.  @drewchilds3027  oh the short answer is with respect to Venezuelan it is about the oil. That is why they are the only war torn country in central or south America that we are talking about. Look at the history of the military actions post Vietnam and you will find oil under the ground in almost every single conflict. You can also find plenty of examples of countries with very similar problems where we have no interest at all because there is no oil at stake. For example Zimbabwe is currently falling apart just as bad as Venezuela but no oil so no talk of military intervention to "help them" by blowing up a big part of their country.

Today the president goes and sees the sky red and millions of acres on fire in what looks like the biblical description of hell on earth and trump tell the American people trust me it will get cooler I know better then the scientists. We have to hold our government accountable for their failures. Our government today isn't even as well prepared or responsive as it was a century ago. If that doesn't scare you into action to help fix our government study the 1930s and 1040s. Because it isn't a time in history we should try to return to.

  381.  @1drummer172  name one country which has the same plan Pete wants. Because I don't know one country which has the private sector and the government competing for the same coverage. I know of countries where you can buy additional health insurance for things not covered by the government single payer system but not one example where you would opt out of the government single payer plan and buy private sector insurance which covers the same issues. If you are trying to argue that you can buy supplemental insurance in some single payer systems them you are making a false argument because Bernie Sanders Medicare for All allows you to buy supplemental insurance to cover anything not covered by Medicare.

  382.  @EconomistGI  interesting I didn't realize how the system in Germany is setup. But it sounds like a very heavily regulated private sector. From what you said it soulds like a method for the wealthy to dodge some of the progressive costs of being on the same payment plan as the public system. But thanks for the information I would have to learn more about it to say for sure but given how much the USA is anti regulation I definitely don't see the system you described working here. Honestly if we had half of the regulations you described here we wouldn't have the out of control system today causing medical bankruptcy.

This is brilliant because it made he admit that she views political donations as bribes. Also because it allows grass roots to use or "speach" to counter the 5 million dollar being spent on pro Kavanaugh adds by corporations who want to buy their seat on the court.

  389.  @Pearlruby718  people voted for Obama twice because he offered change you could believe in. Trump won as the antiestablishment candidate. So you have seen the last 3 elections in a row go to the radical candidate over the establishment candidate. The only difference in 2020 is we now have a chance for a true progressive not centrist corporatist claiming to be a progressive or a fake far right populists.

In 2016 Bernie Sanders was an unknown candidate and with all the dirty tricks they could muster he managed to close a 60 point gap. In 2020 he is the candidate with name recognition and the grassroots movement behind him. This time the wealthy elite use their money to attack Bernie Sanders and the result is in 48 hours we donate $1.5 million to his campaign. People see the ads attacking him and we call more people and explain to them how the attacks are wrong how Bernie Sanders is fighting for the working class. The tide has turned. What we are seeing is the last desperate attempts by the plutocrats to hold onto power. But while they have the money we have the numbers. In a democracy numbers win.

But if we put solar panels on every rooftop in the USA and development our wind resources both off and on shore then no one will care if someone in the desert half a world a way blows up a refinery because you will simply unplug your EV from your Solar panels on your own roof and drive to work.

The corporate Democrats are the non racist alternative for wealthy elites who want to make sure the working class doesn't take too much of their wealth. We need to vote for progressive candidates who put the wellbeing of the entire community over the wellbeing of the wealthy if we want to have a government of, by, and for the people again. We currently have a wealthy ruling class which has taken over both political parties.

I also think the people saying he is upset it disproved his world view are wrong he has said many times he supports any progressives regardless of where they run just that he doesn't believe you can take over the Democratic party from the corporate chokehold. So far the 2020 primary race would tend to say he is right. I hope he is wrong but I am not convinced that the DNC will allow Bernie or Warren to be the nominee. Sure as the sun will rise in the morning they won't get the nomination without a massive fight. If Biden had to deal with the bad press Bernie gets Biden would be be down in the single digits and dropping out already.

I suspect it will sell about half a million per year same as the Model 3 is currently on track for in the USA. 1 million vehicles per year between 2 models for a car company which was selling tens of thousands just a few years ago isn't irrelevant it is amazing growth. That doesn't include the output of gigafactory 2 in china or 3 which they are breaking ground on in Germany. I am not a huge Tesla fan but the company has made amazing inroads into the automotive industry. Oh as to your wasn't he going to save the world comment. Sorry to burst your bubble but Elon simply said Tesla is trying to force the revolution in the automotive industry to convert from ICE to EV. Elon has said there need to be about 10 factories the size of his in Nevada world wide and that he doesn't want to have to build them all that we need the other automakers to help. Ford is now releasing videos of their prototype electric pickup. BMW is commiting 50 billion dollars to EV development with 25 models comming by 2025. So I would say Elon Musk has been very successful at showing how to make an EV which can be mass produced and sold. He has succeeded at showing that there is a need and the other automakers are taking notice.

  440. Sam the entire reason we got into this mess where the last Democratic president is a self described Republican form the 80s is by comparing based on not being as bad as the Republican candidate. That is the goal of voting lessor of 2 evils it allows both parties to be evil and to not allow you a good choice. It is why the entire goal of the media was to insure Bernie Sanders lost at any cost. Because having a progressive candidate who offers actually policies would break the lessor of 2 evils shifting the Overton window towards corporatism and fascism.

Also to protect the for profit healthcare system. It is an illusion that protecting the status quo politicians will protect the American dream of working 40 hours a week. Owning a home with 2 kids and a dog. Politicians gave up on that dream in the 80s when they realized that accepting bribes from the barrons of industry and allowing them to export our jobs was more profitable for the politicans and the barrons of industry. If you are a working class American who wants to protect your current quality of life you need to vote for Bernie Sanders. His policies will protect the working class.

  468.  @fredsmith6401  it is far more likely that Pence would follow Theodore Agnew and resign as VP clearing the door for trump to appoint a new VP who isn't cought up in the scandal already. This is how Ford became VP. Today 3 people come to mind as free enough of the trump scandals to play that role. Mitch McConnell, Graham or Matt Gaetz. I don't see many other people willing to go down in history beside Ford.
    1
  469.  @VMonkies  we will see how involved Pence really is as Trump looks around for the last person to throw under the bus. He has already hinted about phone calls Pence made. My guess is trump asked Pence to do illegal things and Pence definitely told trump he did them. So far all that is proven is how Pence spent government funds to enrich the president. There is a time when publicly taking part in self dealing would have been enough. Clearly we have fallen a long ways as a society since they forced Jimmy Carter to sell his peanut farm.

  470.  @fraserwatson3034  if you give everyone in society x dollars per month all you did was devalue the dollar while adding to the federal budget. UBI is the same failed concept as saying poor people need to pay taxes on the income they need to just survive but in reverse. Both plans fail because they refuse to realize that income inequality is the problem and our tax code and socal safety nets only stabilize our society when they address this basic issue. By the way calling it universal when it is means tested is Orwellian. Anytime someone has to use language tricks to make their idea sound like something it isn't they know they have a bad plan and are trying to trick you.
    1
  471.  @fraserwatson3034  there was not notable inflation when the government printed money to bail out the banks because the money went to the wealthy elite. The top 3 people in the USA own more wealth then the bottom 50% of the population. When you give 0.1% of the population 3 trillion dollars there is no way they can spend that money so it is pulled out of the economy and exists only as larger numbers in their investment portfolio. If you give that same 3 trillion dollars to the remaining 99.9% of the population most of us will have to spend it simply to pay our daily expenses. That is what causes hyperinflation in places like Zimbabwe. The USA does have a buffer in the fact that our currency is the international currency of trade but that is a longer discussion. I will just say that fact has been a key factor in why we have run up 20 trillion in national debt since WWII without having the austerity problems Spain or Greece have. By the way we are still doing quantitative easing as we speak in the financial sector which is printing money to bail out the banks. Dylan Ratigan discussed it recently on the Jimmy Doore show. But to your other point about the VAT funding the UBI. VAT is a tax on consumption same as a sales tax and will by definition drive up the cost of goods. Like all consumption based taxes it is regressive by nature because the wealthy elite do not spend anywhere near the same percentage of their wealth to buy the goods and services they need every single day. Then as others have pointed out Yang wants to cancel out the UBI for poor people who use other forms of government assistance. That is clearly regressive it in effect is giving the wealthy elite the same food stamps benefit that a poor person gets only as UBI checks. His entire system sounds great if you don't dig into it but if you know the real problem is income inequality you quickly realize that Yang is someone who benefits from income inequality trying to trick you into voting to increase the problem and continue the flow of wealth to the top of our society. If the Bernie Sanders and Warren are correct that you have to restructure our tax code to address income inequality. Yang is wrong with his approach of taxing consumption not wealth. You can do a study of the effects of VAT taxes in Europe and income inequality and you will quickly see that a VAT increases the costs of goods and is regressive. Yang is a pludocrat trying to trick you into voting for a system which continues to help his class out. What we need is programs like Medicare for All which have greater benefits for the poor and working class then the wealthy elite. This is because it gives the poor something they currently lack that the wealthy currently have. We also need to raise funding from wealth and progressive income taxes which will close the income inequality gap. Yang's plans don't do this.
    1
  472.  @fraserwatson3034  you don't care if a rich person gets the same benefit you get because you don't understand how income inequality had damaged our society. You need to spend more time listening to Bernie Sanders. Your argument that no poor person would not Benifit from an extra $1000 per month is easy disprove by anyone who has studied any economy going through hyperinflation. Giving the same addition money to all members of society will just result in inflation. Yang hides that inflation in the form of Taxation with the VAT but the reality is if you give 100% of society $1000 per month and raise that same money from a tax on spending then the poor who spend the $1000 each month because they spend 100% of their money pay more of the VAT tax then the wealthy elite who put that $1000 UBI check into an investment account because there in no tax on investment with a VAT only on consumption. That system has to inflate prices by the amount of the VAT and increases income inequality by the ratio of spending vs saving of the UBI across the wealth spectrum.

  474.  @businessbuilder92  you clearly didn't understand my comment. You are just now learning why we need government regulations and a social safety net. You know all those horrible things you fear monger about calling them socialism. The federal reserve just dumped 1.5 trillion dollars into the falling stock market to save billionaires money. You didn't ask how we will pay for that. But when Bernie Sanders saids people shouldn't have to file bankruptcy in order to get treatment for the pandemic you will scream socialism how do we pay for savind lives? Saving oil companies from the free market stress of Saudi Arabia flooding the market sure you are all in. You care more about companies than human lives that is the point. The right only cares about budgets when it benifits corporations. Tell them that the drug companies can't profiteer and you hear free market Free market supply and demand. Tell them that consumers save money because their is a surplus of oil and no government quotas on production and 1.5 trillion is released by the fed with no discussion to save wallstreet.

  475.  @businessbuilder92  you can't even read 1.5 trillion is not just 1 trillion dollars. You are off by half a trillion dollars. But clearly as you think is is trivial you will be happy to pay off all student debt as it is the same amount of money and would do more for the economy than priced a one hour bounce to the stock market. The 20 billion per year to pay for college education wouldn't even be a drop in the buck so clearly you agree we can do that without thinking. Medicare for All saves $450 billion per year so clearly you have no problem with that either. Nice to see you don't mind funding things which cost far less than the 1.5 trillion trump jumped in a failing stock market.

  476.  @businessbuilder92  you don't need to see a country with the same size population to know how it works. Per capita spending is what matters it levels cost based on population. It shows that across the board single payer countries pay half what we pay cover 100% of their population and have better medical outcomes. Case closed we have the worlds most expensive healthcare system because maximizing profits when someone dies without your service means you put them in medical bankruptcy. Because clearly their life is worth everything they own.

  477.  @businessbuilder92  you are funny got rid of income taxes. Totally unrelated. But if it makes you happy just count the entire EU the countries that make it up all have single payer healthcare and the combined population is much higher than the USA. If you combine all countries in the world with single payer vs private insurance you will see that single payer system far out number for profit.

  501. What are the chances that would actually hurt Bernie Sanders? It is unclear to me who a spoiler would hurt in 2020. Trump has the racist vote locked in for sure. The vote red no matter who voter will vote trump. Bernie Sanders has the progressive vote and if he is the nominee he has the vote of anyone who just votes Democratic party ticket. So the spoiler will pull what the never Bernie Hillary Clinton crowd? I suspect more independents will vote for Bernie Sanders than vote for Trump. Independents definitely won't vote for a billionaire who bought his way onto the ballot as a spoiler. Ross Perot running as a spoiler actually helped the democratic nominee go on to victory. My guess is a spoiler candidate would mostly provide a chance for independent voters who are independent because they don't trust the Republicans to have a chance to vote for a "conservative" instead of voting for Trump. In a trump Bernie race I wouldn't bet on a spoiler helping trump.

  506.  @-kitn-kittilsvogel1958  for starters CO2 is not the only byproduct of ff production. You should do some research on ground water quality resulting from fracking. Spoiler alert tap water you can light on fire isn't healthy to drink. But to your greenhouse question how many people have committed suicide by running a car in a confined space? Enough car exhaust is definitely positions. Also you might want to do some research on the food you grow in that high CO2 greenhouse as the increased CO2 causes plants to store more sugar and become less healthy so your greenhouse might grow more plants for food but the quality is infact poorer.

  507.  @-kitn-kittilsvogel1958  well I see you admit that car exhaust can kill people and thus isn't healthy that is a start. But I also see you are clueless as to the impact increasing CO2 on your plants. Yes they grow faster you know what else grows fast cancer. So just because your plants grow faster doesnt mean they are more healthy to eat. You really need to do some research on the increase in sugar production in plants grown in a high CO2 environment. Oh as to the car exhaust if you have a Tesla powered off your solar cells yes I think that will end the cancer or other health issues resulting from burning FF to power your car. Not to mention I have yet to hear of one person who committed suicide by idling their electric car in a confined space.

  513. Nomiki was in the room so to speak so I respect her view. But she is wrong to say the Democratic party doesn't want to win. If they didn't want to win they wouldn't have been so pissed that Hillary isn't president today. More correct is to say that centrist would rather lose to a Republican than win with a progressive. The people in power in the DNC realize that they have more in common with the party of Trump than they have with Bernie Sanders and AOC. The correct answer is that it is time for a new major party one that the independents and non voters will join. We live in a country where both major parties combined get less than half of all Americans to join them. There are literally more Americans who don't align with any party than align with both. That is a cry for a new party. If we all join the Green party it will become the largest party.

She is doing to AOC what was done to her and you can literally see it breaking down AOC in tears as she knows she betrayed her believes and voters by falling in line and voting as she was told by Nancy. It is the death of 1000 cuts and the cuts are on record for you to see. You are the one who isn't understanding how history is repeating itself.

  535.  @interdimensionalsteve8172  we know how AOC voted if you want to believe she was crying for a different reason while she betrayed the beliefs she campaigned on and her fellow squad members that is your right. But the reality remains Nancy Pelosi talked to her she voted against the campaign platform and her fellow squad members and she was in tears. I guess if it makes you feel better you think those things are not all related that she would have been gleefully voting against her campaign values if it wasn't for something else making her cry you have an even lower oppion of her that I have. It would mean you don't believe she is a person who ever believed her campaign platform. I believe she wants to do good things and it is hurting her that the Democratic establishment is winning her over. She isn't the same person who said I don't care if fighting the good fight makes me a one term member. She has changed.

  536.  @interdimensionalsteve8172  the progressive caucus has 97 members of the house and one member of the Senate according to Google. So tell me if that isn't enough to make change from the inside how many members of the house do you think it takes to have leverage over Nancy Pelosi to force a vote for Medicare for All in the house? Because if 97 isn't enough when Nancy Pelosi can't afford to loose more than a handful of her caucus you are the one who doesn't understand leverage.

  543.  @greenith  no you don't understand the problem with the public option version is that Medicare is not able to be cost competitive because it has an unfair burder of being the insurance of last resort so it has much higher costs.

The people working at home are lucky and able to continue to pay their bills the 50 million Americans who lost their jobs through no fault of their own during a global pandemic are the ones who need government assistance to keep making their payments. If your employer pays you so little you need a UBI to pay your rent you definitely need to join the fight for a living wage.

  549.  louis foxwell  During the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, from 1953 to 1961, the top income bracket in the United States climbed to a marginal tax rate of 91 percent. Taxes on corporate profits were two times as great as they are in 2017, and that's before the current proposal to cut that rate to 21 percent.Dec 19, 2017 Eisenhower's Tax Policies Invested in the Future, Not the Few | Essay | ...

  550.  louis foxwell  the greedy ones as you put it are the people making more then 10 million dollars a year. The mean income per capita was $48,150 in 2017. Ar the mean income it will take 207 years for the avg American to earn what the ultra wealthy earn before they start to pay the top marginal tax in a single year at 10 million dollars. So who is the greedy person? As to the question of is it a good idea. Yes in the 20s we had high income inequality actually less then today and it caused the great depression. From the 30s through the 70s we had high marginal taxes to correct the income inequality and it was the golden age of economic growth in the USA. If the wealthy have to choose between taxes and investment in their companies they reinvest and grow the company. Today with low taxes they take the money out in stock buybacks and dividends. So yes I believe in learning from history and the lesson on income inequality and marginal taxes is clear for anyone who cares enough to study it.

  551.  louis foxwell  your argument makes no since but I am glad to see there is a defender of the richest 16,000 Americans out of a population of 350 million Americans. Clearly when they make 207 times more then the avg person per year they need someone to advocate for them.

Today you apply for Medicare when you reach 65 and the government pays for the care covered by Medicare you are free to buy any additional insurance or not to apply for Medicare. But most Americans understand they would be foolish to not apply for Medicare when they turn 65. However it isn't required that you do apply when you turn 65.

The reality is more than half of all Americans didn't get to vote in the primary because the democratic party made sure the nominee was effectively chosen before they voted. Think about that the Democratic party put more focus on South Carolina then New York when choosing their nominee. Don't blame the voters when the system is rigged against them. When you let a state which you will lose in the general election choose your nominee it is probably not a great strategy

  571. 280 superdelegates are members of Congress. 24 superdelegates are Democratic governors. We need to pressure these elected officials to vote with the plurality of primary voters or be voted out of office in November.

  572. @aaronpolitical you are still making the lesser of 2 evils arguments and not listening to what I said. There is a saying those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Thanks for proving that there is in fact one way the Democrats can loose and it is to refuse to listen and learn from their mistakes.

  573.  @miker.9138  so you would rather see 4 more years of trump. Nice to see a Hillary Clinton supporter admit they never cared about beating trump in the first place they would rather loss to a Republican then win with a progressive as Jimmy Doore always saids. By the way your hypocrisy is amazing.

  574.  @zenzmurfy  wrong about the minimum wage vs UBI. Min wage raises only the poor and addresses income inequality. UBI gives the same benefit to 100% of society which means it by definition doesn't address income inequality but simply increases the supply of dollars in the economy. When you increase the supply of money in an economy alone it causes inflation. That is very basic ecominic theory proven the world over from war time Germany to modern Zimbabwe.

  575.  @zenzmurfy  only if you believe our government runs a balanced budget. Spoiler alert there are over 20 trillion reasons to believe that government programs are not fully funded. But given our current tax code fully funded in taxes would actually only transfer more wealth to the wealthy elite because our tax code favors them not the working class. Yang definitely will hurt the working class with his sales tax.

  576.  @zenzmurfy  the VAT doesn't tax wealth as in savings and insanely high income. It is a tax on consumption same as a sales tax. This is regressive because those who have the lease income have to spend more of their income to simply buy the basics in life. Someone like Jeff Bezos doesn't spend even 1% of his income on food or a basic studio apartment and basic minimum clothing. But the person who is just barley earning a living wage spends 100% of their income on simple basics so you tax 100% of their income equivalent to taxing less then 1% of Jeff Bezos income for the same basics they purchase. It is very simple to understand why any tax on consumption is regressive once you realize that income inequality results in wealth people having saving that far exceed their earning or spending. We need a heavy progressive estate tax to break up the class based society which results from generational wealth. The current president is a prime example of that peoblem he and his children would be living in a trailer park based on Trumps business skills if his father hadn't managed to pass down a fortune to him. But we also need to simplify the tax code and eliminate all the loopholes. Go back to where the income tax started where you only pay a tax on earning over the cost of living. I would set the standard deduction to the minimum wage x the 40 hour work week x 52 weeks. There would be no deductions beyond that and all earnings would be considered income regardless of the source. The tax rate would be progressive with the top bracket back in the 90% range it was in during the golden age of economic growth in this nation. Oh and as someone who was a controls engineer for 20 years designing automated industrial equipment I don't buy the hype about automation. AOC is correct that there is plenty of work which we need to do as a country to keep full employment.

  577. This is class warfare and my class is winning - Warren Buffett Joe Manchin took the wrong message from 1/6 the country is divide to a greater degree than any point in history but the divide is between the wealth and the working class. Everything else is culture wars to keep the working class from standing together against the wealthy who bought Joe Manchin and his colleagues.

  583.  @joanalcala7303  this is only a problem when people become complacent and elect idiot conservatives who don't believe in government. But even with all the cost cutting in England their single payer system has handled the pandemic better then here. Plus look at how Boris Johnson did a 180 on NHS when he was hospitalized. The reality is single payer healthcare is protected by the fact that wealthy people in power and politicians don't want to distort their own healthcare. Just like how we have never gone back to dirt roads after the government took responsibility for road management. Or how we don't fire all the government workers supporting our air traffic system and allow planes to fall out of the sky or crash into each other at the airports. The examples if things our government does well are endless you are just brainwashed by half a century of propaganda to the point you can't even see the quality of the roads outside your front door.

  585.  @NeonNights80  trying the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Voting for the same politician who couldn't pass a public option when he had a supermajority and didn't need a Republican vote to do it and expecting him to pass it now is delusional. I really don't understand your last comment it sounds like you are saying either have the government insure no one or everyone. I can assure you the first is a non starter tell people over 65 that you are ending Medicare and you will see politicians bounced out of Washington and flooded with calls faster than you can finish the sentence. So I guess your point is that a public option isn't workable and we need to go directly to Medicare for All. Honestly I could give a shit less what the Republicans fear monger about let them look like heartless bastards who would deny people healthcare during a global pandemic. Because that is a losing argument when 70% of all Americans want Medicare for All in the latest polls. Let the Republicans pander to the remaining 30% of their base because last time I checked in a democracy 70% support is considered a winning result for a candidate.

  586.  @dianarobertson3478  the ACA left 10s of millions of Americans without insurance so no everyone didn't get coverage. Also if you bothered to check you would see that the cost of insurance has gone up year over year. So sorry but if that was the goal of the ACA it was a total failure. All it did was prove that our for profit system is not salvageable. That the a profit motive has no place in healthcare.

  587.  @dianarobertson3478  the corporate Democrats are also for profiteering and big business. It is why Obama bailed out the banks while allowing 6 million Americans to get foreclosed on. The reality is they could have bailed out the homeowner helping the people and saved the banking sector just as well but there was no profit for BlackRock who became the nation's largest landlord during the 2009 bailout.

  588.  @dianarobertson3478  6 million Americans where foreclosed on so maybe you where one of the few lucky ones but 6 million Americans is a big flaw with that legislation

  589.  @dianarobertson3478  you can blame the failure of the Democratic party on the Republicans all you want. But the Obama administration chose to bailout the bankers not the citizens. John Stewart pointed out at the time the fallacy of saying they couldn't pay off the mortgage for citizens because of moral hazard while exnoring the moral hazard of bailing out the banks who wrote those mortgages in the first place.

  594.  @ianh1504  me thinks you are trying to be hyper literal. Those small countries got named Banana republics not because of the crop that was raised in the country but because of the fact that that the companies which marketed the bananas took control of the government. Seems appropriate to call the United States a Banana republic under those terms. The barrons of industry have captured our government here the say way they captured the government in all other banana republics.

Jerod I thought the citizens of the states where also the citizens of the United States of America so please define the our you are saying these supplies belong to if not the tax payers of all 50 states in the United States. Because we need to know where the funds came from the buy these supplies and why they are being denied to the American citizens in need.

  607.  MidScream1  clearly Medicare and public education is not against the constitution as it has never been challenged on those grounds. But Trump is in violation of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution. But the point is you clearly stated stacking the supreme court was a good thing take your fascist ideology elsewhere. I believe in our democracy.

Or that murders them in the streets. Or throws 75 year old men on the pavement and puts them in the ICU. Tell me where are all the right wing extremists who wanted to fight off the tyrannical government? Oh right they are now all the fascist who are supporting the tyrannical government because they never believed they could fight off the worlds largest military with their gun after all.

  614. Use the money you spend today to paying for enrollment in college to buy your EV. Bernie Sanders will be making college free and forgiving the debt you already have for college loans. That will easily cover a used Nissan leaf with more than 60 miles range for about $5000 on the market today.
    1
  615.  @artsloan2295  where is the sacrifice in spending less money to buy an EV then he currently spends just to attend college? Sounds like a win win for him. Not to mention that fueling the EV will also cost 1/5 the price of fueling the gas guesser he drives today. Saving him more money.

  616.  @artsloan2295  good thing a Nissan leaf or Tesla model 3 is no where near that expensive expecally used.

  617.  @artsloan2295  base price on a Model 3 is $35,000 which is infact way less then the $50,000 you listed as unaffordable so you are wrong. $35,000 < $50,000 go back to 4th grade and take math again.

  618.  @artsloan2295  the Ford F150 which is the #1 selling vehicle in North America so is definitely cheap enough for Americans to buy list price runs from $28,155 - $70,560 The Nissan LEAF list price is $29,990. Which puts both the Nissan and Tesla in the lower end of the F150 price range. Which again is the #1 selling vehicle in North America so clearly they are affordable to most all new car buyers. By the way you can buy a used Nissan leaf for under $5000 again well within the price range of the used car buyers.
