  1. Tulsi is great, Bernie is great, a Bernie-Tulsi ticket would be dynamite....BUT! The American people have to identify their political enemies by class not as individuals.

  2. Lets see if the students acquired from the education the will to fight back. The same ones who voted to relieve the tax burden of the rich are the same ones who voted to not relieve the debt burden of the students.

  3. It wasn't trustworthy when Hoover ran it. That tells me where you are at.

  4. raising the wage would also allow people to afford children and not have to consider an abortion as a way of lowering the cost of a family. Pathetic how they use a low wage to perpetuate a choice between a child and food on the table in this society.

  5. Brilliant young lady. The argument that debt cancelation is unfair to those who paid their loans can be easily put to rest with “ they got the jobs that cleared them as debtors”.

  6. The economic conditions of our time includes the fact that women make up the bulk of the workforce. It is not the workforce it was coming out of the second world war. And it is not the fault of women for entering the workforce. Employers found in them a cheaper source of labor that at the same time offered a way out of the unpaid domestic work as mother and housewife. There is the element of a class struggle which was aimed at education on the one hand, and de-skilling the workforce with automation on the other hand. Capital decimated the American family household and dehumanized education with politics, which also affected girls. The old divisions between skilled and unskilled labor, union and non-union, became a new generation of industrially unskilled future workers to meet the needs of monopoly corporations owned by around 500 dynastic families. A steady stream of profitability requires a compliant workforce. Today, nobody is skilled in the labor force. All this came about through NAFTA and Reaganomics which brings us to austerity in the present. It proves that capitalism cannot function without unemployment and economic crisis and the social conditioning of obedience of individuals through tyranny.

  9. Who is this Porter woman another progressive social democrat? The best analogy I can give that nails a social democrat as actually more anti-working class than the conservative right wing are the labor unions. Trades Unions work well as centers of resistance against the encroachments of Big Business. Progressives work well as a pocket of resistance against political republican encroachments. But both of them, unions and social democrats, fail in the injudicious use of their power, they limit themselves to the effects of the existing corruption on he working population, instead of using their forces as levers to free working people from the corruption, that is to say the ultimate aboliton of corruption

  14.  @johnsuder7671  Well, the nation is not an oligarchy but it has an oligarcy in the nation the multinational corporations most other nation's oligarchy's do business with...notice throughout this entire social explosion the oligargical private sector is quiet. The law I will state is an economic law not a political one. In human history the division of labor alters earlier forms of labor exploitation. Plato called it the "curse of mankind" in his Republic Bk I. Applied to now the earlier form of exploiting labor during the height of America's economic successes is gone, vanished by the deskilling of labor and more automation making the objective conditions so organized that more subjective freedom is lost in the process of reporducing individuals and families in society. I will state that the progressives have completely embraced the democratic party's approval of these new objective restrictions taking all our freedom away and subjecting us to a modern division of labor Plato would call not the curse of mankind but the death of mankind. If you cannot see that it is the oligarchical political establishment the far right is reacting with anarchism and violence, fearless, has scared the bejheezus out of the entire political establishment that all of them on the left and the right have united as one social class against the people who they cannot distinguish if one is an anarchists or neo fascist militia except now given the technology, they have a profile and made arrests. This constitutes my point about objective restriction resulting in arrests of anyone for any reason. None of the apprehended earn a living by a minimum wage but it is the whole class of minimum wage earners who are subjected to no freedom at all.

  15. Oh, brother where are their heads? Don't they understand that competition affects the price of any infrastructure project in three different ways? The Defense Production Act would cost less when five, ten, twenty big corporations cooperate to produce a new infrastructure project. If they love it so much they should pay for it. Competition among sellers forces commodity prices down when they want to sell. But there is a competition among buyers that they don't tell us about that is the spoiler. Here among buyers the price of the commodities they want to buy goes up. Lastly, competition does another thing. All buyers and sellers compete to buy cheaper to sell as high as possible. All of this sets the stage for a battle where only one of the three kinds of competitions going on at the same time wins. The chaos of competition will generate sheer social anarchy in society. Sellers and buyers and sellers competing for the greater share of the Emergency Rescue Package Part II the American people will be made to pay for generations to come.

  16. The small business owner turned politician uses language rooted in social chauvinism and opportunism.  His opinions of the failures of social democracies in Europe and Latin America have to do with human history and social progress whatever their form not because a given party had policies unleashed this potential. Nations do have minds of their own and see the diminishing role of a super power over their lives as a relief to grow the way they want to grow.

  18. Why isn't Biden dead already? What brought him back to life, how was he resuscitated? When Bernie said Biden could beat Trump on national TV was the moment Biden was rescuscitated from the dead. Proves progressives can attack the republicans all they want but if they attack the people in their own party their dead and the American people lose every f'n time!

  24. Indeed, the presidency is a commodity. Its value is its power its form is money and its job is to make capital. The presidency starts with money and ends with more money. Once someone leaves the presidency they are no longer the equal of everyone else they are richer than everyone else. This is why the presidency leads so many into a search for the excess surplus-value and where it comes from?

  26. Not only is Biden, and this is by his own admission, a ‘capitalist’, but he is also a believer in less government. Society pays a big price to have a government; its tragic that one person can deny 332 million people a thing they pay for. My hunch for his receding the federal government from social responsibility thus, avoiding a national policy on COVID, he would have to socialize the private hospital care system first and the opposition to that has greater pull in government than the American people do.

  27. Most people who want to lower their cost do it by hiring less people. After all..once you spent the money on a tractor you can't return it. Nobody wants to deprive life. Abortion as a choice can only be done away with by a higher wage.   If this man can't see that he is blind as a bat flies sonar.  Imagine the positive effects if the family in society were not a thing you can buy  where only the rich have thrived and the poor deprived. If we got to solving this dilemma, a Roe V Wade would not even be a necessary law. In fact, the resolution of this reluctance to increase wages is Roe v. Wade.

  28. I don't know about you but I want the democratic party under new leadership. Frankly, four more years of this BS is a losing proposition. Some of the billionaires might have their hearts and minds in the right place but they are billionaires! And a few of the others are opportunists leaving Sanders as the only genuine article the middle class and working class would best be represented. So that's it, 2020 is going to be Trump and the Billionaires versus Bernie and the People.

  29. Crazy...the Trump defense build up took place when the big four enemies of the US, China, NK, Russia and Iran, have been totally non-threatening to the US and the rest of the world of nations ravaged and damaged by a pandemic and climate change catastrophe. There is not even a threat out there to justify this build up.

  30. Argentina has another neoliberal who comes off as different than the establishment and grabs votes but is more aligned to the Establishment than his predecessor. He hasn’t gone after the private sector for money has he? There you have it.

  31. “Something I cannot state publicly”, the man is sworn to secrecy. What can a Senate hearing accomplish when government is sworn to secrecy? Nothing. There is a power that enforces secrecy and this undermines function of an open society. Why the US is the only nation on earth that has this issue?

  32. A race to the bottom...what broke in the business community that made the labor movement come back to life was the business community's decision to export their product and production to China over the last 30 years, beginning in the 1990's under the Clinton administration. Thirteen years before hand, downsizing, bankruptcies, is how the export of production took place side by side with a concentration of capital in the business community. We can trace every social problem the US has to the 1990's the start of the Neo liberal era when Democrats traded domestic issues to capitalize on the diminishing role of the government as a political program to sell to Big Industry in certain sectors of the economy, -- led to a new labor movement.

  33. With a law in force granting immunity to executives and they still want to suppress the data of casualties in nursing homes presupposes the law is not written in stone. Sometime in the future they could be tried for 15,000 deaths when the winds of politics change. Vanishing the lives of 15,000 people is a crime to the living who belong to those fatalities. Erase the dead and you erase the living in the personal genealogy of those families, there will be a blank about what happened to that man or woman as a relation. This is an abomination of an act to bestow upon a public by a public official. Not one person in the future will answer the question a child will ask when they want to learn where and who their grandparent was except their parents but as far as society is concerned that grandparent is that child's figment of their imagination. Sorry, there is no record of this person. What happens if the deceased left a fortune and heirs are to be determined? What happens when the personal data of the deceased are stolen and sold s new identities for other living people? What happens to the person trying to prove they are not a relation? Cuomo is man of low integrity, a shameless creature to have done this...were the social security funds of the deceased 15,000 souls absconded by Cuomo and the executives before those too expired via 15,000 forged death certificates?

  37. I don't think the petty interest of hedge fund managers is even capable of becoming the common national interest of a class, these days, and the way things are going. Now after the first bailouts working Americans expect to go first in line. Wall Street gets from the Senate whatever it wants. But their petty rural narrowmindedness and city-like swolenheadedness has born an arrogant and odios privileged character to Wall Street. An aura that if they were not bailed out the entire capitalist world would collapse overnight.

  38. Horrid, awful man is the governor...a political animal. Say nothing of the significance of leaving the remains of a 110 deceased under the debris is callous. He could not say the building has to come down the rescue effort ends. Would you like your mother and grandmother left in the ground that could loosen with water saturation and debris moved by natural forces could, likely will, bring skeletal remains to the surface or be found even if there is a memorial park over the spot the building fell? This job could take years to recover all the deceased and if the recovery stops,---residents are okay with that? What a colossal failure.

  40. Bill Gates does what a monopolist does, stifles progress. The under capacity of machine products made by the machine industries cuts their production down. Employment and income levels fall in several industries. An example people can understand what Bill Gates does in the field of public health and the vaccine world is what McDonalds does to every franchise owner in the burger world with their Ice Cream Machine that are forever broken. It is written into the contract that the machines are to be repaired only by the maker of the machine or else! Taylor the Ice Cream Machine manufacturer can then corner the market and keep employed the small machine Taylor authorized machine repair men as independent business owners. Stifling new machine makers from entering the market and then Taylor goes on to own the other machine makers in the event you do go to another maker its still Taylor your doing business with. How these monopolists move to get larger shares of the market is by making more industries dependent on them for the instruction manual, the How To's Fix a Problem is kept secret. Of course the other side of the problem of the constant broken ice cream machines is a work crew poorly paid and not well secure do not care about a machine that does not belong to them or the manager is unorganized to time the cleaning of the machine just right so that it can be used by lunch. The work crew hired by Bill Gates are not as indifferent to the machines they work on for Bill Gates, his machines, they are better paid, secure, more respected by their peers and society. But when it comes down to it,--- both work crews in McDonalds and in the Gates Empire have renounced their right or claim to the product they make and to its use value derived from that product the second they signed on to work for McDonald's or the Bill Gates Foundation.

  41. A significant component of white nationalist ideology is to never admit your failed or did wrong. On the hard end of the ideology, when defeat is imminent suicide is the way out. On the soft end, in the realm of social propaganda, corrections chip away at the foundation of lies, raise doubt, impede the swift indoctrination process on which a news organization becomes the voice of nationalism spreading its deceptions.

  42.  @devilzadvocate7735  Time only exists on earth. There is no such thing as time in the Universe or sound. These are two earthly dimensions that owe their existence to gravity. Mankind uses Time is used to measure labor, i.e., duration of labor time. There is nothing natural about time, it is purely a social concept. Therefore the beginning of time is the beginning of mankind’s transition from a consumer of nature to a producer of nature making nature a product of mankind, hence, climate change.

  44. The New Housing Crisis is really the process of creating a permanent social class of renter-workers who will have to live in the periphery of the properties bought by the super rich. What will follow is what is a 'clearing' of the old buildings of the adjoining properties purchased as one large tract of land. A young couple will never afford a home as long as monopoly price leveraging is de-regulated.

  47. It shows that the financial crash of 2007 had a double purpose. A pivotal point when the productiveness of labor moved offshore and it is no longer a part of the American working class. And it shows the horrendous mistake of bailing out the banks in 2002 and 2008, a blow to the American people, the crash, bankruptcies, foreclosures, loss of jobs and industry, and two bail outs and two Tax Breaks, and to add salt to the wounds a deadbeat Congress avoiding legislation to keep that productivity home. The Financial Crash of 2007 was the turning point of the end of American prosperity.  The most outright serious case of abandonment by a political elite to ever be recorded in human history.

  49. Biden's current problem related to the economy is still too many people out of a job but relative to the American rescue package the estimates seem to point to a 6% economic growth. US Employers are not hiring, they seem to be so diversified high yields come from other sources. How do you get them to invest capital in America? Trump tried and failed.

  50. I could never vote for Bloomberg bad enough i have to listen to Trump's monotone.  Eight years of Bloomberg's voice would drive me crazy. Never mind his policies. Republicans are the preservationists of the power elite and the democratic party are the conspirators of the power elite. The republican party are owned by two super billionaires (now one deceased) through which the agenda of one corporation and industry gets its way and the democrats are purchase-able or auction-able by different elites bidding the most money.
