@Bomber_Boi Open borders? No one is. But, humane treatment for refugees seeking asylum? Yes. Government funded, standardized education for underprivileged kids? Absolutely! That's the only path out of the poverty cycle. Try it sometime. Abolish all police? BFS, Trumptard rhetoric! Hold police accountable for excessive force and racially motivated killings of blacks. You betcha! No more beef? Wouldn't hurt anyone, but could save the earth's rainforests, lungs of the world. I voluntarily stopped eating beef in 1980, when I saw the Amazon destruction. Zero air travel? Okay, admittedly that's unrealistic. But, biofuel could be used instead, along with booking improvements to minimize 'empty' flights. Banning fossil fuels? ASAP! At least wherever possible, including soil polluting fertilizers. ETC? 100%! ?? That's Trump's plan. Speaking of Trump's 'plan', tell me one single policy that benefits the environment and/or mitigates climate change. Tell my one thing that YOU are prepared to do about it....ZZZ, zzz, ... <crickets>

@Bomber_Boi This is exactly why I wish that she would STFU! The ballot doesn't have Sanders/Cortez on it because they LOST the primary. So, whatever they say means absolutely nothing, except to persuade ppl like you to vote for a traitor, instead of Biden/Harris. Yet, here you are, talking about their BS, instead of keeping your eye on the 'playing field'. Instead of defending our nation from Trump's mob and their corruption, you are only worrying about their BS.

Biden supports the late T. Boone Picken's path to reducing the use of petroleum. Fracking is only an interim step of replacing coal fueled power plants (the worst polluters) with clean natural gas. That's only to provide time to ramp up sustainable alternatives, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and e-vehicles. Unfortunately, I have never heard that actually spelled out by anyone in the Democratic party. That agenda needs to be explained, instead of allowing so much misunderstanding and misinformation.

AOC's comments regarding climate change are undeniable. But, unfortunately, she is being overly naive to believe that she can convince voters, politicians, all levels of government, and corporations to support her Green Deal between now and the election. Timing is everything. AOC and other Dems are leaning so far left that they will only be rejected by the majority of voters, guaranteeing their own losses next November. That would be self defeating and result in an inevitable environmental catastrophe. Sure, candidates should run on addressing climate change, but not frighten voters away. Step #1 Win the elections, including the majority of both Congressional bodies. Step #2 Then, wholeheartedly work with Congress to legislate whatever policies are possible. Some of the Dem candidates need serious reality checks, instead of making their party un-electable, with a socialist label. 🤙Aloha!🤙

@Steven Prime BFS! America is a democratic republic, 'as long as we can keep it'.

Okay, so I see hundreds of videos on your channel, but nothing on the DNC's most viable candidate. When are you going to do some research and tell voters who Sir Michael Bloomberg is?

IMHO, Trump is involved in the takeover of our government, a coup being executed by his mob 'family' and motley cabinet of henchmen. It will happen as soon as the Republicans regain the House majority after the backlash of a failed impeachment. Trump already has the sworn loyalty of the Senate Republicans, so he is already half the way there. When he eliminates term limits, as suggested, he will become no different than any other corrupt fascist dictator.
