  63. Sorry to disagree with Sam Seder but I don't believe Warren based on her record will fight for the issues she is running on the same as Bernie that was already for the issues he's running on well before running for President. Do expect Warren to give concessions especially since she said she would take corp donations in the general and turns out she is using dark money now, too, since we have learned she transferred what was left of her Senate run to use now in the primary. Warren was totally silent AT THE TIME peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock! And that was when Warren still thought she was Native American but she didn't even speak out against the horrific brutalization of what she thought was her own people! Bernie spoke out against it, visited their communities and reservations as well as participated in protests in their behalf. If Warren gets president and more pipelines are allowed to go through their lands or anyone else's lands don't act surprised. She is all over the place on Medicare for all so that would be the best place for Warren to compromise to make her corp donors happy. How many picket lines has she been on? On Healthcare, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris Think You’re Stupid https://benjaminstudebaker.com/2019/07/09/on-healthcare-elizabeth-warren-and-kamala-harris-think-youre-stupid/?fbclid=IwAR3W0kpjv4Nld_XI2IzuzYJpeFJlZkHKBUNvMFyBc9YKQ-LRynwye13e9pI Warren’s votes to approve 68 percent of military spending bills reveal a lack of conviction on tackling the very obstacle she acknowledges" https://portside.org/2019-04-04/heres-how-2020-candidates-stack-war-and-peace she has voted to approve over two-thirds of the “bloated” military spending bills that have come before her in the Senate." Elizabeth Warren Gets Endorsement From Wall Street — The Political Vigilante https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEPn9c7Edls Ms. Warren left Dow Chemical off her 2012 list of clients. After Mr. Jacobson’s blog revealed her representation, she spun her work for the industrial giant as instrumental in setting up a $2.3 billion trust to pay women who said they were injured by the implants. That explanation, though, doesn’t jibe with her duty as an attorney for Dow, where she was bound to represent the company’s interests. “The notion that Warren was representing anyone other than her client is preposterous,” Mr. Jacobson said. “As an attorney, she had a duty of loyalty to Dow Chemical. If she explored possible ways in which Dow Chemical could extricate itself through settlement, her services were on behalf of and for the benefit of Dow Chemical, not the women.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/28/elizabeth-warren-corporate-lawyer-past-looms-over-/ Her statement on Assange: "Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement." End of quote. Assange didn't harm national security. She can't condemn the Justice dept in one sentence for curtailing freedom and in the next condemn someone that was exercising their press freedom. ELIZABETH WARREN SAYS SHE WOULD TAKE BRIBES FROM THE 1 PERCENT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itiacoqgdQI Warren on healthcare https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/video/warren-open-to-different-paths-to-medicare-for-all/vi-BBUWihc Around 1:18 into the video "I have also sponsered other bills" https://jacobinmag.com/2019/09/elizabeth-warren-campaign-medicare-for-all “I support Medicare for All. I think it’s a good plan,” she said, before quickly adding, “I support a lot of plans. Other things that people have come up with, when they’re good plans, let’s do it. This isn’t some sort of contest.” https://www.businessinsider.com/elizabeth-warren-medicare-for-all-plan-lacks-specifics-2019-9?r=US&IR=T

  95. At least I understand his views on this when he said "It was the Palestinian leadership that walked away from a two step solution and pledged itself to the destruction of the Jewish people and you know that's a very very clear history and I think at a time they had a very very generous solution on the table..." Him saying that was not on this channel here that I heard but he said it in the actual interview! You want a honest candidate/politician/president that won't say just what you want to hear but them being honest about their views, their positions, but then when they honest about their views??? He could had said what most people would want to hear? But he's honest about his views like them or not. Ed Dowd, "One of the biggest parts of his platform is freedom first. And we have medical tyranny and lack of first Amendment Rights in this country at the moment and until we get those back all the other issues you may or may not agree with Bobby on are kind of kicking around sand in a sandbox without those core tenants of medical autonomy and freedom of speech we got nothing so that's what we can rally around..." end of quote There is not anyone I agree with on everything but my priorities are our freedoms that I agree with him on. He's anti mandates, anti digital currency, anti banning free speech, wants to eliminate the Patriot Act and those reasons are why I am voting for him! He also said in the actual interview "Palestinians are mistreated in Israel..." so I am sure he wants them to have peace between them.

  176.  @MrRKF1  Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it even if I thought his policies were better which I do NOT!

  199.  @auagfinder6541  You don't come on my thread and dictate to me what to stop or not stop! You are not dropping being against it so don't expect me to drop why I am for it! You want to defend the insurance companies making billions of dollars in profits off of sick and dying people have at it but just shows where your priorities are and certainly not where mine are! And since you are being so disingenuous on implying Bernie doesn't accomplish anything here's some good information to debunk that but it's probably too long for you to read or listen to? Bernie Sanders Accomplishments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aER6WSs9AmY&feature=youtu.be Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! Many bills can NOT be passed without Amendments so it's foolish to dismiss them as not being important to think of them as not being accomplishments, TOO!! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular! He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it. He spoke out against the peaceful Natives Americans being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi. He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board that he helped prevent from passing. His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage. He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have That looks like a lot of accomplishments and consistency to me! https://twitter.com/GunnelsWarren/status/1147713369127956481 Approx 3 minutes into Video Pete says Bernie was "pretty successful in working with people across the Isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHvg32d8l9o

Now, I don't agree with Bernie on everything but he comes closer than any of the others on my views. Seattle, one of the cities to more recently raise the minimum wage to $15, has seen large increases in employment and income. According to MyNorthwest.com, not only have many of the businesses who opposed the increase seen higher employment numbers, some are even opening additional locations. In 2014, a study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that the 13 states that increased the minimum wage saw employment numbers increase faster than states that did not, an average of 0.85 percent compared to 0.61 percent in the other 37 states. OVER 200 ECONOMISTS SIGNED A PETITION IN SUPPORT OF A $15 U.S. MINIMUM WAGE AS OF 2020

  290. Jaded Medic Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it even if I thought his policies were better which I do NOT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtBt2OSL2Mw&feature=youtu.be

  295.  kyle grant  Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act. Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't! Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November. After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-course-223436 Trump's 30 Biggest Broken Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD_xyAjC-E Kellyanne Conway's IDIOTIC Statement on Dayton Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwya0sdXDxc Trump makes jokes about someone who suggests we shoot immigrants.

  306. @David Garcia Hogwash on what Yang's expansion is claimed to do! There is more than one type of social security! Yang would make some of the poorest people choose between welfare assistance and UBI. That's NO expansion for them! And to set the record straight what Bernie offered his campaign to start with which was equivalent to $15 an hour they turned down! You do know they are unionized but the end agreement ending up not only giving them equal to more than $15 an hour but great healthcare! A lot of workers would love to have their income and benefits. Over 200 economists have signed a pledge to raise the min wage to $15. I think they know more than you do as well as over 200 economists are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all of which Yang IMO is a liar and fraud the way he uses the label for his benefit but against the Bill. Hey that's what he said was correct, he's using the label so don't blame me for what he said. https://twitter.com/PoppyHarlowCNN/status/1153675747774664705 I also disagree with your opinion on UBI and so do 144 other references as far as it doing everything Yang claims. CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI.

  338.  @shayreed8740  Biden voted for the bad trade deals that took some of our jobs away and for the Iraq war that took some of our women and guys away but also Obama and Biden tried to cut Social Security that would had taken some of our seniors Social Security income away and those are just facts. Also cutting Veterans incomes that are on Social Security. I will not now or ever defend the insurance companies that profit billions off of sick and dying people so I am also for Bernie's Medicare for all bill but I can tell you as a Republican when I saw seniors in my family worry constantly if those Social Security cuts were going to pass that Obama and Biden were pushing I would had left the Republican party and voted for Bernie just because of that because while Obama and Biden were pushing Social Security cuts with most Dems on board as well as Republicans, it was Bernie that started a movement against those cuts and thankfully they did not pass! Bernie is one of the few that has been against any and all Social Security cuts for decades. I'm not talking about those cuts Biden also pushed back in the 1990s but the Social Security cuts Obama and Biden pushed that was included in the "Grand Bargain" that would not had been grand if it had passed! Maybe those Social Security cuts would had been ok with you just to make sure you didn't vote for his free college tuition that would be paid for by a Wall Street Speculation tax. The first $29.000 in income would pay ZERO in taxes for his Medicare for all and what's above that only 4 percent until like the top 5 percent of wage earners would pay more so I don't know about you but that's a lot cheaper than what I pay now for premiums, deductibles, co pays, and other out of pocket expense that would be totally eliminated and would no longer have to pay that with his Medicare for all bill.

  344. Great video on Warren and adding to the rest of my research on her. WARREN the I won't take dark money in the primary but will the general might as well take it in the primary because to me there is no difference! Either way they will be beholding to those corp donors. So many reasons why I don't trust her and you need to think twice if you think she would win the general. Warren was totally silent while peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock and that was when she still thought she was Native American. What about the crimes against those peaceful Native Americans? She wouldn't even fight for what she thought was her people or care about the crimes against them but you think she so will do something about the crimes against the immigrants she mentioned or for any of the rest of us. She is all over the place on Medicare for all so that would be the best place for Warren to compromise to make her corp donors happy. On Healthcare, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris Think You’re Stupid https://benjaminstudebaker.com/2019/07/09/on-healthcare-elizabeth-warren-and-kamala-harris-think-youre-stupid/?fbclid=IwAR3W0kpjv4Nld_XI2IzuzYJpeFJlZkHKBUNvMFyBc9YKQ-LRynwye13e9pI Warren’s votes to approve 68 percent of military spending bills reveal a lack of conviction on tackling the very obstacle she acknowledges" https://portside.org/2019-04-04/heres-how-2020-candidates-stack-war-and-peace she has voted to approve over two-thirds of the “bloated” military spending bills that have come before her in the Senate." Elizabeth Warren Gets Endorsement From Wall Street — The Political Vigilante https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEPn9c7Edls Ms. Warren left Dow Chemical off her 2012 list of clients. After Mr. Jacobson’s blog revealed her representation, she spun her work for the industrial giant as instrumental in setting up a $2.3 billion trust to pay women who said they were injured by the implants. That explanation, though, doesn’t jibe with her duty as an attorney for Dow, where she was bound to represent the company’s interests. “The notion that Warren was representing anyone other than her client is preposterous,” Mr. Jacobson said. “As an attorney, she had a duty of loyalty to Dow Chemical. If she explored possible ways in which Dow Chemical could extricate itself through settlement, her services were on behalf of and for the benefit of Dow Chemical, not the women.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/28/elizabeth-warren-corporate-lawyer-past-looms-over-/ Her statement on Assange: "Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement." End of quote. Assange didn't harm national security. She can't condemn the Justice dept in one sentence for curtailing freedom and in the next condemn someone that was exercising their press freedom.

  381.  @bluesrockfan36  Bernie has a RECORD of protecting Social Security! Yang does NOT and that's just a fact, no smear! Yang has made changes since he started running for president and that's just a FACT, no smear! No one can know for sure Yang won't go back to his original positions or even new ones which is also a fact. You said Yang didn't say anything even remotely close to eliminating the safety net and I said he did not to mention Yang has at his website unless he took it down about Friedman! I wonder why Yang would have that there since Friedman wanted to eliminate the safety net. HELLO! Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship everyone gets it and then what's going to happen is you're going to dramatically reduce the enrollment in these programs very very quickly because A lot of people will be like I prefer the cash and then this new incoming population would just opt for the dividend and then never end up on these welfare programs so you would end up shrinking the enrollments over time AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. Yang didn't push back on what Rubin said! Yang didn't tell Rubin that he was not going to do that! Instead Yang said, he just "wouldn't do it all at once". I am aware there are other interviews with Yang saying he wouldn't eliminate the safety net. I guess with all of his changes and lies you will just have to decide which Yang in which interview you want to trust/believe.

There is clearly a difference and besides those that agree with Bernie's policies Bernie's decades of fighting for us has earned out votes not bought them!

  403.  @morphkogan8627  So Bernie takes Corp donations now? Is no longer against Fracking? Is now supporting TPP? Against increasing Min wage? Wants to cut Social Security? Has thrown in the towel on Medicare for all?? Last I heard he was fighting for the same ISSUES he always has. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not because of who he supported in the last general. There was nothing Bernie could do with the results of the last primary with the super delegates stacked against him from the beginning! Bernie could not fight any longer when those super delegates were not going to change their minds! If Bernie had not kept his word on supporting the nominee his political career could had ended and as for me, I rather see him be able to continue to fight for the same issues he always has and he has done that then for what could had turned out ending his politically career where he would not had been able to keep fighting for the same issues he always has. After he lost the primary no one wanted him to run for President as an Independent more than I did but there was a huge risk for him to do that because clearly there is not enough people that vote's third party. It can be debated that he would had won but there is no way to know that for sure. If you haven't been listening to what the majority of Dems want, I have and that is anyone but Trump! I have even heard some of his own supporters at his Town Halls say they expect Bernie to support the nominee if he loses the primary.And the actress that said she was progressive but trying to tell everyone they should vote for Biden LOL Just too many people thought Hillary was the lesser of two evils. Others disagreed but not enough that would actually vote 3rd party! Even if some people feel like Trump is worse than Hillary and for sure others agree with that but there is also a lot of people that agree with Trump being worse so I didn't expect Bernie to do a Nader and I respected his decision that Trump was/is worse. I will vote for him again because of those same issues he is still for, not because of who he endorsed in the last primary. I sure was not, is not, a Hillary supporter! One of the main issues I am for is Medicare for all and I think Bernie is the only one that would fight for it since he has always been for it so I would be cutting off my nose to spite my face and shooting myself in the foot if I didn't vote for him just because I think he should had done something differently after he lost the last primary. He got bashed for not supporting Hillary more and then bashed for supporting her at all. He just couldn't win no matter what on that. I understand if someone disagrees with him on issues they won't vote for him.

  431. Yang's crumbs will not eradicate poverty! Why UBI isn't progressive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV2iMHVPlLE Listen to youtube channel "Real Progress In Action" video "Democratic Division Bell: Bernie vs The Rest of the Pack" and then WAKE UP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ6aASm0gRk Bernie polls overwhelmingly higher as being the most trusted candidate on many of the issues. Does not take a genius to know why! Knowing the intent of UBI if Charles Murray's, a conservative, if his version of UBI passed that would be a lot MORE HARMFUL than helpful and there would be that risk just like Obama ended up getting a Republican healthcare plan.

End of quote Richard Wolff even relates Yang as in trying to buy votes! "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions.... "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "Is likely to hurt more than it helps" "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get.""I don't see writing checks for everybody as a part of the American tradition. The American tradition is if you are able bodied you should work..." "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." Wendell Potter worked in the insurance industry said "we knew one of the huge vulnerabilities of the current system was LACK of choice. In the current system, you can’t pick your own doc, specialist, or hospital without huge “out of network” bills. So we set out to muddy the issue of "choice." "So if a politician tells you they oppose reforming the current healthcare system because they want to preserve "choice," either they don't know what they're talking about - or they're willfully ignoring the truth. I assure you, the insurance industry is delighted either way 11/11" https://twitter.com/wendellpotter/status/1206623259698974724 Former healthcare exec Wendell Potter rips and answers CNN's industry talking points https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxDj4TgnQIw https://egbertowillies.com/2018/08/06/nnu-single-payer-medicare-for-all/ https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2019/oct/24/andrew-yang/andrew-yangs-claim-support-among-trump-voters-rate/ https://www.technocracy.news/ontario-canada-abruptly-cancels-universal-basic-income-experiment/

  462.  @brightcosmo  When someone bashes one candidate for something they don't bash another for that is not fair criticism! It's hypocrites that have been doing that, that hurt our movement. I know I heard enough of their talking points as a reason to NOT vote for Bernie so if your criticism is done in a way it comes across as hate (not talking about you personally but anyone) then it's not the kind of criticism I am for! Also, when hating on Bernie while not hating on the many things that lead to Bernie losing is not passing that genuine criticism around to ALL that deserve it! Bernie did overwhelmingly win with voters age 45 to 50 AND under as well as with Independents in several states. They cared more about Bernie's policies than they did who Bernie called his friend! It was the older Biden voters that are not on social media that listened and believed the major news media that along with the Corp Dems dropping out, uniting behind Biden with Clyburg's endorsement that resulted in Bernie losing! I TALKED to enough Biden voters and heard from others that did, too, to know why Bernie lost and it's not the reason people hating on Bernie are saying. Now, that's just a fact whether you agree or disagree that Bernie should had also done this, or that, or the other, the fact is nothing Bernie would had done would had changed the older Biden voters the believed those lies the major news media threw at them. Everyone that is criticizing Bernie should run for office and see if they can do better but most would never go up against all that he has! I know I wouldn't.

  482. While I thank you for your service all the vets in my family are for Bernie! They said they would never vote for president someone that lacked the experience Yang does. And no, they didn't vote for Trump, either. Bernie's record speaks for itself as to not being a political stunt but that he genuinely cares about Veterans as well as everyone else. Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it even if I thought his policies were better which I do NOT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtBt2OSL2Mw&feature=youtu.be

  500.  MidScream1  Just to be clear Bernie voted against the first crime bill!! The second one he voted for because of the violence against women act and to ban assault weapons! Are you for violence against women? Or for assault weapons? Or both? As for your Bernie hasn't accomplished anything thank you for bringing that smear up so I can happily inform you of just how wrong you are!! Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular! He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it. He spoke out against the peaceful Natives being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi. He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board that he helped prevent from passing. His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage. He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have That looks like a lot of accomplishments and consistency to me!

  563.  @Mreffs101  Do you have any idea how many Dems believe vote blue no matter who? I didn't think so! EVEN AMONG BERNIE'S OWN SUPPORTERS many of them right now I am hearing that. There is no way Bernie would had won going third party! Our system is not set up for that. Bernie was bashed for supporting Hillary and bashed for not supporting her more. He was in a no win situation! Bernie did point out policy differences between him and Biden. You either were not listening or just trying to find fault. He had our backs when everyone was trying to stop civil rights, stop gay rights, before other politicians were fighting for that Bernie was risking his own political career. He stepped up and went against Obama and Biden's proposed Social Security cuts with most Dems on board so that took a lot of guts going up against Obama and thankfully those cuts did not pass. He is a lion fighting for policies we need and against those that would hurt workers or seniors or the middle class. He stood for our freedoms voting against the Patriot Act while most others on both sides voted for it, tried to stop the Iraq war. Stop thinking he should be perfect. No one is but he's a heck of a lot more perfect than most and look at Warren didn't have the guts to back up the only progressive in the race last time or this time. Bernie would back up a progressive first if they were in the lead but he is not going to do anything to help Trump win. Bernie also was standing up for the peaceful Native Americans that were brutalized at Standing Rock trying to get Obama to do something about it so Bernie has been there for us more times than any of us will have the chance to be there for him. AOC talked about the pressures every day in the House and I'm sure it's the same in the Senate. It's amazing Bernie has been able to have the guts to do what he has for decades. If it had been me, the way Bernie has been treated by the establishment and the media all of the lies and smears I wouldn't had lasted near as long as Bernie has. Think you can do better? Instead of complaining run for office and fight however you think you should fight to change things!

  594. I agree! If we seriously want Bernie to win we need to be spreading Warren's record to show she is not a real progressive! I think most know Biden isn't. And let them know the other candidate's records, too, that is not as good as Bernie's! WARREN the I won't take dark money in the primary but will the general might as well take it in the primary because to me there is no difference! Either way they will be beholding to those corp donors. So many reasons why I don't trust her and you need to think twice if you think she would win the general. Warren was totally silent while peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock and that was when she still thought she was Native American. What about the crimes against those peaceful Native Americans? She wouldn't even fight for what she thought was her people or care about the crimes against them but you think she so will do something about the crimes against the immigrants she mentioned or for any of the rest of us. She is all over the place on Medicare for all so that would be the best place for Warren to compromise to make her corp donors happy.

Elizabeth Warren Gets Endorsement From Wall Street — The Political Vigilante https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEPn9c7Edls Ms. Warren left Dow Chemical off her 2012 list of clients. After Mr. Jacobson’s blog revealed her representation, she spun her work for the industrial giant as instrumental in setting up a $2.3 billion trust to pay women who said they were injured by the implants. That explanation, though, doesn’t jibe with her duty as an attorney for Dow, where she was bound to represent the company’s interests. “The notion that Warren was representing anyone other than her client is preposterous,” Mr. Jacobson said. “As an attorney, she had a duty of loyalty to Dow Chemical. If she explored possible ways in which Dow Chemical could extricate itself through settlement, her services were on behalf of and for the benefit of Dow Chemical, not the women.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/28/elizabeth-warren-corporate-lawyer-past-looms-over-/ Her statement on Assange: "Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement." End of quote. Assange didn't harm national security. She can't condemn the Justice dept in one sentence for curtailing freedom and in the next condemn someone that was exercising their press freedom.

Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

  648.  @SCANLZ  Bernie's consistent record shows he don't give empty promises! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November. After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-course-223436 Trump's 30 Biggest Broken Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD_xyAjC-E Kellyanne Conway's IDIOTIC Statement on Dayton Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwya0sdXDxc Trump makes jokes about someone who suggests we shoot immigrants.

  650.  @23rico88  Not even close! Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee! "Economist at Duke University William and another economist from the New School Eric Hamilton relentless champions for a Federal Job Guarantee for so many years and they were finally recognized by Politico this year as one of the Politico 50 so one of the 50 people who are most having an impact on the political discourse so that was a pretty big deal in terms of getting that kind of on the National Stage but more recently Kevin Hassett who is the current Presdent of the Council of Economic Advisers made comments that what he believes that we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM "...You either don't understand what these things are or you do understand and you rather I don't..." Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And if you mention economists that support Yang's UBI unless they are a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI it wouldn't be supporting Yang's. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions....Around 14:15 into the video "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get."

Does not take a genius to know why! Listen to youtube channel "Real Progress In Action" video "Democratic Division Bell: Bernie vs The Rest of the Pack" and then WAKE THE HECK UP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ6aASm0gRk Knowing the intent of UBI if Charles Murray's, a conservative, if his version of UBI passed that would be a lot MORE HARMFUL than helpful and there would be that risk just like Obama ended up getting a Republican healthcare plan.

  655. WARREN the I won't take dark money in the primary but will the general might as well take it in the primary because to me there is no difference! Either way they will be beholding to those corp donors. So many reasons why I don't trust her and you need to think twice if you think she would win the general. Warren was totally silent while peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock and that was when she still thought she was Native American. What about the crimes against those peaceful Native Americans? She wouldn't even fight for what she thought was her people or care about the crimes against them but you think she so will do something about the crimes against the immigrants she mentioned or for any of the rest of us. She is all over the place on Medicare for all so that would be the best place for Warren to compromise to make her corp donors happy. On Healthcare, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris Think You’re Stupid https://benjaminstudebaker.com/2019/07/09/on-healthcare-elizabeth-warren-and-kamala-harris-think-youre-stupid/?fbclid=IwAR3W0kpjv4Nld_XI2IzuzYJpeFJlZkHKBUNvMFyBc9YKQ-LRynwye13e9pI Warren’s votes to approve 68 percent of military spending bills reveal a lack of conviction on tackling the very obstacle she acknowledges" https://portside.org/2019-04-04/heres-how-2020-candidates-stack-war-and-peace she has voted to approve over two-thirds of the “bloated” military spending bills that have come before her in the Senate." Elizabeth Warren Gets Endorsement From Wall Street — The Political Vigilante https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEPn9c7Edls Ms. Warren left Dow Chemical off her 2012 list of clients. After Mr. Jacobson’s blog revealed her representation, she spun her work for the industrial giant as instrumental in setting up a $2.3 billion trust to pay women who said they were injured by the implants. That explanation, though, doesn’t jibe with her duty as an attorney for Dow, where she was bound to represent the company’s interests. “The notion that Warren was representing anyone other than her client is preposterous,” Mr. Jacobson said. “As an attorney, she had a duty of loyalty to Dow Chemical. If she explored possible ways in which Dow Chemical could extricate itself through settlement, her services were on behalf of and for the benefit of Dow Chemical, not the women.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/28/elizabeth-warren-corporate-lawyer-past-looms-over-/ Her statement on Assange: "Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement." End of quote. Assange didn't harm national security. She can't condemn the Justice dept in one sentence for curtailing freedom and in the next condemn someone that was exercising their press freedom.

  693. I can tell you I would not vote for Biden in the primary or the general! But I am a Independent that votes my conscience not someone else's! He voted more as a Republican than anything else. Actually not much difference in how he voted most of the time than Republicans. Biden He voted for the Iraq war. He wrote and voted for the 1994 Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act. He wrote and voted for the Patriot Act. He voted to deregulate the big banks numerous times, including the repeal of Glass-Steagall. He voted for NAFTA and supported the TPP. He proposed means-test cuts to Medicare and Social Security in 2018. He doesn't support Medicare For All. Of course Joe might do a few flip flops to get votes but flips won't get my vote. Just a voting record that is what I agree with! Biden's ain't it!! Joe Biden Lies About Medicare-For-All. Disagrees With Obama. Obama "Democrats are running on good new ideas like Medicare for all..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5wV2dODR_M CNN IMMEDIATELY Pivots to Different Topic When Guest Tells Truth About Joe Biden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPpQGiBNSK8 To hear the full story on Biden's comments on segregation! Biden Launches 2020 Run With Lobbyist Cash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCqNwv2W2w We here all remember how Obama escalated the wars, bombed more nations, made terror worse, lied and took corporate money and refused to pardon Snowden. "Former Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Partner Bruce Heyman raised more than $100,000 for Amy Klobuchar at his home in Chicago. He's planning a event for Joe Biden this fall."

  739. Anyone that knows Bernie knows he's NEVER been one to go on personal attacks against those that he runs against in the primaries so if someone (and this is a general statement not meant personally to you) doesn't like how Bernie goes after the establishment not other candidates or politicians personally then they should run for the presidency their self if they think they can do better!! Bernie has always wanted to win on his own policies and whether someone likes that or not it's just the way he is. He doesn't change when he is running for being president. He has always fought for people to get the policies they need and on the voting floor in the House and then the Senate for the issues he fights for people to have! That's how he has always attacked like it or not. Also. there is this.... "The campaign was in between a rock and a hard place because they had some pretty solid data that any time they go after Joe Biden hard they actually do worse..." Kyle Kulinski So instead of putting it all on Bernie, voters have to take some responsibility, too, if they are voting on policies or because someone that will go on the attack but isn't for the policies they want. I also put blame on the youth that are for his policies but didn't show up to vote. Lots of blame to go around not just on Bernie. AOC has talked about the pressures on them in the House which is the same in the Senate. I wonder is she will be able to take those pressures for the same amount of years as Bernie has? I think Bernie's supporters that are critical of him need to face those same pressures every day for decades and see where they are in their political careers! And keep in mind, too, anything Bernie does is consider dividing the party or lying so I just don't think people realize what he's really been up against for decades. Not sure why he would even keep fighting for Medicare for all, ending the wars, raising the min wage when there isn't enough people fighting for that, too! Bernie DOES attack on the voting floor, on the policies he has fought for/against for decades!! That's how he fights and has fought for decades. AND in movements for or against the policies we need or don't need. That's how he started a movement to stop Social Security cuts when Obama and Biden proposed them. That's how he fought to try to stop the Iraq war! That's how he fought against the bad trade deals. Some of you don't know how Bernie fights but he does fight. You are just too blind or don't care that he does! I think some people rather have him like Trump personal attacks relentlessly but then go back on what they campaigned on. Bernie is strong against the issues that the establishment doesn't want not a bunch of personal attacks! You think Bernie supporters can make others vote for him or any other candidate? All we can do is try to make others aware which many have done. Bernie has fought! Too bad you care more about personal attacks then all of the times Bernie stood on the voting floor fighting against the Iraq War, fighting against the Patriot Act, fighting against bad trade deals, fighting against discrimination policies, fighting for healthcare, higher wages, etc. Even BEFORE it was politically popular to fight for some of those individual rights risking his own political career. We need someone like Trump, right, personal attacks but then goes back on what he campaigns on! Bernie's fight has been real, consistent, and for the people. Not good enough for you run for the presidency!

Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them?

I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. And in case some of you don't know when most of a post is in lowercase letters, it's not shouting to have a some words in caps when it's stressing a point There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote!

"The blood of Jamal Khashoggi and the innocent people of Yemen is on the president's hands," Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) tweeted after Trump vetoed the bipartisan measures, which passed last month after the president attempted to skirt Congress and unilaterally authorize over $8 billion in arms sales to the repressive Gulf nations. The congressional resolutions were not approved by a veto-proof majority, meaning any effort to override Trump's veto would likely fail. As The Guardian reported, the "arms package included thousands of precision-guided munitions, other bombs and ammunition, and aircraft maintenance support" for the Saudis and UAE. In his veto message, Trump cited unspecified "threats" from Iran as a justification for approving the weapons sales to Saudi Arabia without congressional approval. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/07/25/blood-jamal-khashoggi-and-innocent-people-yemen-his-hands-trump-vetoes-effort-block https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/17/donald-trump-yemen-veto-war-saudi-arabia-scandalous-abuse https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-goes-around-congress-to-sell-bombs-to-saudi-arabia-2019-5?r=US&IR=T

Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And please don't tell me economists support Yang's UBI unless you can give me a direct link to a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Why a Job Guarantee is Superior to UBI in Every Conceivable Way https://steemit.com/job/@smithwillsuffice/why-a-job-guarantee-is-superior-to-ubi-in-every-conceivable-way Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions....Around 14:15 into the video "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get." UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY

  797.  @cookingclassics  As for Bernie's record... Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular! He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it. He spoke out against the peaceful Natives being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi. He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board. His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage.

  819. @Arid I did NOT see any smears (not saying there wasn't any) against Tulsi from Bernie supporters until AFTER it was in Nikko's and Jimmy's comments smearing Bernie and not just on policies! After that I did see Bernie supporters pointing to the parts of Tulsi's record that is not perfect, policy conversations but not unfounded smears. So Bernie takes Corp donations now? Is no longer against Fracking? Is now supporting TPP? Against increasing Min wage? Wants to cut Social Security? Has thrown in the towel on Medicare for all?? Which ISSUE did Bernie sell out on? Last I heard he was fighting for the same ISSUES he always has. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not because of who he supported in the last general. There was nothing Bernie could do with the results of the last primary with the super delegates stacked against him from the beginning! Bernie could not fight any longer when those super delegates were not going to change their minds! If Bernie had not kept his word on supporting the nominee his political career could had ended and as for me, I rather see him be able to continue to fight for the same issues he always has and he has done. Tulsi defended Biden when he didn't deserve defending and she is sure running in that Dem party she bashes! Do you want me to point out how her RECORD is not perfect? I'm not talking about before she evolved on certain issues, either. No smears just her record! By the way I already know parts of Bernie's record that's not perfect but he's more perfect than any of the others running on certain issues and it's those issues I am voting for him for!

  824. Bottom line Bernie does not promote violence. Trump does! Project Veritas: how fake news prize went to rightwing group beloved by Trump https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/29/project-veritas-how-fake-news-prize-went-to-rightwing-group-beloved-by-trump Veritas they stage interviews, they've been sued for it. The group is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups. The group has been accused of routinely doctoring its videos, and was caught trying to feed a false story about Roy Moore, then a U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, to the Washington Post. Republican-Nazi's marched in VA chanting against Jews which Trump fully embraced. Bernie's a Jew and has nothing to do with communism! Trump promotes violence straight out of his mouth even said he could shoot someone and get away with it. Bernie has never said crap like that. Bernie's supporters know it's Trump who supports the real violence including the killing of thousands of innocent people that Trump is responsible for by his veto of the stop the war in Yemen act. You don't care about who wants to do real violence if you support Trump. Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act. Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't! Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November. After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-course-223436 Trump's 30 Biggest Broken Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD_xyAjC-E Kellyanne Conway's IDIOTIC Statement on Dayton Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwya0sdXDxc Trump makes jokes about someone who suggests we shoot immigrants. You can NOT call it fake news when it shows Trump actually saying it!! 5:27 into the video 5:48 into the video Trump promotes violence And for sure you can argue with other Republicans and Evangelicals on Trump's crimes!

  829. Anyone that knows Bernie knows he's NEVER been one to go on personal attacks so if someone (and this is a general statement not meant personally to any one person) doesn't like how Bernie goes after the establishment not other candidates or politicians personally then they should run for the presidency their self if they think they can do better!! Bernie has always wanted to win on his own policies and whether someone likes that or not it's just the way he is. He doesn't change when he is running for being president. He has always fought for people to get the policies they need and on the voting floor in the House and then the Senate for the issues he fights for people to have! That's how he has always attacked like it or not. Also. there is this.... "The campaign was in between a rock and a hard place because they had some pretty solid data that any time they go after Joe Biden hard they actually do worse..." Kyle Kulinski So instead of putting it all on Bernie, voters have to take some responsibility, too, if they are voting on policies or because someone that will go on the attack but isn't for the policies they want. I also put blame on the youth that are for his policies but didn't show up to vote. Lots of blame to go around not just on Bernie. And keep in mind, too, anything Bernie does is consider dividing the party or lying so I just don't think people realize what he's really been up against for decades. Not sure why he would even keep fighting for Medicare for all, ending the wars, raising the min wage when there isn't enough people fighting for that, too!

  861.  @markuc  I did say it's great Yang has given jobs so don't misquote me LOL and didn't say you misquoted me but just saying what I said is that is not a resume to be president in all the different areas it takes. Please don't mention him being a lawyer as that just shows he knows how to talk lol When you talk about his intelligence are you saying Jared Bernstein, Hillary (I'm no supporter of hers), Richard Wolff, and others against his policies OR that didn't think they would work are not intelligent? As for my essays LOL telling someone to go read Yang's books at his website but have a hard time reading a few or a lot of paragraphs? LOL but yes mine are long and have reduced them several times taking other other important info why I am not for Yang to keep it from being even longer. As for Yang's fear mongering on automation which is here but not like Yang says it is and after you have watched the video and read all the links I've posted in this and previous comments I would be happy to continue the discussion! And there as a lot more I mentioned that Yang hasn't done before running for president than just standing with workers on picket lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai "The idea that the robots are coming and taking away all of the jobs is laughable who works in manufacturing at the moment anyway most of those robots are taking those jobs what they've alreay taken they've gone already for the most part and of course people are doing different jobs and even if a robot could look after me if I'm still here when I'm 90 years old I don't want a robot looking after me when I'm 90 years old I want a human being to interact with me and with all of the jobs will always be there." Dr. Steven Hail end of quote "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too!

Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

  913. I won't vote for Warren! Not in the general, either. I'm not interested in fear mongering, either, on what that means if I don't vote blue no matter who. I look at it like this if voters don't vote for the best then they can deal with the worse. Bernie2020 the only candidate with the record and consistency that shows they won't go back on the issues they are running on! Don't expect Warren to fight for the actual progressive polices we need. Do expect her to give concessions especially since she said she would take corp donations in the general and turns out she is using dark money now, too, since we have learned she transferred what was left of her Senate run to use now in the primary. Warren was totally silent AT THE TIME peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock! And that was when Warren still thought she was Native American but she didn't even speak out against the horrific brutalization of what she thought was her own people! Bernie spoke out against it, visited their communities and reservations as well as participated in protests in their behalf. If Warren gets president and more pipelines are allowed to go through their lands or anyone else's lands don't act surprised. She is all over the place on Medicare for all so that would be the best place for Warren to compromise to make her corp donors happy. How many picket lines has she been on?

Elizabeth Warren Gets Endorsement From Wall Street — The Political Vigilante https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEPn9c7Edls Ms. Warren left Dow Chemical off her 2012 list of clients. After Mr. Jacobson’s blog revealed her representation, she spun her work for the industrial giant as instrumental in setting up a $2.3 billion trust to pay women who said they were injured by the implants. That explanation, though, doesn’t jibe with her duty as an attorney for Dow, where she was bound to represent the company’s interests. “The notion that Warren was representing anyone other than her client is preposterous,” Mr. Jacobson said. “As an attorney, she had a duty of loyalty to Dow Chemical. If she explored possible ways in which Dow Chemical could extricate itself through settlement, her services were on behalf of and for the benefit of Dow Chemical, not the women.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/28/elizabeth-warren-corporate-lawyer-past-looms-over-/ Her statement on Assange: "Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement."

It's people like Mosab who is the son of a Hamas founding leader, Avi Yemini, Ayn Rand Institute, Brigitte Gabriel who is an author, a national security expert, founder of Act For America, and others that I listen to now after having listened to the pro Palestine side. I think it's disgusting for anyone to celebrate the loss of civilians on any side but I absolutely agree to Israel defending themselves. Reading the Hamas Charter reveals their real intentions. They should have Brigitte Gabriel on their show. "...when I was growing up in Lebanon, remember Lebanon was the only country to accept the third wave of Palestinian refugees into the country in 1974, '75. And I would hear the conversations on the tables in the restaurant, you know, people talking to each other. "Oh, the bloody Jews. Look what they're doing to the Palestinians." The general teaching, not in my household, obviously, because we are Christians, but the general teaching across the Arabic world is Israel is Satan. This has not changed It actually got worse because in the Palestinian Territories, they teach the children to hate the Jews and this is why you see the barbarism happening. But the barbarism is not new, and it's all not directed at Israel only. You know, this is why people think, "Oh my gosh, Hamas, you know, we need to feel sorry for the poor Palestinians." People need to understand that throughout the Middle East, they have zero tolerance for minorities, and Israel is the bullseye in their eye because they could not kick Israelis out..." "...But when you look at the Palestinians, sometimes they even fake the images of the children who are suffering. They've done that in the past. We have seen them do it. This is not to minimize children's suffering, but we need to understand that the perpetrators of evil continue to perpetrate their evil. And we cannot stand for that..." "...the Palestinians, everywhere they go, they cause a problem. That's the problem. That's why Egypt doesn't want them, you know? I mean, that's why they said "No way." All they have to do is look at what the Palestinians did in Jordan and what the Palestinians did in Lebanon. They destroyed Lebanon. King Hussein of Jordan bulldozed 30,000 of them back in 1974, '75, and kicked them out. His own wife is a Palestinian, and he doesn't wanna take any more Palestinians. They are a problem anywhere they go. And that's why they do not want them..." An author, a national security expert, and founder of Act for America, Brigitte Gabriel. Brigitte knows firsthand truth about the Middle East problems!

  992.  @SCANLZ  I never said automation is not here but it's not here like Yang says! He's doing the same fear mongering that has been for decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai "The idea that the robots are coming and taking away all of the jobs is laughable who works in manufacturing at the moment anyway most of those robots are taking those jobs what they've already taken they've gone already for the most part and of course people are doing different jobs and even if a robot could look after me if I'm still here when I'm 90 years old I don't want a robot looking after me when I'm 90 years old I want a human being to interact with me and with all of the jobs will always be there." Dr. Steven Hail end of quote "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Jared Bernstein quote https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2018-09-07/automation-really-blame-lost-manufacturing-jobs “From an economic perspective . . . there can be no revival of American manufacturing, because there has been no collapse. Because of automation, there are far fewer jobs in factories.” "Yet this view reflects a misreading of the data. As I discuss in a recent paper, although automation is occurring in manufacturing, as it is in other sectors of the economy, the evidence does not support the idea that automation was the main cause of the sudden decline in manufacturing employment after 2000. Although it’s difficult to precisely pin down what was to blame, a large body of research suggests that economists and pundits are wrong to so quickly dismiss trade and to blame machines."

  995.  @MrRKF1  Blah Blah Blah someone doesn't have to be a politician to speak out on issues! How do you think gay rights, civil rights, women's rights were passed? It sure wasn't because of politicians leading the way except for Bernie that was speaking out for the issues before he became a politician! Yang should had ran for local office FIRST, got a record, so people would have something to base on if they trust him or not! Bernie has never ran on UBI! He said he was open to it but that's not the same as actually running on it! Knowing UBI, the versions, the risks, I would not even want Bernie to be for it!! automation is here but not like Yang says it is! Bernie's policies are better and I've got a lot of research to back up my opinion on that as well as UBI would not do everything Yang claims. Bernie's policies would cover a lot of what you mentioned and more! I will add I have never wanted or expect anyone to pay me for taking care of my own kids. This doesn't even scratch the surface of the research I've done! CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI.

  997.  @madskittls  If someone works they should make more money than someone that don't so of course welfare would be reduced if they got a job. I think Krystal has also put out why Yang was disingenuous on M4A? As many Independent channels have and Bernie's Medicare for all is what we need and is worth having a heck of a lot more than UBI is and there's no threat of programs being eliminated or cut with a FJG for people that don't work. Bernie also has a RECORD of protecting Social Security and welfare programs so like I said there's no chance of them being cut or eliminated with him as president from who they benefit now! If someone works now their welfare is reduced. Nothing wrong with people wanting to earn their incomes while a FJG is NOT mandatory and only for those that want those jobs! Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee! "Economist at Duke University William and another economist from the New School Eric Hamilton relentless champions for a Federal Job Guarantee for so many years and they were finally recognized by Politico this year as one of the Politico 50 so one of the 50 people who are most having an impact on the political discourse so that was a pretty big deal in terms of getting that kind of on the National Stage but more recently Kevin Hassett who is the current Presdent of the Council of Economic Advisers made comments that what he believes that we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM "...You either don't understand what these things are or you do understand and you rather I don't..." Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And if you mention economists that support Yang's UBI unless they are a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI it wouldn't be supporting Yang's. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions....Around 14:15 into the video "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get."

  998.  @bluesrockfan36  I'm rambling on about the same thing Richard Wolf, Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics, Jared Bernstein, Mike Gravel, and a lot of others are that know Bernie's policies are better! Deal with it. You don't think someone that is not a politician can speak out at protests or other events? Wow, I can see why you would blindly trust Yang then! How many politicians were at Standing Rock? Point being many protesters speaking out against what was happening were not politicians! Bernie and Tulsi are the only candidates that were speaking out against that and joining in with protests. The movement Bernie started against Obama and Biden's proposed Social Security cuts how many of them were politicians that joined in that movement? Was Bernie a politician when he chained himself to a black person protesting for their rights? When he protested for them to have equal rights for housing? Make excuses for Yang not stacking UBI on top of welfare and for private insurance companies that profit billions off of sick and dying people. Heck, even make excuses for when Yang lies or about the changes he has made. I don't make excuses for any of that! I've worked with people, too, help pay off car payments, gave other gifts, know people that can't even go to their local cancer clinic because of their insurance not being accepted, so save it that I don't know what the poor go through but I also know about dads that drink their incomes while neglecting their families, others that gamble their incomes away instead of spending it on what their kids need so I am not all in for giving free cash money to everyone no strings attached!! Not to mention UBI would do more harm than good to the middle class and poor if Charles Murray's UBI version of UBI was the version passed and you are not an honest person if you say there is no risk of that. We got a Republican healthcare plan with Obamacare the same could happen with UBI get a Republican UBI version. Bernie by his own record for decades we know he won't sign any bills that makes things worse for the middle class and poor. We don't know that about Yang, period.

  999.  @madskittls  I'm not arguing for wealthy people to get UBI, either, in addition to their incomes while not giving it to those on welfare in addition to their welfare assistance so it' not the same with Bernie VS Yang on that. You''re Republican talking points on Bernie's Medicare for all will not work on me! I don't defend people profiting billions off of sick and dying people so save it! I have answered other replies so don't remember if I gave you this or not.... "Former health care exec backs up Bernie: It's our current system that's bankrupting us" Listen to it on The Hill Youtube channel. I understand you are afraid you will lose your job in healthcare. I care about job loss but I care MORE about sick and dying people AND that can't choose their doctors, hospitals, or clinics. It's a pretty good deal what Bernie will give those that lose any jobs as a result of that. As for my comments about Nixon and others is it's disingenuous for Yang and his gang to imply NIxon, MLK, and others would be for his UBI when they are NOT the same version! Yang is making some people think Nixon, MLK, and others would support his UBI which is NOT the case. It's call being honest that if he's going to mention them then he should ALSO mention the differences in their versions. You either agree with Richard Wolff and the others or you don't but as far as the VAT unless Yang has removed it from his website even HE wrote there are problems to be solved with the VAT. You trust him to solve those problems, fine, don't expect everyone else to and for sure I don't.

  1001.  @madskittls  Here's the thing! For months I did listen to a lot of Yang's interviews and even have some of them saved to prove some of the changes he's made but after someone lies enough, changes things enough, is for programs I know I am not for, there is no point in my clicking on anymore links! The last ones Yang supporters gave me (so I have listened to some they gave me, too!) lead me to conservatives that supports Yang and knowing what I do about Charles Murray, a conservative, and his version of UBI I have no doubts whatsoever some Republicans would support Yang for that reason to get a Charles Murray version of UBI and there is that risk whether or not you want to acknowledge that or not! ObamaCare=Republican healthcare plan so there is that same risk with any UBI that would end up being a Republican version of UBI. So between my research and all of the other I named as well as Yang supporters sending me to conservatives LOL I just don't waste my time anymore with it. Getting Yang's version of healthcare don't change the fact if someone dies in a car accident they wouldn't use his healthcare. Point being your arguments against Bernie's Medicare for all bill is not going to work with me. You are wasting your time. BEFORE I ever started researching I knew Yang's changes and his lack of experience as well as no political record to show what if anything he would do that he says! With all of the important votes in the House and Senate we have no idea how Yang would had voted on any of them! THAT IS A FACT! Then when I started researching it just backed up my opinions. It bares repeating! Bernie is the most trusted candidate on the important issues. It doesn't take a genius to know why.
    2
  1002.  @madskittls  In the beginning I was open to UBI but not to Yang's version! After the research I did I knew I was not open to any version of UBI so it's not entirely true I wasn't open to his ideas in the beginning! It was actually a Yang supporter that gave me the link to a debate I listened to and it was after that I knew I was not for UBI no matter who the candidate is even if it was Bernie I would not support UBI. You think Yang changed to become more progressive while I think Yang did what a lot of politicians do, went by whichever way the wind blows, gets on board but then if elected he could very well go back to his original positions or new ones. Obama and Trump said a lot of what voters wanted to hear and both went back on some of what they campaigned on. Research also let me know that I am on the right side of policies when it comes to Bernie's being the best so research did accomplish confirming to me what the best policies are which the candidate I trust the most has. I acknowledged the car accident really was not a good argument but to point out neither was yours because people dying without the money for healthcare or not being allowed to choose their doctors would still happen with Yang's healthcare! While the insurance companies continued to profit billions off of sick and dying people. Bernie's Medicare for all bill is about as detailed as any policy can get whereas Yang's is very vague and really about the only thing that can be seen with his is what he said that he doesn't want to eliminate private insurance and really don't care about what he says his policy will be years from now. It also came across to me as Yang not being sincere in his policies when he said he had talked to Biden and would consider being Biden's VP. If Bernie said he would consider being Biden's VP I wouldn't think he was very sincere in the policies he wants since Biden is not for his same policies. So many reasons to not trust Yang with a lot of reasons to trust Bernie. It's also not so much to me about what Bernie will get passed even though his RECORD tells me he will fight for his policies but also that I don't have to worry about him signing any bills that would hurt the middle class or poor.

  1011.  @cgall4444  What the heck are you talking about? Can't be Bernie! His record proves he's not a commie or a wimp! Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular! He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it. He spoke out against the peaceful Natives being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi. He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board that he helped prevent from passing. His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage. He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have That looks like a lot of accomplishments and consistency to me! Feel free to point out any of the policies or in his voting record to show he's a whim or a commie but no doubt you think Canada is a communist country LOL since they have policies Bernie wants here!

  1052. Why is it every time another supporter disagrees based on policies and record it's called hate? When I left the Republican party last primary it was AFTER I researched records knowing the differences on who supported in both parties Social Security cuts, NAFTA, TPP, The Patriot Act, who was taking corp donations, who wasn't, etc. To listen to it being called hate to call out policy/record disagreements I might as well stayed in the Republican party! I won't vote for any candidate that takes corp donations regardless if it's Warren, Biden, Harris, Trump, or anyone else! And then after that I look at the record of each to see which aligns closer to me on the policies I agree with and their consistency to let me know they won't go back on what they are campaigning on like so many do. And that is what I have found with most if not all other Bernie supporters they care about policies/record. Of course there is always going to be hate among some of ALL of the candidate's supporters but you can tell when it's hate and when it's policies and to know the difference. By the way when I left the Republican party I became a Independent not a Dem since cross over voting is allowed in my state. I don't vote out of fear, either, so don't expect me to vote blue no matter who. If Bernie don't win I will vote third party. Now, talk about hate, it's when someone makes a comment about voting third party a lot of times that will bring on the hate but I don't care because I will vote my conscience not someone else's. If you don't want Trump then all progressives should unite behind Bernie.

  1072.  @nmarbletoe8210  Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

And with all of the important issues in this country that have been voted on we have no idea how Yang would had voted on any of them and that is a FACT. Yang is trying to buy votes and I'm not the only one that thinks that. And yang has absolutely said he would eliminate social programs but he said he just "wouldn't do it all at once". I don't trust him with social security or anything else! Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that?

Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? Other than giving people jobs which is hardly a good enough resume to be President of the United States what has he done? There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record.

  1131.  @rocco7649  No Trump at all... https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-privately-obsessed-with-bernie-sanders-popularity-and-socialisms-appeal President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November. After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-course-223436 Trump's 30 Biggest Broken Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD_xyAjC-E Kellyanne Conway's IDIOTIC Statement on Dayton Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwya0sdXDxc Trump makes jokes about someone who suggests we shoot immigrants.

I've already posted enough to show Yang is not the best choice but here's some more since that wasn't enough for you.... Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee! "Economist at Duke University William and another economist from the New School Eric Hamilton relentless champions for a Federal Job Guarantee for so many years and they were finally recognized by Politico this year as one of the Politico 50 so one of the 50 people who are most having an impact on the political discourse so that was a pretty big deal in terms of getting that kind of on the National Stage but more recently Kevin Hassett who is the current Presdent of the Council of Economic Advisers made comments that what he believes that we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM "...You either don't understand what these things are or you do understand and you rather I don't..." Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And if you mention economists that support Yang's UBI unless they are a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI it wouldn't be supporting Yang's. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Andrew Yang and Automation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai "The idea that the robots are coming and taking away all of the jobs is laughable who works in manufacturing at the moment anyway most of those robots are taking those jobs what they've already taken they've gone already for the most part and of course people are doing different jobs and even if a robot could look after me if I'm still here when I'm 90 years old I don't want a robot looking after me when I'm 90 years old I want a human being to interact with me and with all of the jobs will always be there." Dr. Steven Hail end of quote "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Jared Bernstein quote https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2018-09-07/automation-really-blame-lost-manufacturing-jobs “From an economic perspective . . . there can be no revival of American manufacturing, because there has been no collapse. Because of automation, there are far fewer jobs in factories.” "Yet this view reflects a misreading of the data. As I discuss in a recent paper, although automation is occurring in manufacturing, as it is in other sectors of the economy, the evidence does not support the idea that automation was the main cause of the sudden decline in manufacturing employment after 2000. Although it’s difficult to precisely pin down what was to blame, a large body of research suggests that economists and pundits are wrong to so quickly dismiss trade and to blame machines."

  1142.  @dray_dnt_hate2177  Once again I can prove what I say while you are trying to lie again.... Around 17:00 min into the video Richard Wolff Interview On TYT on UBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZOF9ZsNWQ Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote Richard Wolff saying the same thing on this interview: Richard Wolff debates FOX's Stuart Varney on Wealth Distribution & Worker Coops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-p5OT89-Uc&t=1s when he was asked at around 5:50 into the video he was asked about UBI. Richard Wolff even relates Yang as in trying to buy votes! Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions.... "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..."

  1144.  @dray_dnt_hate2177  This might not count with you since I'm not totally against it but on his free college tuition and I have even posted this at times in comments I think students should have to maintain at least a C average in order to qualify for it. As for as I know there is no grade requirement with Bernie's free college tuition. I'm all for students having free college tuition as long as they are not in school just for the fun and parties but are actually learning! I had also posted that I didn't think children of wealthy parents should be able to get it but I changed my mind on that when someone mentioned Bernie will have the wealthy pay more in taxes so their children should be allowed to have free college tuition, too, although most if not all would send their children to private colleges. Oh, here's one I disagree with that will probably get me some criticism is free paid leave for parents in the work place I don't think small business should have to pay for their employees to be out of work with pay unless they use sick pay they have coming to them to pay for it. That can be very costly for small businesses. But don't take that as my admitting they shouldn't have to pay a living wage because I absolutely think they should have to do that but get tax breaks and if there is Medicare for all that would help them save the costs of providing Health Insurance so they could use that to pay higher wages. Now, you? What do you disagree with Yang on? You already know what I do LOL

  1151.  @muzzybeat  You said and I quote, "Did he make one tiny single little peep even? Ever?" which while not directly accusing him of not saying anything since you put the question mark there you did try to imply it! All that matters is he did speak out against it. Now you are implying he never repeated the fraud. He talked about it, he called Biden a liar on national TV as well as exposed their corp donors and their records. He has had the guts to do what most every other politician hasn't has the guts to. Bernie lost a primary! If he was a tool his record would be a lot different. Hang on to your implied lies and/or smears and if I didn't say it before as I can't get your comments to show up in the threads with mine to remember if I did but take that BS to someone that doesn't know better because I do! All that matters is what he HAS DONE for people, the protesting he's done in their behalf, the votes he has cast that went against both parties, him exposing what's wrong with both parties, having the guts to speak out against Wall Street and Big Pharma and not take their donations. Along with the fact he can not pass bills by his self! I have watched and know his actions and while I don't agree with him on everything I won't discount what he has done, either, just because he doesn't meet ALL my demands! You should run for office since you think you know everything you think Bernie is doing wrong. If you have the guts to go up against half of what he has for half the time he has!

  1174.  @franklin9400  No that is not a vote against progressive policies except in your MIND!! Or maybe you are just not informed enough to know the differences when there is an actual voting on policies and when there is not. The few progressives we have can't pass bills by their selves duh! Corp Dems and Republicans have the majority on their side. Duh again. The majority of Americans were for the recent bill that passed. Yes, they are also for other progressive policies, too, but they needed the bill to pass then, not held up for what they would not get. All Corp Dems would have to do is get Republicans on their side which they could do to get bills passed with less in them that you want progressives to hold out in unrealistic hopes of getting more. Exactly what I mean is they don't fight the way you want when you want or how you want. But hey, if you really think they should had refused voting for that recent bill since there wasn't more in it then I hope you you refuse those stimulus checks, too!! That would at least make your opinions authentic. I am not mad at Jimmy and really thank him for exposing the divisive hypocrite that he is so I would stop listening to him which many more people are waking up to realize about him. I am not surprised at brainwashed people like you that would defend him for being the divisive hypocrite that he is=different standards for different candidates because cult leaders like Jimmy Dore can always find people to follow them!! Why don't you follow where Jimmy Dore gets his money from, too? LOL

Project Veritas: how fake news prize went to rightwing group beloved by Trump https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/29/project-veritas-how-fake-news-prize-went-to-rightwing-group-beloved-by-trump Veritas they stage interviews, they've been sued for it. The group is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups. The group has been accused of routinely doctoring its videos, and was caught trying to feed a false story about Roy Moore, then a U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, to the Washington Post. Republican-Nazi's marched in VA chanting against Jews which Trump fully embraced. Bernie's a Jew and has nothing to do with communism! Trump promotes violence straight out of his mouth even said he could shoot someone and get away with it. Bernie has never said crap like that. Bernie's supporters know it's Trump who supports the real violence including the killing of thousands of innocent people that Trump is responsible for by his veto of the stop the war in Yemen act. You don't care about who wants to do real violence if you support Trump. Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act. Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't! Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November.

  1217.  @jbc1339  And Trump went back on some of what he campaigned on! Words mean nothing to me. A consistent record including their voting records do on issues I care about and that is what I go by when I vote. Dr. West gives love to all of them LOL but is for Bernie's policies. AOC said she would support Biden if he got the nomination. So people can be against the establishment and still not do personal attacks. Bernie's record clearly shows he is anti establishment!! We have the best healthcare? What data are you looking at? LOL We rank below Canada and Australia and a lot of others but I remember those two without looking. I love setting people straight on the ER... 1. When someone goes to the ER they are still billed! Duh! And a lot of people that won't go to the doctor if they don't have the money will also not go to the ER for the same reason. Hope you don't come in contact with someone with something contagious because they didn't have the money to go to the doctor! 2. The ER does NOT do a lot of medical care such as cancer check ups! I have known people that have gone too long without getting cancer check ups (I am talking about people that had cancer) because they didn't have the money and the ER does not do those necessary cancer check ups! 3. Someone needing surgery will not be admitted through the ER IF they don't have the money or Insurance for it UNLESS their insurance allows for it AND some insurance will not pay for surgery unless it's life or death THEN THE ER will admit them so good luck with having to wait until you are almost dead for them to admit you through the ER for surgery!

  1222. Yang is as disingenuous as they come! On Medicare for all, on who is for UBI making it sound like they would be for Yang's UBI when they were for a totally different version, for his fear mongering on automation! Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it even if I thought his policies were better which I do NOT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtBt2OSL2Mw&feature=youtu.be

  1226.  @garym6338  Tone? What a dumb comment since there is no voice to go with what I type to know what someone's tone is LOL I know this will be too long for you to read. No worries! Just get a bit tired of you yangers acting like people don't know Yang's policies if they are not for Yang. I would have to know his policies to research them LOL CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI. Yang Admits He's Been Lying About Medicare For All https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gUnOGcYXnk Around 3:32 into the video Yang is asked "You're adopting the label but not the bill?" Yang replies, "That's correct" Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee! "Economist at Duke University William and another economist from the New School Eric Hamilton relentless champions for a Federal Job Guarantee for so many years and they were finally recognized by Politico this year as one of the Politico 50 so one of the 50 people who are most having an impact on the political discourse so that was a pretty big deal in terms of getting that kind of on the National Stage but more recently Kevin Hassett who is the current Presdent of the Council of Economic Advisers made comments that what he believes that we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM "...You either don't understand what these things are or you do understand and you rather I don't..." Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And please don't tell me economists support Yang's UBI unless you can give me a direct link to a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Why a Job Guarantee is Superior to UBI in Every Conceivable Way https://steemit.com/job/@smithwillsuffice/why-a-job-guarantee-is-superior-to-ubi-in-every-conceivable-way Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions....Around 14:15 into the video "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get." UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY

  1232. "...Bernie has always been but one guy! Name a candidate who has had a legitimate chance of building a movement getting elected etc. that has taken the bold steps that Bernie Sanders has taken in your lifetime? Reality is Bernie Sanders is the only one. I love Ajamu Baraka but he hasn't moved the needle in this regard. There is no one that has come close to Bernie Sanders not a soul not a single soul..." "...We all want to hold our politicians accountable right makes sense but look at all the wars Bernie Sanders has taken on for us. Look at all of the things nobody has ever I mean Obama caved in before he even had a chance to get started when it came to things like I don't know Medicare for all. What did Bernie Sanders do? He has just non stop beat this down that it should be a right. Obama went out there and sold us insurance reform. It didn't do anything but fatten the insurance companies. It certainly didn't help anybody or very few people lets be fair. Most people that have health insurance today can't afford to use it..." "...So I want you to understand I really want you to understand really really want you to understand if you don't see Bernie Sanders take on everything you ever thought he should take on that's okay you know there is non profits like Real Progressives is a non profit It's a 501C3 where Real Progress in Action is a non profit but it's a 501C4. We can sit there we can say the things Bernie Sanders can't while he's trying to curry favor with the establishment. He's trying to win an election amongst people who f***ing hate him, okay? The guy is hated by the Dem establishment so that means that WE not me US comes into play, right? If there are groups out there that can fight for election integrity they should be doing it. They shouldn't be kicking the legs out from under Sanders they should be doing the hard work for him because he's got think about this he's advancing a Green New Deal, he's advancing Medicare for all, he's advancing a FJG, he's advancing child care as a right, he is advancing infrastructure, he's advancing expanding Social Security, he has elevated Stephanie Kelton the MMT economist that has made all of the stuff possible. He has done more for us in his one little pinky than most of us will ever do in our entire lifetime..." "...Our alternative Media has a responsibility this is the not me us movement and it's not just to take the cool edgy way for those people that don't like Sanders and kick his legs out from under him while he's advancing these ideas. You've got to understand how hard it is and I think we all see it by the way I don't think this is rocket science. I think we all see that trying to get centrist Democrats that have been tormented and tortured their own way with the red scare McCarthyism all the other stuff that the Boomer generation went through with duck and cover, you know all the fear of Vietnam they've carried the scars of the red scare their entire lives they've been tainted by fears of the word socialism so to their credit they're scared they've been lied to. It's out job outside the election season and during the election season to explain these things to them so when it comes time for the election season that they are in fact listening but what you've got is this tilted you know like those Ira glasses okay where the upper age groups voted for Biden or supported Biden and then you've got everyone down below the entirety of the whole country supported Bernie so you know things are changing but we've still have plenty of time in my opinion right here right now if we don't squander it chasing ghosts if the not me us movement decides that we are going to advance these causes regardless regardless of the bull sh*t the establishment is pulling because of the very very unique nature of a pandemic because of the very very unique nature of what is about to come with the greatest depression of all folks I can't even tell you as a guy that understands economics I am watching this Tsunami come across and you guys have your back to it. Some of you guys think you might see it I am telling you most of you don't see it you don't even know what's coming because you've paid attention to other people talking about Bernie Sanders didn't say something or he called Joe Biden his friend and that got you distracted from watching the Tsunami come through. Sorry about that is just low hanging fruit that some of these alt media people will bang on to get likes and clicks but the Tsunami coming through is very real and it's going to harm your children it's going to harm you it's going to harm your friends and your neighbors. It's going to harm everyone in this country, black, white, gay, straight. There's going to be some rich people that survive it without any kind of real issue. There's going to be an incredible amount of pain coming and we can't sit there and worry about whether Bernie tried to curry favor by not pissing off all of the boomers that love Biden and have memories of Obama being a god and people that lived and died for the Clinton's. He's got to some how or another win just enough of their vote over to be able to make a difference because he's hoping that the people don't go ahead and start sh*t talking him moving off into some bizarro Tulsi land okay and that they stay firmly rooted in the movement so that he can go out there and curry those people that otherwise wouldn't give a progressive the time of day because they are still living in the McCarthyism era. That red scare is very real..." "...Go strolling through a Wal-Mart sometime and ask them what they think about the word Socialism? And watch them, their veins will come out of their head, well, I don't like Socialism f*** that Socialism thing. They don't even know what it means but they know they hate it. That's how powerful the propaganda has been. So Bernie had to HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE COULD COUNT ON THE FAITHFUL TO NOT DEPART AND GO CHASE AFTER lesser stags or stagettes and that they would stay firmly in his camp and not sh*t talk him while he tried to work the back doors to get past these bozos in the establishment. It's a tough gig man I wouldn't want to do it I won't do it so it's kinda hard for me to poke holes in it but I can tell you I see the errors, not the errors he did, but the errors we did..."

  1276.  MidScream1  So Bernie takes Corp donations now? Is no longer against Fracking? Is now supporting TPP? Against increasing Min wage? Wants to cut Social Security? Has thrown in the towel on Medicare for all?? Which ISSUE did Bernie sell out on? Last I heard he was fighting for the same ISSUES he always has. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not because of who he supported in the last general. There was nothing Bernie could do with the results of the last primary with the super delegates stacked against him from the beginning! Bernie could not fight any longer when those super delegates were not going to change their minds! If Bernie had not kept his word on supporting the nominee his political career could had ended and as for me, I rather see him be able to continue to fight for the same issues he always has and he has done that than for what could had turned out ending his politically career where he would not had been able to keep fighting for the same issues he always has. After he lost the primary no one wanted him to run for President as an Independent more than I did but there was a huge risk for him to do that because clearly there is not enough people that vote's third party. It can be debated that he would had won but there is no way to know that for sure. If you haven't been listening to what the majority of Dems want, I have and that is anyone but Trump! I have even heard some at his Town Halls people say they expect Bernie to support the nominee if he loses the primary.And the actress that said she was progressive but trying to tell everyone they should vote for Biden LOL Just too many people thought Hillary was the lesser of two evils. Even if some people feel like Trump is worse than Hillary and for sure others agree with that but there is also a lot of people that agree with Trump being worse so I didn't expect Bernie to do a Nader and I respected his decision that Trump was/is worse. I will vote for him again because of those same issues he is still for, not because of who he endorsed in the last primary. I sure was not, is not, a Hillary supporter! One of the main issues I am for is Medicare for all and I think Bernie is the only one that would fight for it since he has always been for it so I would be cutting off my nose to spite my face and shooting myself in the foot if I didn't vote for him just because I think he should had done something differently after he lost the last primary. He got bashed for not supporting Hillary more and then bashed for supporting her at all. He just couldn't win no matter what on that.

  1302.  @HeyHEY-fg9rp  If Charles Murray's version of UBI ended up being the version passed and there is that risk the it most definitely would hurt the middle class and poor! CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI.

  1311. Sky Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

But Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. If you don't think that is Yang saying he will eliminate the social programs, fine, but I think that is exactly what he is saying his goal is! I'm not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out of housing assistance, food stamps, transportation, and other cash like programs for $1,000 a month. Some probably will but it's pure speculation for Yang to say how many will opt out/opt in that he says will help fund the costs of UBI. I do not believe the House and Senate will pass BOTH UBI and Medicare for all while keeping all of the existing social programs! I don't even believe they would pass just UBI without eliminating existing social programs! Eliminating existing social programs would hurt the poor more than UBI would help them! Around 17:00 min into the video Richard Wolff Interview On TYT on UBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZOF9ZsNWQ Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..."

Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! I'm no Hillary supporter but how about what she said on UBI........ Hillary Clinton seriously considered running her 2016 campaign for president on a platform built with UBI. But she couldn’t figure out a reasonable way to pay for it. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the numbers work,” Clinton wrote in her campaign memoir, “What Happened.” “To provide a meaningful dividend each year to every citizen, you’d have to raise enormous sums of money, and that would either mean a lot of new taxes or cannibalizing other important programs.

  1352.  @utah_koidragon7117  Bernie showed how it would be paid under his proposed Medicare for all. I didn't deny it isn't perfect but I did say given the choice between that and what we have now I would take Medicare for all any day! There can't be a perfect system as there would be some kind of problem in any of them but from the research I did and I did do a lot on Medicare for All or at least Bernie's version of it would be a lot better than what we have now! You seem to be denying all of the things I said that would show it to be better than what we have now (You mentioned pros and cons but that's not showing Medicare for all wouldn't be better than we have now!) and it is a FACT we are further down on healthcare than Canada and Australia as well as other countries as what is our rank? "Despite having the most expensive health care system, the United States ranks last overall compared with six other industrialized countries—Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom—on measures of quality, efficiency, access to care, equity, and the ability to lead long, healthy, and productive lives, according to a new Commonwealth Fund report. While there is room for improvement in every country, the U.S. stands out for not getting good value for its health care dollars: it spent $7,290 per capita on health care in 2007 but ranks last among seven countries. The Netherlands, which spent $3,837 per capita on health care that year, ranks first." Another one at....... worldpopulationreview country-rankings/best-healthcare-in-the-world And there are many more that shows our healthcare system below other countries including being below Canada and Australia! You have said a lot about what we shouldn't have while saying nothing on what you think we should have? That would include STOPPING insurance companies from making billions off of sick and denying people AND that would guarantee everyone could get medical care when needed regardless of having the money to pay for it. So what is your answer to all of that?

  1353.  @utah_koidragon7117  Bernie did say how he would pay for Medicare for All! I KNOW ABSOLUTELY KNOW many doctors will not treat patients unless they have the money upfront, period! Even people with insurance some if not many will demand the co pays etc. upfront! There are some doctors that will even make patients before they ever see them sign statements that in effect read if they don't have all their money by the time they demand it then all court and attorneys fees, balances due, etc. has to be paid by the patient if they are taken to court. Telling people to be healthy is not a solution to everyone that needs healthcare! I almost died at 8 years old from something I was born with. Would you tell a 8 year old kid to get healthy? LOL That does nothing to actually solve the problem although if more people would have healthier lifestyles, eat healthier, that can play a hand it in but that is not a solution. Diet and health is not a one size fits all, either! Just one example some people smoke all their lives and live to be 100. Some people never smoke and die young. Major health treatments? Those are exactly among what the whistleblower that use to work with the insurance companies talked about the dirty tricks they do to keep from paying for those as well as other treatments! Removing preventative care? SMH Just as I thought you really don't have a real solution to people dying that can't afford medical care or about the insurance companies that make billions off of sick and dying people. Medicare for all would solve a lot of that! I didn't say all but it solves more than what we have now and certainly more than what you would suggest. OK, I think we have made both of our points clear. I have things to do now so if I don't get back to read anymore of your replies that's why.

  1354.  @utah_koidragon7117  Don't try to take my words out of context! I never said I thought it was ok for anyone to die because they are on a waiting list. Seems like you are reaching way too far to try to make your comments seem more legit. Yes, Bernie said how his M4A would be paid for through taxes that are less for lower income and more for higher income. He had it laid out exactly who would pay and how much. If you think reducing how many people will need healthcare is the solution for everyone that needs it will get it and no more insurance companies making billions off of sick and dying people then you would be the one ending up getting disappointed! That would help the problem but in no way solve it. The comment you made, "'Id also remove routine, preventive, and minor healthcare treatment from insurance, which would remain only for major and expensive medical treatment." Would open a BIG CAN OF WORMS for doctors to have to put an interpretation on what is minor, what is major, when it comes to them giving treatment, something that is minor can becomes major if it's not treated when it was minor. which medical conditions are minor that doctors would disagree on, what is major and what is not that can be left untreated because a doctor THINKS it's not major but then becomes major. Thank God I have never heard anyone else think a doctor can always be right on what they think is minor and what is major. Treat the problem when it's minor to keep it from becoming major is the only compassionate and correct way to think about that. What if it was a major problem to begin with but the doctor didn't see it thinking it was minor (that has happened) then it becomes major and the person dies? What is not expensive to you might be expensive to someone else. I don't want any doctor having to be put under that kind of pressure to determine all of that. Treat people that are sick and need care, period. Many doctors are for M4A but you would argue they are wrong, too. I feel sad for anyone that dies for any reason! But there is more people dying because they don't have the money whether it's co pays or they have no Insurance that shouldn't happen! I feel sure it happens to more people because they can't afford insurance and/or co pays than it happens because of someone having Medicare. It should not happen to anyone! Okay, I knew I shouldn't had come back to read anymore of your comments since I have other things to do as we are not going to agree on this that is for sure!

Andrew Yang and Automation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment Dave Rubin Accidentally EXPOSES Yang's UBI As Libertarian Trojan Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2VWliq7Jg&t=3s https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai I'm not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out of housing assistance, food stamps, transportation, and other cash like programs for $1,000 a month. Some probably will but it's pure speculation for Yang to say how many will opt out/opt in that he says will help fund the costs of UBI. https://benjaminstudebaker.com/2019/03/20/andrew-yangs-basic-income-is-stealth-welfare-reform/ I do not believe the House and Senate will pass BOTH UBI and Medicare for all while keeping all of the existing social programs! I don't even believe they would pass just UBI without eliminating existing social programs! Eliminating existing social programs would hurt the poor more than UBI would help them! Around 17:00 min into the video Richard Wolff Interview On TYT on UBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZOF9ZsNWQ Does Richard Wofl think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” ― Benjamin Franklin What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "Is likely to hurt more than it helps" "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get.""I don't see writing checks for everybody as a part of the American tradition. The American tradition is if you are able bodied you should work..." "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! I'm no Hillary supporter but how about what she said on UBI........ Hillary Clinton seriously considered running her 2016 campaign for president on a platform built with UBI. But she couldn’t figure out a reasonable way to pay for it. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the numbers work,” Clinton wrote in her campaign memoir, “What Happened.” “To provide a meaningful dividend each year to every citizen, you’d have to raise enormous sums of money, and that would either mean a lot of new taxes or cannibalizing other important programs. We decided it was exciting but not realistic....” End of quote and I especially noted what sh said about new taxes OR cannibalizing other IMPORTANT programs! Does Andrew Yang Want The Most Regressive Tax In The World? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyjK1wIvRVQ https://www.moneycrashers.com/whats-is-your-opinion-about-a-value-added-tax/ And another problem in the videos I've seen Yang fails to properly answer the question of housing costs inflating. He suggest because “vendors” and “firms” will not collude to raise prices. Landlords and Homeowners are not vendors and firms. GOV. CONTROL OVER JOURNALISTS? On his CNN Town Hall Yang was basically saying he wants the gov. to decide what is misinformation that Journalists puts out. I'm definitely against that!

  1377.  @patriciaferschke3661  free money with no strings attached does have its advantages but anyone that cares about the policies that are better and someone with a consistent record on fighting for them their vote won't be bought by someone coming out of nowhere with no proof he will do anything he says on the most important issues facing this country! Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. And in case some of you don't know when most of a post is in lowercase letters, it's not shouting to have a some words in caps when it's stressing a point There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it even if I thought his policies were better which I do NOT!

  1378. Project Veritas is an American Right-wing activist group. The group is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups. In a 2018 book on propaganda and disinformation in U.S. politics, three Harvard University scholars refer to Project Veritas as a "right-wing disinformation outfit" In other words a SCAM! "James O’Keefe, the Project Veritas founder who was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2010 for using a fake identity to enter a federal building during a previous sting,..." https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/a-woman-approached-the-post-with-dramatic--and-false--tale-about-roy-moore-sje-appears-to-be-part-of-undercover-sting-operation/2017/11/27/0c2e335a-cfb6-11e7-9d3a-bcbe2af58c3a_story.html That's the kind of trash you are wanting to promote! Republican-Nazi's marched in VA chanting against Jews which Trump fully embraced. Bernie's a Jew and has nothing to do with communism! Trump supporters have also threatened violence if Trump is found guilty in the impeachment trial. Neo-Nazis thriving in the US one year on from Charlottesville | ITV News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Urp4Kn0XMQNeo Nazi's chanted: "Jews will not replace us." Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act. Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't! Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November. After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-course-223436 Trump's 30 Biggest Broken Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD_xyAjC-E Kellyanne Conway's IDIOTIC Statement on Dayton Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwya0sdXDxc Trump makes jokes about someone who suggests we shoot immigrants.

Warren Misleads Voters On Bernie & Superdelegates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZmPcRTUdo Her lies alone would keep me from voting for her! 2. Warren was silent while peaceful Native Americans were being brutalized at Standing Rock. She didn't fight for them so I don't trust her to fight for anyone else. 3. Her record with Dow Chemical. 4. She didn't support the only progressive in the last primary. 5. She transferred dark money from her Senate run to the primary while pretending to not use dark money. NO! It was not dark money Bernie transfered! 6. She said she would raise dark money in the general for the DNC. 7. She lied when she said Bernie said a woman can't be president. What's the evidence Bernie said that? There is NONE! What's the evidence Bernie didn't say it? When he tried to get Warren to run for president last time INSTEAD OF HIM is all the evidence I need to know she's lying! But there are also videos of him saying a woman can win the presidency. 8. And lets not forget Warren has told other lies! Including the lie she said she wouldn't have a super pac but now....... "Elizabeth Warren is a Super PAC Hypocrite" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMiLpatZDkk But what's one more lie, right? She was already taking donations from Billionaires! 8. She's been wishy washy on Medicare for all. 9. Warren flipped on supporting the popular vote to super delegates stealing the nomination. 10. She's just a player in the game by her own words. She's not just a player in the game but a fake progressive in the game! 11. TRUMP responds to Super Tuesday, blasts Elizabeth Warren as 'selfish' spoiler on YT The Hill. 12. Elizabeth Warren's Old Colleague EXPOSES Her As A Republican Reaganite & A Pathological Liar!

Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! Many bills can NOT be passed without Amendments so it's foolish to dismiss them as not being important to think of them as not being accomplishments, TOO!! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights!

  1404.  bigwaverider  You don't mind lying, do you? I am NOT a supporter of Obama so he is not my boy! But of course a liar would deflect away from truth to bring in lies to try to make their points. Just to be clear after I left the Republican party to vote for Bernie I became a Independent that the ONLY Dem candidate I will vote for is Bernie. Deflecting to the stimulus bill, too, I see, where Bernie had something to do with the unemployment benefits that were included or did you miss that part on purpose? I don't hate the wealthy enough to deny workers those benefits that they need. He blasted that part of the bill for corp welfare in case you missed that, too, so just because he was for one part of the bill doesn't mean he was for the other. How many bills has Bernie voted for that was just for corp welfare? Or just for tax cuts for the wealthy? He also voted against the Iraq War so he is not for all of the wars the others are for! Now, as far as your open borders that Bernie said he is NOT FOR... "Bernie Sanders says he does not support open borders" "Sen. Bernie Sanders pushed back Sunday against claims that he supports an open border policy, adding that poverty across the globe would cause an influx of migrants to the border if that system were in place. During a town hall in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Sanders was asked by an attendee about how the United States can afford to fund social services such as health care, with an open borders policy. The attendee also claimed the Vermont senator is "an advocate for open borders." “I’m afraid you may be getting your information wrong. That’s not my view,” Sanders said." https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/08/bernie-sanders-open-borders-1261392 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHPbWWof7aY

And I know there are people dying because they don't have the money for healthcare. I know the Billions Insurance companies make off of sick and dying people. if you don't think spreading the hate Jimmy Dore has/is can hurts someone's chances of winning then you aren't thinking very clearly, either. No, I don't hate Jimmy Dore but I don't like him, either, and FYI I use to love listening to him and hardly missed any of this shows until he exposed himself as the divisive hypocrite he is and more and more people are waking up to that fact, not just me! There is definitely other factors that went into Nina losing but the hate Jimmy Dore spreads is certainly one of them. I don't go by labels! I go by what policies they are for and their voting records. Too many people don't know the difference in communism and Democratic Socialism and considering the many different forms of socialism that sounds like you don't even know the difference, either, as it's not the policies in the countries that you named that progressives are wanting us to be like! Yes, I have thought about it and know the problems in those countries you named are not because of M4A or the other policies progressives here want. Follow the money or I mean the oil in Venezuela to know where a lot of their problems are. That is your opinion progressives that you think are washed up because they can't pass bills by their selves. I just know what a real sell out is and that is when someone like Sinema runs on a certain policy that but then votes NO on it when it comes up for a vote!

  1449.  @nrf91  I was NOT wrong about Jimmy Dore! In case you didn't read all of my comments on that.... Before I stopped listening to Jimmy Dore I heard him go off on Bernie for years with his endless rant on Bernie endorsing Hillary AND for not going Independent. Tulsi told Jimmy Dore several months ago she would not go independent and did he go off on her with hateful rants about it? Heck, NO! That's being a hypocrite holding them to different standards. That is NOT Jimmy Dore being 100 percent correct. Then when Jimmy Dore said he hoped Bernie loses that was all I could stomach of him and stopped listening to him. Don't know how any Bernie supporter that actually wanted Bernie to win could stand listening to him! By the way I didn't go off on Tulsi not going Independent because I had also not went off on Bernie for not going Independent! Holding them both to the same standards and I didn't go off on Bernie for endorsing Hillary because he didn't change on policies and I voted for Bernie for his policies not for who he endorsed in the general. Then when Tulsi dropped out and endorsed Biden I heard that Jimmy had given every excuse in the world on why that was okay and even blamed it on Bernie. NO! Jimmy Dore is not 100 percent correct on that, either, after he bashed Bernie for calling Biden his friend, etc. And here Tulsi was giving lovely comments about Biden! Again different standards for them. I didn't go off on Tulsi for endorsing Biden just like I didn't go off on Bernie for endorsing Hillary. It's holding them both to the SAME standards. I didn't care Jimmy supported Tulsi over Bernie if he has just kept it on policies. I've also heard MANY people repeat Dore's talking points for not voting for Bernie so he has hurt the movement IMO and it is my opinion to have. He is no better than the major news media. So it ends up with both of them Tulsi and Bernie losing. Their supporters are the biggest losers not getting the policies they are for. I am not for Tulsi's policies.

  1452.  Christien du Preez  I am not going to go back through this thread to see what I have said and/or posted but just in case I hadn't already responded in this thread to the smear on Bernie never accomplishing anything I leave you this.... Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! Many bills can NOT be passed without Amendments so it's foolish to dismiss them as not being important to think of them as not being accomplishments, TOO!! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular! He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it. He spoke out against the peaceful Natives Americans being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi. He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board that he helped prevent from passing. His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage. He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have That looks like a lot of accomplishments and consistency to me! https://twitter.com/GunnelsWarren/status/1147713369127956481 Approx 3 minutes into Video Pete says Bernie was "pretty successful in working with people across the Isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHvg32d8l9o

CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI. Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee!

Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And please don't tell me economists support Yang's UBI unless you can give me a direct link to a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense.

"The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever."

  1462.  @Nunyabusiness40  First off, I get a bit tired of Yang supporters comparing others UBI to Yang's when it's either NOT the same version or you don't know it's the same version! And since MLK is not around to ask him but I seriously doubt he would be good now with UBI given to BILLIONAIRES and MILLIONAIRES in ADDITION to their incomes while making some of the poorest people choose between UBI and their current assistance programs! You do NOT know he would favor a VAT, either, so stop speaking for MLK! The only reason I did is because Yang supporters bring up him being for UBI without knowing the details of what version he would be for TODAY while leaving out he ALSO supported a FJG! You are completely wrong to not know there are people that do want to work instead of getting free cash money off the government as in not having to work for it or earn it. Richard Wolff was right when he said something about UBI turning into a fight among those that want to work and those that don't and if you want to work you wouldn't be critical of a FJG for those that WANT those jobs! No one would force you to take one of them. Much the same as Yang and his supporters bringing up Nixon being for UBI when his version had a WORK REQUIREMENT with it and only for couples with children that Yang conveniently leaves out. So disingenuous to imply others would be for Yang's UBI when it's NOT the same version! Yang is fear mongering on automation! It's here, yes, but not like Yang and some of you make like it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai "The idea that the robots are coming and taking away all of the jobs is laughable who works in manufacturing at the moment anyway most of those robots are taking those jobs what they've already taken they've gone already for the most part and of course people are doing different jobs and even if a robot could look after me if I'm still here when I'm 90 years old I don't want a robot looking after me when I'm 90 years old I want a human being to interact with me and with all of the jobs will always be there." Dr. Steven Hail end of quote "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Jared Bernstein quote https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2018-09-07/automation-really-blame-lost-manufacturing-jobs “From an economic perspective . . . there can be no revival of American manufacturing, because there has been no collapse. Because of automation, there are far fewer jobs in factories.” "Yet this view reflects a misreading of the data. As I discuss in a recent paper, although automation is occurring in manufacturing, as it is in other sectors of the economy, the evidence does not support the idea that automation was the main cause of the sudden decline in manufacturing employment after 2000. Although it’s difficult to precisely pin down what was to blame, a large body of research suggests that economists and pundits are wrong to so quickly dismiss trade and to blame machines."

  1469.  @cookingclassics  I will take the opinions of the over 200 economists that are for Bernie's Medicare for all bill and raising the fed min wage over any opinions I've seen from Yang supporters that would have everyone continue to work for slave wages. You are giving Republican talking points on the min wage! Seattle, one of the cities to more recently raise the minimum wage to $15, has seen large increases in employment and income. According to MyNorthwest.com, not only have many of the businesses who opposed the increase seen higher employment numbers, some are even opening additional locations. In 2014, a study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that the 13 states that increased the minimum wage saw employment numbers increase faster than states that did not, an average of 0.85 percent compared to 0.61 percent in the other 37 states. "The study, by researchers from the New School and the New York think tank National Employment Law Project, found no negative employment effects of the city increasing its minimum wage to $15." https://www.businessinsider.com/nyc-restaurant-industry-thriving-after-15-dollar-minimum-wage-2019-8?r=US&IR=T Bernie's Medicare for all will save business owners a lot of money they won't have to spend on providing their workers healthcare! You obviously have a comprehension problem if you couldn't see what all Bernie has done as I named some of it without any links! The links are only to back up what I am saying that he has done. You sure can't show anything Yang has done other than create jobs. I will also take the 144 references that went into this detailed UBI report that is based on facts.

People with private insurance don't have the choice, duh! The insurance companies make the choices of what procedures you get and some of them even choose the doctors. You call that choice? Or when you get out of work with no choice to keep your private insurance?I don't! Wendell Potter worked in the insurance industry said "we knew one of the huge vulnerabilities of the current system was LACK of choice. In the current system, you can’t pick your own doc, specialist, or hospital without huge “out of network” bills. So we set out to muddy the issue of "choice." "So if a politician tells you they oppose reforming the current healthcare system because they want to preserve "choice," either they don't know what they're talking about - or they're willfully ignoring the truth. I assure you, the insurance industry is delighted either way 11/11" https://twitter.com/wendellpotter/status/1206623259698974724 Former healthcare exec Wendell Potter rips and answers CNN's industry talking points https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxDj4TgnQIw And I guess you are among those that don't know what communism is! Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people. You are using Republican talking points that you wouldn't use unless you are a Republican? Or want free cash from the government to the point you would smear Bernie just like they do.

Name a candidate who has had a legitimate chance of building a movement getting elected etc. that has taken the bold steps that Bernie Sanders has taken in your lifetime? Reality is Bernie Sanders is the only one. I love Ajamu Baraka but he hasn't moved the needle in this regard. There is no one that has come close to Bernie Sanders not a soul not a single soul..." "...We all want to hold our politicians accountable right makes sense but look at all the wars Bernie Sanders has taken on for us. Look at all of the things nobody has ever I mean Obama caved in before he even had a chance to get started when it came to things like I don't know Medicare for all. What did Bernie Sanders do? He has just non stop beat this down that it should be a right. Obama went out there and sold us insurance reform. It didn't do anything but fatten the insurance companies. It certainly didn't help anybody or very few people lets be fair. Most people that have health insurance today can't afford to use it..." "...So I want you to understand I really want you to understand really really want you to understand if you don't see Bernie Sanders take on everything you ever thought he should take on that's okay you know there is non profits like Real Progressives is a non profit It's a 501C3 where Real Progress in Action is a non profit but it's a 501C4. We can sit there we can say the things Bernie Sanders can't while he's trying to curry favor with the establishment. He's trying to win an election amongst people who f***ing hate him, okay? The guy is hated by the Dem establishment so that means that WE not me US comes into play, right? If there are groups out there that can fight for election integrity they should be doing it. They shouldn't be kicking the legs out from under Sanders they should be doing the hard work for him because he's got think about this he's advancing a Green New Deal, he's advancing Medicare for all, he's advancing a FJG, he's advancing child care as a right, he is advancing infrastructure, he's advancing expanding Social Security, he has elevated Stephanie Kelton the MMT economist that has made all of the stuff possible. He has done more for us in his one little pinky than most of us will ever do in our entire lifetime..." "...Our alternative Media has a responsibility this is the not me us movement and it's not just to take the cool edgy way for those people that don't like Sanders and kick his legs out from under him while he's advancing these ideas. You've got to understand how hard it is and I think we all see it by the way I don't think this is rocket science. I think we all see that trying to get centrist Democrats that have been tormented and tortured their own way with the red scare McCarthyism all the other stuff that the Boomer generation went through with duck and cover, you know all the fear of Vietnam they've carried the scars of the red scare their entire lives they've been tainted by fears of the word socialism so to their credit they're scared they've been lied to. It's out job outside the election season and during the election season to explain these things to them so when it comes time for the election season that they are in fact listening but what you've got is this tilted you know like those Ira glasses okay where the upper age groups voted for Biden or supported Biden and then you've got everyone down below the entirety of the whole country supported Bernie so you know things are changing but we've still have plenty of time in my opinion right here right now if we don't squander it chasing ghosts if the not me us movement decides that we are going to advance these causes regardless regardless of the bull sh*t the establishment is pulling because of the very very unique nature of a pandemic because of the very very unique nature of what is about to come with the greatest depression of all folks I can't even tell you as a guy that understands economics I am watching this Tsunami come across and you guys have your back to it. Some of you guys think you might see it I am telling you most of you don't see it you don't even know what's coming because you've paid attention to other people talking about Bernie Sanders didn't say something or he called Joe Biden his friend and that got you distracted from watching the Tsunami come through. Sorry about that is just low hanging fruit that some of these alt media people will bang on to get likes and clicks but the Tsunami coming through is very real and it's going to harm your children it's going to harm you it's going to harm your friends and your neighbors. It's going to harm everyone in this country, black, white, gay, straight. There's going to be some rich people that survive it without any kind of real issue. There's going to be an incredible amount of pain coming and we can't sit there and worry about whether Bernie tried to curry favor by not pissing off all of the boomers that love Biden and have memories of Obama being a god and people that lived and died for the Clinton's. He's got to some how or another win just enough of their vote over to be able to make a difference because he's hoping that the people don't go ahead and start sh*t talking him moving off into some bizarro Tulsi land okay and that they stay firmly rooted in the movement so that he can go out there and curry those people that otherwise wouldn't give a progressive the time of day because they are still living in the McCarthyism era. That red scare is very real..." "...Go strolling through a Wal-Mart sometime and ask them what they think about the word Socialism? And watch them, their veins will come out of their head, well, I don't like Socialism f*** that Socialism thing. They don't even know what it means but they know they hate it. That's how powerful the propaganda has been. So Bernie had to HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE COULD COUNT ON THE FAITHFUL TO NOT DEPART AND GO CHASE AFTER lesser stags or stagettes and that they would stay firmly in his camp and not sh*t talk him while he tried to work the back doors to get past these bozos in the establishment. It's a tough gig man I wouldn't want to do it I won't do it so it's kinda hard for me to poke holes in it but I can tell you I see the errors, not the errors he did, but the errors we did..."

  1529. Bottom line Bernie does not promote violence. Trump does! Project Veritas: how fake news prize went to rightwing group beloved by Trump https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/29/project-veritas-how-fake-news-prize-went-to-rightwing-group-beloved-by-trump Veritas they stage interviews, they've been sued for it. The group is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups. The group has been accused of routinely doctoring its videos, and was caught trying to feed a false story about Roy Moore, then a U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, to the Washington Post. Republican-Nazi's marched in VA chanting against Jews which Trump fully embraced. Bernie's a Jew and has nothing to do with communism! Trump promotes violence straight out of his mouth even said he could shoot someone and get away with it. Bernie has never said crap like that. Bernie's supporters know it's Trump who supports the real violence including the killing of thousands of innocent people that Trump is responsible for by his veto of the stop the war in Yemen act. You don't care about who wants to do real violence if you support Trump. Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act. Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't! Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars." In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people! Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries, https://nordic.businessinsider.com/trump-has-expanded-obamas-drone-war-to-shadow-war-zones-2018-11?r=US&IR=T Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/ Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November. After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-climate-change-golf-course-223436 Trump's 30 Biggest Broken Promises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD_xyAjC-E Kellyanne Conway's IDIOTIC Statement on Dayton Shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwya0sdXDxc Trump makes jokes about someone who suggests we shoot immigrants.

  1530. Yang did a LOT of fear mongering in the debate on automation! It's here, yes, but not like Yang makes it out to be. I do think he would accelerate it. Where was Yang when the bad trade deals were passed and TPP was being promoted? He didn't speak out on any of that or any other bad policies that I heard. Andrew Yang and Automation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai Dave Rubin Accidentally EXPOSES Yang's UBI As Libertarian Trojan Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2VWliq7Jg&t=3s Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship EVERYONE GETS IT AND THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS YOU'RE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS VERY VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE I PREFER THE CASH AND THEN THIS NEW INCOMING POPULATION WOULD JUST OPT FOR THE DIVIDEND AND THEN NEVER END UP ON THESE WELFARE PROGRAMS SO YOU WOULD END UP SHRINKING THE ENROLLMENTS OVER TIME AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Now you can interpret that anyway you want! But Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. If you don't think that is Yang saying he will eliminate the social programs, fine, but I think that is exactly what he is saying his goal is! I'm not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out of housing assistance, food stamps, transportation, and other cash like programs for $1,000 a month. Some probably will but it's pure speculation for Yang to say how many will opt out/opt in that he says will help fund the costs of UBI. I do not believe the House and Senate will pass BOTH UBI and Medicare for all while keeping all of the existing social programs! I don't even believe they would pass just UBI without eliminating existing social programs! Eliminating existing social programs would hurt the poor more than UBI would help them! Around 17:00 min into the video Richard Wolff Interview On TYT on UBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZOF9ZsNWQ Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” ― Benjamin Franklin What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "Is likely to hurt more than it helps" "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get.""I don't see writing checks for everybody as a part of the American tradition. The American tradition is if you are able bodied you should work..." "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! I'm no Hillary supporter but how about what she said on UBI........ Hillary Clinton seriously considered running her 2016 campaign for president on a platform built with UBI. But she couldn’t figure out a reasonable way to pay for it. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the numbers work,” Clinton wrote in her campaign memoir, “What Happened.” “To provide a meaningful dividend each year to every citizen, you’d have to raise enormous sums of money, and that would either mean a lot of new taxes or cannibalizing other important programs. We decided it was exciting but not realistic....” End of quote and I especially noted what she said about new taxes OR cannibalizing other IMPORTANT programs! I disagree with Yang on not raising the min wage to $15! Over 200 economists have signed a petition for raising the min wage to $15! Does Andrew Yang Want The Most Regressive Tax In The World? Point of information, there is a question mark there! And I didn't title the video. Anyone can watch it and decide for their self! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyjK1wIvRVQ Starting around 9:30 in the video on the Vat. https://www.moneycrashers.com/whats-is-your-opinion-about-a-value-added-tax/ And another problem in the videos I've seen Yang fails to properly answer the question of housing costs inflating. He suggest because “vendors” and “firms” will not collude to raise prices. Landlords and Homeowners are not vendors and firms. GOV. CONTROL OVER JOURNALISTS? On his CNN Town Hall Yang was basically saying he wants the gov. to decide what is misinformation that Journalists puts out. I'm definitely against that!

  1535. larimer you can judge Yang any way you want and I will do the same! IMO he was bribing people to go to his website and he is trying to buy the presidency! Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

  1565. It's another day, so I will give it another try LOL to see if my comments show up that I had already replied. All of my opinions did not come from others but directly from Yang himself during interviews and what he had written at his website! First off, Yang started out with he wouldn't let those on Social Security get both UBI and their SS incomes. He said that on the Humanist Report during an interview. While he would give Millionaires and Billionaires UBI allowing them to also have their incomes. Yang changed that to allowing certain ones on Social Security to get both while others would have to make a choice! That was stated at this website. I have family on Social Security so that was a big concern! Yang tried to gain support making others think he was for the same UBI as Nixon was while Yang never mentioned that Nixon had a work requirement with his proposed UBI so they were clearly NOT the same UBI. Yang had written at his website he would cut the Federal work force which meant people out of work! In the beginning Yang had at his website he was for Medicare for All OR some new healthcare plan while he finally admitted he was only for the spirit of Medicare for All LOL Yang was either vague on what he wanted or a flip flopper, not consistent. Considering he had never been in office with a record that would clearly show what he was for/against it was very important for him to be consistent, not vague, on what he was running on but he wasn't. He praised Bloomberg for being a great Mayor when Bloomberg was a terrible Mayor! Not to mention Yang selling out to CNN! When Yang was asked recently in an interview if he would take Corp donations? Again, he wouldn't directly answer and was vague. I don't vote for anyone with that kind of inconsistency or if I don't agree with their policies. I hear more and more people commenting that use to be a supporter of his that now they are not. I was never a supporter of his but there were many that were that now are not. Yang's UBI would not had helped everyone! I listened to a very good debate on youtube from someone that is a Republican some say Libertarian that was FOR UBI debating a progressive that was against UBI and after hearing that I would never vote for someone running on UBI. If Yang's UBI version passed and there would definitely be that risk just like we ended up with a Republican healthcare plan with Obamacare that would hurt more people than it would help!

  1572. NO! That's not how Bernie always does! Bernie knows he's NEVER been one to go on personal attacks so if someone (and this is a general statement not meant personally to you) doesn't like how Bernie goes after the establishment not other candidates or politicians personally then they should run for the presidency their self if they think they can do better!! Bernie has always wanted to win on his own policies and whether someone likes that or not it's just the way he is. He doesn't change when he is running for being president. He has always fought for people to get the policies they need and on the voting floor in the House and then the Senate for the issues he fights for people to have! That's how he has always attacked like it or not. Also. there is this.... "The campaign was in between a rock & a hard place because they had some pretty solid data that any time they go after JoeBiden hard they actually do worse.." Kyle Kulinski So instead of putting it all on Bernie, voters have to take some responsibility, too, if they are voting on policies or because someone that will go on the attack but isn't for the policies they want. I also put blame on the youth that are for his policies but didn't show up to vote. Lots of blame to go around not just on Bernie. And keep in mind, too, anything Bernie does is consider dividing the party or lying so I just don't think people realize what he's really been up against for decades. Not sure why he would even keep fighting for Medicare for all, ending the wars, raising the min wage when there isn't enough people fighting for that, too!

She didn't fight for them so I don't trust her to fight for anyone else. 2. Her record with Dow Chemical. 3. She didn't support the only progressive in the last primary. 4. She transferred dark money from her Senate run to the primary while pretending to not use dark money. NO! It was not dark money Bernie transfered! 5. She said she would raise dark money in the general for the DNC. 6. She lied when she said Bernie said a woman can't be president. What's the evidence Bernie said that? There is NONE! What's the evidence Bernie didn't say it? When he tried to get Warren to run for president last time INSTEAD OF HIM is all the evidence I need to know she's lying! But there are also videos of him saying a woman can win the presidency. 7. And lets not forget Warren has told other lies! Including the lie she said she wouldn't have a super pac but now....... "Elizabeth Warren is a Super PAC Hypocrite" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMiLpatZDkk But what's one more lie, right? She was already taking donations from Billionaires! 8. She's been wishy washy on Medicare for all. 9. Warren flipped on supporting the popular vote to super delegates stealing the nomination. I will not vote for Pete, either!

  1615.  @jasoncorda3176  Everyone is a troll that disagrees so what? Yang has flipped so many times or if you want to call it amendments until he could go back to his original positions just as easily as he has changed them! But I know what Rubin said and I know what Yang said and I know what is at Yang's website, too, about Friedman and that is exactly what I believe Yang's intentions are! You believe whatever you want!

  1616. @Somebody I really don't care if people read or respond! I will say what I think is important aka my freedom of speech regardless of all of you yang hypocrites! YANG HYPOCRISY! Congrats for being one of the real yang banger hypocrites! All some of you hypocritical yangers can do is criticize someone for posting on Yang's videos or in other channel comments that don't support Yang while I am seeing some yangers all over other candidates sites many of the same Yangers copying/pasting commenting in many of their comments saying check out yang and/or why the other candidates is not as good! Only some don't word it that nicely! Many copied and pasted on several threads ALSO I heard and read Yang supporters copy/pasting in comments on several threads telling their yang gang to go down vote any channel videos that say anything against Yang's policies and a lot of them attack those channels like vultures! And to add further to their hypocrisy they allege Yang's mic was off silencing him during one of the debates when Yang didn't point to it to show it was off but many Yangers would silence everyone in comments that doesn't support Yang. There is even more yang banger hypocrisy I actually read Yang supporters posting comments to go "spam" all of Bernie's live streams and comments posting about Yang and/or smearing Bernie. You yangers can't take any disagreement! But just as soon as ALL of you yangers are ALL off of Bernie's and other candidates sites copying/pasting and NOT in any of Bernie's live chats let me know! So at least you are not a hypocrite!! I have not gone to any of Yang's live streams, don't care to and I sure haven't posted for everyone to go spam his live feeds and his channels. What would you have to say about this comment from a yang supporter? ""Attention all US Voters, Andrew Yang is in great danger, and he needs YOUR help to wipe out all the challengers in the Democratic primary. To do this, he needs a meme machine and Russian troll farms. To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the three numbers on the back, and the expiration month and date. But you gotta be quick so that Yang can secure the nomination, and live the $1000 dream!" https://www.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/azupvv/so_to_be_president_andrew_yang_has_a_4chan_and/

  1736.  @RxR  I don't care where you work! I have done enough research to know Yang's does not have the best policies! I already knew what you said about Yang! He's done nothing in the areas that are important to me or to earn my vote! Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur as well as that's no resume in all the different areas it takes to be president. I will say the FACTS and if you want to call it smearing, go right ahead! I'm not angry. Not sure why everyone thinks when someone is passionate on issues or disagrees they are angry! I do believe Yang to be a fraud, and I didn't put the title on the video about him lying although I totally agree that he is. CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf UBI debate..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be By the way it is the progressive that is AGAINST UBI while the conservative some say he's Libertarian is the one for UBI. Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote Richard Wolff even relates Yang as in trying to buy votes! "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions.... "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes Benamin Franklin quote below.... “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” end of quote. What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "Is likely to hurt more than it helps" "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get.""I don't see writing checks for everybody as a part of the American tradition. The American tradition is if you are able bodied you should work..." "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And please don't tell me economists support Yang's UBI unless you can give me a direct link to a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version!

Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. And in case some of you don't know when most of a post is in lowercase letters, it's not shouting to have a some words in caps when it's stressing a point There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT.

  1784.  @ajslifestyle2803  Yes, from OIL, not from a VAT tax and not from people they speculate will opt out of welfare programs. Yang is disingenuous on his policies, not surprised his supporters are, too. Don't compare apples to oranges! I'm not misinformed about Yang! When HE SAID IT, I heard it, and I don't make excuses for liars! Yang has made changes in some of his policies since he started running for president (you want to lie about that, too?), as well as lying and being disingenuous, so there is no way someone can know for SURE he won't go back to his original positions or even come up with something entirely new! All of the important votes in the House and Senate, there is also no way to know for SURE how he would had voted on any of them and that's just another FACT! His policies are not better, either. Yang takes donations from billionaires! Yang's is not even for a wealth tax. VAT tax even yang has at his website unless he took it down there are problems to be solved with a VAT! You trust him to solve those problems? Don't expect everyone to. Bernie's poll numbers overwhelmingly higher on the most trusted candidate on some of the issues. It does not take a genius to figure out why! Yang is fear mongering on automation, too, that's here, yes, but not like Yang says it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai "The idea that the robots are coming and taking away all of the jobs is laughable who works in manufacturing at the moment anyway most of those robots are taking those jobs what they've already taken they've gone already for the most part and of course people are doing different jobs and even if a robot could look after me if I'm still here when I'm 90 years old I don't want a robot looking after me when I'm 90 years old I want a human being to interact with me and with all of the jobs will always be there." Dr. Steven Hail end of quote "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Jared Bernstein quote https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2018-09-07/automation-really-blame-lost-manufacturing-jobs “From an economic perspective . . . there can be no revival of American manufacturing, because there has been no collapse. Because of automation, there are far fewer jobs in factories.” "Yet this view reflects a misreading of the data. As I discuss in a recent paper, although automation is occurring in manufacturing, as it is in other sectors of the economy, the evidence does not support the idea that automation was the main cause of the sudden decline in manufacturing employment after 2000. Although it’s difficult to precisely pin down what was to blame, a large body of research suggests that economists and pundits are wrong to so quickly dismiss trade and to blame machines."

  1800.  @midnite8729  I can totally relate! I do wish we could had all remained civil with each other even with each of the supporters pointing out why we support one or the other. Last primary Bernie was blocked out a lot, even with him being a Senator! He was almost an unknown to start with so that made it just as bad for us then as it is for you all now. This time even though Bernie is getting more major media coverage you gotta know it's been a lot of hateful smears from them. There was some of the time this time he wasn't getting any, either, 😒😒 I sincerely believe as is the case with me that the struggles of Bernie supporters believe his policies are better for our struggles (and there is a lot of support as I wrote to back that) while Yang supporters really believe his will do the best to solve their struggles with them thinking they have the best support behind them. For me, it's seeing my friends and others including Veterans knowing people are sick and dying because they don't have the money for healthcare and also knowing some of them could not see the doctors of their choice! One person I know that a doctor referred them to a cancer clinic in their area was denied because they didn't accept their insurance. Lets leave this on a good note just agreeing to disagree on healthcare because we could both say why we feel one or the other healthcare is better and probably not budge LOL Of course those that have thousands several thousand in unpaid medical bills wants the medical debt relief Bernie wants, etc.

  1804.  @midnite8729  That's fine you base it on a VAT but I was just pointing out Alaska don't. Yang and his supporters need to use comparisons that are the same 😊 No, I am not on public assistance but I know people that are and they are not going to opt out. That's not to say other people won't opt out because I am sure some people will some people won't but Yang is speculating how many will and when using data to base policies on it needs to be sound and there is no way Yang knows for SURE how many will opt out for him to base that savings on. Most of the people I know on welfare are single parents with 3 or more kids and as they told me there is no way they will opt out for a thousand bucks a month and like me they are worried that if Charles Murray's version of UBI is passed it would make things much worse for them as well as for the middle class even. Speaking of the VAT yes it's in other countries and many people in other countries hate it but let me use Yang's words that he has at his website unless he's taken them down he said there are problems that need to be solved with a VAT. Now, that's his words not mine! If you trust him to solve those problems fine, I do not, and neither do a lot of other people. VAT is a controversial and that's just a fact. I agree it won't be easy for Yang or Bernie's policies to be passed but it would be easier to get Republicans to sign on to Charles Murray's version if Yang is trying to pass UBI because some Republicans are licking their chops to do some of what Charles Murray's version would do and if I didn't mention it before keep in mind it was a Republican healthcare plan that got passed under Obama so there is the same risk with Yang that a Republican UBI version would be the one passed and one thing is for sure there is no way both would pass UBI and universal healthcare, With Bernie if the only policy he got passed was Medicare for all it would be a great relief for thousands of people.

  1840.  @PhD-JWT  I have no doubt on some things she would go up against the establishment when it comes to the issues she ran on last time with some slight changes on issues that I actually agree with her change on that aka Medicare For All. What I am talking about when I say I don't believe she will go against the establishment like Kennedy, Jr. will I am talking about on issues that are not the same as she ran on last time or that I have heard her talk about this time but rather, digital currencies, mandates, forced vaccinations, anti war (she is not TOTALLY anti war. Sometimes in some situations she is and in other situations she's not) I am talking about totally anti war, so I am not talking about issues such as free college tuition, Medicare for All, that I have no doubt she will go up against them but much more serious issues our country is facing now! What part about based on Kenned, Jr.'s "record" did you not understand? I am not voting for him because he is a Kennedy! I am voting for him as I said based on his record like all that is at the Children's Health Defense Website, Like all the times he went up against BIG companies as an environmental attorney, I am talking about him being against digital currency, speaking out against all the banning of free speech for the last 2 or 3 years so really did not like you implying without at least asking me why I am voting for Kennedy, Jr to just assume I am voting for him because he's a Kennedy! Marianne can't convince me of something she's not talking about or at least the times I listened to her she hasn't talked about and that I haven't heard from her in the last 2 years speaking out against the mandates and forced vaccines. Kennedy, Jr. is NOT anti vaccines like they smear him to be. He has had vaccines LOL He is anti FORCING them and I am to! Among the other issues I agree with him on.

  1853. Why I won't vote for Warren! 1. Warren was silent while peaceful Native Americans were being brutalized at Standing Rock. She didn't fight for them so I don't trust her to fight for anyone else. 2. Her record with Dow Chemical. 3. She didn't support the only progressive in the last primary. 4. She transferred dark money from her Senate run to the primary while pretending to not use dark money. NO! It was not dark money Bernie transfered! 5. She said she would raise dark money in the general for the DNC. 6. She lied when she said Bernie said a woman can't be president. What's the evidence Bernie said that? There is NONE! What's the evidence Bernie didn't say it? When he tried to get Warren to run for president last time INSTEAD OF HIM is all the evidence I need to know she's lying! But there are also videos of him saying a woman can win the presidency. 7. And lets not forget Warren has told other lies! Including the lie she said she wouldn't have a super pac but now....... "Elizabeth Warren is a Super PAC Hypocrite" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMiLpatZDkk But what's one more lie, right? She was already taking donations from Billionaires! 8. She's been wishy washy on Medicare for all. 9. Warren flipped on supporting the popular vote to super delegates stealing the nomination. I won't vote for Pete. either.....

I will take the freedom of choosing my doctor with Bernie's Medicare for all bill and the freedom it will give all of the people that will get medical and student debt relief, 50+ Scientists for BERNIE'S Green New Deal, not yangs! If my previous post wasn't enough to show Yang doesn't have the best policies here's some more.... Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee!

If you disagree with them take it up with them! I've already proven you lied when you implied I just made up the Scientists supporting Bernie. Now, that I PROVED you wrong and that there is Scientists supporting Bernie's Green New Deal you want to deflect to why you disagree with them LOL You are also a liar saying I "refuse" to post his accomplishments! But I will post them again for anyone that doesn't want to go through this thread to see I did post them! Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15. He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War. This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs. He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy. He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has! As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014. He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/28/1453742/-5-Times-Bernie-Sanders-Foresaw-The-Future? He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers. He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently. Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 https://www.mynbc5.com/article/report-vermont-ranked-as-best-place-to-live-in-america/22108021 Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys Ben Shapiro & Tucker Carlson Are % CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular! He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it. He spoke out against the peaceful Natives being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi. He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board that he helped prevent from passing. His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage. He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have That looks like a lot of accomplishments and consistency to me! https://twitter.com/GunnelsWarren/status/1147713369127956481 As far as why ban nuclear energy here's why and hey, I don't expect you to agree but it's where I stand.

He has just non stop beat this down that it should be a right. Obama went out there and sold us insurance reform. It didn't do anything but fatten the insurance companies.

  1890.  @ryanriley7005  There is nothing clear here that Yang wouldn't eliminate the safety net and in fact Yang does NOT push back on what Rubin is saying about blowing up the safety net and in fact at the end of what Rubin was saying Yang was agreeing with him but saying he "wouldn't do it all at once"! Like I said it depends on which interview you listen to! Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship EVERYONE GETS IT AND THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS YOU'RE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS VERY VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE I PREFER THE CASH AND THEN THIS NEW INCOMING POPULATION WOULD JUST OPT FOR THE DIVIDEND AND THEN NEVER END UP ON THESE WELFARE PROGRAMS SO YOU WOULD END UP SHRINKING THE ENROLLMENTS OVER TIME AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. Yang didn't push back on what Rubin said! Yang didn't tell Rubin that he was not going to do that! Instead Yang said, he just "wouldn't do it all at once". I am aware there are other interviews with Yang saying he wouldn't eliminate the safety net. I guess with all of his flip flops you will just have to decide which Yang in which interview you want to trust/believe. If I was not for the same version of another I sure wouldn't be advertising their versions at my website if I had a website that is.

  1899. Bernie's the only candidate that has been consistently fighting the establishment proven by his voting record that also lets us know he won't go back on what he's campaigning on as well as the only candidate that has been fighting for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular so it's no surprise he don't cozy up to the establishment whereas Warren does! She said she would take corp donations in the general. That says everything that needs to be said but for those that need more than is more LOL Warren was totally silent AT THE TIME peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock! And that was when Warren still thought she was Native American but she didn't even speak out against the horrific brutalization of what she thought was her own people and some people think she so will do something about all the other wrongs to the Native Americans or the crimes against the immigrants she mentioned or for any of the rest of us? Bernie spoke out against it, visited their communities and reservations as well as participated in protests in their behalf. If Warren gets president and more pipelines are allowed to go through their lands or anyone else's lands don't act surprised. Warren who won't take dark money in the primary but will in the general might as well take it in the primary because to me there is no difference! Either way they will be beholding to those corp donors. So many reasons why I don't trust her and you need to think twice if you think she would win the general. She is all over the place on Medicare for all so that would be the best place for Warren to compromise to make her corp donors happy.

Elizabeth Warren Gets Endorsement From Wall Street — The Political Vigilante https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEPn9c7Edls Ms. Warren left Dow Chemical off her 2012 list of clients. After Mr. Jacobson’s blog revealed her representation, she spun her work for the industrial giant as instrumental in setting up a $2.3 billion trust to pay women who said they were injured by the implants. That explanation, though, doesn’t jibe with her duty as an attorney for Dow, where she was bound to represent the company’s interests. “The notion that Warren was representing anyone other than her client is preposterous,” Mr. Jacobson said. “As an attorney, she had a duty of loyalty to Dow Chemical. If she explored possible ways in which Dow Chemical could extricate itself through settlement, her services were on behalf of and for the benefit of Dow Chemical, not the women.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/28/elizabeth-warren-corporate-lawyer-past-looms-over-/ Her statement on Assange: "Warren distanced herself from Assange but condemned the Justice Department’s move to curtail press freedom. “Assange is a bad actor who has harmed U.S. national security — and he should be held accountable,” Warren said in a statement." End of quote. Assange didn't harm national security. She can't condemn the Justice dept in one sentence for curtailing freedom and in the next condemn someone that was exercising their press freedom.

  1982.  @dostoveskiee  Raising the min wage has never destroyed the safety net LOL and neither would a FJG. You don't know Bernie very well or his record if you think he would ever let the safety net be destroyed if he were president as he would never sign a bill that would even cut it much less destroy it. Even when Obama and Biden proposed Social Security cuts with most every Dem on board Bernie was one of the few speaking out against it, got a large movement behind him to make sure that didn't pass and it didn't! Get something straight! Yang has been very disingenuous when it comes to his version of UBI. For talking about people for UBI trying to make people think they would be for his version when they are not the same at all. For example when he mentions Nixon I've never heard him say about Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT with his and only for couples with children. NOT the same at all! People need to be aware of the different versions and you are fooling yourself if you don't know with UBI there would be that risk of a version being passed that would hurt the middle class and poor a lot more than it would help them! Such as Charles Murray's version. Why do you think Yang has at his website about Friedman? Unless he's removed it. Why do you think Yang didn't push back on what Rubin said about blowing up the safety net. Yang comes out of nowhere with no political record to show he would do anything he says but you trust him to make sure a version of UBI is passed that won't hurt people more than it would help them. He has made changes to his UBI since he started running for president! NO one can know for SURE he won't go back to his original positions or even new ones! I came out of the Republican party! Most of them don't want free money as in not having to earn it or work for it but with some of them if the safety net was destroyed they would be all for it. I have Republicans in my family, friends, as well as I'm in a Republican area and none of them would vote for Yang with a few exceptions if they think the safety net would be eliminated. I'm one of the few as a Republican that has never wanted the safety net destroyed or cut. This does not even begin to scratch the surface on the research I've done... CORE CONCLUSIONS CHAPTER NINE Taking account of the evidence and arguments set out above, we come to the following conclusions. ▪ Making cash payments to individuals to increase their purchasing power in a market economy is not a viable route to solving problems caused or exacerbated by neoliberal market economics. ▪ There is no evidence that any version of UBI can be affordable, inclusive, sufficient and sustainable at the same time. ▪ There is no evidence that UBI will help to increase the bargaining power of workers and trade unions, or solve problems of low pay and precarious work. ▪ Rapidly changing labour markets, inadequate welfare systems, poverty, inequality and powerlessness are complex problems that call for complex changes on many levels: there is no “silver bullet” of the kind that UBI is often claimed to be. ▪ The campaign for UBI threatens to divert political energies – as well as funds – from more important causes. ▪ It is necessary and possible to raise funds to bring greater security, opportunity and power to all people, but the money needed to pay for an adequate UBI scheme would better spent on reforming social protection systems, and building more and better quality public services. ▪ Many (although not all) proponents of UBI see it as a means to fix problems that unions care about. Thus the UBI debate creates important opportunities for unions to advocate for quality public services, progressive labour and welfare reform. ▪ However, unions should be careful when intervening in these debates that they do not unnecessarily alienate those proponents of UBI who are potential allies. 144 references are mentioned at the end of this report! http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf

  1983.  @dostoveskiee  Bernie's record tells exactly what he would and wouldn't cut! That was NOT my list of conclusions LOL I am not one of the 144 references that went into that UBI report. Feel free to take your debate up with them. Alaska's is based on OIL! Not the same thing! Even Mike Gravel is not for Yang's UBI. So disingenuous the way Yang and his supporters make like some people for UBI would be for his version when they were for a different version AND to compare Alaska that is based on OIL to Yang's that would be based on a VAT and Yang's speculating on people that would opt out of their current assistance programs! No one likes paying taxes but if depends on someone's priorities where they want their tax dollars to go. I am not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out for UBI and they shouldn't have to. Yang giving it to every wealthy person in the country in ADDITION to their incomes while making some of the poorest people choose does not set well with me! And don't tell me they want to opt out when that should be their choice if they want both or to opt out not Yang making them make the choice! And you are not a honest person if you don't admit there is a lot of controversy behind a VAT. Even Yang has at his website there are PROBLEMS that has to be solved with a VAT. You trust him to solve those problems, fine, don't expect everyone else to. As well as over 200 economists for Bernie's Medicare for all and raising the min wage so you can take your debate up with them, too! I've read comments, too, from Republicans that stated exactly what I said as well as those I personally know. Of course anyone can say they are a Republican that would vote for Yang when they might just say that to try to get him more votes. Most every poll for years has showed Bernie beats trump! As for Yang not eliminating the safety net. Feel free to put whatever spin you want on his own words! Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship everyone gets it and then what's going to happen is you're going to dramatically reduce the enrollment in these programs very very quickly because A lot of people will be like I prefer the cash and then this new incoming population would just opt for the dividend and then never end up on these welfare programs so you would end up shrinking the enrollments over time AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. Yang didn't push back on what Rubin said! Yang didn't tell Rubin that he was not going to do that! Instead Yang said, he just "wouldn't do it all at once". I am aware there are other interviews with Yang saying he wouldn't eliminate the safety net. I guess with all of his flip flops or if you rather call them changes you will just have to decide which Yang in which interview you want to trust/believe.

  1984.  @dostoveskiee  I think I've put a lot more food for thought into policies than most Yang supporters that are just looking at getting free cash as in not having to work for it or earn it..... Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for!

In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people!

  2008.  @GnomesRox  You can doubt anything you want! Doesn't make it not true. Like I doubted the jabs would stop someone from getting the virus and keeping others from getting it and turns out straight from the horses mouth I was right. Were they quacks? Doesn't matter they were wrong then and they could be wrong now. I am not going to take time to go back to look up their credentials but they were very impressive and I feel sure their credentials would out weigh yours? But if you are a doctor feel free to give me your credentials. I don't take time to go back to look them up because anyone that does research can find them and then judge for their selves whether they want to think they are quacks or not but if someone actually thinks there are no doctors with a long list of credentials that are coming out more and more against these jabs that have been for all the previous ones they are only fooling their self. I wonder just why so many doctors recommend them and nurses? Could it be because their licenses are threatened? Still believes in the mandates and jabs for older people? They were wrong to start with but my all means put your faith into them that they are totally correct now LOL As for me bottom line there are risks! I mean they are even listed by the vaccine makers and that is reason enough to leave people alone, stop the hate (not saying you are among those haters), encourage people to listen to both sides then let people decide for their selves! That's just one reason why I love being an Independent for several years because I can listen to both sides and decide for myself which carries the greater weight. I am on both sides on one thing or the other but I don't take sides on either one on everything.

  2015.  @hairy.beanbags  Well, I've read where a lot of people including Yang supporters know who Richard Wolff is. Anyone can google who they are including Senator Mike Gravel in Alaska since Yang gives reference to Alaska a lot. I should had written former Senator though since he's not senator now. Totally disagree with you on all the research I've done Yang's polices are not better! In addition to the research I already posted which by the way I didn't put the title on the video even though I agree with it.... Yang Admits He's Been Lying About Medicare For All https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gUnOGcYXnk Around 3:32 into the video Yang is asked "You're adopting the label but not the bill?" Yang replies, "That's correct" Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee!

Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And please don't tell me economists support Yang's UBI unless you can give me a direct link to a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! Why a Job Guarantee is Superior to UBI in Every Conceivable Way https://steemit.com/job/@smithwillsuffice/why-a-job-guarantee-is-superior-to-ubi-in-every-conceivable-way Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 There is no way BOTH Ubi and Medicare for all would pass both the House and Senate and we need Medicare for all more! Dave Rubin Accidentally EXPOSES Yang's UBI As Libertarian Trojan Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2VWliq7Jg&t=3s When Yang was asked Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, "just wouldn't do it all at once." Spin it or interpret it however you want but Yang did not push back on what Rubin said, Yang didn't say that was not how he would do it but Yang was saying he would eliminate the safety net which would hurt the poorest people more than UBI helps them! And we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI and no way both would pass. Yang even has at his website about Friedman so what about Friedman? Yang has there about Friedman wanting to replace welfare programs with UBI. Wonder why Yang has that there? I am aware there are other interviews with Yang saying he wouldn't eliminate the safety net. I guess with all of his flip flops you will just have to decide which Yang in which interview you want to trust/believe. UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY

  2017.  @hairy.beanbags  I will be happy to tell you in my own words but like so many Yang supporters have said to do research and that's what I do! To make sure I have evidence to back up my saying Bernie's policies are better. I don't vote based on what helps one person! As long as it helps my self interest, too, I vote for who I think will most help EVERYONE except for the top one percent and there is a few things that I feel will do that. Bernie's Medicare for all for one. I don't believe BOTH UBI and Medicare for all would pass! That and wiping out medical and student debt if nothing else passed would be a great help to most every American except for those that don't need Medicare for all and don't have medical and/or student debt. There is a risk that Charles Murray's version of UBI would end up being the one passed since he is a conservative that is the version conservatives would want and that version would hurt the middle class and poor much more than UBI would help. If we had Medicare for all already in place, medical and student debt wiped out, even though I might still not want to take the risk knowing what UBI is intended to do I would come closer to being open to it. Now, I know I didn't answer exactly on How Bernie's bill would help you. I am realistic enough to know his policies might not help everyone but for sure Yang's policies are not better when it comes to helping more people, Bernie's will do that and he has the consistent record I trust so I don't worry he will go back on what he campaigns on. The FJG doesn't force anyone to work but it's there for those that want it and there is a lot of people that would love having that.

  2026.  @Kia-iq7dh  Nope, haven't applied and never been on welfare but I know people that are and they told me they will NOT opt out for UBI. I am sure there are some people that will but it's nothing but speculation on how many will and how many won't! I am all for improving existing social and welfare programs but not Yang's UBI. Listen to Charles Murray's UBI. It will be a lot worse for poor people than it is now! Do you know what it's like to be out of work but ACTUALLY WANT TO WORK? No one has to work for the federal government under Bernie's FJG but for those that want those jobs they should be there for those that want them! And for sure we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI. Automation is here, yes, but not like Yang makes it out to be! It's the same fear mongering on automation that has been for decades. Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

  2065. Bottom line Bernie does not promote violence. Trump does! Project Veritas: how fake news prize went to rightwing group beloved by Trump https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/29/project-veritas-how-fake-news-prize-went-to-rightwing-group-beloved-by-trump Veritas they stage interviews, they've been sued for it. The group is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups. The group has been accused of routinely doctoring its videos, and was caught trying to feed a false story about Roy Moore, then a U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, to the Washington Post. Republican-Nazi's marched in VA chanting against Jews which Trump fully embraced. Bernie's a Jew and has nothing to do with communism! Trump promotes violence straight out of his mouth even said he could shoot someone and get away with it. Bernie has never said crap like that. Bernie's supporters know it's Trump who supports the real violence including the killing of thousands of innocent people that Trump is responsible for by his veto of the stop the war in Yemen act. You don't care about who wants to do real violence if you support Trump. Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians. Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act. Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't! Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars."

  2082.  @LawTzuTao  Do you think I care how I sound to you? After all of the hateful cultist angry comments I have read from Yang supporters? I don't. I don't know all the answers never have claimed to. If I thought I had all of the answers I wouldn't had done a ton of research that I have! Would be no need to LOL but I do look for answers from credible sources, debates, reports, which mostly include Professors of Economics and other economists that after listening to them I feel they have the answers. After listening to the debate between Charles Murray a conservative for UBI and Jared Bernstein, a progressive AGAINST UBI that lays out very well exactly what UBI is and what it will do! I guess all of those professors and economists I have listened to are ignorant, too LOL I also know some of the ones yang has used to support his UBI such as Nixon when Yang conveniently leaves out Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT with his and only for couples with children. Or talks about economists back in the 60s? That ALSO WERE for some form of FJG so they are not the same as Yang's UBI, either. That kind of disingenuous information, Yang's flip flops where no one can know for sure he won't go back to his original positions, taking Yang's words that he said himself, and him not having any record to show he would do anything he says absolutely gives me a mistrust of him or any candidate that comes out of nowhere with no political record wanting to be president. As for Bernie what gives him the qualifications along with his consistent record that tells me he won't go back on what he is campaigning on even though I don't agree with him on everything it's that record that lets me know the issues I do agree with him on I don't have to worry he would go back on them. Bernie Sanders Accomplishments and his record is what makes him qualified... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aER6WSs9AmY&feature=youtu.be Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c

  2097. I said it before and I will say it again, HECK NO!!! To Warren being VP. Why would we want a VP that would reverse Bernie's policies if something happened to him while being president which could happen with any president so the VP needs to be someone that is the same on issues as the President. Can you imagine Bernie being president starting to get Medicare for all passed something happens to him and then Warren reverses all of that. I say again HECK NO!! Bernie/Nina2020 Receipts 1. Warren Misleads Voters On Bernie & Superdelegates Her lies alone would keep me from voting for her! OR for wanting her to be VP. 2. Warren was silent while peaceful Native Americans were being brutalized at Standing Rock. She didn't fight for them so I don't trust her to fight for anyone else. 3. Her record with Dow Chemical. 4. She didn't support the only progressive in the last primary. 5. She transferred dark money from her Senate run to the primary while pretending to not use dark money. NO! It was not dark money Bernie transfered! 6. She said she would raise dark money in the general for the DNC. 7. She lied when she said Bernie said a woman can't be president. What's the evidence Bernie said that? There is NONE! What's the evidence Bernie didn't say it? When he tried to get Warren to run for president last time INSTEAD OF HIM is all the evidence I need to know she's lying! But there are also videos of him saying a woman can win the presidency. 8. And lets not forget Warren has told other lies! Including the lie she said she wouldn't have a super pac but now....... "Elizabeth Warren is a Super PAC Hypocrite" But what's one more lie, right? She was already taking donations from Billionaires! 8. She's been wishy washy on Medicare for all. 9. Warren flipped on supporting the popular vote to super delegates stealing the nomination. 10. She's just a player in the game by her own words. She's not just a player in the game but a fake progressive in the game! 11. Elizabeth Warren's Old Colleague EXPOSES Her As A Republican Reaganite & A Pathological Liar! On YT Channel The Progressive Voice

  2120. Bribing people to go to your website is bound to pay off. Well, it's no worse than trying to buy votes. Tell me where was Yang when jobs were being out sourced? Before running for president did he ever say anything at all about any of the bad trade deals? NAFTA? TPP? Yang wasn't a kid when Obama was pushing TPP and Social Security cuts! What protests has he been in for gay rights? For civil rights? For anyone's rights? Any picket lines he has stood with workers on? When Obama and Biden proposed Social Security and Medicare cuts did Yang speak out against that? Since some of you yang supporters seem to think he is not going to eliminate social and welfare programs how about pointing me to when he has spoken out to protect them? Keep in mind I am talking about BEFORE he started running for President. Where was Yang when Trump did cut Social Security and Medicare? I like to know if Yang has protested against any of the wars? I KNOW I KNOW YANG HAS CREATED JOBS BUT THAT IS HARDLY A GOOD ENOUGH RESUME TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Wrote that in caps since some Yangers tend to miss that part of my comments telling me oh he created jobs. There are many important policies that are voted on and how a politician votes on them tells me if I want to vote for them or not. So tell me what policies has Yang voted on to show exactly where he stands on the issues? Oh, that's right he doesn't have a voting record. There has been many important votes in the House and Senate and we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT. And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president. Yang is not buying my vote! He hasn't earned it.

  2147.  @TruDruDragon  It's going to be an extreme let down for the yang gang when he does NOT win the primary much less the general. He's sure not going to buy my vote!

  2151. Yang did a LOT of fear mongering in the debate on automation! It's here, yes, but not like Yang makes it out to be. I do think he would accelerate it. Where was Yang when the bad trade deals were passed and TPP was being promoted? He didn't speak out on any of that or any other bad policies that I heard. Andrew Yang and Automation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRFRIiBUDA https://mises.org/wire/why-robots-wont-cause-mass-unemployment https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/19/uber-halts-autonomous-vehicle-testing-after-a-pedestrian-is-struck/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ee58ac24a543 https://theshopmag.com/news/consumer-watchdog-calls-national-moratorium-driverless-car-testing https://futurism.com/new-york-taxi-drivers-call-for-a-50-year-ban/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90324427/not-so-fast-driverless-cars-will-change-everything-but-not-anytime-soon https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai Dave Rubin Accidentally EXPOSES Yang's UBI As Libertarian Trojan Horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is2VWliq7Jg&t=3s Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship EVERYONE GETS IT AND THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS YOU'RE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS VERY VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE I PREFER THE CASH AND THEN THIS NEW INCOMING POPULATION WOULD JUST OPT FOR THE DIVIDEND AND THEN NEVER END UP ON THESE WELFARE PROGRAMS SO YOU WOULD END UP SHRINKING THE ENROLLMENTS OVER TIME AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Now you can interpret that anyway you want! But Yang plainly said at the end it would be the way Rubin said well just how did Rubin say it? Why not just blow the safety net part, etc and then Yang says over time, just wouldn't do it all at once. If you don't think that is Yang saying he will eliminate the social programs, fine, but I think that is exactly what he is saying his goal is! I'm not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out of housing assistance, food stamps, transportation, and other cash like programs for $1,000 a month. Some probably will but it's pure speculation for Yang to say how many will opt out/opt in that he says will help fund the costs of UBI. I do not believe the House and Senate will pass BOTH UBI and Medicare for all while keeping all of the existing social programs! I don't even believe they would pass just UBI without eliminating existing social programs! Eliminating existing social programs would hurt the poor more than UBI would help them! Around 17:00 min into the video Richard Wolff Interview On TYT on UBI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwZOF9ZsNWQ Does Richard Wolff think UBI is a solution?, "NO" "...Let me explain in a couple of ways first if you're going to give income without work to a large number of people who are not structurally part of the economy you're not going to over come the split between those who do the work and those who live off the LABOR OF OTHERS and that's a very dangerous relationship which the whole history of the human race seems to me to have taught us..." End of quote “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” ― Benjamin Franklin What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "Is likely to hurt more than it helps" "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get.""I don't see writing checks for everybody as a part of the American tradition. The American tradition is if you are able bodied you should work..." "The idea that automation is killing jobs has been around forever and the debate is the same.""Automation can be complimented with humans not replace humans."If in fact machines robots AI automation were replacing workers the rate of output per hour or productivity would be accelerating it would and would be accelerating quickly. It's the OPPOSITE it's decelerate it's growing more slowly so clearly technology has not found its way into the workforce in reality such that it's replacing workers at any sort of an accelerated rate." Mr. Bernstein regarding passing UBI while keeping existing social programs, "...and that is a very expensive endeavor involving the RAISING OF MUCH MORE TAX REVENUE and thus NOT something I suspect many people in this room would readily support." And Mr. Bernstein was talking about just UBI not passing with existing programs so that's not even counting getting Medicare passed, too! I'm no Hillary supporter but how about what she said on UBI........ Hillary Clinton seriously considered running her 2016 campaign for president on a platform built with UBI. But she couldn’t figure out a reasonable way to pay for it. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t make the numbers work,” Clinton wrote in her campaign memoir, “What Happened.” “To provide a meaningful dividend each year to every citizen, you’d have to raise enormous sums of money, and that would either mean a lot of new taxes or cannibalizing other important programs. We decided it was exciting but not realistic....” End of quote and I especially noted what she said about new taxes OR cannibalizing other IMPORTANT programs! I disagree with Yang on not raising the min wage to $15! Over 200 economists have signed a petition for raising the min wage to $15! Does Andrew Yang Want The Most Regressive Tax In The World? Point of information, there is a question mark there! And I didn't title the video. Anyone can watch it and decide for their self! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyjK1wIvRVQ Starting around 9:30 in the video on the Vat. https://www.moneycrashers.com/whats-is-your-opinion-about-a-value-added-tax/ And another problem in the videos I've seen Yang fails to properly answer the question of housing costs inflating. He suggest because “vendors” and “firms” will not collude to raise prices. Landlords and Homeowners are not vendors and firms. GOV. CONTROL OVER JOURNALISTS? On his CNN Town Hall Yang was basically saying he wants the gov. to decide what is misinformation that Journalists puts out. I'm definitely against that!

  2152.  @shaaronie  Maybe you missed this part of what I wrote.... "I'm not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out of housing assistance, food stamps, transportation, and other cash like programs for $1,000 a month. Some probably will but it's pure speculation for Yang to say how many will opt out/opt in that he says will help fund the costs of UBI. " Maybe you also missed Yang's words, his not mine! On eliminating social and welfare programs but as he said he just "wouldn't do it all at once". And maybe you missed the part where I said that would hurt poor people MORE than UBI would help them! And you most definitely missed the videos that shows Yang is fear mongering on automation! If I was heartless I would want Yang's UBI to eliminate social and welfare programs just like Charles Murray for UBI wants and just like Yang's goal is. If I was heartless I wouldn't had kept people from losing their cars paying off what was owed on them! If I was heartless I wouldn't had given gifts to parents with children that couldn't afford to buy them for them. I could go on but while I am not heartless I am not going to vote for someone that I believe would make things worse for the poorest among us. Those of you that are for that are the ones that are heartless. I am all for improving social and welfare programs while I have read some Republicans are supporting Yang just because they believe he would do away with those programs. You vote for what's best for you. I vote for what's best for everyone and for sure that does not include giving UBI to the wealthiest among us.

  2154.  @shaaronie  Maybe you have a hard time reading? Yang said it, I didn't. Rubin said to Yang,"...Why not just blow apart the safety net as is take because we know it's just a boondoggle of middle management nonsense..." Rubin is absolutely saying why not eliminate it! Yang's reply "... That's the beauty of this the Freedom Dividend proposal as you have the six hundred billion or so and then you're saying hey guess what like now it's a new right of citizenship EVERYONE GETS IT AND THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS YOU'RE GOING TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE ENROLLMENT IN THESE PROGRAMS VERY VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE LIKE I PREFER THE CASH AND THEN THIS NEW INCOMING POPULATION WOULD JUST OPT FOR THE DIVIDEND AND THEN NEVER END UP ON THESE WELFARE PROGRAMS SO YOU WOULD END UP SHRINKING THE ENROLLMENTS OVER TIME AND THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOU JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ALL AT ONCE..."End of quotes Now you can interpret that anyway you want!

If you don't think that is Yang saying he will eliminate the social programs, fine, but I think that is exactly what he is saying his goal is! ALSO, we need Medicare for all more than we need UBI if you care so much about sick people that are dying because they don't have the money for health care and for sure you live in Santaville if you think BOTH UBI AND Medicare for all would pass the House and Senate. Charles Murray the conservative for UBI has no kind of health care included. Jared Bernstein against UBI knows it's not realistic that we could get both and keep existing welfare and social programs. Hillary knew it and I'm no fan of hers. Yang is the one speculating on the number of people that will opt out of welfare programs to get UBI whereas I said there is people that won't and also said there is people that will but Yang has no way of knowing the exact numbers of how many will or how many won't. I am all for improving existing welfare and social programs not for someone coming out of nowhere that has never spoke out against cuts before running for president and definitely has let it be known he would eliminate them but he said he just "wouldn't do it all at once".

  2159. I don't vote for someone based on talk! I vote for someone based on a consistent record. Yang doesn't have the record only the talk. Yang Admits He's Been Lying About Medicare For All https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gUnOGcYXnk Around 3:32 into the video Yang is asked "You're adopting the label but not the bill?" Yang replies, "That's correct" Andrew Yang is Lying About Support for Medicare for All https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ-a8bmEXc4 Andrew Yang: "Medicare For All Is Not The Name Of A Bill" (Yes It Is) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP_lPltuixQ Andrew Yang's Lousy Healthcare Deal Breaker | Tim Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8wl7Bo8Dzg 2020 Vision on Neoliberalism, UBI and More "Real Progress In Action" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvM1fTbYGPo Does Andrew Yang’s “Freedom Dividend” Proposal Add Up? https://taxfoundation.org/andrew-yang-value-added-tax-universal-basic-income/ Universal Education, Universal Health care, Federal Job Guarantee that completes the safety net instead of endangering it is what I am for! If you want to debate that's not better than UBI you can always try to take that up with Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College and Research Scholar at the Levy Economics Institute, NY that is for the things I just mentioned. https://www.pavlina-tcherneva.net/job-guarantee-faq Also National Job Guarantee by Professor Stephanie Kelton at the Sanders Institute - March 2018 And has been chief economist in the US Senate Budget Committee! "Economist at Duke University William and another economist from the New School Eric Hamilton relentless champions for a Federal Job Guarantee for so many years and they were finally recognized by Politico this year as one of the Politico 50 so one of the 50 people who are most having an impact on the political discourse so that was a pretty big deal in terms of getting that kind of on the National Stage but more recently Kevin Hassett who is the current Presdent of the Council of Economic Advisers made comments that what he believes that we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM "...You either don't understand what these things are or you do understand and you rather I don't..." Dr. Fadhel Kaboub (Associate Professor of Economics) on The Green New Deal, Federal Job Guarantee and Federal Financing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMcDhIv0pI Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. And if you mention economists that support Yang's UBI unless they are a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI it wouldn't be supporting Yang's. Nixon supported UBI BUT WITH A WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children but too many Yang supporters conveniently leave that out. They are not the same version! PRIMO NUTMEG #198 Around 30:37 Mike Gravel asked about Yang "Well, I think it sounds good but it's totally flawed because you can't turn around and tax people then turn around and give them the tax monies it just doesn't make any sense. What we have to do is change the nature of capitalism..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJBGGWEmuc&feature=youtu.be Josh Fox: No One Comes Close to Bernie Sanders on Reversing the Climate Crisis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I1gz1iBDG8 Debunk: Arguments Against The Green New Deal (TMBS 101) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZDCQbyod24 Around 5:33 in the video "For me it panders to the lowest conceivable denominator it's another candidate saying here I'm going to hand you some money it's buying votes it's look I'm going to give you some money and now you're going to be able to solve this problem..." "...we're gonna solve this by throwing money at individuals who will then hopefully spend it in such a way that magically all of the social problems are overcome..." Talking about Bernie's solutions....Around 14:15 into the video "You can go even further those kinds of structural changes even one of them would be worth a hell of a lot more than a thousand bucks so that you know you can get the idea across you are going for a much bigger prize when you go after these other issues..." End of Wolff's quotes What do you think Universal means (UBI) according to Jared Bernstein; "Take resources from people that need it and give it to people that don't need it." "The idea that automation has been killing jobs has been around forever." "UBI squanders resources on people that don't need it...a dollar you give to people that don't need it is a dollar that people that need it don't get."
