  1.  @CouragePope  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

  2.  @CouragePope  Now to correct your ignorance on thinking Bernie hasn't done anything for this country! First it matters to a lot of people even if not to you that he was fighting for everyone's rights before it was even politically popular to do so. That's doing something for people when you do it for them even when it's not popular! I am sure this will be too long for you to read, too, but just showing you don't fool me! Turns out Bernie's done more for this country than some people even know. Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c Also...... 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

  3.  @CouragePope  You better believe when I think about Trump that had no political record to show he would do anything he said and turns out he did go back some of his campaign promises as well as Obama didn't give us all of that change, either, that I won't trust any candidate without a record to show they won't go back on what they are campaigning on! No record=no vote from me but I also have done research and know Yang's policies are not better, either! No doubt this will be too long for you to read but it just shows the research I've done to show Yang's policies are NOT the better solutions! This is not all of the research I've done, either.... 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. Andrew Yang and the “Freedom Dividend” (Universal Basic Income) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtBt2OSL2Mw&feature=youtu.be Awesome summary of Yang being misleading on some of his policies! 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 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
