No, SaintHeartwing, it's people like you that IS the problem always believing we should vote for evil (voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil and continues to give us evil) and voting for the one the polls clearly showed having less chances to beat Trump! I will not vote for someone that is for fracking, endless wars, super pacs, bad trade deals, just because they throw a few crumbs in return for voting for them.
Yes, Dems do things such as voting for the Patriot Act, pushing TPP, many of them on board with social security and medicare cuts, ok with drones killing innocent women, and children, fine with brutalizing peaceful Natives and breaking treaties, voting to cut taxes to the wealthy while the middle class doesn't get any of those cuts, and just the fact Hillary accepted $$$$$$ from top Republican donors (those R's didn't bow to a Republican, they bowed to a Dem!) says it all. Wake up or stop trying to demand people vote for corruption in exchange for a few crumbs that they throw at people like you just so you stay asleep!

SaintHeartwing, if you are gay you are for gay marriage, if you are a Native American you are for honoring treaties, if you are in college mostly likely you are for free tuition, if you are in the military like my partner was many are for an end to unnecessary wars, if you are the middle class or poor you most likely want the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes, many didn't want TPP, and I could name more and my point is I will NOT tell anyone in any of these groups that their rights are anymore important than the others! You are being selective. I don't agree with Bernie on everything but if Hillary would had won then everyone would still be sleeping not caring about everyone's rights as long as we can make a few happy forget the rest, hey? Not to mention Hillary risking National Security. No, I won't vote for evil just to make some people happy. Bill Clinton was going to try to privatize social security and I totally believe Hillary would had done that or cuts, too, just like Republicans! And the drone killing of innocent women and kids, no, I won't care more about the few things you named than I will ALL the things I've named. If you Hillary supporters had paid attention to the polls we would have a president Bernie Sanders, I am totally convinced of that and given his popularity right now just backs that up. Again, it's people like you that wants to continue with the corruption. While I am not a Trump supporter he did put an end to TPP and a lot of workers and others are happy about that but surely you won't agree with them that just because he did one good thing that was a reason to vote for him? Like you think we should had voted for Hillary just to get the few things you named.

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.
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.

"There will be no unconstitutional wars under his (Bernie's) administration that he's going to have far greater respect and respect for human rights and he will be transformational on economical policy..." Ro Khanna quote
Bernie has voted with Trump 13.8% of the time. Tulsi has with a Trump 20.7%. Bernie is better when it comes to voting. Good intentions matter. Voting matters more!

@nainasingh7512 If she is the strongest voice against war, why did she vote for more Military Budget increases than Bernie? Don't get me wrong, I know Bernie is not perfect, either, but both of them are more perfect than the others running except for Mike Gravel. Hope he gets on the debate stage!

kingtut777 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,

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.

@NorCal-Killa If you don't know Yangers put up links, too, I suggest you save it to tell them! People can choose to put up links or not and to click them or not. I have clicked a few from yangers!
Yes, there are billionaires donating to Yang, too! I don't care about endorsements! I care about a consistent record on the issues I care about. Yang does not have that and yes he lied building popularity off of making people believe he was for Medicare for all when he's not.
Medicare for all that want it is not Medicare for all unless all have it.
I'm a Independent and I will never vote for Yang and neither will other Independents I know or Republicans I know.
I am aware some will as they lick their chops for Charles Murray's UBI version to be passed and there is that risk!
I am not dumb or closed minded! I go by records, voting records, consistency and after Obama and Trump, it's a pretty smart thing for anyone to do!
It's lying because Yang didn't admit to it for months!
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..."

@NorCal-Killa While some people like and can afford their insurance people are dying because they can't afford it. Denied procedures their insurance won't cover, can't choose their doctors. I don't defend that and the billions they make off of sick and dying people.
Yang's ads, his website was not clear from the beginning on Medicare for all that want it. Medicare for all is not Medicare for all unless ALL have it. It's false to frame it the way Yang and other candidates do.
If you think it's best to get everyone off of Social Security, Medicare, other welfare assistance, Medicaid for a thousand bucks a month then I can see what people would vote for Yang and that is exactly what Republicans want.
No, Yang doesn't SAY that is what he is for but there is that risk that version, Charles Murray's version would end up being the one passed just like Obamacare is a taken off of a Republican bill. You are less than honest if you don't admit there is that risk that version would end up being passed but you don't believe it would? Why? Because Yang said so LOL
He was no where on the issues before running for president. Just like people are calling Trump on being a con since he went back on some of what he campaigned on you have no proof of anything Yang is saying, no proof he won't go back to his original positions he started his campaign with, no proof he won't have new ones that a political record does give for people that want a candidate that has walked the walk instead of a bunch of talk!
You are the dumb one for blindly trusting someone that comes out of nowhere that never has stood with workers on picket lines, never spoke out against Social Security cuts, never speaking out against many issues BEFORE running for president and with no voting record to show EXACTLY what he would had voted for/against on all of the bills that have been voted on. Blind trust is as dumb as it gets if you want to go the name calling route.

Very Clear & Simple Reasons To Vote Bernie Over Warren
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZbJQx5fpcw
To add to what Kyle said in reasons I won't vote for Warren....
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.
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.”

Elizabeth Warren's $675-an-hour corporate lawyer past looms over progressive 2020 bid
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.

@yance0024 First, when talking about Social Security to say it stacks on top without ALSO saying it only stacks on top of SSA, the one you are referring to we all paid into, still because there is also Social Security supplemental income that can not be stacked on top of UBI yang supporters need to make sure they say it correctly since UBI does not stack on top of both!
Oh, it most definitely was a flip on SSA because Yang saw he was losing votes by not stacking it on top of UBI but point is that is still a flip AND Yang could very well if elected go back to his original position.
As for your min wage comments....
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
Don't think that many economists would sign onto it if it was as bad as you and others make it out to be. Please don't make excuses why Millionaires and Billionaires shouldn't pay their workers a living wage and it doesn't hurt small businesses the way it's alleged either!
As far as Bernie's record. It is that record regardless if someone agrees with a candidate's record that lets people know whether or not a candidate is likely to go back on their campaign promises. Yang does not have that record so anyway you look at it it's blind trust to trust him!
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?
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.
He should had ran for local office first so we could know for sure what that man is all about other than coming out of nowhere wanting to be president.
I have read some comments from some conservatives that support Yang because of Yang's goal to eliminate social and welfare programs. Without that Yang wouldn't have near the support he does from them.

@cp987 Let me help you know what I see in Bernie!
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.

He has 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.
He has always been against bad trade deals.
He has always been for Medicare for all.
He has always been for raising the min wage.
He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have!
That looks pretty consistent to me.
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

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,

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.

@MK-oz2lf You can google codepink just like I did and read their facts on Bernie, Tulsi, and others!
Wasn't it Greg Palast that went off on Bernie having won but then backed off of that changing to the general talking about Hillary actually won more votes than she was given credit for? If not there was someone that did? But it didn't matter because super delegates could choose the nominee in the first round so Bernie wasn't going to come off as a sore loser. I remember how Gore's own supporters did him when he wanted the recounts.
Let people speak out, protests, on changing our voting system. Bernie called out the rigging and with him being for the same policies for decades that I'm also for that's good enough for me!
Blah Blah Blah, Tulsi did defend Biden's racist record.
"Elizabeth Warren Kamala Harris — Joe Biden did not "celebrate" or “coddle” segregationists. His critics have unfairly misrepresented his important message to score cheap political points. I agree with Jim Clyburn and Joe Biden
"
https://www.facebook.com/TulsiGabbard/posts/2383774268345645?comment_id=2383831881673217&comment_tracking=%7B"tn"%3A"R"%7D
Blah blah blah again on defending Tulsi for defending Ellen being friends with a war criminal. If I was for Tulsi's polices none of that would matter but my point is she says and does things that if I wanted to look at that instead of her policies I could find just as much fault with her as you are with Bernie.
I don't defend the parts of Bernie's record I disagree with. I don't go off on an endless rant about Tulsi doing the same as someone else that I don't go off on a rant for. You are making excuses why it's ok for Tulsi to run in a corrupt party, not go Independent while bashing Bernie for not going Independent. And you ask me how are you implying Tulsi is perfect LOL
More blah blah blah on Tulsi's past. I have defended her past with the same as you have but no longer do since you all want to bash Bernie then you can do all of the defending Tulsi yourselves.
Yes, I regret helping get Tulsi on the debate stage after finding out she's not for the same policies I am AND with all of the Bernie bashing! But even with smearing Bernie like you have I wouldn't regret defending Tulsi, trying to get her on the debate stage if I agreed with her domestic policies.
As for Dem Socialist VS Social Dem, I don't like labels! I go by policies. Bernie gave HIS meaning to why he's a Dem Socialist and with all of the different types him explaining what it means to him and that I agree with is fine with me but if I had my rather's with all of the confusion over Socialism I would had rather he just called himself a progressive.
I could give you videos 3 years old of Bernie calling out the rigging but it is irrelevant to rehash the same crap.
As soon as I saw it was Jimmy Dore as divisive as he is (Republicans love to repeat his crap, too) and Debbie that has gone off the deep end I didn't listen to the rest. I don't listen to Dore anymore.
I know all about growing up in a conservative household having left the Republican party just to vote for Bernie. I would had left sooner if there had been someone sooner with a consistent record Bernie has on the issues I agree with him on. I don't agree with Bernie on everything but he comes closer to my views than any of the others having a CONSISTENT record on those views to show me he will fight for them! NO one and I do mean no one has any stronger backbone on the voting floor as Bernie does.
Feel free to waste your time some more!
I don't get side tracked off of policies to stop supporting the candidate I agree with the most.

Gregory Martinek Yes, some of those are extreme cases on how much welfare they get but some still get that much and I gave a website that gave the averages, too, not just the extremes!
I'm not sure what the site you gave figures into what they wrote the average monthly payments are but most likely including those that have incomes from other sources which would make welfare assistance a lot lower for them! But I know for a fact JUST SSI can be a lot more than that for someone that has no other income and of course depending on family size how much they get and if any other income that other family members get that live in the same house! That's not counting food stamps, energy assistance, housing assistance, transportation allowances, someone social services sends in the home for those that qualify for that, and other cash like programs so there is a lot of families that get a heck of a lot more than what is quoted there. The more accurate average payment should be based on no other income, families with children and/or other family members in the same house with no other income to get an accurate picture of what they would have to give up to opt into UBI.
Now, I'm not going to keep on debating that when no matter how you put it, it is totally speculation on how many will opt out that Yang is using to say what the savings will be towards UBI when he should just give it on top of their incomes regardless!
I don't like Yang's version, don't believe that will pass AND Medicare for all and we need Medicare for all more. He's wishy washy on Medicare for all as well as with his flips who knows what his final position will be on whatever he would propose!
There is many reasons why I won't vote for him. You have centered on one and I have gave my reasons why I am not for that one but so many other reasons I have already posted.
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? 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?
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.
And then there's all of the flip flops Yang has done, too, since he started running for president.
He should had ran for local office first so we could know for sure what that man is all about other than coming out of nowhere wanting to be president.
