  1. It's easy for me to know who I will vote for even though I don't agree with Bernie on everything he's been fighting for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular so that and his voting record has earned my vote and he has it.

  2. It's not the same thing! Jimmy Dore calls out Corp Dems who are NOT progressives. Hello! By attacking Jimmy you are attacking the ones that Jimmy wants to be elected that would be real progressives. It's what Corp Dems count on that progressives will continue to vote for them so we don't get the changes we need such as Medicare for all and a stop to endless wars. Corp Dems count on voters voting for the lesser of two evils so we can continue getting what their donors wants instead of what the majority of Americans want.

  3.  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.

  4. Bernie is the most popular politician so stands to reason he would be the one to beat Trump! I would not vote for Yang in the primary or the general.

  5. In addition to Warren not being for M4A, she said she would take corp donations in the general. I wonder what her policies would be after that? A lot of progressives won't vote for her just because she would take corp donations!
    9
  6. At least he clarified it. Not everyone does but I am still not voting for Yang!
    7
  7. Why would anyone vote for Yang? He would make UBI way too costly giving it to the wealthy, too, but deny seniors and veterans on social security to get it unless they opt out of Social Security. He has at his website he would cut jobs. He is not for the min wage now and that is just my short list LOL of why I won't vote for him!

  8. I do not consider Warren a progressive! She did not support the only progressive in the last primary. She claimed to be Native American but was totally silent while peaceful Natives were being brutalized at Standing Rock. She has been all over the place on Medicare for all and she said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far so when her donors call in the favors I doubt her policies will be the same as they are now. I also don't like her statement on Assange!

  9.  @TacetTheTerror  You are wrong about more Trump supporters really supporting Yang! I know Republicans that will vote for Bernie but not yang! Most Republicans mindset is the same if you don't work you don't eat. They know they could easily beat Yang and that is why some are pretending to be for him!
    5
  10.  @punkgrl325  Which policy don't you think would be good?
    4
  11. I can tell you why! It's because he's going against the establishment.

  12.  @thehumanity0  If a candidate that runs for president SUDDENLY changes on an issue/issues from what theirs was previously I wouldn't trust them or if they are vague on them. I also don't trust any candidates that takes corp money in any form. Mike Gravel is great and I hope he gets enough donations to get him on the debate stage.

  13. Military Budget votes Votes to increase Trump's military budget: 0 - Bernie Sanders 1 - Tulsi Gabbard 1 - Kirsten Gillibrand 2 - Kamala Harris 2 - Amy Klobuchar 2 - Elizabeth Warren 3 - Cory Booker 3 - Beto O'Rourke 3 - Tim Ryan https://vetsforbernie.org/2019/04/bernie-sanders-only-candidate-to-vote-against-all-3-trump-military-budgets/ So even though I am a Bernie supporter don't know how David can think Warren is more progressive than Tulsi? Warren is all over the place on Medicare for all and said she would take corp donations in the general so who knows what her policies would be then? Not to mention if she was so progressive she would had supported the only progressive in the last primary.
    4
  14.  @freddiemercury4evr  I think it was Jimmy Dore that Yang told that to and not sure if he mentioned that in other interviews, too, but that's just a lot of reasons I don't trust Yang and would not vote for him in the primary or the general!
    4
  15. Why is there so much focus on the general and not much on the primary? Someone would need to be blind as a bat to not know the voting problems in the last Dem primary.
    3
  16. She has voted for more Military Budge increases than Bernie has so really not sure why some people think she is more anti wars than he is.
    3
  17. Even if he isn't against unions there is a lot of other reasons to not vote for him!
    3
  18. I definitely would not vote for Yang! I do not agree with him on his policies.
    3
  19. Bernie is healthier than some younger people are. I couldn't keep up with him if I wanted to. But it would help for him to have a much younger VP pick that is the same as he is on issues. Then everyone shouldn't worry so much about his age. Bernie/Tulsi2020

  20. @nature giver There would be a difference in health care for people if it was not the same Medicare for everyone!

  21. Of course Yang came up faster! All you have to do is throw money at everyone to buy votes and it works for everyone that doesn't stop and take a serious look at him and listen to everything he says not just the part about throwing money at you. He lack experience in all the areas needed to run our country. I would not vote for him in the primary or the general.

  24.  Nalidus  That is exactly how it came off to me from the beginning because Yang comes out of nowhere with no political record to know if he would do anything he says. He should had ran for local office first and get a record so people could know what he is really all about but having said that I did listen to him and do some research where I know I am not for his policies.
    2
  25.  @RedDreamsOf1848  I agree with your comments but just want to know where your source is on how many Fed jobs Yang would cut? When going up against these voters that are jumping up and down for a hand out you have to have the sources and even then they just seem to believe he is perfect. Oh, another RED FLAG imo is when Yang said on The CNN Town Hall that he wants the gov. to be in control of deciding what is misinformation that the media and journalists puts out. That should have all the Independent channels speaking out about the dangers of going down that road even more than we already are.

  26. @ecbenny J Wow, you people really can't wait for this guy to buy your votes lol You should be listening to everything he says and pick up on all the red flags! He doesn't have my vote!

  27.  @maestrojo  Yang offering to throw money at everyone to buy their votes it's no wonder he is climbing! People don't think clearly when a lot of money is being thrown their way.

  28. This is how it is! I rather have someone like Bernie fighting for the policies we need that has the spine to not compromise policies that would hurt the middle class, seniors, veterans, and the poor then to have someone like Hillary that does so many flip flops that I believe she would compromise with Republicans passing policies that would hurt those people I just mentioned. Nothing passed is better than something passed that would hurt every day people! But I do believe if Bernie won that it would be from such a big turn out that there would be more real progressives win in the House and Senate and those that didn't win if they didn't come on board they would be voted out. Bernie for Main Street Hillary for Wall Street and Big Pharma

  29. Nothing is achievable with Hillary so why in the world is she running? Power folks, power. She doesn't care for the every day person and if you think she will do anything for them you are dreaming! Bernie has the long record of doing what he says! He has walked the walk. Hillary has the record of flip flops and is very good a talking but she doesn't fool us! Bernie for Main Street Hillary for Wall Street and Big Pharma

  30. Have a debate on GMO's (like it or not there is creditable evidence they are not safe) while we risk WWlll with Hillary, fracking, and bad trade deals. She is not against TPP now after having clearly been for it or she would had fought to got it in the Dem platform. Hillary also risked National Security (no other way I can interpret Comey saying how careless she was) and lying to us. All those reasons I would never vote for her and I don't vote out of fear. #JillNotHill

  31. 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.

  32. Yang does not have the political record to know if he will even do what he says! He also lacks the experienced and knowledge to know how to run all the different areas of our country. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcoannunziata/2018/07/27/universal-basic-income-a-universally-bad-idea/#7e69b97b3269

  33. 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.

  39. I know progressive Independents don't always agree but I don't understand why you all can't come together with one huge website that is progressive that would have individual channels for each of you? It's hard on people struggling financially to support all the different progressives but if all on one channel where everyone could donate and it gets divided among all the progressives channels. I don't like ads but you all could have ads there. Is there not some way to make that work?

  40.  @williamabraham2603  Do you even have the intelligence to point out what you think in Bernie's record is retarded? Or do you not care about a candidate's voting record? I could sure point out in a very long post the policies that I disagree with Yang on! As for Warren she is all over the place on Medicare for all, voted for more Military Budget increases than Bernie did and she said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far. That's a no vote from me!

  41.  @redwolf915  I can name some reasons why Bernie would not be for Yang's version of UBI and for sure I'm not either! Do you really think Bernie could get that passed and Medicare for all and free college tuition? We need Medicare for all now! The rest can be worked on after that but there is no way I would vote for Yang in the primary or the general! His version of UBI is more harmful than helpful.

  42.  @redwolf915  Would you also tell Bernie you don't give a hoot on the jobs Yang would cut or any of the other Yang policies that over all are more harmful than good! Yes, I actually believe free money would be more important to you than any of the bad parts of Yang's policies!

  43. I recognize Bernie's faults and have mentioned them but I won't throw someone under the bus (not saying you would!!) just because they aren't perfect. I do have certain views that if I don't trust a candidate on then that's just being principled but there is not a perfect candidate so I just go with the one that is the closest to my views. Bernie has fought for many years for everyone's rights well before some of them were popular. He deserves credit for that. What kind of record did Trump have for his followers to fall for? They fell for his words they agreed with and now that Trump hasn't lived up to some of what he campaigned on some of his followers are leaving. Others will stick by him no matter what. Bernie has been slandered a lot, too!

  44. Hogwash! Obama went back on a lot of his campaign promises! Bernie's voting record proves he does what he says. I knew about him before 2015 when Obama wanted to cut Social Security and all the corp Dems agreed but Bernie was speaking out strongly against it and he helped it to not pass! He was speaking out against the Patriot Act and voted against it while most others in both parties voted for it. I could name a lot more. Do your homework so you don't sound ignorant.

  45. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be 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." You can listen to the opposite views from Charles Murray on that same video and google both of them for their credentials. 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." Yang's UBI might get Republican politicians to support IF we got rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, all social programs and you can listen to the debate on both sides of what that could mean. The policies Yang has flipped on, it's most certainly possible he would flip back to his original positions! Yang also lacks experience in ALL the different areas needed to be president.

  46. It does make a difference when a candidate has a consistent record of fighting for the issues they are campaigning on VS someone that suddenly is for some of those issues when they are running for president. Warren is not about fixing all of the problems! She would be about compromising on a lot of them which fixes nothing. How can you think she is progressive when she is using dark money now and will take more of it during the general? I think Kyle did a much better job of laying out the real differences between Warren and Bernie.... 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.

  47. I'm a Bernie supporter but agree with you that Tulsi's record is what everyone should look at. And wasn't Obama against Gay marriage, too, before he was for it? I can't remember if he came out in support of it before he ran for president or after? The point that I think some people are missing is that that majority of people use to be against it so where would their rights be if Tulsi and others hadn't evolved?

  48. Speaking of UBI and the rest of what Yang was saying during the debate he did a LOT of fear mongering 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.

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."

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!

  49. When thinking about the "ability to forward the progressive agenda" one must be realistic enough to know not all candidates will do what they say! I won't ever trust a candidate again that campaigns on something without having a record to back it up. If someone has been for something and then suddenly when they run for president they are against it or they were against something until they started running for president and now they are for it I won't even consider voting for them. If they take corp donations I won't vote for them. So everyone is going to have their own opinions if someone is really a progressive or not and if we don't think they are some of us won't vote for them. Like in the last primary there was some major differences between Hillary and Bernie on issues so I totally understood the Bernie or Bust and looking back before that how many Hillary supporters voted for Obama? So there were a lot of Hillary or busters too.

  50. It was wrong her pushing the guy off the stage, period! Unless you want it to also be ok when Republicans hit or push people for saying something they don't agree with, we have to keep it the same for everyone! Violence is wrong. I didn't like it when I heard of straight people attacking gays and I don't like it the other way around, either. Sorry, that goes against most of the comments but I am against violence, period, unless someone is physically attacked where they need to defend their self.
