  12. 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....... 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..... "South Bend Politician: I Worked with Pete Buttigieg. He Did Not Respect Black Residents’ Struggles" On YT Democracy Now! Other interviews on StatusCoup & summary of his bad record on "Some More News" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMmoB2WMMlo&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDw6mxkL8vI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXBr8g79KVg I know Warren went after Bloomberg but so did the others! Warren was also attacking Bernie and still is.

  166. 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

  272. 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.

  448.  @dukeluke3744  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.

  501. +Crisis7 We applause your informative comments. I get tired of seeing so many people spewing out comments for/against a candidate that clearly distorts a record or doesn't have any facts to support why they are for/against a candidate. I expect to hear/read comments from greedy people that don't want everyone to have health care, that don't want seniors to have a increase in social security with some even wanting to eliminate it, pros and cons on foreign policy issues but I have to say the most disturbing to us is how uneducated so many black people are regarding Hillary's positions that have ALSO hurt them! Up until recently I only knew about some of Hillary's positions and I definitely knew about some of her flop flops where we could never trust where she really stands on issues but I didn't know the things that both Bill Clinton and Hillary have done to hurt blacks and when I started learning of some of the things you mentioned I started having even more confusion on why blacks would support Hillary unless they are part of the top 1 percent. Bernie Sanders as you stated was with the civil rights movement and even arrested for some of his protesting and has been consistent every since fighting for blacks and everyone else except billionaires so even before I learned of some of the things Hillary has supported that hurt them I was really wondering why in the world wouldn't blacks be supporting Bernie in over whelming numbers!? I know some people do not know much about him or his record but then again many do know but still support Hillary. We would NEVER vote for her.

  531.  @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

  542.  @daysjours  Oh stuff it. You care more about making sure major corps don't get anything then you do about all of the unemployed workers that need the part of that bill that is for them! I don't like that part of the bill, either, but it was either that, too, or nothing for the unemployed. You think you can do better run for office and do it. You and people like you disgust me that care more about Bernie going on personal attacks then you do POLICIES more than you do people dying because of not having the money for healthcare. "...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..."

  637. I am voting for Bobby! If you want to put his views about Israel above all things W E F, our border, man dates, our country etc. it's your vote but mine goes to him. I think more criticisms go to him from people that are only Palestine supporters than it does to Hamas. It's you opinion he is worse on that issue when his views are the same as Biden and Trump on that. As for West his praises to A. F. (auci) after all the h ate that went out to the UN v I won't vote for him but even though I think West is wrong what he said about A. F. I won't call him a l iar because I know he believes what he says. Bobby believes what he says and there is facts that back him up, too! After I saw some people in the US celebrating what Hamas did which was disgusting I decided to do some research instead of just listing to one sided people that have so much h ate and part of that was reading the Hamas Charter to find out what his intentions really are. I am against civilian loss on either side but a lot of people on the Palestinian side do not believe in Israel's right to exist. I DO! I believe both should exist and that there should be peace between them. That is not the view of most that are criticizing Bobby over this. One of the best quotes I have read is ""But this is such a complicated subject matter that literally both sides are right and both sides are wrong on different aspects of the conflict." For those not voting for him good luck on finding that perfect candidate. As for me there is no one I agree with on everything. Bobby wanting to bring the party back to where it use to be. I don't fault him for that and not sure why some people think he should not act like he has any feelings over leaving the party that his dad and uncle were in. Considering some in his family work in the Biden Admn it's no surprise their views. Lets not forget how the pandemic separated a lot of families over that one issue.

  665. ​ @kevinyang8856  Bernie has NEVER ran on UBI!! If you are not running on something you can't back down on it. He said he was open to it but that's not the same as supporting it. I was open to it, too, although NOT Yang's version until I did some research on it and now I am totally against it so when I was open to it that did NOT mean I supported it. Cenk asked Bernie to take the endorsement back so if you have a problem with that take it up with Cenk! A lot of people like Cenk and a lot don't but I don't let distractions like that take my mind off of policies and it's Bernie's policies I am voting for, NOT Yang's! As for Hillary, after Bernie couldn't get the super delegates to change their minds what did you expect Bernie to do threaten them? Or endorse Trump? LOL I am voting for Bernie's policies not for who he endorsed in the last primary! Bernie's record proves Bernie worthy! I understand you are mad because Yang can't get more Bernie supporters to support him. Deal with it! What is Yang's record? LOL 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?

  667.  @witcherschoolofthefox5941  I call them flip flops but yes they are changes. How Would Andrew Yang's UBI Proposal Impact People on Social Security? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3oZr6arNhw Around 2:50 in the video Mike: "But that still begs the question why would someone for example on Social Security disability HAVE TO CHOOSE why would they not get as much as someone whose making a hundred thousand a year do you kind of see so there's just the disconnect and I'm hoping you can fill me in on that if I'm genuinely misunderstanding?" Yang replied, "No no well your understanding of it is CORRECT" "...Does it do as much for someone who's already receiving Social Security and other benefits? It does not do as much for those households and to me that's like a separate PROBLEM we have to tackle and solve which is that Social Security is suppose to go insolvent..." End of quote. Yadda Yadda Yadda. Lift the cap and that problem is resolved! Yang is definitely wishy washy on Medicare for all, too! "Such a plan — Medicare for All alongside private health insurance — has received support from former Vice President Joe Biden, Reps. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Tim Ryan of Ohio, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who dubbed the proposal "Medicare for All who want it." https://www.salon.com/2019/07/07/medicare-for-all-single-payer-expanding-obamacare-whats-the-difference/ Medicare for all for those that want it is not Medicare for all. He had at his website for awhile that he supported Medicare for all OR some new health care system so he's definitely wishy washy on Medicare for all. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/436162-medicare-for-all-where-2020-dems-stand Yang, a former tech executive, supports moving “in the direction of a single-payer system,” either through expanding Medicare or “creating a new health care system” entirely.

  692.  @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

  763. Don't compare Biden a REAL corp Dem or Pete a REAL corp Dem to a progressive that doesn't take corp money! Pete was nowhere when Bernie was speaking out against the establishment and for everyone's rights! Bernie2020 or get Trump! PETE "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ "In February, Pete Buttigieg stepped into the Manhattan office of the Wall Street Veteran Charles Myers to talk politics over Deli Sandwiches" 2020 Democrats "Cozy Up" To Wall Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cjmWpYsMM Pete Buttigieg is No Progressive, But Cable News Want You to Believe Otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE-4GxZvbXI&t=190s Pete Buttigieg Turns To Corporate Bundlers To Raise Cash Rising Democratic star Pete Buttigieg enlists Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fundraisers to build his 2020 campaign war chest https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/17/pete-buttigieg-enlists-barack-obama-hillary-clinton-fundraisers-for-2020-campaign.html Buttigieg EXPOSED As A Centrist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBan-nWNDg USA today rated South Bend one of the top 50 worst cities to live in, at number 40.

  770. First about the bear. I care MORE about what Bobby has done for years helping people and him literally taking on corp corruption for many years but I know some people will care more about the bear. I know this is a long post so I totally understand anyone not wanting to read the rest. The rest of this comment is for anyone that doesn't know but also replying to charlotteinnocent8752 in their thread on this page many of my comments about what he was saying to me were not showing up so some points I will make here to see if they show up here since he didn't stick to the bear topic in his OP I want to respond to what he did write..... 1. He claims Bobby is wrong when he said autism can be caused by V's. "Family to Receive $1.5M+ in First-Ever V-Au /tis m Court Award" Anyone can look up the court case WON regarding this and then argue with the judge. Anyone can dispute studies/cases but it shows there is evidence why Bobby believes that. Also ""Study US quietly paid families for V linked Au /tis m cases." I also know there had been some court cases lost about that. We all choose who and what we believe but Bobby has legit reasons for his claims. 2. Anyone that wants the truth should listen to ALL of his words that he says out of his mouth then compare them to what is said in articles that either take his words out of context or have edited clips to make it look like he said something different than he actually did. 3. He has Scientists and Doctors on his side, too! Again we all choose who and what we believe. 4. HHS wrote Straight from H. H. S. and anyone can read it "Inert placebo controls are not required to understand the safety profile of a new vaccine, and are thus not required. In some cases, inclusion of placebo control groups is considered unethical." This is what Bobby refers to about there not being the testing he thinks there should be! 5. He says one of the things to look at when it comes to certain drugs and mass sh oot /ings but he never claimed they are definitely a cause. Reading the SIDE EFFECTS of them not sure how anyone could know know they COULD be a cause a long with the other things that could also cause that which Bobby pointed out. 6. For charlotteinnocent8752 to be so concerned with evidence there is NONE that Bobby has mental problems as this person claims. "RFK Jr is very much uh I would say at the height of his powers mentally he's very much in touch with everything he understands the issues but he hasn't really had a chance you know the entire mainstream media is against him he suppressed it every turn if you were to put him on the stage with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump there would be no contest RFK Jr would be the standout winner but is he going to get there..." Col. Douglas Macgregor Bobby talks about so many different topics, history, without reading off of anything. I doubt many can do that and also all the types of cases he won he could not had won if he had mental problems! 7. Bobby has mentioned peer review studies that some report as if that is him making a certain claim when he is quoting a study. Go after the ones that do the studies if you disagree with them. 8. I realize most here might be for V's but Bobby is NOT anti V's. He has had some of them and given all to his children. That's not anti V and if he were he would want to ban them and he's made it clear he's not for banning them. He is for CHOICE get all of them you want but leave everyone else alone. 9. A great example of Scientists that can be on both sides that says OPPOSITE THINGS! The case against Monsanto. Scientists on both sides Yale Scientist, Stanford Scientist, Harvard Scientist that were on both sides.

  806.  @LOSTONITALL  I think you stumbled into the wrong area LOL But since you were here.... 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.

  810.  @AliBooondok  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

  902. @john hodgson You know nothing of the EVIDENCE that has been suppressed!! Unless you listen to that evidence, the data on the opposite side and it's out there to hear (not from the major news media) directly out of the mouths of well known doctors and scientists that do not agree with what you wrote and then form an INFORMED OPINION for yourself after hearing both sides of which side you are on. Oh, really, if something is forced everyone just keep their mouths shut right? I can see you are clearly not for free speech or any other individual freedoms. Don't find out what any other scientists and doctors are saying because it's forced to do it the way the major news media is telling you to do? Just dismiss evidence that can prove them wrong or that they aren't showing all the data, right? WRONG!! Yes, there are doctors being threatened because they don't agree so they should keep their mouths shut even though they took an oath for their patients not for the major news media and/or others that aren't even doctors or scientists. I don't disagree with YOUR decision to have the jabs for YOURSELF just like I agree with those that their decision is not to take the jabs. I bet your conscience would be clear if anything happens to someone because YOU told them to take the jab. SMH And just to be clear I am not telling anyone to not take the jab!! I am just saying they shouldn't tell people to get it, either, and instead listen to both sides from experts (doctors, scientists, not others) before making their decision.

  919.  @remokousins2820  The Conservatives supporting yang because they know the intent of UBI. Charles Murray, also a conservative and if his version of UBI ended up being the one passed that would be more harmful than helpful to the middle class and poor. Billionaires donating to Yang know he would do nothing to fix income inequality! Yang has no political record to believe in. Everyone should had learned that lesson from Obama and Trump. I'm totally familiar with Yang and I won't vote for him in the primary or the general. As far as I'm concerned he's a con man trying to divide the progressive vote. Bernie polls overwhelmingly higher as being the most trusted candidate on many of the issues. Does not take a genius to know why! Bernie Sanders SURGES into National lead in new Reuters/IPSOS poll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEe4Cxjn5mU 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 The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c And you thought any blue would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T4OZ_CsdO8 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..."

  967.  @swanpride  Warren has been so wishy washy on M4A until no one understands for sure what her plan is on that! 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 BEFORE running for President? 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.

  1007.  @asce780  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.

  1012.  @kiinyuum8001  Bernie's record shows exactly what clues he has! And he didn't have to evolve on any issues, either. Hello! 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 http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 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 100% CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 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. 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

  1083.  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.

Nina Turner On Bernie Sanders Getting Nomination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G492WBXcEkk Then there is this... "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ Wall Street LOVES Biden, Harris, And Buttigieg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2ZXpX0RxKo "During the second quarter, Mr. Buttigieg attended about 50 high-dollar fund-raising events, for which ticket prices typically run $2,800, the maximum individual contribution allowed by federal law in the primary.

  1134. @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.

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? 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!

  1288. It will put a bigger tear in your eye if we get Trump because of those of you that would vote for a Corp Dem! PETE "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ "In February, Pete Buttigieg stepped into the Manhattan office of the Wall Street Veteran Charles Myers to talk politics over Deli Sandwiches" 2020 Democrats "Cozy Up" To Wall Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cjmWpYsMM Pete Buttigieg is No Progressive, But Cable News Want You to Believe Otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE-4GxZvbXI&t=190s Pete Buttigieg Turns To Corporate Bundlers To Raise Cash Rising Democratic star Pete Buttigieg enlists Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fundraisers to build his 2020 campaign war chest https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/17/pete-buttigieg-enlists-barack-obama-hillary-clinton-fundraisers-for-2020-campaign.html Buttigieg EXPOSED As A Centrist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBan-nWNDg USA today rated South Bend one of the top 50 worst cities to live in, at number 40.

  1313.  @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.

  1325.  Daemon Nine  Oh, I know his record and I know the lies about him not accomplishing anything. You don't care about what he has accomplished is the way you should had worded it! 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. 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. 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 http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 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 100% CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8

  1328. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

  1464. 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!

  1478.  @phillofarbious  Lets just put this into it's proper context. Something most Republicans don't like to do if it's something, anything to smear Bernie over! Firsts off, Bernie did not sponsor the bill but was a CO sponsor! next, I hope you are also condemning "The proposal had much stronger support among Republicans than among Democrats." unless you are a hypocrite that would just condemn Bernie on this AND as a matter of fact "GOP members of the House voted 197-26 in favor, while Democrats were more evenly split, voting 107-91 in favor. In the Senate, not a single Republican opposed H.R. 629, while 51 of them voted for it. Fifteen Democratic Senators opposed the bill, while 27 of them voted in support. At that time, five out six Senators from Texas, Vermont, and Maine were Republicans. All five of them voted in favor of the proposal." "The only reason Senator Sanders was ever involved is because the constitution requires Congress to approve interstate compacts. Texas Representative Joe Barton introduced such legislation in 1998, and twenty-three members of the Vermont, Texas and Maine congressional delegations cosponsored it. The bill did not endorse a specific site — in fact, it did not mention Sierra Blanca at all. Nor did the bill override the local and state approval process. In the end, the Texas agency in charge of permitting ruled against the Sierra Blanca site, choosing another site in Texas instead. So, the process worked. The compact, much less the site selection were never Sen. Sanders’ idea. He disagrees with the very premise of the 1980 law that led to the Texas-Vermont-Maine compact, since it put the burden of disposing of low-level waste on the states, rather the nuclear energy companies that produced much of the waste. In fact, he has long been an opponent of nuclear power precisely it produces waste for which we still have no solution (the Texas site is just for low-level contamination — there is still no plan for all of the high-level nuclear waste all across the country)." ANY REASON WHY YOU FAILED TO mention the key role that Republicans played in crafting and passing that proposal; instead YOU SINGLED OUT BERNIE ON THIS!! AND YOU DO KNOW BERNIE OPPOSES NUCLEAR POWER BUT HAS A LOT OF OPPOSITION FROM THOSE THAT ARE FOR NUCLEAR POWER!!

  1517.  @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.

  1530.  @cgall4444  And just in case you are a Trump supporter..... 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.

  1567. I would not and will NOT vote for Hillary! That is the whole idea behind voting for Bernie Sanders voting against the establishment and politics as usual. I know this will make a lot of people upset at me LOL but if Bernie doesn't win then the Dems deserve to loose to the Republicans and for things to get worse. I am sick and tired of hearing people say "Bernie, can't win" when he can win if the majority of Dems vote for him. People say they want change, they want fairness for the middle class and poor, they want higher min wages, no cuts to social security or veterans benefits, no to TPP, etc. but yet they are willing to vote for someone that flip flops on issues, someone that is a Wall Street supporter and wants Wall Street to love her. Well, I don't love Wall Street and I don't love Hillary so Bernie can be nice to her all he wants as I understand it's his integrity that he always has but I don't have that kind of integrity LOL to vote for someone that I don't trust and that has not stood up for the middle class and poor THE WAY Bernie Sanders has consistently and all his political life. If there was not a better choice then I would understand Dems voting for Hillary to get the lesser of two evils but there is a BETTER choice and that BETTER choice is Bernie Sanders. I am usually a caring person but if someone votes for Hillary and she wins and things don't get better for the middle class and poor and if things get worse for seniors and veterans because she compromises on their benefits (Bernie Sanders would NEVER compromise those benefits that would hurt even one senior or veteran) then I don't want to hear them whine!!

  1573. You know what really makes me upset when it comes to the Major News Media, I know they are going to be political pushing issues and their interests but these so called Judges that get on Fox News preaching about our constitutional rights without ever mentioning a word about the broken treaties that is still going on with the Natives. Or if they have spoken out against it I sure haven't heard them. Those treaties are to be honored just as much as anything else in our constitution! Another thing that upsets me is all those that claim to be Christians speaking out only on the issues they think the Bible agrees with them on while throwing out the rest of the Bible that would clearly condemn what is being done to the Natives or any other human being. We had a chance to have a candidate that protects everyone's rights even though uneducated idiots try to say Bernie is a communist when Bernie has stood up for our freedoms more than most other politicians citing the Patriot Act as just one example where Bernie voted against it while most of the other politicians in both parties voted for it. It's time for people to wake up and get their heads out of the sand. To know who is really on their side and who isn't. When I say their side I mean everyone except for Billionaires. Nothing wrong with Billionaires if they were not trying to run the country only for their own benefit. Every able bodied person that cares about the Natives and our water should be there standing with them at Standing Rock! If there is a God I wish He would pour down His judgement on all those that are hurting the peaceful protesters.

  1632.  @henry5497  Just how do you figure someone that is working towards a college education gets relieved of that debt is the same as giving people free money as in no strings attached not having to work for it or earn it! 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! 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.

  1650.  @salazarpayne3784  They aren't Bernie supporters in any way. Project veritas is a sham. 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. 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 which is Trump and some of his supporters! If you think someone hired to pretend to be a Bernie supporter pushing crap like Trump does is believable you are delusional. 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. 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.

  1651. Throw free money at people and they will respond. 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.

  1658.  @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.

  1710.  @Tsxtasy1  Ok, just keeping it real! I do NOT vote for a candidate based on what they say IF they don't have a record to back it up! Some of the candidates were for Medicare for all then back peddled. Others, like Warren, was all over the place on their answer if they support Medicare for all. It amazes me after Obama campaigned on one thing then did another to the point of a Republican saying they got 70 percent of what they wanted from Obama that voters would still go by those warm and fuzzy speeches of politicians when they haven't proved they have walked the walk on all the issues they care about! Dems controlled all 3 to start with so no reason they couldn't had passed more of what their voters wanted then and got rid of those wealthy Bush Tax cuts! Point is again, I don't care what they say, what they run on, if they don't have a record to back it up and Bernie and Tulsi are the only ones that have that record on several issues I care most about. Then there is what candidates don't take corp donations? That's another thing I will not vote for a candidate that takes corp money either now or in the general. Warren plainly said that she would take corp money in the general IF she makes it that far and then we know who she would be beholding to. Then there's fracking, bad trade deals, that I don't know of anyone running that was against the TPP? Other than Bernie. I don't vote for a candidate that is for something before they are against something then they are for it again. I know Tulsi has made some changes but it's been years since she made those changes so I don't worry she changed just to get elected President. Ok, that's enough for you to get my point on what I go by when I vote. If you have different opinions on what you go by that's fine but those are mine!

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.

  1789. 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!

  1790. 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. Listen to youtube video "Former healthcare exec Wendell Potter rips and answers CNN's industry talking points on YT channel The Hill to see why Yang's healthcare is not the best, either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxDj4TgnQIwAs 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 Andrew Yang Angling For Biden VP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dcyFPaM44U&t=2s Yang's words in that video start around 25 seconds into the video! https://fee.org/articles/andrew-yang-s-math-doesn-t-add-up-on-universal-basic-income/ 2020 Vision on Neoliberalism, UBI and More "Real Progress In Action" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvM1fTbYGPo The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c And you thought any blue would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T4OZ_CsdO8 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 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/

We will all be paying into Medicare for all except for those with very low incomes that don't now anyways, so not sure how you can compare that to free money given to everyone as in no strings attached, not having to work for it or earn it? But also Bernie fighting for everyone's rights for decades even before fighting for some of them were politically popular has earned out votes!

Thank God, I WOKE UP, to the greed, selfishness, and hatefulness of many in the Republican party and left it to vote for the only candidate with a consistent record for decades on policies that actually care about people! Since you don't know what communism is, I bet you think Canada is a communistic country, too? LOL Name one policy of Bernie's that's a communistic policy? 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.

  1833.  TheMan WhoLaughs  I don't get distracted with lies and/or smears! I'm focused on policies and Bernie has the consistent record on those policies! You are full of crap! And you think wrong! 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!

  1892.  @ConradShaw1  I agree the existing welfare programs need fixing but not threatened with elimination. I am not on Welfare but I know people that are and they won't opt out. Medicare for all is needed more and there is no way both Medicare for all and UBI would pass and if it ended up being Charles Murray's UBI version getting passed that will hurt the middle class and poor more. 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.

  1940.  @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.

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.

  1989.  @XKenny77  I am not even going to go back as many comments in this thread to see what I have already said as I have been answering a lot of replies in different threads so if this is a repeat here in this thread sorry about that..... You mentioned replacing welfare is the whole point. Do you have any idea how many Yang supporters have argued that they believe Yang will ALSO protect existing welfare programs in addition to having UBI? A LOT!! If they really believed replacing welfare programs is what Yang will do or that will happen Yang would lose some of his support!! Maybe even a lot. I'm not on welfare but I know people that are and they will not opt out of their housing assistance, food stamps, transportation, other cash like programs for one thousand dollars a month. No doubt some people would but it's pure speculation to say how many! A lot of us believe UBI would be more harmful than helpful to poor people where it would not abolish poverty considering some of them get services worth more than one thousand a month on existing social programs and considering everything that would be increased such as rent if there was UBI and no housing assistance! From the time I started working I loved my jobs! I do believe in increasing the min wage but I love working a lot more than I would getting free money that I would not have to earn and no, I don't want free money, too, in addition to working because there would still be that part of the money I would not be earning. As the conservative in the debate that is for UBI and the progressive against, was debating for UBI with having to pay for health care costs out of the UBI. How much do you think it would abolish poverty if everyone had to pay their health care costs out of it? I know Yang says he is for Medicare for all, too, but there is no way the House and the Senate will pass UBI AND Medicare for all and keep existing social programs but I don't even believe they would pass both UBI AND M4A even with eliminating existing social programs.

  1994. 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

  2061. 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.

  2128.  @jonasjones8828  Bernie's record on policies debunks he is not a commie including his voting record and I did point some of that out as well as debunked some of your other crap. You only pay attention to cherry picking the parts of a conversation you want to try to prove your points while ignoring the parts of the conversation that debunks your crap. I am voting for Bernie for his record which includes his voting record on the policies I agree with not for who he endorsed in the last general. According to you Canada is a communistic country since they have policies similar as Bernie wants. No wonder so many of them laugh at people that think like you and indeed many Canadians, Australians, are laughing at you and others like you that think Bernie is a communist because they know Bernie wants similar policies as they have that are not communistic policies. Bernie's voting record shows exactly what he is shows he is NOT evil. POINT out the actual vote on anything to show he's evil if you think you can. Here I will help you by putting some of his record here for you...... 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! And there is NOTHING there to show Bernie is evil.

Are you for violence against women? Or for assault weapons? Or both?

  2166.  J. Muller  LOL 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.

  2277. 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 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 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. 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “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! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html 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 Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  2280. 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!

  2349. What is your definition of a failure? Someone that their businesses failed where they had to declare bankruptcy several times is one of my definitions and that would be Trump! All of the politicians get paid or are you suggesting Bernie is the only one that shouldn't? As for Bernie here is my list of some of his successes........ 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 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 sucessful in working with people across the Isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHvg32d8l9o

  2350.  @none6936  You are a liar to say Bernie didn't mention the importance of keeping Trump from being elected! That is just about all Bernie said many times after Hillary won the nomination that Trump was a pathological liar, we have to make sure he don't get elected, etc. etc. As he went all over the country trying to get people to vote for her! Bernie encouraged his supporters to vote for Hillary but he can't make anyone do anything he says! Do you not know that? According to polls all but 12 percent of Bernie's supporters voting for Hillary. Have you bothered to check to see how many Hillary supporters voted for Obama after Hillary lost? I didn't think so! But I don't mind saying I am one of the few Bernie supporters that did not vote for Hillary! I am a Independent and I don't vote party I vote person. I didn't vote for Trump, either. I vote for who comes closest to how I am on issues regardless of who you, Bernie, or anyone else tries to tell me who to vote for! I don't vote out of fear, either. Bernie got bashed heavily by some of his supporters for his support to Hillary. Some have never forgave him. I do because I agree with him on issues that he has fought his entire political life for. Just to be clear it was not because I thought Hillary cheated Bernie why I didn't vote for her! IT IS BECAUSE OF HER RECORD FOR FRACKING, ENDLESS WARS, TAKING CORP MONEY, BEING FOR THE TPP (even though she flipped during the primary just because Bernie was against it), AND SHE WAS AGAINST MEDICARE FOR ALL. Now, you got that? It was because of issues why I didn't vote for her, period. Bernie/Tulsi2020

I read a heck of a lot more than you think I do! Feel free to post Pete's record on why you are voting for him....I don't go by words unless there is a record including a voting record to back up what a candidate campaigns on so after you read this you can tell me again what i don't read LOL And stupidity is the voter that votes for someone that has no record to prove they would do anything they say they will.

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. https://mashable.com/article/amazon-raising-minimum-wage-15/ Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd65h7h5HGI

  2416. MLK was also for a FJG and I doubt seriously he would have people on welfare assistance choose between that and UBI. And please don't make excuses for Yang making them choose because if someone on welfare CHOSE to give it up instead of getting both UBI and welfare assistance then that would be their choice to make. And Nixon's version of UBI had a WORK REQUIREMENT with it and only for couples with children so that's not the same version as Yang's, either. I do disagree with Yang not being for raising the min wage and Yang is wishy washy on Medicare for all as well as considering his flip flops who knows what his final version would be. I don't believe the facts support UBI being the best solution...... 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.

  2443.  @happios  Hogwash! Every citizen has the opportunity to speak out against policies that are bad for his country! Bernie was not a politician when he was marching in protests and other protests! I trust the over 200 economists that are for raising the fed min wage to $15 and the over 200 economists for BERNIE'S Medicare for all Bil and the 144 references and others I quoted more than I do your opinions. As for Yang's fear mongering on automation that is here but not here like Yang makes it out to be.... 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."

  2460.  @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!

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.

  2510.  Toad Tea  Just like I said of all the candidates! Some of them don't have voting records so then there is only the policies to go by but if they take corp donations then that's a no vote from me regardless! PETE "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ AMY KLOBUCHAR "Former Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

He's planning a event for Joe Biden this fall." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cjmWpYsMM 2020 Democrats "Cozy Up" To Wall Street 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. He supports tuition-free public college for up to four years. He doesn't support the Green New Deal. He doesn't support the legalization of cannabis. 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!!

  2567.  @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

  2592. 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.

  2616.  @Erich2142  You obviously have no idea what you are talking about! He was for gay rights, gay marriage, before any of the other politicians were. 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 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

  2663.  @bassranger1054  Trump fell in love with a dictator! 'He wrote me beautiful letters and we fell in love': Donald Trump on Kim Jong-un You taking Bernie's words out of context doesn't make your opinions true!! If you really care and want to know who is trying to take our freedoms away take a look at the politicians in BOTH parties that voted FOR THE PATRIOT ACT!! Now, voting is PROVABLE facts! And you can also take a look at who voted against it!! Name one bill that Bernie voted for that would take our freedoms away?? Bernie has been more for our freedoms than most of the others. To answer your question on what Bernie has done and please don't say it's too long because after all you asked!! 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. 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 years, 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. Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing 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.

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 NONE of that has anything to do with communism!! You might also want to take a look at who is actually taking land away and that is not Bernie, either!!

  2675.  @RxR  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!

  2784. You are a senior you should be the first to know that Bernie has been a HUGE voice against Social Security cuts (as well as wanting to expand Social Security). I sure haven't forgotten when Obama was pushing Social Security cuts with just about every Corp Dem behind the cuts if not every Corp Dem and Bernie was one of the very few making everyone aware and speaking out against the cuts not just then but for many years. He is known as the Amendment King so he has achieved that as well as been a voice for the middle class, poor, veterans, all races. Bernie took a car load of people across the boarder to get their prescription drugs that they otherwise could not had afforded. And yes, Bernie is very popular wanting Medicare for all unless you think Seniors on Medicare are the only ones that should get medical care. There is a lot more Bernie has achieved and you can learn more about that while listening to his speakers at his rallies but I focused on Social Security in my comments to you about him because I would think that would be a major issue for you to be behind him on as well as the other issues if you agreed with them. Warren was all over the place with her answer about Medicare for all, she didn't support Bernie in the last primary that if she was really progressive she would had done and she was totally silent while peaceful Natives were being brutalized. Bernie was speaking out against it. And Warren has said she would take Corp money if she was running in the general election which means she would be beholding to them. No, Warren does not have my vote!! Bernie/Tulsi 2020

  2793.  @quatreraberbawinner2628  Details In the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, everyone who can work in America should have the right to a decent-paying job. We can and should have a full-employment economy. In 1944, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt talked about the right of every American to have a job. That was true then. It is true today. A job guarantee will lower the crime rate, improve mental health, and create a stronger sense of community. It will create a much healthier and happier America. A full-employment economy is not a radical idea. That means: As part of the Green New Deal, we need millions of workers to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure—roads, bridges, drinking water systems, wastewater plants, rail, schools, affordable housing—and build our 100% sustainable energy system. This infrastructure is critical to a thriving, green economy. At a time when our early childhood education system is totally inadequate, we need hundreds of thousands of workers to provide quality care to the young children of our country. As the nation ages, we will need many more workers to provide supportive services for seniors to help them age in their homes and communities, which is where they want to be. https://berniesanders.com/issues/jobs-for-all/ 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 which includes a Federal Jobs Guarantee that is not mandatory but for those that want the job!

  2820. A lot of people do not think UBI would work better! If you care enough to watch a good debate (which by the way a Yang supporter gave me this link) here is a link to it..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFVr7Ku0KQk&feature=youtu.be Funny, the progressive is against UBI and the conservative (some think he is a Libertarian) is for UBI. 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. You really want to trust someone that comes out of nowhere to pass UBI where it doesn't do more harm than good? I do NOT!! And now, that he has changed his policies (again LOL) saying he would give UBI on top of Social Security as well as to everyone else if he really intends to do that according to Mr. Bernstein "...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." Of course Yang shouldn't had excluded seniors and veterans on Social Security before he changed it but it doesn't make me for UBI just because he includes them now. To do UBI the way Yang started out with before he saw too many people were not supporting that where he needed to make it where he could get more votes LOL would be a very conservative plan that 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. What if that is Yang's real intention to do away with social programs? He has no political record where we can judge his real intentions or if he would do what he says! You want to take that chance to trust him to be able to do everything he is saying without causing more harm than good then you should at least make yourself aware of the debate on both sides! UBI is not one definite plan to definitely judge exactly what will end up being proposed. 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. Other points: Alaska's dividend has to do with oil in the ground. UBI, as Yang is talking about, comes from taxes so I don't see how he can use Alaska for an example anyways! https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/universal-basic-income-experiments-fail/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcoannunziata/2018/07/27/universal-basic-income-a-universally-bad-idea/#7e69b97b3269 https://fee.org/articles/andrew-yang-s-math-doesn-t-add-up-on-universal-basic-income/ https://www.ft.com/content/100137b4-0cdf-11e8-bacb-2958fde95e5e https://www.carthrottle.com/post/we3yp99/ 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://benjaminstudebaker.com/2019/03/20/andrew-yangs-basic-income-is-stealth-welfare-reform/ https://mises.org/wire/scaremongers-are-wrong-about-robots-and-ai YANG ON CUTTING JOBS....... He plans on cutting 15%-20% of the federal workforce. We shouldn't want to help some people at the expense of hurting others! And if he would cut these jobs how many more jobs would he cut? https://www.yang2020.com/policies/downsizing-federal-workforce/ He wants to pay you $12,000 to replace all of the higher paying jobs. He is all about job loss! That is obvious by him wanting to cut the federal work force and the other jobs that he is pushing for automation to replace instead of trying to create jobs! Some people do still want to work! YANG ON VAT TAX......... Yang supports UBI paid for thru a VAT (value added tax) This was at Yang's website but looks like he took it down? Doesn't matter there is enough evidence to show the real problems with it. "PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Corporations move money around to avoid paying their fair share of taxes The burden of paying for social services falls disproportionately on those who earn the least The Freedom Dividend should be funded by those who benefit most from the structure and work of society" https://www.moneycrashers.com/whats-is-your-opinion-about-a-value-added-tax/ https://pjmedia.com/trending/the-5-big-problems-with-andrew-yangs-1000-a-month-universal-basic-income-proposal/ 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! "Fighting to protect American jobs from the onslaught of automation. Some jobs will be automated of course, but we cannot allow entire work forces to be eliminated. Call me crazy, but I value humans. Have you not seen every science fiction story ever? Letting the robots take over DOES NOT END WELL." https://www.gleib2020.com/issues-2 Mike Gravel Interview: Democratic Establishment Strikes Back; How People Take Back Power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2x1gUe1ok4 Approx 46:35 into the video Mike says, He disagrees with Yang passing out a $1.000 a month.

  2829. You really think a thousand bucks a month would pay for health care in addition to all the other household bills? 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.

  2831.  @georgejenkens9959  You wrote, "Who cares about Trump's. The American people want to know what Bernie is hiding." That is exactly why I left one party years ago and no didn't go to the other major party I went Independent because I got tired of one party throwing stones at the other party for what is going on within their own party, too! Anyone that wants to know about one politician while ignoring the same thing in another especially the President is so full of hypocrisy that nothing else they would ever say would be creditable IMO. Bernie should release his taxes but if he is going to be the only one that is pressured to release them while ignoring any of the others then if I was Bernie I would say just as soon as the rest of them release theirs. Some of you people are so full of hate for Bernie's policies and all he has fought for his entire political life that you would no doubt make up anything, take anything out context, bash anything regardless of what it is while it wouldn't matter to you what anyone else did if they were in the same party as you are! Bernie has one of the most squeaky clean records compared to any of them, he has spoke out against injustices in both parties while most everyone else was silent, he has helped other people not wanting any attention or recognition for it, while other politicians in both parties only care about what they can do for their rich donors! And this thing about 3 houses that so many want to bash Bernie for when he has the least of most politicians, his wife inherited a home from her family and they sold it to buy that 3rd house so technically it's her house not his. I don't agree with Bernie on everything but he sure comes closer than any of the rest of them. If you disagree with him on issues that's one thing but to hold him to a different standard than the others that just shows what you care about most and it's not issues.

  2839.  @tysonm3863  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.

  2840.  @tysonm3863  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. To add even MORE hypocrisy I actually read Yang supporters posting comments to go "spam" all of Bernie's live streams and comments posting about Yang and 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 spamming 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.

  2848.  @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! 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders "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! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/bernard-sanders/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/ https://vetsforbernie.org/2019/04/bernie-sanders-only-candidate-to-vote-against-all-3-trump-military-budgets/

Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning.

  2856. From the polling information Biden voters want to go back to the days of Obama and want a calm president LOL That sure debunks all of the alleged Bernie supporters and others that have bashed Bernie for not attacking harder! I tried to tell some of them when I talk to Biden supporters if I start to say Biden's corrupt or a liar or that Bernie shouldn't call him his friend they will tell me to get lost LOL but when I talk policy differences they would listen but most still didn't care. Nina went all over South Carolina for MONTHS and if they didn't listen to her so not sure why you think they would listen to Bernie if he had gone on the attack some of you wanted. They also love Obama and don't seem to care he didn't deliver on all of that change! Biden was his VP so he's the man. So, you can stop saying Bernie's weak as thinking that's a reason he is losing now! Bernie is not weak on his policies where it matters and his consistent record on those policies is why I voted for him! Bernie did attack hard on Social Security, exposed Biden's record on trying to cut it but who to you think most Floridians said they trust on Social Security? Biden! That also debunks those of you that think it would had mattered if Bernie hit harder and I think Bernie's data is right on 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 There is nothing Bernie could had done to get those older Biden supporters and we know Bernie won with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states so they see Bernie as a strong fighter for them. I do think if Biden voters didn't have Medicare or if someone in their family died because of not having the money for healthcare maybe they would rather have Bernie's Medicare for all then a calm Biden! If you are for Bernie's policies and think you can do better run for office and take those daily pressures AOC was talking about and from the news media, fight numerous lies against you and we will see how well you do!

  2865.  @mt-zf6xp  If you are talking about finding a room mate? Not everyone wants to live with someone else. Like the old saying no home is made for two families! I know there are exceptions to that but most of the time people want their own space! There is no argument you are going to give me to make me be for yang's UBI. First off, like I said he has no record to show he would do anything he says! Second, he has flip flopped enough no one can know for sure what his final positions will be and third if that's not good enough then let me through some facts your way about his UBI.... 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! "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 what he believes 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 supporter 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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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. 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 And it doesn't help any that Yang wants Assange to stand trial. Just that would make me not vote for him but there is all of the rest, too!

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."

  2949.  @zjaeriqsanders1731  Yang has over 100+ policies and has flipped at times, removing some of what has been at his website. Sure, he has clearly thought out policies until he changes them LOL The only thing he is doing is trying to buy the presidency. 16:15 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..." I don't agree with Richard Wolff on all of his views but on that point, I do. Mike Gravel Interview: Democratic Establishment Strikes Back; How People Take Back Power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2x1gUe1ok4 Approx 46:35 into the video Mike says, He disagrees with Yang passing out a $1.000 a month. Alaska's dividend has to do with oil in the ground. UBI, as Yang is talking about, comes from taxes so I don't see how he can use Alaska for an example anyways! https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/universal-basic-income-experiments-fail/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcoannunziata/2018/07/27/universal-basic-income-a-universally-bad-idea/#7e69b97b3269 https://fee.org/articles/andrew-yang-s-math-doesn-t-add-up-on-universal-basic-income/ https://www.ft.com/content/100137b4-0cdf-11e8-bacb-2958fde95e5e YANG ON CUTTING JOBS....... He plans on cutting 15%-20% of the federal workforce. We shouldn't want to help some people at the expense of hurting others! And if he would cut these jobs how many more jobs would he cut? https://www.yang2020.com/policies/downsizing-federal-workforce/ He wants to pay you $12,000 to replace all of the higher paying jobs. He is all about job loss! That is obvious by him wanting to cut the federal work force and the other jobs that he is pushing for automation to replace instead of trying to create jobs! Some people do still want to work! YANG ON VAT TAX......... Yang supports UBI paid for thru a VAT (value added tax) This was at Yang's website but looks like he took it down? Doesn't matter there is enough evidence to show the real problems with it. "PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Corporations move money around to avoid paying their fair share of taxes The burden of paying for social services falls disproportionately on those who earn the least The Freedom Dividend should be funded by those who benefit most from the structure and work of society" 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/ https://pjmedia.com/trending/the-5-big-problems-with-andrew-yangs-1000-a-month-universal-basic-income-proposal/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/andrew-yang-has-a-great-idea-with-a-terrible-plan 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. Fighting to protect American jobs from the onslaught of automation. Some jobs will be automated of course, but we cannot allow entire work forces to be eliminated. Call me crazy, but I value humans. Have you not seen every science fiction story ever? Letting the robots take over DOES NOT END WELL. https://www.gleib2020.com/issues-2

  2965.  @IWLDELJ  you have absolutely NO proof that Bernie's policies would do what you are spouting off! Canada didn't get more poverty because of Universal Healthcare and neither did Australia or any other of the industrialized counties! Who are you trying to fool? Yes, it's hate to know people are dying because they don't have the money for healthcare while you spout off opinions on what you think would happen if we have universal healthcare here! I have done research and we are below the other countries I mentioned and many other countries in rank on healthcare. I know many doctors are for Medicare for all and I also know over 200 economists support BERNIE'S Medicare for all Bill. I trust them on what it would do to this economy as well as the reports that show we are spending more on healthcare NOW than we would with Medicare for all. I think you are the one that needs to do some research! All the money we spend on endless wars, huge subsidies for major corps that pay zero in fed taxes. I have a news flash for you BOTH sides spend so it's a matter of where your priorities are where you want it spent. You are showing where yours is and speaking of poverty you must be blind as a bat to not know the middle class is disappearing while the rich have got richer many of them off the backs of working people they pay slave wages to. No, you don't care about poverty, people dying due to not having the money for healthcare or all of the jobs that have been out sourced! Keep on supporting corp socialism! That is obviously what you care about.

He does have to work with them to try to get progressive policies but you rather everyone hate Bernie even more where he could never work with them to get anything passed for us? Bernie did call out their corp donors! And has for decades. Where have you been? Bernie did mention something to Warren about she was lying but I suppose YOU rather he slap her in the face, too? Bernie had backbone enough to not take corp donations while most of the others have. Backbone enough to risk his political career at a time when the majority of politicians AND Americans were against gay marriage by him being for it. Backbone enough to condemn those that were brutalizing peaceful Native Americans while most all the other politicians were silent. Backbone enough to vote against bills that took some of our freedoms away while most on both sides voted for it. Backbone enough to go up against Obama's proposed Social Security cuts starting a movement that helped stop it when most all the Dems wanted to cut them, too. Backbone enough to stand against a war most all the others wanted, backbone enough to participate in other protests while YOU have had the backbone to do exactly what???? Other than run your mouth! Not to mention he had the backbone to participate in peaceful protesting that got him arrested! Sounds like you listen too much to divisive hypocrites! You should run for office if you aren't too spineless to so we can see how much you can accomplish.

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!

  3034. I understand Bernie is trying to make the Dem party a party of the people again I get that but I don't get it how Bernie thinks he can make Hillary move/stay left and even if she said the same things he does how he can believe her? Hillary's RECORD speaks for itself she is FOR fracking, endless wars, super pacs, bad trade deals and has so many flip flops depending on whichever way the establishment winds blow add to that the huge amount of money coming from REPUBLICAN top donors until it makes no sense that Bernie would believe anything she says! Then the biggest thing of all to me is how he can say he would vote for her or anyone that has risked National Security that is under a FBI investigation? He doesn't talk like he is still trying to be President and considering the election fraud and the possible indictments you would think he would just reserve any comments about Hillary until it's all finished. I am still a Bernie supporter all the way and I know there will never be a perfect candidate that does and says all the things we want them to but because he has a consistent record of being for most of the same issues I am I remain Bernie or Bust. NEVER Hillary and I don't vote out of fear. http://trustvote.org/ video "Protecting Our Elections" shows PROOF BERNIE WON! They have shorter videos there, too, but the longer video "Protecting Our Elections" shows all the evidence, experts, etc. they have for this YUGE case. YUGE NEWS This is unlike any election fraud case I've heard of as they spent a lot of time putting this case together with a lot of evidence from a lot of states! Even if you need to watch the video a little at a time it's well worth watching.

  3084. PheeneZ ...Bernie has more guts than most Dems do! He has not changed on issues. He is still fighting for the same ones so he is one strong man in that regard but yes totally disappointed that he endorsed Hillary! I won't over look his strong points because of that but neither will I support any Corp politician. Trump does have a history of flip flopping. I hope he does keep his promises but we already know for sure he is backing down on having Hillary prosecuted. I read he is going back on his promise of no Social Security and Medicare cuts. I hope that's wrong and that he keeps his promises. I do think the Millions of protesters should had also been condemning Obama for allowing innocent people killed by drones, continued wars, not stopping fracking, pushing the grand bargain that would had cut social security so I think it's very hypocritical for anyone to condemn one party without condemning the other party when they are doing the same thing! Many in both parties are taking our freedoms away. Patriot Act as just one example while people are too asleep to realize Bernie voted against that as he is one of the few that fights for our freedoms, too! Why aren't all these people protesting all the bad things Corp Dems are doing? protesting the police that are brutalizing peaceful Natives? And the woman with the sign about putting women in the House and Senate. Well, man or woman I don't want any corp politicians. It should be who stands up for everyone, not just getting women elected and I am a woman!

  3127.  @illphil6627  Nothing false about it! It's exactly what Yang said his intentions are but he just "wouldn't do it all at once". 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." 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

  3128. From the polling information Biden voters want to go back to the days of Obama and want a calm president LOL That sure debunks all of the alleged Bernie supporters and others that have bashed Bernie for not attacking harder! I tried to tell some of them when I talk to Biden supporters if I start to say Biden's corrupt or a liar or that Bernie shouldn't call him his friend they will tell me to get lost LOL but when I talk policy differences they would listen but most still didn't care. Nina went all over South Carolina for MONTHS and if they didn't listen to her so not sure why you think they would listen to Bernie if he had gone on the attack some of you wanted. They also love Obama and don't seem to care he didn't deliver on all of that change! Biden was his VP so he's the man. So, you can stop saying Bernie's weak as thinking that's a reason he is losing now! Bernie is not weak on his policies where it matters and his consistent record on those policies is why I voted for him! Bernie did attack hard on Social Security, exposed Biden's record on trying to cut it but who to you think most Floridians said they trust on Social Security? Biden! That also debunks those of you that think it would had mattered if Bernie hit harder and I think Bernie's data is right on 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 There is nothing Bernie could had done to get those older Biden supporters and we know Bernie won with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states so they see Bernie as a strong fighter for them. I do think if Biden voters didn't have Medicare or if someone in their family died because of not having the money for healthcare maybe they would rather have Bernie's Medicare for all then a calm Biden! If you are for Bernie's policies and think you can do better run for office and take those daily pressures for decades AOC was talking about and from the news media, fight numerous lies against you and we will see how well you do! #NeverBiden #NeverTrump #OnlyBernie

  3131.  @jameshumphrey9939  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.

  3138. Tim P I do NOT believe you for a second you ever supported him because if you had you would do his accomplishments are a lot more than what you named! 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 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 sucessful in working with people across the Isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHvg32d8l9o

  3191.  @sb-wt6qu  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.

  3231.  @xanbex8324  I go by someone's record but here let me give you just a little research! Unless you think Bernie standing up for gay rights risking his political career when most politicians and most Americans were against it was just talk? Or when Bernie got arrested protesting for civil rights that was just talk, too? Maybe when he was standing with union workers protesting in behalf of them you think that was all talk? Or when Bernie started a movement to help stop Obama's proposed Social Security cuts that most Dems were for was just Bernie being a good talker? When Bernie was protesting with Native Americans for their rights and speaking out against peaceful Native Americans that were being brutalized was only talking, too? I guess it was just talk when Bernie exposed Biden on National TV as a liar! All the times Bernie voted against what most in both parties voted for that took a vote, too, not just a good talk! Bernie just talked about not taking Corp donations or was that more than just a good talk? But Bernie should just be able to pass bills by his self, right? I just betcha you don't know times Bernie got bills passed when he did it in such a manner that he would not get the credit in order to get them passed. Now exactly what have you done other than just talk? And what specifically has Ralph Nadar done? Other than just talk? I am not saying he hasn't done anything but doubt he comes close to having the record Bernie does. Running as an Independent didn't help him too much, either, now did it?

  3273. 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."

  3315.  @hollyweirdland940  From the polling information Biden voters want to go back to the days of Obama and want a calm president LOL That sure debunks all of the alleged Bernie supporters and others that have bashed Bernie for not attacking harder! I tried to tell some of them when I talk to Biden supporters if I start to say Biden's corrupt or a liar or that Bernie shouldn't call him his friend they will tell me to get lost LOL but when I talk policy differences they would listen but most still didn't care. Nina went all over South Carolina for MONTHS and if they didn't listen to her so not sure why you think they would listen to Bernie if he had gone on the attack some of you wanted. They also love Obama and don't seem to care he didn't deliver on all of that change! Biden was his VP so he's the man. So, you can stop saying Bernie's weak as thinking that's a reason he is losing now! Bernie is not weak on his policies where it matters and his consistent record on those policies is why I voted for him! Bernie did attack hard on Social Security, exposed Biden's record on trying to cut it but who to you think most Floridians said they trust on Social Security? Biden! That also debunks those of you that think it would had mattered if Bernie hit harder and I think Bernie's data is right on 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 There is nothing Bernie could had done to get those older Biden supporters and we know Bernie won with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states so they see Bernie as a strong fighter for them. I do think if Biden voters didn't have Medicare or if someone in their family died because of not having the money for healthcare maybe they would rather have Bernie's Medicare for all then a calm Biden! If you are for Bernie's policies and think you can do better run for office and take those daily pressures AOC was talking about and from the news media, fight numerous lies against you and we will see how well you do!

  3322.  @sewme7861  Bernie's record defends it self on the issues he is for/against. Nothing is deceptive about his record. And Tulsi would not had stepped down from her position to support Bernie in the last primary if she didn't hold similar beliefs to Bernie. IMO she is running now to bring more focus to the wars while Bernie is more focused on the problems here but both are similar on both. As far as Hillary (I didn't vote for her or Trump, I went 3rd party in the general) Bernie was heavily criticized for not supporting her more than others criticized him for supporting her at all. It was a can't win situation for Bernie. He did sign off on supporting the nominee and I sure won't fault him for thinking Trump is worse! Too many people agree with that even though I didn't. I cant' expect Bernie do do everything the way I want and he is not perfect. None are. I think some people either didn't follow VP Gore or has amnesia! Back when VP Gore had them do recounts he was HEAVILY CRITICIZED for it and a lot of that came from HIS OWN SUPPORTERS so he stopped the recounts. Then in recent years we learn he actually won but have we heard a peep out of VP Gore about that and how they stole it from him? No! Bernie is not the one that should had brought attention to all of that in the last primary. OTHERS SHOULD HAD AND OTHERS DID!! He has spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. even before it was popular to fight for them on some issues and before Tulsi started being the same on some of those issues. He is still fighting for those same issues. He didn't buy my vote he earned it. But if you think there is another candidate that is better then that is who you should vote for.

  3363.  @loulfw2513  Refusing to force a vote when you know there isn't enough votes to pass a bill is NOT the same as voting against a bill. I can't say it enough Jimmy Dore is a divisive hypocrite! Hypocrite as in different standards for different candidates! He was not even for the ONLY candidate that was actually for Medicare for all. Not Medicare for some or Medicare for those that want it. But now suddenly Jimmy Dore is for Medicare for all after he helped the only one for it to not win the primary! And he most certainly did help Bernie to lose with his constant bashing of Bernie. I read many comments from his followers repeating what Jimmy would say as a reason to not vote for Bernie. The day he said he hoped Bernie loses is the day I stopped listening to him. Yes, I did listen to him for many months and was already getting tired of his hypocritical rants but when he said he hoped Bernie loses that was the LAST straw for me as far as listening to him. IMO he is just as bad as the major news media. Just as divisive!! As long as Bernie is fighting for policies we need then I support him! But I really wish he would go home and spend whatever time he has left with his family and stop fighting for those progressive bills we need with all of that criticism he gets. He can't win no matter what he does or what he doesn't do there are people that are going to hate on him. As far as him losing credibility if you look at his likes VS dislikes (not on Dore's page) you will know that is not likely to happen. He raised a lot of money in his state and all of it went to charity. Most people will look at what someone does good and not pick them apart for every mistake they make as long as they keep fighting for policies we need and votes for bills that help us and against bills such as the Patriot Act, against cutting Social Security, against more wars, etc. That is what matters most to me.

  3384.  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, 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.

  3433. Considering Warren's record before she started running for president not sure why they would be afraid of 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.

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.

  3539. 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!

  3674. Over all she's not more anti wars than Bernie is! That said, I know Bernie is not perfect, either. Both of them are more perfect than the other candidates except for Mike Gravel. 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders "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! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/bernard-sanders/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/ https://vetsforbernie.org/2019/04/bernie-sanders-only-candidate-to-vote-against-all-3-trump-military-budgets/

  3685.  @brandondillon1083  Wow, you really are brainwashed by Jimmy Dore OR haven't been paying close attention! It was the first primary that Bernie ran in that Jimmy supported him. After that primary for YEARS Jimmy Dore hated on Bernie with multiple hateful rages towards Bernie for not running as a Independent. I heard it until I got sick of it and stopped listening to him. Many months BEFORE Tulsi dropped out Jimmy Dore interviewed Tulsi where she said the SAME as Bernie that she would NOT run as a Independent and that she was wanting to change the Dem party. Dore didn't bash her at all and kept supporting her. No hate for Tulsi that she also didn't do what Dore hated Bernie for. Dore also bashed Bernie too death for saying he would support the nominee AND for saying anything good about Biden (even though Bernie was calling Biden out on policy differences!!) when low and behold what did Tulsi do when she dropped out?? Which was BEFORE Bernie dropped out Tulsi not only endorsed Biden but had some really lovely things to say about Biden. Bernie has NOT fallen in line until he accepts corp donations, votes for more wars, stops wanting Medicare for All, no longer tries to get higher wages, etc. Most people would not go up against what Bernie has for half the time he has while they sit back and criticize him for not doing everything the way they want him to! If Bernie went all out war with them like some people want him to he wouldn't get them to pass anything for progressives and not only that but if he had that kind of hate that jimmy has and others want Bernie to have then Bernie probably wouldn't care about people that way he does. Bernie is not a god, he is not perfect although he is more perfect than most of the others and he can not pass bills by his self. I hold Jimmy Dore just as responsible as I do the major news network that we don't have a progressive president. Progressives are really divided in case you don't know it and Jimmy Dore has help cause the division.

  3709. And Bernie's record, including is VOTING record proves he is not corrupted and not selfish! 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!

  3710. You also lose primaries by being divisive! If you don't know a lot of people agree with that to vote for any of the Dems over Trump you aren't listening or reading! Tulsi has said the same thing about trying to change the Dem party even with her knowing what happened in the last primary but Jimmy don't go off on her for that. If you are for Bernie's policies you are just cutting off your noses to spite your faces and shooting yourself in the foot to keep on with endless rants about what happened in the last primary. If we lose this time I will blame it on everyone that was so divisive instead of trying to unite around the issues that Bernie is for that we need passed in this country. If Bernie hadn't supported the nominee in the last primary like he said he would his political career would had been over and you are just plain stupid if you think Bernie was going to do a Nader or campaign for Trump LOL Bernie really believes Trump is worse as do a lot of Americans even the ones that will vote for a progressive in the primary is going to vote for whoever the nominee is. Sure not everyone. I know I won't and I've taken the bashing for voting 3rd party in the last general but that doesn't mean I don't understand why Bernie did what he did. I do! Bernie got bashed for not supporting Hillary more and he gets bashed that he supported her at all. He can't win no matter what he does. He gets criticized by the establishment (which is understandable) and by the major news media and Republicans and also progressives. I'm sick of it. If someone is not for Bernie's policies I totally understand they will go off on him. I am voting for Bernie for the issues and policies he is for that he has been fighting for for decades and still fighting for! Not because of who he endorsed in the last primary. Even Mike Gravel said Bernie shouldn't go on the attack anymore than he is now with pointing out the issues that are different with him and the other candidates.

  3713.  @dogworldonline1189  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.

  3717.  @marvinstutzman432  How convenient to leave out the REST of what Bernie said. You know the part about our costs being LESS than what we are paying now! Why are you lying? If you are not for Bernie's M4A okay, but there is no way you are for healthcare for all people if you are not for his M4A bill because that is the only way to get everyone covered with a cost everyone can afford and being able to choose their doctor, hospital, and clinics! You do know there are doctors that support Bernie's Medicare for all bill! Nurses United! Over 200 economists that support HIS bill! Wait time? What is the wait time for people that don't have the money to go get healthcare? Why don't you argue that point with the guy on Rational National, a Canadian that debunks people that use wait times as a reason to not support M4A. I know people in other countries, too, and if it's so bad how is it our healthcare system ranks below theirs? Some of our veterans also debunk their healthcare not being good! And you do know that Bernie Tops 2020 Field & Trump In Military Member Donations ! I don't think that would be if it was as bad for Veterans as you are saying! Bernie's record proves he is NOT what you say! 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

  3737.  @13bustah  Is the reason you spread lies is because you are that afraid of Bernie's policies? Bernie is not a commie, Trump is! Trump writing love letters to dictators.... 'He wrote me beautiful letters and we fell in love': Donald Trump on Kim Jong-un https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV6mVmAVQU4 Trump praises Kim Jong Un North Korea as 'very honorable' https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/24/trump-praise-kim-jong-un-547610 Bernie was condemning the illegal Military Coup against Evo Morales Trump is the one cozing up to Communist around the world. "We're VERY opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba" Bernie Sanders "And we condemned that" Bernie Sanders "Unlike Donald Trump lets be clear I do NOT think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend. I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Putin not a great friend of mine!" Bernie Sanders on 60 Minutes. 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 the one cozying up to Communist around the world. Not Bernie Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump!

"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

  3790. What other candidate has been fighting for climate change and everyone's rights for decades? Even before some of them were politically popular! What other candidate has stood for years (not just when running for president) with workers on picket lines? Which one took people to Canada to buy meds they could not afford here? Which candidate had the guts to speak out against peaceful Native Americans that were brutalized at Standing Rock? Yes, one other Dem did, Tulsi. What other candidate stood up and declared boldly that they were against Obama's Grand Bargain that had proposed Social Security cuts that would also had affected Veterans that are on Social Security and Veterans benefits? Which candidates were speaking out for raising the min wage, for Medicare for all, BEFORE running for president and fighting against NAFTA AND THE TPP? Which candidate voted the least for Military Budget increases? What other candidates do NOT take corp donations in any form including that would not take corp donations in the general? Which candidates have been consistent for the same issues for decades where you know they won't go back on their campaign promises? Which candidates voted against the Patriot Act that took some of our freedoms away? Bernie2020 has EARNED my vote NOT bought it! Don't tell me to vote for any candidate that didn't have the same issues BEFORE they started running for president as they do now! Or if they flip flop while they are running for president It's the consistent record that tells me they won't go back on their campaign promises. The only candidate that has that consistent record of fighting for all of us for decades even before it was politically popular to fight for certain issues is Bernie Sanders! He is the one that voted against the Patriot Act that has taken some of our freedoms away, voted against bad trade deals that has taken jobs away, spoken out against Social Security cuts that would take some of our seniors and veterans incomes away and speaking out against the insurance companies that would take our health away! Wants to end endless wars and so much more. He has earned my vote NOT bought it! No one comes out of nowhere and buys my vote. It has to be earned.

  3811. Telling me Yang's record is cleaner than Warren's tells me nothing! Yang doesn't have a record, and to be more specific in case you don't know what I am talking about a political record. With all of the important votes in the House and Senate that we do have records on for Warren, Bernie, and others, there is no way to know for SURE how Yang would had voted on any of them and that's just a FACT! He does also accept donations from Billionaires! No influence there, right? LOL Some Yang supporters from the beginning argued that Yang was also for the same M4A as Bernie when in fact Yang was NOT! He said he supports the "spirit' "label" of the bill but not the actual bill but yet he deceived people from the beginning into thinking he supported Medicare for all building up popularity for himself off of that and it's not Medicare for all if all don't have it! Yang also said there is no Medicare for all bill which is an out right lie! Yang has made changes in his policies since he first started running, been disingenuous, where no one can know for SURE he won't go back to his original positions or even something else totally new! I do not blindly trust any candidate like that. Bernie is polled overwhelmingly as the most trusted candidate on some of the issues. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. I will not vote for Yang in the primary nor would I vote for him in the general. $1,000 a month to buy the best insurance. That's really funny! LOL His policies are not better! 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..."

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.

  3860.  @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 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.

  3901. I think some people either didn't follow VP Gore or has amnesia! (Not saying you all are one of them). Back when VP Gore had them do recounts he was HEAVILY CRITICIZED for it and a lot of that came from HIS OWN SUPPORTERS so he stopped the recounts. Then in recent years we learn he actually won but have we heard a peep out of VP Gore about that and how they stole it from him? No! Gore would not have anything to lose to bring attention to our voting system needing overhauled! Bernie is not the one that should had brought attention to all of that in the last primary. OTHERS SHOULD HAD AND OTHERS DID!! He has spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. even before it was popular to fight for them on some issues and before Tulsi started being the same on some of those issues. He is still fighting for those same issues. He didn't buy my vote he earned it. But if you think there is another candidate that is more perfect that you agree with on issues then that is who you should vote for. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not his mistakes! IT BAFFLES ME that no one is talking about that! How Gore caved but it was a lot of his own supporters that was ridiculing him to stop the recounts as well as Republicans. I did not vote for Gore but I can't figure out why when he found out he definitely won why he didn't go on an all out crusade to change our voting system? It seems no one cares about that! What could the DNC do to Gore if he spoke out about this? At least Bernie said something about it. Gore has said nothing?

  3923. Tax people for health care (I agree with that because the taxes would be less than premiums, deductibles, etc.) tax to pay for free college tuition (don't agree with free tuition for kids that don't maintain good grades to show they are there because they really want to learn) tax more for property taxes (that I don't agree with) so taxing will just solve all of our problems? That I don't agree with. And I sure don't want to encourage oil production to keep on taking that where ever they can find it however they can get it. And if UBI ends up with doing away with other programs it might turn out less instead of more. I am a critical thinker. I think about everything LOL And speaking of thinking, I think the more technology we get the lazier it makes some people. We need a certain amount but not so much we end up sitting on the couch all the time playing games or watching TV when we are physically able to be doing something more useful at least some of that time. When I was a kid I was outside playing with friends. Not on a cell phone or playing video games. Again some of that is fine but it's not healthy to be doing that all the time. Having said that, Bernie has spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. even before fighting for some of those rights were popular so he has EARNED my vote! Someone coming along throwing money at me won't get my to change my vote BUT If Bernie thinks it's a good idea where he would know how and when to do it then I would be open minded to it.

  3942. From the polling information Biden voters want to go back to the days of Obama and want a calm president LOL That sure debunks all of the alleged Bernie supporters and others that have bashed Bernie for not attacking harder! I tried to tell some of them when I talk to Biden supporters if I start to say Biden's corrupt or a liar or that Bernie shouldn't call him his friend they will tell me to get lost LOL but when I talk policy differences they would listen but most still didn't care. Nina went all over South Carolina for MONTHS and if they didn't listen to her so not sure why you think they would listen to Bernie if he had gone on the attack some of you wanted. They also love Obama and don't seem to care he didn't deliver on all of that change! Biden was his VP so he's the man. So, you can stop saying Bernie's weak as thinking that's a reason he is losing now! Bernie is not weak on his policies where it matters and his consistent record on those policies is why I voted for him! Bernie did attack hard on Social Security, exposed Biden's record on trying to cut it but who to you think most Floridians said they trust on Social Security? Biden! That also debunks those of you that think it would had mattered if Bernie hit harder and I think Bernie's data is right on 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 There is nothing Bernie could had done to get those older Biden supporters and we know Bernie won with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states so they see Bernie as a strong fighter for them. I do think if Biden voters didn't have Medicare or if someone in their family died because of not having the money for healthcare maybe they would rather have Bernie's Medicare for all then a calm Biden! If you are for Bernie's policies and think you can do better run for office and take those daily pressures AOC was talking about and from the news media, fight numerous lies against you and we will see how well you do!

  3980. @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!

  3991.  @TIMEPPF  As Bernie has said for years, just lift the cap on Social Security and that solves that problem! Don't confuse what other establishment politicians has done with Social Security to think Bernie would do the same. Health care for all works in other countries so don't give me any hogwash that it can't here. I know people in other countries that would never move here because of how the health care here is now and they are happy with their health care there compared to here! I am not talking about the countries that Bernie does NOT mention when he talks about the ones he wants this country to model after. We've had some very good jobs with good insurance but was still costly with the premiums and deductibles but there is a lot of jobs that don't have good insurance and that is a fact! A lot of small business employers would love to have their employees covered through Medicare for all. People shouldn't have to worry when there are lay offs from jobs (though no fault of their own business slows down and there is lay offs) not having health coverage at all then! You don't know how much real world experience I have! But I am in the real world and I know exactly how it's affecting the middle class and exactly how corp welfare is affecting it, too. I already pointed out how you are so wrong where you think all the "free" stuff is going! I see you didn't even get that in your brain! Now, it's obvious where your priorities are so I am moving on. I just mainly wanted to correct your obviously ignorant comment on where you think all the free stuff goes.

  4003. 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! Trump impeachment: Evangelical Christian magazine founded by Billy Graham says president must be removed from office. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-impeachment-evangelicals-billy-graham-christianity-today-remove-latest-a9254391.html Former Republican DISMANTLES Republican Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzie0Uqbv8M And Judge Napolitano https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/judge-andrew-napolitano-trump-attacks-presidency

  4013. 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!

  4019.  @adayexpired6370  Your personal attacks against Bernie does nothing to help your cause! Anyone serious about voting for a candidate that would make the best president is going to look at their policies, at their VOTING record, if they have been consistent on the issues they are running on not personal attacks like you have done! Lets take a look at Yang's record..... 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!

  4063.  @CoachForsyth  You saying it is you doesn't mean crap to me! You could be a thief and a bully to everyone you know for all I know. I'm not holding who responsible? I don't agree with Bernie on everything but he comes closer to my views than any of the others do with the consistency and voting record that lets me know he won't go back on what he is campaigning on! I'm not arrogant, either! I am ok regardless of who wins but I care about people so I will use my freedom of speech to say who I think would be the best at passing policies that would help people and who I think won't pass the policies we need or that would even make things worse. I don't pretend to be smarter than anyone else, either. I just do a lot of research before I decide who I will vote for and if I thought I was so smart I sure wouldn't think I would need to do any research! Now, look who sounds so arrogant. You saying dems can not win without "your voting block" comes across very arrogant! You have shown absolutely no respect and I know I haven't given you any, either, because of your unfounded accusations. Bernie is not too old or too soft just because he hasn't done everything the way you think he should had. Tulsi is not perfect, either, and just remember Bernie was good enough for her to support him in the last primary with the same record then as he has now except he has done more since then such as passing the stop the war in Yemen Act and he pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. While he is not perfect his record is better than any of the rest of them. Of course Yang has no record so who knows what he will really do. Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! Nothing soft about Bernie when he stood up against the bank bail outs and against the Patriot Act that has taken some of our freedoms away. So find fault with him all you want but I don't throw someone under the bus just because they are not perfect as long as their voting record comes closest to the issues I most care about. I wish you no harm even though I think you are one mean bully! As for my nickname, youtube has my real name on file from my email address they have but I wonder if you are such a bully to all of the Yang and Tulsi supporters that don't have their real names showing? Ok, you can have the last word because I am done with your insults!

  4101. Bernie polls overwhelmingly higher as being the most trusted candidate on many of the issues. Does not take a genius to know why! Bernie Sanders SURGES into National lead in new Reuters/IPSOS poll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEe4Cxjn5mU 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 The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c And you thought any blue would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T4OZ_CsdO8 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..."

  4102.  @vashtanerata1799  Thanks. Since you care about research which everyone should here's some more you can go through if you want or not lol 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.

Dr. Steven Hail end of 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."

"His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s.

  4110. ​ @EinsamPibroch278  Bernie's voting record is good enough for me! He is not perfect but neither is Tulsi! 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. Of course Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders 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! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/bernard-sanders/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/ Jimmy Dore & David Doel Get Into HEATED Argument & YELL At Each Other Over Biden/Trump https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up1NoCId3x4 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. 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. Bernie is known as Amendment King. 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. Proof Bernie Is A BOSS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP194CAavys

  4168. ​ @waynefrench756  Really you want to go there? 1. Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center.... I really don't care he didn't follow through on this but still it was a broken promise! 2. Create a public "Contracts and Influence" database..... never done! 3.regulations to secure chemical plants are not as strong as he said he would do. 4. Eliminate all oil and gas tax loopholes and Close loopholes in the corporate tax deductibility of CEO pay.....we all known how that turned out. 5. Expand the child and dependent care credit......didn't happen! 6. Create a retirement savings tax credit for low incomes.........no again. 7. End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000 and don't think that happened, either? 8. End no-bid contracts above $25,000.... lets see did he do that? I don't bid for contracts but those that do I feel sure they would know! 9. Create a $60 billion bank to fund roads and bridges......I remember that broken promise well. 10. Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes and while that was a compromise, how well I remember that was something he definitely was going to do not compromise on it like he ended up doing. He could had just let them expire! 11. Lift the payroll tax cap on earnings above $250,000 and how well I remember his broken promise on this one!! And what did he do instead?? Pushed cutting Social Security with most of his Corp Dems behind that. Bernie was a powerful voice in stopping that!! I am going to stop there because you can research it out your own self instead of wanting other people to do it for you! There was more broken promises and compromises that ended up being as one Republican put it, Obama gave the Republicans got 70 percent of what they wanted!! Lets see did Obama campaign that he would give Republicans 70 percent of what they would ask for? If he had he would had never become President!

  4238.  @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.

  4250. From the polling information Biden voters want to go back to the days of Obama and want a calm president LOL That sure debunks all of the alleged Bernie supporters and others that have bashed Bernie for not attacking harder! I tried to tell some of them when I talk to Biden supporters if I start to say Biden's corrupt or a liar or that Bernie shouldn't call him his friend they will tell me to get lost LOL but when I talk policy differences they would listen but most still didn't care. Nina went all over South Carolina for MONTHS and if they didn't listen to her so not sure why you think they would listen to Bernie if he had gone on the attack some of you wanted. They also love Obama and don't seem to care he didn't deliver on all of that change! Biden was his VP so he's the man. So, you can stop saying Bernie's weak as thinking that's a reason he is losing now! Bernie is not weak on his policies where it matters and his consistent record on those policies is why I voted for him! Bernie did attack hard on Social Security, exposed Biden's record on trying to cut it but who to you think most Floridians said they trust on Social Security? Biden! That also debunks those of you that think it would had mattered if Bernie hit harder and I think Bernie's data is right on 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 There is nothing Bernie could had done to get those older Biden supporters and we know Bernie won with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states so they see Bernie as a strong fighter for them. I do think if Biden voters didn't have Medicare or if someone in their family died because of not having the money for healthcare maybe they would rather have Bernie's Medicare for all then a calm Biden! If you are for Bernie's policies and think you can do better run for office and take those daily pressures AOC was talking about and from the news media, fight numerous lies against you and we will see how well you do!

Bernie Sanders SURGES into National lead in new Reuters/IPSOS poll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEe4Cxjn5mU 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 The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c And you thought any blue would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T4OZ_CsdO8 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..."

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.

  4415.  @HiTianshi  A Former Republican Praised Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility for legislation that passed because of him without him getting the credit! Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. Under Trump's presidency he 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/is 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 ON BOTH SIDES 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. 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. 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. 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. Over the past years, 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. Bernie CLOBBERS Opponents On Trade & Outsourcing 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 he has done a lot and for sure no other politician has done that much for people.

  4430. From the polling information Biden voters want to go back to the days of Obama and want a calm president LOL That sure debunks all of the alleged Bernie supporters and others that have bashed Bernie for not attacking harder! I tried to tell some of them when I talk to Biden supporters if I start to say Biden's corrupt or a liar or that Bernie shouldn't call him his friend they will tell me to get lost LOL but when I talk policy differences they would listen but most still didn't care. Nina went all over South Carolina for MONTHS and if they didn't listen to her so not sure why you think they would listen to Bernie if he had gone on the attack some of you wanted. They also love Obama and don't seem to care he didn't deliver on all of that change! Biden was his VP so he's the man. So, you can stop saying Bernie's weak as thinking that's a reason he is losing now! Bernie is not weak on his policies where it matters and his consistent record on those policies is why I voted for him! Bernie did attack hard on Social Security, exposed Biden's record on trying to cut it but who to you think most Floridians said they trust on Social Security? Biden! That also debunks those of you that think it would had mattered if Bernie hit harder and I think Bernie's data is right on 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 There is nothing Bernie could had done to get those older Biden supporters and we know Bernie won with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states so they see Bernie as a strong fighter for them. I do think if Biden voters didn't have Medicare or if someone in their family died because of not having the money for healthcare maybe they would rather have Bernie's Medicare for all then a calm Biden! If you are for Bernie's policies and think you can do better run for office and take those daily pressures AOC was talking about and from the news media, fight numerous lies against you and we will see how well you do!

  4449. 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." 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.

  4527.  Fred Davis  I wonder if you even get embarrassed when someone proves you are a liar? 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 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

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

  4579.  @Yaeazy  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.

  4595.  @schloops8473  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! I Disagree with him on automation even though it's here, it's not here the way Yang makes it out to be. I do think he would accelerate it. 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! 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!

  4600.  @schloops8473  First off, if you had addressed my points about Yang in other threads you should had said so to start with LOL I don't remember everyone I reply to and in fact many times I don't even pay attention to the names or nicknames of those making comments but rather just the comment and that is what I reply to! You might be right that Bernie can't get a jobs guarantee passed but he will sure be pushing it instead of going back on what he is campaigning on like a lot of presidents have done gone back on campaign promises by not even trying to get them passed once elected! But guaranteeing jobs if passed is not going to destroy jobs LOL He has made it clear all of the jobs that can be created and that would be created if he were president. DEFINITELY BOTH UBI AND MEDICARE FOR ALL WILL NOT PASS and Medicare for all is more needed!! Also, as I pointed out in my other comments there is no way UBI would be passed while keeping existing welfare and social programs! If they were eliminated which is yang's goal but as he said he "just wouldn't do it all at once" that would hurt poor people more than UBI would help them! As for the jobs Yang has created that's great but that's hardly a resume for being president as Yang is clearly not experienced in all of the different areas needed to be president! There has been a lot of important issues voted on and we have no way of knowing how Yang would vote on any of them! Nothing to show he would do anything he says and considering all of his flip flops that makes me trust him even LESS! Now if you have seen many of my comments not just replying to yours you would know I am clearly a Bernie supporter!!

  4602. 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!

  4731.  @jat2111  Good grief your fear mongering is not going to work with me! It works for the rich just fine and It does work with Social Security and Medicare all Medicare for all is expand it for everyone! I have friends in other countries that are happy with their health care and would never move here! Only the very wealthy just the same as here complains about it. You can't post any link or information that I have not already heard. But since you are against it then by all means refuse Social Security if you live long enough to get it and whatever you do don't call the fire dept if your home catches fire because if you do you are a hypocrite! Put the fire out yourself! Now, I don't continue on with people that care more about corp welfare than people dying needing health care. And don't give me that crap about they can go to the ER. The ER is not free! People still get charged and only the very poor can get Medicaid. Medical bills can wipe out the middle class, too! ALSO you can't get cancer check ups or other things done at the ER just to name a couple of reasons why that reasoning holds no merit. The only part of your comment I agree with is if UBI was ever passed that would definitely kill the incentives to work because people that can work should work but don't give me that hogwash, either, about people that are lazy wanting free stuff because I KNOW too many children of wealthy parents that have never worked a day in the life! They would never vote for Bernie because they want that free money to keep going to their parents. So if you are going to call anyone lazy make sure to point that in all the right places! Now have a nice day!

  4745. I don't call Warren "Pocahontas" as that has nothing to do with why I won't vote for her but the fact she believed she was Native American but remained totally silent when what she thought was her people (Peaceful Native Americans) were being brutalized at Standing Rock that does matter to me! I also care that Warren claimed she wouldn't take corp donations in the primary but come to find out she is using Corp money left over from her Senate run and that she has said more than once she would take corp donations in the general while Cenk remains quiet about that? Thought Cenk was for getting money out of politics? And that's not all. More reasons why I won't support Warren..... What Elizabeth Warren is QUIETLY telling Democratic Insiders... With phone calls, texts, and handwritten notes, the Mass Senator is continuing an unusually determined outreach effort to show party officials she is aligned with them.... (And some people really think that is someone that is progressive?) ALSO EXPOSED: Elizabeth Warren's Daughter Had $ Connection to Working Families Party Prior to Endorsement Then there's this...... 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.” 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. Warren is also wishy washy on 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.” "You can't change a corrupt system by taking its money" Bernie sanders quote. "Very Clear & Simple Reasons To Vote Bernie Over Warren" Secular talk channel gives a good summary although not all the differences why to vote Bernie over Warren! If you want Bernie to win SHARE it!

  4759.  @stormdefrost  Bernie also said he is the strongest candidate to beat Trump. Thing is I've been listening to people in my local area as well as online and too many people believe ANYONE can beat Trump. Even among Bernie supporters. I don't believe that but in all reality we don't have proof Biden can't beat Trump so for Bernie to say Biden can't beat Trump do you have any idea what that would cause? I think he's saying it right focusing on him being the stronger candidate to beat Trump and if you are listening he points out what Trump will use against Biden as well as other reasons why his campaign is the strongest to beat Trump! "We've got to first begin with ourselves are we willing to make sure we revel in the humanity of other people even when we disagree with them to give them the benefit of being right or wrong recognizing we could be right or wrong and then pursuit a dialogue together...all of us have varies kinds of blindness all of us have various kinds of shortcomings.....all of us have failures try again fail again fail better try again fail again fail better all of us have certain elements of failure built inside of who we are the question is can we accent the best of who we are because all of us have some real potential..." Dr. Cornel West "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 IMO Bernie should stick to his policies!

  4765. Never Yang! 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!

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."

  4935.  @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.

  4945.  @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.

"...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."

  4946.  @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.

  4947.  @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.

  4949.  @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
  4950.  @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.

  4956.  v1cv3g4s  Yes, it's hate when there is endless rants because (as I wrote) they don't do everything the way Jimmy Dore and others wants them to. I look at their voting record. When they vote against Medicare for all, higher wages, etc. that is when they deserve to be criticized but outside of that there are different strategies for accomplishing the same goals. Jimmy Dore and everyone else that wants everything done exactly the way they want should run for office so we can see how well he and others do but most would never go up against what the few progressives we have are, period. Are they perfect heck no but there is no one perfect and until we have a majority of progressives in office everyone needs to stop acting like they can pass progressive legislation with the few we have! Seriously? I have posted this so many times I lost count but since you seem to see and hear only what you want to let me point out a couple! As I wrote I use to listen to his show A LOT. Jimmy Dore with his endless rants for years bashing Bernie over and over and over over him not running as a Independent but then I hear Jimmy Dore interviewing his precious Tulsi, (well before she drops out!) and she told Jimmy basically the same as Bernie did that she will NOT run as an Independent and is also trying to change the Dem party. But did Jimmy go on an endless rant against her? Heck no! Now, I stopped listening to Jimmy Dore so whatever he said about her after she dropped out I could care less as Jimmy had already did the damage to the progressive movement. I also could care less he supported Tulsi. He should had just treated all the candidates the same. Also, bashed Bernie too death for supporting Biden which is what they all said they would do support the nominee but then Tulsi gives lovely words about Biden, too! After Bernie is hated on for anything he said positive about Biden. Bernie pointed out their differences in policies and that is all voters should care about as it's those votes that matter, not who they are friends with. Now you can make all the excuses you want for the different standards I just named and for the hate on one while not hating on the other that says the same thing but I could care less about your excuses for your cult leader. They are not perfect and votes they cast I disagree with I will say so but I will always have the same standards for the same candidates, the same politicians, period. Most would never go up against what Bernie has, either, for half the time he has. He has been mostly alone fighting for us for decades but some of you act like he can pass bills by his self. I don't agree with Bernie on every vote but with everything he has done for decades I sure am not going to hate on him just because he says something I don't like. Jimmy Dore is just as bad as the major news media is! I don't post something unless I can back it up regardless of excuses anyone makes for Jimmy Dore. Like I said I have given those specific examples many times for those of you that have no clue.

  4998.  @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!

  5020. whichguythatguy 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.

  5063. I could care less on talk! It's the walk I care about....... PETE "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ "In February, Pete Buttigieg stepped into the Manhattan office of the Wall Street Veteran Charles Myers to talk politics over Deli Sandwiches" 2020 Democrats "Cozy Up" To Wall Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cjmWpYsMM Pete Buttigieg is No Progressive, But Cable News Want You to Believe Otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE-4GxZvbXI&t=190s Pete Buttigieg Turns To Corporate Bundlers To Raise Cash Rising Democratic star Pete Buttigieg enlists Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fundraisers to build his 2020 campaign war chest https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/17/pete-buttigieg-enlists-barack-obama-hillary-clinton-fundraisers-for-2020-campaign.html Buttigieg EXPOSED As A Centrist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBan-nWNDg USA today rated South Bend one of the top 50 worst cities to live in, at number 40.

  5097. I like Dr. West but he didn't take on the fight of the fast track jabbers or the mandates that I have heard. This is not 2020! We have much more serious issues now than then. What is his position on mandates, digital currency, WEF? The WEF/Gates climate agenda. I don't vote for party or name. I vote for the person with the record that is closer to my priorities which are our freedoms in THIS country. Funny all the negative talk that seems to discourage people from voting for Bobby while no matter how bad the odds look that he can win it doesn't stop Trump supporters no matter how bad the odds are against him. Try to discourage them and see how far you get? if it's Biden VS Trump would I vote for Dr. West? It depends if he addresses the issues I named and if I don't keep hearing all the negative talk about Bobby! Kennedy, Jr. makes admissions against his own interests! He's open minded and can see when he was wrong about something and admits it regardless of the political consequences regardless if it's not what people want to hear. I can understand after listening to Joel Rubin that there are things that are controversial about RW although I am not saying he's right on all of his opinions but I do definitely agree with Joel Rubin when he said about Kennedy, Jr. "I actually think he was sincere in his position I think it was strong that he said he supports human rights and peace for the Palestinians the state for Palestine..." end of quote Bobby's record with Children's Health, his lawsuits including the one he helped win against Monsanto and his ongoing class action lawsuit against Biden, Fauci, and others is how I can know I can trust him to do what he says! Dr. Ron PAUL about Kennedy, Jr, "He's developed a name because he was willing to take on the Pharmaceutical Industries and that's a big deal" end of quote Tulsi Gabbard: 'They are ‘deathly afraid’ of Bobby Kennedy" end of quote In 1984 he co-founded the waterkeeper alliance a global network of community based water protection programs. He also served as the chief prosecuting attorney for the Hudson Riverkeepers an organization that focuses on protecting the Hudson River and it's tributaries. He has received numerous awards for his environmental work. He was at standing with standing rock! I don't agree with Bobby on everything. There is no one I agree with on everything but our freedoms in this country is first.

  5153. 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.

  5173. "...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..."

  5246. Emmette Gamble  I don't think Bernie has changed on the gun issue! He has a D- rating so that proves he was never soft on gun issues! He was against one part of the bill that would make gun manufacturers liable for what some crazy person does with a gun even though they sold the gun legally! He supported the rest of that bill then and I think he said something about if they rewrote that he would revisit it but anyways I totally agree with Bernie that you don't hold gun manufacturers responsible no more than you would hold a knife manufacturer responsible for what some nut does with a knife! Or hold farmers liable for people getting fat. Because that was in the bill that he disagreed with holding gun manufacturers responsible is hardly flip flopping on that issue when he was never for that one part of the bill or at least up until then he was not. Yes most other politicians flip but all things considered unless there is something added to a bill that Bernie does not like he does NOT flip flop and has a very long consistent record of doing what he says! The same can not be said for Hillary. I have to correct you in that I am not a Democrat first!! Actually we are undeclared which means we can vote in either the Dem primary or the Republican primary so the issues most important to us is what's first :) I guess the reason I don't share the same negative opinion about Cornel West regarding his views on Obama is because while I do give credit where credit is due with Obama (I am not like some people that only praises one party or the other as I will call something wrong regardless of which party it is in) I don't think Obama has done the job he should had for the middle class and poor and maybe that is why Cornel West talks about Obama like he does? Two examples would be the grand bargain that thankfully did not pass and when Obama could had let the Bush tax cuts expire but did not. Bernie was standing up on both of those issues against the grand bargain and against the bush tax cuts. Republicans don't budge on certain issues so Dems should have their priories,too, that they don't compromise! But yet Bernie is known as Amendment King because of all the bills he help to pass that were bipartisan so I give him credit for that, too! Thanks for the good luck but I am sorry I can't say the same about Hillary!

  5309. Lynch Hillary, wow, things heated up here after I left LOL You do know the judge ruled The Army Corps, acting under directions from the Trump administration, violated the law when it approved the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline? Since you are so interested in laws not being broken! You do know Eminent Domain is the power of government to take private land for public use? For building roads, railroads, HERE in the US? And you do know the oil flowing through the pipelines are going out of this country? I do find it ironic so many Republicans that were all for the pipelines until it was going through some Republicans land in Texas and all of a sudden those Republicans are against the pipeline going through their lands. Just like so many Republicans that are against/for something until it is going to affect them.  You do know treaties are the supreme law of the land under our constitution? Or are you one of the ones that only wants the parts of our constitution upheld that you agree with? I would like to see proof of your allegations that Jane Sanders lied about her assets on the loan application? I am so thankful I woke up and left the Republican party and became an Independent! It feels so good to not be a part of so many things wrong in both parties! Hate, greed, corruption, lies, false accusations, promoting endless wars, fracking, bad trade deals, Major Corporations ruling this country and so much hypocrisy, all within both parties. Yep, I got off the topic! If just one person reads this and wakes up then it was worth it. I will check back to read your proof of Jane Sanders lying about her assets. Proof! But other than that I am done here. Not because I don't want to respond but simply because I don't have anymore time to spend here LOL and I know where you stand so no point in it.

  5316. I understand Bernie is trying to make the Dem party a party of the people again I get that but I don't get it how Bernie thinks he can make Hillary move/stay left and even if she said the same things he does how he can believe her? Hillary's RECORD speaks for itself she is FOR fracking, endless wars, super pacs, bad trade deals and has so many flip flops depending on whichever way the establishment winds blow add to that the huge amount of money coming from REPUBLICAN top donors until it makes no sense that Bernie would believe anything she says! Then the biggest thing of all to me is how he can say he would vote for her or anyone that has risked National Security that is under a FBI investigation? He doesn't talk like he is still trying to be President and considering the election fraud and the possible indictments you would think he would just reserve any comments about Hillary until it's all finished. I am still a Bernie supporter all the way and I know there will never be a perfect candidate that does and says all the things we want them to but because he has a consistent record of being for most of the same issues I am I remain Bernie or Bust. NEVER Hillary and I don't vote out of fear. http://trustvote.org/ video "Protecting Our Elections" shows PROOF BERNIE WON! They have shorter videos there, too, but the longer video "Protecting Our Elections" shows all the evidence, experts, etc. they have for this YUGE case. YUGE NEWS This is unlike any election fraud case I've heard of as they spent a lot of time putting this case together with a lot of evidence from a lot of states! Even if you need to watch the video a little at a time it's well worth watching.

  5322. Social JustUs?  You have taken so many things out of context until I won't even begin to correct you because someone that would do that is not interested in truth! Bernie grew up poor so he knows exactly what it is no matter how much someone takes what he says out of context or distorts his record. Bernie spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, and the poor! I am not a uninformed Bernie Supporter. I know his record very well and so do all the people in his home state where he has the highest approval rating of any sitting US Senator with a lot of support in both parties. You have every right to disagree with him on issues but you have no right to distort his record or take what he says out of context. I am not a Obama supporter so I won't comment on that but I have been a Christian for over 40 years and I could give a Bible Study on exactly what I meant that Bernie acts more like a Christian than many do that claim to be one but again anyone that wants to know truth can "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Meaning many people that say they are a Christian just isn't one! Lots more Scriptures on that subject. "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures..." Meaning a lot of people think they know what the Bible reads that don't. Bernie is honest in his faith and that is more than I can say about a lot of people that say they are a Christian that has no clue to what half the Bible reads. Now, as I say anyone that wants to know truth they would search and find without my help! Have a nice life as I am done with this conversation and yes as a Christian I also feel to move on. And yes for sure the day will cometh when we will all know exactly who had truth and who didn't and I think a lot of people in both parties will be surprised.

  5342. We were Republicans for MANY years and we changed to Independent so we could vote for Bernie!! I could give so many reasons why but we must educate people more!! Too many people are being led by others with their fear mongering and hateful distortions of Bernie's record and worse. I was sad when I saw some people on the news networks when they were asked "Why did they vote for Bernie Sanders" some of them were so vague and they couldn't really adequately tell some of the best reasons to vote for him. I think we have seen just a sample of what is to come by Bill Clinton's hateful remarks! I just get so upset at it because I know when Hillary ran against Obama she attacked him for being too tough on guns and now Hillary attacks Bernie for the opposite and distorts his record. Hillary said back then that any Dem should be ashamed at attacking another Dem over Universal Health Care and now she is doing just that attacking Bernie over it and then Hillary talks about what some supporters do that may or may not be real Bernie supporters but then she laughs out loud when Albright said women will go to hell if they don't vote for Hillary. If that is any indication on what is to come I gotta tell you it's not going to be pretty!! Bernie needs the supporters with big names with him or even holding rallies of their own in the states that are having primaries in!! Nina Turner has been great and so has a few others but there needs to be more. I am HIGHLY disappointed in Elizabeth Warren for not having already endorsed Bernie! She seemed to be the same as Bernie on some issues but if she would endorse Hillary I would consider her a sell out. Bernie has spent his entire political life fighting for others and some of those with big names should be standing there with him and defending him when needed. It's NOT attack ads to point out the differences on issues but sometimes I think Bernie is too shy on really rolling up his sleeves and BOLDLY declaring those differences. Why did he run if not to tell people their differences on issues. Sadly, Hillary just wants to distort Bernie's record and God forbid for anyone to disagree with Obama on anything even though Hillary disagreed with him a lot when she ran against him.

  5353. justachannel  Of course it's ok with me for everyone to vote their conscience :) I point out why I vote the way I do or why I won't vote for someone but then each of us have our own highest set of priorities and it's most unfair for anyone to think we have to vote for someone we feel is wrong for whatever valid reason! It took a long time for women to get the right to vote but they were unstoppable and I feel sure MLK followers knew it would take a long time for the rights they fought for and while it might be the same for Bernie it's a fight worth taking to stop the corruption within our system and the best place to start is by not taking super pac money and ending Corporate Welfare to balance out things for all of us! People can debate not voting for Bernie gives a Trump Presidency (since Bernie has the greatest margins winning against all the Republicans) or if not voting for Hillary would do the same but in the end if Trump won the Presidency then ultimately it is those that VOTE FOR HIM that gave him the presidency and no one else! I do feel a vote for anyone taking super pac money and/or represents Wall Street is a pro establishment vote but that's my opinion and everyone else is entitled to their opinion, too!! Yes, the world has changed a lot. Republicans didn't use to be so extreme and there didn't use to be Corporate Dems or if there were years ago I was not aware of them. It's beyond me how anyone can think that super pac money doesn't influence policy making. It's not that I don't want to continue conversation with anyone! It's just I feel there are important issues that I want to get out to as many people as possible and with my other real life duties I try to equal my online time as much as possible to as many as possible.

  5407. We really don't get it when it comes to the majority of blacks voting for Hillary because Bernie has always fought for everyone except billionaires and he has the long record to prove it. Yes, it's been years ago since Bernie marched with MLK and got arrested for protesting but he sure didn't do it to gain any votes! When Hillary was campaigning for Goldwater with Goldwater being against civil rights there was a clear distinction then. Going forward Bernie remained the same in his political views and when it was totally unpopular Bernie was there campaigning for Jesse Jackson. Then when all the black votes wrongfully got trashed in Florida when Gore was running for president I don't think there was any other politician other than Bernie that went to Florida regarding this? As for Bill Clinton I am totally bewildered after the bills he passed that Hillary was clearly for, too, that hurt poor people especially black people but the majority of black people still love Bill and Hillary? I am totally shocked at the words Hillary used regarding super-predators! But Bill and Hillary seem to get a pass from it all. It really reminds me of how some people think their candidate, their party can do no wrong but yet they would be so critical of anyone else that would do the same thing. If black people really think things will get better for them or any other poor person in this country with Hillary they are dreaming! There are some pretty good odds that if Hillary does win the nomination that there will be a Republican president because many Bernie supporters are not as forgiving of Bill and Hillary as the majority of black people are and will not be voting for Hillary. Sure some Bernie supporters will but a lot of them won't! NO, it won't be the lack of Bernie supporters that could give the win to the next Republican but all the Dems that are voting for Hillary instead of Bernie. Bernie Sanders has the highest rating of any sitting US Senator so he has a lot of Republican support, too! When some Republicans in his state were asked why they support Bernie they said because he puts THEIR interest ABOVE Corporate interest. That says it all. Lets see how much Hillary puts the interest of people above those she takes all the super pac money from.

  5413.  @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.

  5423. I disagree with Yang on not raising the min wage! Over 200 economists have signed a petition for raising the min wage to $15! I Disagree with him on automation even though it's here, it's not here the way Yang makes it out to be. I do think he would accelerate it. 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 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 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!

  5428.  @santtu9000  Dang! Is that ever too long to read! I am guilty, too, of writing long ones but you could had written one reply at a time shorter and I would had read that then reply then you write another etc. Since you think your research is better than Codepink's I know without reading all of your research that I don't know if yours is totally accurate or not, not having the time now to research it and knowing enough of Bernie's record to know I still support him!! So, if it was your intent to let me know Bernie is not perfect on being anti wars you wasted your time. I already knew that but I also know he's is more perfect than any of the others is that has a record. What little I did read your comments were full of smears, too, so you should had kept it to policies/record so I wouldn't think hating on Bernie is as much your intent as putting Bernie's record out there. I get turned off of someone's research when it's full of smears!! And I sure hope you are not a Tulsi supporter when her record is not perfect, either, and she has basically done the same as some of what you are bashing Bernie for. I supported Jill Stein after Bernie lost the primary last time but I've got news for you she is not perfect, either! And since she has no voting record you don't know how she would had voted on many of the issues you raised. I voted for Bernie because he comes closer to the issues I am for/against then the others! And I totally agreed with Bernie NOT running as an Independent. If you think a Independent can win you are delusional when our system is not set up for a Independent to win being president AND he is not going to split the vote. I've heard too many Dems even among his own supporters that EXPECT him to support the nominee!! Doesn't matter if you don't think Trump is worse than the Dem nominee is it matters what the majority of voters think and the majority of voting Dems think exactly that Trump is a lot worse than any of the Dems. Now that you gave your book on why you don't support Bernie I will give you my book on why I do support him! 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

  5430. 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.

  5465.  Fred Davis  I am voting for Bernie's policies not for how he sits, stands, combs his hair, or waves his arms lol I think you need to think again about your comment no one is impressed because he sure has a lot of individual donations from people and think they would be impressed if they are donating lol Not everyone can get back to reply to comments and sometimes youtube don't even give us notifications when someone replies so allow me to answer your question on what Bernie has done.... Bernie Sanders Accomplishments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aER6WSs9AmY&feature=youtu.be 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.

  5466.  Fred Davis  Bernie has always been for Medicare for all ever since he first started talking about health care! You didn't do a very good job researching. That doesn't mean he wasn't for Medicare for all just because he supported Obamacare KNOWING he could NOT get Medicare for all so nice try! Bernie is going to try to save as many lives as he can through health care until he could get Medicare for all. You think he was going to be held responsible for any deaths he could prevent with Obamacare just because he couldn't get his way on the bill he wanted most? Think again! And if you don't think Obamacare was better than what it was before that then you don't care about the people it did cover. There wasn't the support from the majority of people then for Medicare for all and like Bernie says it takes the people being for for the policies, too. Bernie was thankful that he got more people covered than there was but I'm sure you want to spin it to suit you take on it. As for Dodd-Frank I totally agree with his vote on that. To promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end "too big to fail," to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other purposes. "...But a new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, written by University of Chicago researchers João Granja and Christian Leuz, supports the opposite contention: Stricter regulation can, in many cases, improve lending activity and benefit the economy." https://www.salon.com/2018/01/05/does-regulation-kill-off-business-profits-as-trump-claims-not-at-all/ Why Killing Dodd-Frank Could Lead to the Next Crash https://www.commondreams.org/views/2018/07/08/why-killing-dodd-frank-could-lead-next-crash You disagree with him on policies, fine, you don't have to vote for him but don't expect everyone to agree with you!

  5467.  Fred Davis  When polling is stated on who favors Medicare for all as long as they can keep their doctor which they can then the majority do want Medicare for all. Try to take Medicare for all away from those that have it now or those that have it in other countries and you will find out really quick the majority do want it!! I have heard from too many people that Obamacare did help that I am not going to argue with you or go through to gather the research to prove that point because you claim it's not better for you but that's exactly why we need Medicare for all because it is better, covers more people for less money unless you are among the top one percent? But for those that Obamacare did help that's great but Medicare for all would be even better. For those Obamacare did not help that's why we need Medicare for all in it's place! The government with Medicare for all has nothing to do with the decisions doctors make for their patients. Have you even read the bill? I doubt it. The only part the government will play in that is paying them! Not the treatments,! You got that wrong about Bernie giving handouts for people that can work! He wants a federal jobs guarantee for all those that can work but it's not mandatory but I know people like you claim in one breath to want people to work while in the other breath being against a Federal job guarantee for those that want to work. And each of us would be paying for Medicare for all just LESS than what we pay now so don't know what handout you are talking about? Medicare for all would also help keep people physically able to work! Another stupid argument! To compare getting loans with health care because when someone goes in to buy something on credit they are saying they will pay for it but no one says to a doctor or hospital give me a disease and I will pay for it. Now, you made your points and I have made mine so no need to continue this discussion because it would be a waste of time to do so. https://www.kff.org/slideshow/public-opinion-on-single-payer-national-health-plans-and-expanding-access-to-medicare-coverage/

  5476.  @rachelmadison7771  Trump praises Kim Jong Un North Korea as 'very honorable' https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/24/trump-praise-kim-jong-un-547610 Bernie was condemning the illegal Military Coup against Evo Morales Trump is the one cozing up to Communist around the world. "We're VERY opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba" Bernie Sanders "And we condemned that" Bernie Sanders "Unlike Donald Trump lets be clear I do NOT think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend. I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Putin not a great friend of mine!" Bernie Sanders on 60 Minutes. 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 the one cozying up to Communist around the world. Not Bernie 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.

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?

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.

  5480. I just don't get it how Warren with her lies or some of the others with their records could have any good favorabilities to speak of at all!! Why I won't vote for Warren! 1. 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. I won't vote for Pete. either.....

  5490. 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.

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. http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf

  5524.  @bradleejones9959  Lying and then putting "God" in your comments like that. Hope you don't claim to be a Christian? Trump writing love letters to dictators.... 'He wrote me beautiful letters and we fell in love': Donald Trump on Kim Jong-un https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV6mVmAVQU4 Trump praises Kim Jong Un North Korea as 'very honorable' https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/24/trump-praise-kim-jong-un-547610 Bernie was condemning the illegal Military Coup against Evo Morales Trump is the one cozing up to Communist around the world. "We're VERY opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba" Bernie Sanders "And we condemned that" Bernie Sanders "Unlike Donald Trump lets be clear I do NOT think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend. I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Putin not a great friend of mine!" Bernie Sanders on 60 Minutes. 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 the one cozying up to Communist around the world. Not Bernie 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.

I Disagree with him on automation even though it's here, it's not here the way Yang makes it out to be. I do think he would accelerate it. 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 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 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!

  5591. ​ @gacdogs8282  This is what I think would be hypocritical of Bernie. If after all these years of him not being wealthy (I know the definition of wealthy can vary) telling everyone that the wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes, not a lower percentage than some of their employees pay that makes a lot less if now suddenly that he is more wealthy (still not as wealthy as a lot of politicians are) he would say nope, the wealthy should not pay more in taxes. But Bernie isn't doing that. He is still saying the same thing so if a higher tax rate gets passed now he would have to pay more taxes, too, just like he has been saying all along and is still saying. As for his third house other politicians have homes in Washington and in the home state they are a rep or senator of so that's 2 houses. Why shouldn't he have one that he considers a vacation home for him and his family? I really don't care what any of the politicians have. I care about their policies, their voting record, and where they got the money from. Bernie didn't get his from wall street speeches. How many can say that? The establishment goes after Bernie, all of the major news media, of course Republicans do. I just think people need to be careful to make sure they have a legit complaint about him before smearing him. He is not perfect, no candidate is but his record proves he really cares about people. I know he has taken people to Canada to get meds they could not afford here an other things that most politicians never do for the average person! Maybe if it's someone in their family.

"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 what he believes we need is a New Deal..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMamSmsAIM Also over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15.

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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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 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? But then Yang has there about Nixon being for UBI but does not have it there about Nixon's UBI had a WORK REQUIREMENT WITH HIS UBI AND ONLY FOR COUPLES WITH CHILDREN! How disingenuous of Yang all to imply Nixon was for UBI without saying the differences between his and Nixon's!

"...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..."

  5670. Smear him all you want but Bernie is not a coward. He wouldn't be standing up against the establishment if he was. He did say the primary was rigged against him so you lied to say he had "nothing" to say! Just because he didn't say what you wanted him to. Bernie said he would support the nominee and he was not going to do a Nader! He is trying to change the Dem party the way he thinks he has the best chance and for sure I am not going to dictate to Bernie to do what I think he should. Bernie lost the last primary. There was nothing he could do about it with the super delegates in the first round. GET OVER IT. If you don't agree with his policies then it's understandable you won't vote for him but if you agree with his polices and don't vote for him you are just cutting off your nose to spite your face and shooting your own self in the foot. I am voting for Bernie for his issues and voting record not because of who he supported in the last general election. I think some people either didn't follow VP Gore or has amnesia! (Not saying you are one of them). Back when VP Gore had them do recounts he was HEAVILY CRITICIZED for it and a lot of that came from HIS OWN SUPPORTERS calling him "sore loser" so he stopped the recounts. Then in recent years we learn he actually won but have we heard a peep out of VP Gore about that and how they stole it from him? No! Bernie is not the one that should had brought attention to all of that in the last primary since the super delegates were against him. OTHERS SHOULD HAD AND OTHERS DID!! Bernie has spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. even before it was politically popular to fight for them on some issues. He is still fighting for those same issues. He didn't buy my vote he earned it.

  5714.  @maximus012  Thanks for your respectful reply, however, I don't make excuses for hypocrites. Regardless of the reasons Jimmy Dore supported Tulsi (which I had no problem with that) he should have had the same standards for all the candidates, period. As far as I am concerned he is as bad as the major news media. Bernie is not perfect, but his record including his voting record which is why I supported him even though his voting record is not perfect, is because it was more perfect than any of the other candidates and for long enough I trusted/trust him to continue to fight for the same policies he ran on. Bernie did what he said he would do from the beginning! His voting record has not and is not cozy with the Democrats. He has voted against what they have voted for many times and he is still fighting for the policies we need. I don't see Tulsi or any of the others fighting for them? All of the support for Tulsi when in the end she did the same as Bernie before he even dropped out. Most would never go up against what Bernie has for one year much less decades but for all those that think they could do better including Jimmy Dore they should run for office and do better!! Bernie has been mostly alone fighting for us even when it was not politically popular to fight for certain rights and then the way so called progressives dropped out BEFORE Bernie did and supported Biden along with Clyburg's endorsement people have a lot of nerve to criticize Bernie! Not to mention progressives are really divided in case you haven't noticed. Even some of Bernie's top staffers were calling on him to drop out before he did. Until progressives unite we will never have a progressive president.

  5726.  @moby108  LOL Nice way to deflect away from the question I asked you LOL You are the one that has definitely Maximized Bernie's faults and Minimized his accomplishments. Asking you what you have done or saying you should run for office since you seem to think you have all the right answers was NOT deflecting away from your comments as I also replied to them, too! Unlike you, that did deflect away from my question! You definitely assumed too much thinking I was trying to say I was superior LOL in my voting responsibility just because I told you how I go about choosing who I vote for. I don't call people trolls or bots as a matter of fact when others did it even with someone I disagreed with I told them a troll is just someone that disagrees. A lot of people call others bots and trolls I am not one of them LOL So you got that WRONG LOL Unless you said you are a Trump supporter I would not accuse you of being one so you got that wrong, too LOL I might tell someone they are acting like a Republican or Democrat but I would not say they were one unless they told me they were. By the way are you saying you put no blame on Corp politicians? Are you going to answer my questions or deflect again LOL JUST TO BE CLEAR YOU are the one that said, " Isn't it time to vote for someone that is fresh enough to have the energy to push harder for what the people deserve" so when you are asking me about voting and I RESPOND TO THAT telling you how I choose to vote was not trying to be superior but just responding to what you asked me.

  5770. Jane Seamore, why don't yo admit it's the free money he's offering everyone as in not having to work for it or earn it that you admire. 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!

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. Elizabeth Warren's Old Colleague EXPOSES Her As A Republican Reaganite & A Pathological Liar! On YT Channel The Progressive Voice Biden proposed SocialSecurity cuts not just in 90's but Obama/Biden proposed SS cuts Grand Bargain. Bernie against those cuts thankfully did not pass. Biden also voted for Iraq war, bad trade deals.

  5823.  @scoobydoobers23  Yes, some of those sources I named were taking into account machines and humans complement each other as well as there has always been new jobs created for humans as automation increased. To say that will no longer be true is fear mongering and there is no evidence that it will take over the way Yang says it will unless jobs are not created where Yang ends up making automation increase faster than it normally would. The facts also do not show that UBI is the best solutions for a better world. 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! "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 what he believes 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 supporter 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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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. 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..."

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

  5825.  @scoobydoobers23  Look, I've seen enough Yang supporters and other supporters have long comments and for sure many Yang supporters ask people to read his BOOK that I have no desire to read. I go by political records, not books. As for your economists for UBI just one thing you are failing to mention! Which ones support YANG'S VERSION OF UBI? I hope you are not doing what many Yang supporters do and tell about economists from the 60s that were also for a form of FJG to imply they would be for Yang's version? Like so many Yang supporters also have tried to imply Nixon would be for Yang's UBI when Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT attached to his and only for couples with children! NOT THE SAME! There are over 200 economists that are for raising the min wage to $15 and over 200 economists for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill! Now, tell me which economists are for YANG'S VERSION OF UBI? And 144 references went into that report that UBI will NOT do what Yang claims. Good luck disputing all of that. 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 https://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/15-minimum-wage-petition?inline=file

  5827. Yep, this is long but I really get tired of BS like yours.... "...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..."

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.

  5871. jthan709 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!

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.

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."

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!

"...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....

  5890.  @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

  5895.  @dorothypage77  I wish everyone would stay respectful, too, respectfully disagree! In the beginning I never so much as called anyone a moron LOL much less worse until I started to be called that and worse and then I admit I have gone on the defensive but still not cussing like some do or saying really insulting comments that I have read some Yang supporters throw around. I have been totally honest in what I have posted! People can see the same thing differently so when I post something Yang said that's why I give the links so if someone wants to interpret what he said differently than I do they have the exact words and link! I take a candidate for exactly what they have said but problem with that when it comes to Yang is he has flipped on some of his positions so who can know for sure he won't go back to his original positions? There has been a lot of important votes in congress and no one can know for sure how Yang would had voted on any of them and that's a FACT. That is also very important when it comes to trusting a candidate to know they won't go back on what they are campaigning on! By the way, that report I posted the "core conclusions" to has over 100 references there so that is not misinformation! Those are facts that was used for them to come to the conclusions they did! I have also given sources that include economists so no misleading information there, either! People can decide for their selves which sources they want to believe or not believe. There is no misinformation that Jordan is spreading! The guy he had on, Steve, has researched UBI for a long time and he interviewed Pavlina Tcherneva Associate Professor of Economics that also backs everything Steve said. I have also listened to Charles Murray, a conservative some think he's a Libertarian that is for UBI in a UBI debate with Jared Bernstein a progressive AGAINST UBI. That debate is on youtube! and shows exactly what UBI is and what it would do. Yang is totally disingenuous on some of what he uses to promote his UBI such as Yang saying Nixon was for UBI as if to imply Nixon would be for yang's version when Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT attached to his UBI and was only for couples with children! So that's not the same at all as Yang's! I could say more but that's about enough LOL When someone genuinely cares about this country and all it's problems and they see real reasons to be concerned with a candidate's policies they are going to say it just like I have. Yang should had ran for local office first, got a record so people could know what he is really all about. That would had at least cut down on some of the mistrust even if people still disagreed with his policies. Like even though I am voting for Bernie, I don't agree with him on everything but he comes closer to my views than any of the others ALSO WITH A RECORD so I can know he won't go back on what he is campaigning on even if I don't agree with him on everything.

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!

  5913. Another disingenuous or uninformed Yanger! Nixon had a WORK REQUIREMENT WITH HIS UBI and ONLY for couples with children! NOT THE SAME AT ALL AS YANGS! Alaska's is based on OIL not the same as Yang's would be funded by, Not the same! 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 If you want to watch a good 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.

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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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 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? But then Yang has there about Nixon being for UBI but does not have it there about Nixon's UBI had a WORK REQUIREMENT WITH HIS UBI AND ONLY FOR COUPLES WITH CHILDREN! How disingenuous of Yang all to imply Nixon was for UBI without saying the differences between his and Nixon's!

  5979.  @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

  5994.  @Sensiblefool  First off, my spouse worked at a Nuclear Power Plant and without going into details I don't care if they shut them all down! Safety takes priority! Second, I call your BS on solar power! I know someone very intelligent that their entire workplace is solar and has been for years and he wouldn't have it if it was all you said it is. I think you are just LOOKING FOR REASONS to smear Bernie THROWING ANYTHING YOU CAN OUT THERE HOPING IT WILL STICK! And you seem to over look Tulsi's faults! First by being for torture! And I don't care she hadn't seen a report yet she should not had been for torture regardless. Now, I rarely post Tulsi's faults because I know there is no perfect candidate but if a Tulsi supporters smears Bernie then I will. Tulsi is also for drone strikes. How many innocent people do you think that has killed? She has also voted for more Military Budget increases than Bernie has and that does not speak well for someone wanting to end endless wars! And if she is so against wars why did she joined the Military? Gone over there and part of the killing of innocent people as well as our soldiers. It's not like she was doing it to protect our country since we had not been invaded! Not to mention Tulsi's past not being so perfect before she evolved. https://portside.org/2019-04-04/heres-how-2020-candidates-stack-war-and-peace But Gabbard’s actual voting record on war and peace issues, especially on military spending, is not nearly as dovish as that of Sanders. She voted for 19 of 29 military spending bills in the past six years, and she has only a 51 percent Peace Action voting record. Many of the votes that Peace Action counted against her were votes to fully fund controversial new weapons systems, including nuclear-tipped cruise missiles (in 2014, 2015 and 2016); an 11th U.S. aircraft-carrier (in 2013 and 2015); and various parts of Obama’s anti-ballistic missile program, which fueled the New Cold War and arms race she now decries. Gabbard voted at least twice (in 2015 and 2016) not to repeal the much-abused 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, and she voted three times not to limit the use of Pentagon slush funds. In 2016, she voted against an amendment to cut the military budget by just 1 percent. Gabbard received $8,192 in “defense” industry contributions for her 2018 reelection campaign. Gabbard still believes in a militarized approach to counterterrorism, despite studies showing that this feeds a self-perpetuating cycle of violence on both sides. 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders 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! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/bernard-sanders/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/

  6009.  @jiukumite  You have a lot of nerve to tell me I didn't answer your question when not only I did but you didn't answer my questions and you didn't even attempt to answer them! LOL I told you if protesting falls on deaf ears, doesn't work, I would keep speaking up, speaking out for what I believe exercising my constitutional rights to do so and if it kept on not working I would had felt great that I spoke up for what I believe! BUT without YOU PUTTING A NAME ON EXACTLY WHAT PART/PARTS OF A PROTEST FALLS ON DEAF EARS then my answer could not go further than that as it would depend on what protest fell on deaf ears what I would do BEYOND what I have already written. There is protesting against Truckers crossing boarders without the jab, healthcare workers being fired for not taking it, protesting higher fuel prices, protesting against wearing masks, protesting to be able to enter stores, eating places without the jab, protests in the past for other causes such as M4A. higher wages, against wars, etc. So don't try to trap me into a one detailed answer that would fit all protesting that I am for/against because it's not a one size fits all answer. My more detailed answers would be different depending on what part/parts of the protesting doesn't work and I am not here to write you a book of how I would respond to each of them since it would not be the same detailed answer for all of them. Now, if that is too much for your brain to handle go bug someone else with whatever mind games you are trying to play.

  6041. 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 and said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far. I wonder how they would want to be paid back? Maybe by not following through on Medicare for all. She is all over the place on Medicare for all and said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far.

  6067. 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!

  6071.  @sammiejo6557  So, don't listen to any Yang interviews, just read his website. Can I quote you on that? Because that was an interview with Yang that link! Nothing false about it as it was Yang himself in that interview. You are a truth denier to deny listening to Yang in an interview and what he said. You do know there is more than one disability program? People can get SSA disability if they worked long enough and prove they are disabled while other disabled people if they didn't work long enough they get SSI if they meet the requirements so some disabled people will get it stacked and others won't. I know people that are disabled and in fact have helped some people that are on welfare and NONE of them will opt out! I know people that have been through cancer that rather have Medicare for all, medical debt relief than UBI. So it really depends on what someone's priorities are! Just like many of us rather have the FJG than UBI. Research proves that UBI won't do what Yang claims it will. Anger? LOL you would know if I was angry which I'm not even though you lied about my spreading "misinformation" but I do know many Yang supporters can not stand it when someone disagrees with them! 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. 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 supporter 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 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

  6080. It's really easy for me knowing the differences in Bernie VS Warren starting with Warren saying she would take Corp money in the general while Bernie hasn't and won't and then there's Warren's record, too! Elizabeth Warren is Buttering Up Democratic Party Elites as Part of 2020 Strategy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM8m9T9ZBr4 "Senator Elizabeth Warren is seeking to assure Democrats that she wants a revival, not a revolution." Don't expect her 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. 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.

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."

And don't think you get that LOL You brought up in a previous comment Warren's voting record on Military Budget Increases which I agree with so thought I'd bring up Bernie's and Tulsi's... 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders Bernie has voted with Trump 13.8% of the time.

  6135.  @CaptainShiny5000  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.

  6138.  @bassranger1054  I have debunked so much of what you have said until it's pathetic that you are still trying to push a bunch of BS! I have known of hospitals that sue people that didn't have the money to pay their hospital costs! Of course it depends on the hospital but they can do that in my state! For whatever reason that you claim people haven't had to spend much for hospital or other medical costs like I already posted the opposite is true for other people. Yes, there are programs to help poor people with medical bills but if you think people that make barely above that can afford high amounts of medical bills you really don't know as many people as I do that barely made over the amount to get Medicaid but no where near enough to pay for huge medical debt. Also, in some states some people have to be physically or mentally disabled in addition to being poor to get Medicaid. So again that is going to leave some people out. When a family member of mine had to have chemo it was several thousands of dollars. Doctors can demand all payments be made up front, too, or refuse to treat someone. I have SEEN a doctor's agreement that they make people sign and it basically reads that if they don't get all of their money WHEN THEY WANT IT the patient has to agree to pay attorney's fees for them to collect it in addition to what is owed before they will be seen. All doctors might not do that but if someone lives in an area that does have doctors with those kinds of agreements is just another reason why some people will die without the medical care they need. You are making excuses that just because some people have good insurance or the money to pay out of pocket then you think everyone else can, too. NOT true!

  6201. Matthew Brust 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.

  6202. 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. Or you can argue with the over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is always the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. 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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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 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. 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 And then there's this.... 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!

  6210. There is no nice side of me when it comes to not forgiving Warren for not supporting Bernie in the last primary! But, I guess it does help me to not have that nice side on that with Warren also being silent while peaceful Native Americans were being brutalized at Standing Rock and that was even when she still thought she was Native American not speaking out in behalf of what she thought was her people! Warren using corp donations NOW during the primary from transferring them from her Senate run, Warren silently letting the establishment know she aligns with them, Warren wishy washy on Medicare for all AND this below helps me to not have that nice side of me when it comes to Warren.... 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-/ 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.

  6215.  @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!

You know Bernie is not a commie, you've been educated enough on Bernie's pages/streams unless you are just not smart enough to learn but thank you for giving me the opportunity once again to point out Trump's love letters to dictators as well as Bernie not being a commie. Since you are not smart enough to learn you are probably not smart enough to be able to read this much so I'll understand if it's too long for you to read! Trump writing love letters to dictators....

"We're VERY opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba" Bernie Sanders "And we condemned that" Bernie Sanders "Unlike Donald Trump lets be clear I do NOT think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend. I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Putin not a great friend of mine!" Bernie Sanders on 60 Minutes. 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 the one cozying up to Communist around the world. Not Bernie 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.

  6228.  Fred Davis  Once AGAIN Bernie is not a commie! There has never been one policy he voted for or that he has wanted that was a communistic policy and for sure he is more for our freedoms than the politicians on BOTH sides that voted for the Patriot Act that has taken some of our freedoms away while Bernie voted AGAINST it. You must live in a very fearful state to believe such hogwash! Trump writing love letters to dictators....

  6230.  @SteveM-gj2vy  While you go off trying to find smears and/or lies about Bernie I am and have been laser focused on his record including his VOTING record (you know something that is actually REAL) so I don't get distracted from people that would think it's crazy he don't want people dying because they can't go to a doctor, crazy because he was against bad trade deals that took many jobs away, crazy because he voted AGAINST the Patriot Act that has taken some of our freedoms away, crazy for voting against the Iraq war that took some of our veterans away, crazy for the movement he started to stop Obama and Biden's Social Security cuts that would had taken some of our seniors and veterans income away, crazy that he took people to Canada for cheaper meds, crazy that he listens to people's problems all over this country, crazy that he got arrested protesting for civil rights, crazy he spoke out against the peaceful Native Americans that got brutalized at Standing Rock, crazy the he wants to expand Social Security, crazy that he cares about people like you that could care less about the policies we need in this country! You didn't give one actual comment that Bernie said that was really crazy! If you consider someone saying something is BS as them being crazy then that would make just about everyone crazy in this country that uses the word BS. So actually who are you saying isn't mentally ill? Other than you LOL (Note: all of the times I said something was crazy that Bernie was for/against was sarcasm!)

  6246.  @onegosling  So Tulsi says she offered Bernie her endorsement in a PRIVATE CONVERSATION that she don't want to say the rest of it? Heck, that sounds exactly like what Warren said about there being a private conversation where she wanted to accuse Bernie of being sexist but NOT DISCUSS THE REST OF THAT PRIVATE CONVERSATION!! SAY JUST ENOUGH OF A PRIVATE CONVERSATION THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO THINK IS TRUE? LEAVE OUT THE REST, RIGHT? Where context can mean everything. I don't give crap that Tulsi announced before Bernie when Bernie had been building our movement for years and heck no Tulsi had no right to think she could take over what Bernie was building!! Who could even think that? I helped get people to donate to her to get her on the debate stage only to find out I don't even agree with her on some of her policies/record but that's beside the point because all I care about is the SAME STANDARDS being applied to both of them which has clearly NOT been the case with Jimmy Dore, Niko, and others that bashed Bernie too death for years for not going independent when I also heard Tulsi several months ago tell Jimmy Dore she would not go independent but did Jimmy or Niko or others bash her too death for that? Heck, no! Jimmy, Niko, and others also bashing Bernie too death for endorsing Hilary but now when Tulsi endorses Biden, Jimmy goes off on an insane rant making every excuse in the world why it was okay for Tulsi to endorse Biden to the point of even blaming Bernie for Tulsi endorsing Biden LOL He is divisive and a hypocrite and don't know how any Bernie supporter can stand to listen to him! I would like to hear the interview where Tulsi said that but I am not going to take time to look it up.I hate listening to Jimmy but if you have the time on it and the link I will listen to it but even then I would have to hear Bernie's side of it. I am a little disgusted with candidates that want to keep conversations private except for the parts they don't want to keep private! SO THEY DID NOT KEEP THAT PRIVATE CONVERSATION PRIVATE! By the way, I also heard someone say that trust their source that it was NOT true that Tulsi offered Bernie her endorsement. Who knows but bottom line is I do not care!! All I care about is policies and holding candidates to the same standards! Such as I have voted for Bernie for his policies that didn't change not for who he endorsed in the last general so with the same standard I have for Bernie, if Tulsi doesn't change on her policies (although I don't agree with some of them) I don't condemn her for endorsing Biden. That's the same standards I have for BOTH of them! The same standards both of their supporters should have for both of them.

  6254.  @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

  6259. Considering Warren's record before she started running for president not sure why they would be afraid of 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.

  6261.  @EG_UIO  16:15 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..." I don't agree with Richard Wolff on all of his views but on that point, I do. Mike Gravel Interview: Democratic Establishment Strikes Back; How People Take Back Power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2x1gUe1ok4 Approx 46:35 into the video Mike says, He disagrees with Yang passing out a $1.000 a month. Alaska's dividend has to do with oil in the ground. UBI, as Yang is talking about, comes from taxes so I don't see how he can use Alaska for an example anyways! https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/universal-basic-income-experiments-fail/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcoannunziata/2018/07/27/universal-basic-income-a-universally-bad-idea/#7e69b97b3269 https://fee.org/articles/andrew-yang-s-math-doesn-t-add-up-on-universal-basic-income/ https://www.ft.com/content/100137b4-0cdf-11e8-bacb-2958fde95e5e YANG ON CUTTING JOBS....... He plans on cutting 15%-20% of the federal workforce. We shouldn't want to help some people at the expense of hurting others! And if he would cut these jobs how many more jobs would he cut? https://www.yang2020.com/policies/downsizing-federal-workforce/ He wants to pay you $12,000 to replace all of the higher paying jobs. He is all about job loss! That is obvious by him wanting to cut the federal work force and the other jobs that he is pushing for automation to replace instead of trying to create jobs! Some people do still want to work! YANG ON VAT TAX......... Yang supports UBI paid for thru a VAT (value added tax) This was at Yang's website but looks like he took it down? Doesn't matter there is enough evidence to show the real problems with it. "PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Corporations move money around to avoid paying their fair share of taxes The burden of paying for social services falls disproportionately on those who earn the least The Freedom Dividend should be funded by those who benefit most from the structure and work of society" 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/ https://pjmedia.com/trending/the-5-big-problems-with-andrew-yangs-1000-a-month-universal-basic-income-proposal/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/andrew-yang-has-a-great-idea-with-a-terrible-plan 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. Fighting to protect American jobs from the onslaught of automation. Some jobs will be automated of course, but we cannot allow entire work forces to be eliminated. Call me crazy, but I value humans. Have you not seen every science fiction story ever? Letting the robots take over DOES NOT END WELL. https://www.gleib2020.com/issues-2

  6284. Bernie did not lie!! He said he wanted to win on policies and that he would support the nominee. Your hate speech is duly noted. "...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..."

  6292.  @giffjp  You mean like this research.... 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.

  6294. Jim Hart 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!

  6333. 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!

  6363. They (Warren and Bernie) didn't shake hands because they are in a fight? How about calling it the way we saw it, Warren didn't shake hands! It's clear to see that Bernie tried to shake her hand! And it's Warren that wants there to be a fight. They (Warren and Bernie) didn't try to de-escalate their feud? Dang Emma after you said that at least later you said it right that Warren didn't try to de-escalate it! Bernie did try to de-escalate it after he OF COURSE defended his self saying it was not true what Warren said, but Warren is the one that wouldn't have any of it (de-escalate) obvious by HER GOING UP TO BERNIE trying to further escalate it! It was not a feud between them. It was a ugly lie that Warren started and obviously wanted to keep it going. Warren: Bernie is my friend but I will lie about him. Glad I don't have friends like that! 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. Bernie's RECORD, including his VOTING record says EXACTLY what he is and what he isn't! And lets not forget Warren has told other lies! https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/01/the-credibility-gap?fbclid=IwAR0BAJTHhO1SJkfIW2wqkMC7jbwwCj42WibLkrnL-8A1DLv-hN11yAiBYWs Tim Black nails this the best of anyone!

  6379.  @MK-oz2lf  I made it about Jimmy because he also has helped us to NOT get healthcare! Yes, it was about Trump why he does what he does. Bernie does what he does out of genuine concern on doing whatever the best he can get for us. Hypocrites trying to say why it was okay Tulsi endorsed Biden while saying Bernie bent a knee doing the same. Tulsi was not running in 2016. Bernie never had to evolve on certain issues like Tulsi did. Save it defending her with me. I could care less why Jimmy endorsed Tulsi or why Tulsi endorsed Biden because I have the same standards for the candidates. I won't bash Tulsi for something that I don't also bash Bernie for if he does the same. I don't need to look it up. Bernie can't tell Tulsi what to do so regardless of why Tulsi supported Biden if that was okay then it was okay for Bernie to! I am not for UBI regardless if Tulsi or Bernie introduces it. Temp stimulus checks during the pandemic I am for but not UBI and I have posted numerous times on why! I never said Bernie is perfect. I don't expect him to do everything the way I think he should. He is fighting for policies for us and that is what I care about. I am telling you exactly how your words come across to me. I just got through listening to as much as I could stomach from a Independent arguing why most of this country is moderates. This country is so divided it's pathetic while some progressives think they are the only ones that Bernie and other progressives have to consider on why they do what they do. Bernie does not fail to act. He only fails to act the WAY YOU and some others think he should. Again, look at the likes VS the dislikes and stop thinking Bernie is suppose to be all about doing everything like you and some others think he should. I think he should go home and spend whatever time he has left with his family instead of fighting for all the ingrates out there. I wish he was not there now fighting for anything for us. See what people complain about then.

  6380.  @MK-oz2lf  First off if you want me to reply to your questions quote me accurately! I said Jimmy "helped" stop us from getting healthcare and by healthcare I am referring to Medicare for all. Jimmy was not for the ONLY candidate that was for Medicare for all. Not Medicare for some or Medicare for those that want it but Medicare for all. When he bashed Bernie for years while giving Tulsi a pass on the same thing, I read several comments that quoted what Jimmy said as a reason to NOT vote for Bernie and also when Jimmy said he hoped Bernie loses then he was saying he hoped Medicare for all loses since Bernie was for that! Not hard to understand. Of course the major news media, the candidates dropping out endorsing Biden along with Clyburg, Obama's popularity spilling over to Biden (regardless of what you think about Obama he is very popular) and divisive hypocrites all played a part in stopping us from getting M4A! UBI - Who REALLY Benefits? Real Progressives youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRStR-oTJTY UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY Why UBI isn't progressive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV2iMHVPlLE Be careful what you wish for. We got a Republican healthcare plan under Obama. We could easily get a Republican UBI such as the UBI Charles Murray is for which would hurt the middle class and poor more than it would help them. YES UNEMPLOYMENT benefits every person out of work, A FJG, expand existing programs, stop mortgage foreclosures Medicare for all, emergency payments but NO to UBI too many risks with that. You are correct I will defend Bernie when it comes to how he has fought for us mostly alone at that while people like you would destroy the few that are fighting for us because they don't do things exactly like you think they should when the majority of people just don't think like you do! I say again you should run for office and show us all exactly how it should be done since you think you know.

  6381.  @MK-oz2lf  I did not say Jimmy ran for office! I said he helped stop us from getting M4A! By NOT endorsing the only candidate that was for M4A! You do understand VOTERS do have an effect on who wins the primaries and that is what helps determine what policies we get. That is what Jimmy had some effect on. Jimmy must not had minded what he paid out of pocket with him for Tulsi which was for keeping the private insurance companies, too. I am not going down that road with you on why Tulsi was not for Medicare all that I am for and that many others are for! That was hashed out during the primary. It's not the same as Bernie was for and would had kept the insurance companies to keep profiting off of sick and dying people. I have a great friend in Australia so I know about their healthcare system and how MUCH MORE they have to pay to go to the doctor of their choice if it's a different doctor than they have with their Medicare. NO, not everyone benefits off of UBI. I won't take the risk of being for a Charles Murray UBI after actually listening to the UBI debate between him and a progressive against it. As for me running I will be honest! I would NOT go up against what Bernie has, period! I would not fight the major news media, the establishment, Obama, and all the people that are so divided or all the ingrates that I don't think is worth fighting for. So now why don't you run? Many people would say they pay their salaries not just you that think differently than you so which do you think they are suppose to answer to? Those that pay their salaries that have said they expect them to support the nominee! People that pay their salaries that expect them to work with the Republicans? I have had too many people tell me they expect compromise. Until that changes where the majority doesn't want compromise then Bernie is doing exactly what he is paid to do while he does still fight for the policies he is for but he can't make the other politicians be for them, too, like you seem to think so he is going to get us what he can until enough voters vote in enough progressives to give us more that we need unless progressive politicians get destroyed first by people like Jimmy!

  6382.  @MK-oz2lf  Bernie got more donations from veterans than any of the other candidates even with Tulsi being a Veteran so I think that speaks for itself who was/is trusted more. And Bernie got high praises from a Republican, too, for getting bills passed without the credit going to him as well as Bernie being known as the Amendment King. We could go back and forth you singing praises to Tulsi while I do for Bernie but bottom line is I had the same standards for both! I didn't criticize Tulsi for not going Independent because I didn't Bernie. I had no problem she endorsed Biden (give all the reasons you want why it was okay for her but not okay for Bernie but that doesn't fly with me) and I only mention that in the context of OTHERS that had different standards for each of them and in the end all of that did was hurt both of them! Jimmy is a divisive hypocrite and is just as bad IMO as the major news media. You will hold responsible who you feel is at fault and so will I!! I think we have expressed each other's opinions quite thoroughly. And Dr. Cornel West agreed with Bernie on voting for Biden and that Trump was worse. Dr. West pointed out much the same about Trump as Bernie did. You won't hear Dr. West say some of the things you have about Bernie but you will quote Dr. West when it suits you. I just wonder if Dr. West knows of all the the hate that Jimmy has done on Bernie and I doubt seriously he knows that Jimmy said he hoped Bernie loses. That was Jimmy saying he hopes we all lose because that is what happened when Bernie lost. I use to like Jimmy! That is how I know much of what he has said for years but after hearing his hateful rants on Bernie for years but then he gave Tulsi a pass on the same thing he was hating on Bernie for that and when he said he hoped Bernie loses is when I stopped listening. I had enough of his hate. Jimmy runs his mouth when he should run for office if he thinks he knows exactly how things should be done but no, the hypocrite just wants to help destroy the few that are fighting for us just because he can't control them to do what he wants them to. Yes, I do care and that is why I don't hate on the few that are fighting for us just because they don't do everything like I expect them to. You are so right I don't like the hate Jimmy puts out! I never said the country should wait for the right time! I have been for M4A for several years so I thought the right time was several years ago but I know it's going to take a lot more than just a few progressives in office to get that for us.

  6392. Bernie had to support the nominee! But I'm sure you would had loved what they would had done to him if he had broke that contract. He is fighting for the same issues he always has. There will always be people like you that will be ungrateful and find fault. Bernie has stood with union workers protesting with them but go ahead and smear one of the few that really cares! You can put any label on it you want but the policies Bernie has fought for years for while fighting for everyone's right is why I am voting for him! I think some people either didn't follow VP Gore or has amnesia! (Not saying you are one of them). Back when VP Gore had them do recounts he was HEAVILY CRITICIZED for it and a lot of that came from HIS OWN SUPPORTERS so he stopped the recounts. Then in recent years we learn he actually won but have we heard a peep out of VP Gore about that and how they stole it from him? No! Gore would not have anything to lose to bring attention to our voting system needing overhauled! Bernie is not the one that should had brought attention to all of that in the last primary. OTHERS SHOULD HAD AND OTHERS DID!! He has spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. even before it was popular to fight for them on some issues and before Tulsi started being the same on some of those issues. He is still fighting for those same issues. He didn't buy my vote he earned it. But if you think there is another candidate that is more perfect that you agree with on issues then that is who you should vote for. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not his mistakes! Bernie2020

  6438.  @kaymiller5300  Didn't have time to read all of this comment, too, after responding to your other one but I saw the first part so I will answer that on why I trust Bernie and you are wrong to say he knows nothing and has no experience in anything. You are definitely showing just how much you are not smart to not know the good he has done even if you don't agree with his policies that is totally not accurate that he hasn't done anything and that he has no experience. 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. 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. 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders Ok, If I don't have time to continue this discussion I think we have both made our points. Have a nice day!

  6440.  @kaymiller5300  You are telling me Socialism is not the way to go? You are not even smart enough to know it's been here LOL Public education is socialism. Armed forces is socialism. The fire dept is socialism. The police dept is socialism. Social Security is socialism. Medicare is socialism. National parks is socialism. I just hope you are not a hypocrite and call the fire dept if your house is on fire and instead put the fire out yourself since you are against Socialism or if you live long enough to get Social Security make sure you turn it down! Do you even know the countries that have Bernie's policies for decades and did NOT lead to communist countries? I know people in some of those countries (not Venezuela!) and they are very happy with their health care and would never live here! How can anyone be ok with someone dying without the money for health care to try to save their life? I am so glad I am not a Republican anymore! And yes I was one for many years before going Independent. I acknowledged that the problems didn't start with Trump but that he has continued them. WHAT PART OF WHAT I SAID ABOUT OBAMA DIDN'T YOU GET THAT I WAS NOT BLAMING JUST TRUMP AND WROTE TRUMP IS CONTINUING SOME OF THE BAD POLICIES OF OBAMA. I didn't say Trump started it. Sheeesh!! Although Trump has clearly done things that were not good that can't be blamed on Obama! And I even agreed with what you wrote about Hillary. Venezuela.....Did socialism freeze their overseas assets? Did socialism cause them rely on oil revenue instead of diversifying their economy? Did socialism talk private companies into hoarding and smuggling critical resources away from their population? I didn't mind you didn't respond to all of my comments either because I know I wrote a lot, too LOL But this discussion really needs to end because we are not going to change each other's minds and personal insults never work, either. Now, I've spent my short breaks replying to you and did address most everything you wrote so lets both be smart enough to end this LOL

  6467. 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 and said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far. I wonder how they would want to be paid back? Maybe by not following through on Medicare for all. She is all over the place on Medicare for all and said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far.

"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.

  6519. To just back up what Kyle is saying and I don't post this much because I get criticized enough by some Republicans for it (but shoot I get criticized by Dems, too LOL) but I was a Republican for many years! That was the only party I belonged to until so many years back (before Bernie ran) I started seeing so much greed and hate in the Republican party (I woke up!) so I started listening to other politicians and came across this older guy on Brunch with Bernie and thought he sounds like someone that really cares about people. So, thought I'd do some research on him and liked his record fighting for the middle class, senors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. and then listened to him on Ed Shultz being against the TPP, followed him speaking out against Obama's proposed Grand Bargain that includes Social Security cuts until I thought this guy should run for president and well then he did and then I left the Republican party just so I could vote for him! Since my state allows cross overs I wouldn't change to Dems because too much of the same thing in the Dem party with a lot of hate there, too. Sorry it's the truth. Just read some of the mean comments someone gets just because they defend Bernie so I get hit from all sides. I can take the criticism! I just don't have time to respond to it all LOL My point is there are other Republicans like I was that if they heard Bernie's message they would do as I did and vote for him! And some people wonder why I stick with Bernie and defend him in the areas he is not perfect at. I don't agree with him on everything but his record proves he walks the walk on issues that are the most important to me. He has earned my vote not bought it. Bernie2020

  6525.  @pandorasplanners6458  I do like it when people can be civil while disagreeing! I wish you the best, too, however lol You can't steer my vote because I've done a ton of research! Even though trust is a big part of my vote with reasons why I don't trust Yang, I do the research, too, so I can know why his policies are not as good, too! 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.

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.

  6533. Kyle, most everyone on the Internet would know what you are saying if they are a informed voter! Problem is all of the people that's not on the Internet and get their news only from the major news media. Bernie has fought for me and others when many politicians dismissed us so I don't get distracted with all of the lies and smears against him. I know Bernie's record so no one is going to tell me he has no accomplishments without getting a book for a reply LOL So, it doesn't bother me when Bernie calls others his friend. I have friends that we don't agree with politically. I mean even Dr. West shows love to everyone LOL but is laser focused on supporting Bernie and his policies. If someone really cares about people dying because they don't have the money for healthcare or need higher wages, cares about protecting Social Security and our dying planet they would vote for Bernie regardless of who he says his friends are! Where I think Bernie went wrong and some of his supporters. The youth that want student debt relief many of them didn't vote so I don't want to hear any complaints from them. Seniors that need Social Security if they didn't vote for Bernie I don't want to hear any complaints from them, either. Because so many do not answer the phones/doors and not on the Internet and instead getting their news from the major news media Bernie should had done MORE TV ADS with the differences in his policies and Biden's BEFORE Super Tuesday! I think that would had made a difference. All of his ads on Social media are great but that doesn't help those people that are not on the Internet. I won't vote for Biden and I don't care who thinks what of it. I don't vote out of fear, either. Bernie/Nina2020 Receipts

  6538.  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.

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!

Last I heard it's all the people that vote for someone that gets them elected if they win not the ones that don't vote for them! Your talking points is to help YOU feed good about how someone should or should not vote.Trying to shame people into who they should vote for don't work on me. If Trump wins again it will be because of those that vote for him not those that don't vote for him LOL Greater good? Corruption is not the greater good regardless if it's a R or a D beside their name if they take dark money and serve the major corps instead of the people. You do know Biden said he would consider a Republican for his VP? Don't talk to me about the greater good. You are implying you are for evil if you think it's just a little less evil then the next candidate. If that's how you want to vote, fine, but don't lecture me on what my vote means or don't mean. REALITY CHECK: You do know the Dems are voting with the Republicans on most of the bills? It's no wonder Corp Dems don't change! Why do they need to as long as there are voters like you that will vote for them regardless of what their policies are or who their policies hurt. I know my comments will seem harsh to you but you are the one that is implying to me that I am supporting someone I don't even if I don't vote for them so that's what I am replying to. IF the majority of voters don't vote for the best (which I feel is Bernie) don't think you can blame me if we end up with what you think is the worse, Trump. Blame the voters that don't vote for Bernie! If we end up getting Trump. If Bernie don't win the nomination I will vote third party and don't care who thinks what of it. Have a nice day.

  6642. YES UNEMPLOYMENT benefits every person out of work, A FJG, expand existing programs, stop mortgage foreclosures Medicare for all, emergency payments but NO to UBI too many risks with that. Just like we ended up with a Republican healthcare plan under Obama there is that same risk with UBI that we would end up with a Charles Murray UBI version that would hurt the middle class and poor more than it would help them. I won't ever support UBI. Starting around 25:28 "They were fighting for a neoliberal UBI instead of a job guarantee and expanded Social Security because neoliberalism is not progressivism at all. The concept of a Universal Basic Income sounds tasty it's like a nice little salad with all kinds of candies on it until you realize that you're buying capitalist products with your UBI which means the capitalist still controls the price which means the capitalist still controls the supply which means the capitalist still controls whether or not your UBI is enough to afford their goods and services which means your consumption unit which means you have no protections which means you have no standing which means once again you have fallen for the oldest neoliberal an ran trick and it was populism that pushed the UBI. It wasn't common sense and it certainly wasn't knowledge. It was people that were wafer-thin that didn't do the homework that glom on because they're desperate and I get the desperate folks..."

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.

  6695.  @dougcasey6117  You are not paying attention if you don't know how popular Obama is! I don't say that as a supporter of him, either! Bernie would be stupid to go after Obama anymore than he already did such as helping to stop Obama's proposed Social Security cuts! Please don't say this is too long because you ASKED for it! When you asked what has Bernie accomplished and you did say to be specific.... 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! 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! I think it's important to look at a politician's entire record! Not cherry pick just what someone agrees with or disagrees with. Bernie has also accomplished getting more Americans on board with Medicare for all and raising the min wage! He accomplished getting us stimulus checks when they were not going to pass it as well as more for people in this most recent bill passed.

  6716.  @elyenny714  Bernie has called out Biden on so many issues including their differences on their records I can't keep up with WHEN on all of them! And he was fighting for us before it was even politically popular to do so on certain issues risking his own political career so he has always fought for us even if not how some people think he should. Hey, I am not knocking your job! And hope you stay safe out there but I am knocking people that care more about Bernie calling Joe his friend then they do people dying because they don't have the money for healthcare! Now, I am not talking about you on that since obviously you mentioned Medicare for all BUT many are bashing him more on what Bernie doesn't do that they think he should then they are promoting his policies. Bernie won overwhelmingly with voters age 45 to 50 and under ALSO with Independents in several states so they care more about Bernie's policies then they do Biden going on personal attacks. Bernie should had exposed their differences on record and he did that. Bernie lost with older voters that most of them listen only to the major news media that has done nothing but lie and smear him! Even after Bernie exposed Biden on national TV in the last debate on Social Security and in TV ads then who do you think the majority of Floridians said they trusted the most on Social Security? Biden. LOL That proves my point that with older voters that love Obama regardless and Biden regardless since he was Obama's VP there is nothing Bernie could had done to win enough of them. I've talked to enough Biden supporters to know at least how the ones I talked to think. What has hurt Bernie has nothing to do with him not going off on personal attacks. "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

  6718. 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. EXPOSED: Elizabeth Warren's Daughter Had $ Connection to Working Families Party Prior to Endorsement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jugq-wdI_7I 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. 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 ELIZABETH WARREN SAYS SHE WOULD TAKE BRIBES FROM THE 1 PERCENT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itiacoqgdQI

  6727. Richard Wolff does support Bernie but also Warren and Gillibrand. I don't understand him supporting Warren or Gillibrand but Richard Wolff did acknowledge Bernie as being the one that has walked the walk longer than any of the other candidates! I would add to that Bernie is the ONLY one that has walked the walk on ALL of the issues he is running on with a record to show us he won't go back on what he is campaigning on! 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..." PRIMO NUTMEG #189: Richard Wolff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUw8bkRzHEE&t=928s around 1:15:27 into video asking who Richard Wolff supports "I would pick Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren..." He names Gillibrand, too, and goes on to say, "...I have a certain sense that Sanders you know he's been walking the walk and talking the talk and he's done it longer than any of those other candidates and he broke through when it was urgently needed and when no one thought he could do it..."

  6751. You don't know someone won't stop working OR if they will never try to find work if they had a thousand dollars a month. Pure speculation! I don't want UBI but I do want better policy solutions and Yang's ain't it. He's against raising the fed min wage. Against a wealth tax. Thinks Assange should stand trail. Isn't for Medicare for all. Allowing people to keep healthcare insurance is not being for Medicare for all. He would make some of the poorest people have to choose between welfare assistance and UBI while giving it to every wealthy person in addition to their incomes. I know the costs of medical care and a thousand dollars a month doesn't even begin to cover a lot of those costs when Medicare for all is what we need more. 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?

  6804. Weak? What protest have you ever been arrested in? What movement did you ever start for gay rights BEFORE it was politically popular to do so? I dare any person that claims to be for Bernie's policies to run for office and do better! Bernie has NEVER been weak fighting for people's rights and for the policies we need. That's where strength counts the most unless you are for social security cuts, bad trade deals, the Patriot Act, slave wages, and more wars. Bernie's strategy won the first three states! Those voters wanted someone that needs the policies Bernie is fighting for more than they care about Bernie doing personal attacks! And after that Bernie still won overwhelmingly with voters 45 and under AND with Independents in several states. It's older voters the ones that voted for Biden that are weak and don't have the backbone to vote for the changes we need in this country. It took the entire establishment and the corp candidate uniting behind Biden with Clyburg's endorsement to bring Bernie down. Those Corp candidate's had supporters you know? Add all of those together that doesn't want Bernie's policies has nothing to do with Bernie being weak! People love Obama regardless that he didn't give us that change he promised and so the love Biden regardless, too. And FYI Bernie did attack hard exposing Biden on National TV as a liar! Exposed him for wanting to cut Social Security but who do you think Floridians said they trusted most on Social Security? Biden! So that alone debunks people thinking Bernie lost because he didn't attack harder because Bernie did attack hard on that and they still went for Biden!

  6807.  @chucksmoko5348  I don't know who you think you can fool other than people that don't actually know Bernie's policies, his voting record because those of us that know that we don't fall for lies such as yours! 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.

  6812.  dan riley  Show me where I "bragged about my intellect"? You betcha I am closed minded to reading comments I know are smears and lies! And looks like you might be among those liars for saying I bragged about my intellect when I did NOT but having said that, I'm not stupid, either, and I do value the intellect of those people that I agree with on their policies! As for being open minded to policies, changing views been there done that! Have you? Before leaving the Republican party to vote for Bernie after seeing him fighting for some of the issues I care about (would had left sooner if there has been someone like him) and searching his RECORD to find he wasn't just talking the issues I started to care most about but he had decades of CONSISTENCY behind him that showed me I didn't have to worry about him going back on the issues he's campaigning on, (you know like Obama and Trump) even if he couldn't get them all to pass, he would not go back on fighting for them, so I had to be open minded to leave the only party I had been in for MANY YEARS! I don't agree with Bernie on everything! He just comes closer to my views than the others AND with that consistent record, you know the one that polls the highest blowing all of the others away, on who is the most trusted candidate on some of the issues most Americans care about. Now, if you want to say I am closed minded now because I won't vote for someone that don't have a consistent record on the issues I now care now most about, have at it.

  6825.  @jameshumphrey9939  Like I said to you before if you want to post in every thread here about Yang I will counter your post with why I won't vote for Yang! Bernie has enough sense to know that BOTH UBI and Medicare for all would never pass the House and Senate And that we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI! It's more like Yang gangers are too scared to learn the TRUTH about UBI!! 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 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 was saying he would eliminate the safety net which would hurt the poor people more than UBI helps them! It would also hurt the middle class more to not get Medicare for all. 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “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! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  6875. 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. 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!

  6909.  @tasmanianbadger  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.

  6940. Did you ever support Bernie's policies? "...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..."

  6947.  @jameshumphrey9939  Like I said to you before if you want to post in every thread here about Yang and/OR smearing Bernie's plans I will counter your post with why I won't vote for Yang! Bernie has enough sense to know that BOTH UBI and Medicare for all would never pass the House and Senate And that we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI! It's more like Yang gangers are too scared to learn the TRUTH about UBI!! 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 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 was saying he would eliminate the safety net which would hurt the poor people more than UBI helps them! It would also hurt the middle class more to not get Medicare for all. 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “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! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  6959. Why I won't vote for Warren! 1. 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! I won't vote for Pete. either..... One thing is for sure not only do so called Christian Republicans not know what real Christian values are but neither does Pete! "South Bend Politician: I Worked with Pete Buttigieg.

  6966.  @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?
    1
  6967.  @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.

  6968.  @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!

  7014.  @xandercorp6175  I have listened to Yang as well as researched. He is a no vote from me! 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!

  7051.  @Unasstheao  I totally disagree that Bernie losing had anything to do with him not being more specific! But it doesn't get more specific than him exposing Biden on National TV as a liar. Bernie also called out Biden on their other differences, too. A lot of people skip TV commercials which would include them not seeing the ads so a lot more people probably saw that exchange on TV than the ads. But he had ads, too. As far as Bernie losing. After all the other candidates dropped out and supported Biden before Bernie dropped out AND Clyburg's endorsement of Biden which many voters said is what swayed them to vote for Biden. ALSO the whole Bernie and Castro crap the major news media put out is why Bernie lost! Not sure how anyone could think Bernie could recover from all of that. Just like after Hillary and Clyburg started going after NIna, notice how her favorability poll numbers have gone way down! I am not sure how Corp Dems can sway so many voters but they do. I voted for Bernie because of his VOTING record AND him protesting in our behalf for decades! Also, because he doesn't take Corp donations. Not because he didn't do everything the way some people wanted when they wanted and how they wanted. My only argument is we shouldn't be talking negatives about progressive candidates if we want them to win. Progressives are so divided until if that continues we will never have a progressive president. Do you disagree with that? Most people wouldn't go up against what Bernie has for decades and now Nina is having to endure a lot more of their hate.

"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!

  7069. Otto you obviously are not very good at research! 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 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 sucessful in working with people across the Isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHvg32d8l9o

  7078.  @honkpirateroberts9153  First off, if you want to disagree on policy just do that instead of starting off with the lie he's "never worked a real job" when all anyone has to do is google to know you lied and when you do that no one usually cares about what you say after that unless they don't mind someone lying! Free stuff? Are you disputing Amazon and others pay zero in taxes? Amazon Has Paid Zero in Federal Income Taxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7m2gQ2n3IQ You want to gripe where your tax dollars go, fine, some of us like to gripe, too, about it going to endless wars and for the subsides given to those that don't pay any federal taxes! Then some of you anti Berners talk out of both sides of your mouth one min saying he's for all the free stuff then the next min say he's going to raise taxes on the middle class. Which is it? Well, since you obviously don't know Medicare for all would not be free as each of us would be paying for it through taxes but here's the math that so many of you don't get! When premiums, deductibles, co pays, and other out of pocket expenses are ELIMINATED then what we pay though taxes will be a lot LESS than what most of us pay now! I know it takes a math genius to figure it out. I gave up main stream media years ago and that would when I came out of the Republican party when I woke up! LOL so other than short clips on youtube if a caption interest me I don't watch main stream media anymore. Sorry to disappoint you LOL As for Bernie's other plans he says how to pay for them, too!

  7121.  @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!

  7122. 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.

  7132.  @ant9228  "Controls" as in they watch them 24/7 everything they eat/drink? I find that hard to believe. I say again, if someone finds it is healthier for them to be solely on a plant based food diet that does not mean it would be healthy for anyone else! Diet is not a one size fits all! The only legit claim you can make is what diet is healthier for you! What a doctor tells their patient is the best diet is between them and their doctor. There are doctors that have told their patients to eat lean beef and I sure would not tell them any differently. There is no study on this earth that can prove someone had negative health effects from eating small amounts of lean beef occasionally when they were avoiding processed foods, sugar, chips, pastries, other junk foods. It doesn't exist where it could be proven. I have noticed some vegan sites are now having disclaimers there that they are not trying to take the place of medical advice because they know some people are not healthy solely on a vegan or plant based (same thing) diet. https://www.amazon.com/Defending-Beef-Case-Sustainable-Production/dp/1603585362?tag=theindep0f-20&ascsubtag=IN|8202121|1603585362 "The author―a longtime vegetarian―goes on to dispel popular myths about how eating beef is bad for our bodies. She methodically evaluates health claims made against beef, demonstrating that such claims have proven false. She shows how foods from cattle―milk and meat, particularly when raised entirely on grass―are healthful, extremely nutritious, and an irreplaceable part of the world’s food system." I am not dictating to anyone what diet they should or should no be on! I am only pushing back when someone seems to imply that someone else has to be on a meat free diet in order to be healthy. That may or may not be the case for a certainly individual but it's not up to us to tell someone that it is or that it isn't. But for me a 100% plant based diet is totally unhealthy.

  7167. Yang is wishy washy on Medicare for all.... "Such a plan — Medicare for All alongside private health insurance — has received support from former Vice President Joe Biden, Reps. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Tim Ryan of Ohio, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who dubbed the proposal "Medicare for All who want it." https://www.salon.com/2019/07/07/medicare-for-all-single-payer-expanding-obamacare-whats-the-difference/ Medicare for all for those that want it is not Medicare for all. He had at his website for awhile that he supported Medicare for all OR some new health care system so he's definitely wishy washy on Medicare for all. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/436162-medicare-for-all-where-2020-dems-stand Yang, a former tech executive, supports moving “in the direction of a single-payer system,” either through expanding Medicare or “creating a new health care system” entirely. And here are some facts that show Yang's UBI won't do everything he says..... 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.

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! On YT Channel The Progressive Voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYcZAJIt-lo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpKiz8ghDTY

"This is important because people need to understand how to talk about Socialism in a way that especially Democratic Socialism in a way that's not scary! First of all Capitalism means that your work life is all governed by what's good for shareholder profit, right? It's good for the owner, it might not be good for the employee. The problem is America is a nation of employees, right 95 percent of the people who work work for somebody We all have like 95 percent of the people that have bosses. There's no shame in having a boss that's a small business in the United States is 500 employees or less. It makes me wonder if black people owned any big business like do you know any black person that has 500 employees? So we don't even know like what a regular business is like in terms of ownership right so again capitalist economy it's organized for the owners which is great, right, I like Capitalism in some way isn't going to desegregate my school, it's not going to keep my water clean, it's not going to like it's not going to provide all jobs for all of my people but it's going to produce some pretty nice phones and stuff right so I like Capitalism to an extent I just don't expect it to do everything right and then you have like people like well.... Socialism is kinda like Communism? NO, Communism is where the party boss TELLS YOU what to do! Communism is what I'm scared of it's gonna is what's going to happen at the DNC when the super-delegates come in and like over rule the will of the people that so if there's a Communist element in in American politics it's party bosses over ruling Democratic rights it's with the super-delegates it's with Tom Perez right. Democratic Socialism is about securing people's rights but not just property rights also employment rights also the right to clean water people have to understand that and when the Nation was founded in 1776 when they were designed in the Constitution it was under the assumption that everyone was going to be self employed...... if you wanted to be self employed you could be self employed we had an infinite amount of land and this is pre-industrial society right so you has an infinite amount of land all you had to do is be willing to kill a few Native Americans and not only that this is pretty industrial so the big factory the faculty of like Adam Smith in the wealth of nations all that factory they're thinking of that could be so great as an engine of growth that factor was ten people yeah so this was before the cotton gin before we considered black people employees so they didn't think about a nation of employees when securing our rights so we need not just an ordination of spouses right right so like spouses were considered property so like we need not just property rights... but we also need to talk about employee rights we also need to talk about family rights we also need to talk about environmental they weren't concerned about environmental destruction they weren't thinking well you know the economy if we just leave it up to all of these industrial if we just leave it all these self employed entrepreneurs they're going to screw up the economy no that wasn't a worry about them because they didn't have to worry about industrial waste because this is a pre industrial society so we need to talk about all of these other rights.... so what Democratic Socialism does is actually get all of these other rights into the conversation so we can talk about property rights to talk about labor rights to talk about environmental rights we talk about healthcare rights because the goal of a free society a self determined society is that people can actually make a plan for their lives and then enact that plan without some sort of tyranny.... so whereas the founders were worried about the tyranny of King George and some foreign Parliament 's telling them what to do we have to worry about the Tyranny of our boss I have to worry about my boss making a bad move that's definitely another kind of tyranny that's not a tyranny that the worst that the founders were worried about. They were worried about King George but I'm worried about my boss being in a bad mood eating something getting in a fight with his old lady so he then comes and gets on my case about something that's another kind of tyranny. There's this book called a Private Government by Elizabeth Anderson and in there she has a story about a Amazon warehouse where these people working in Amazon warehouse and Amazon makes the decision where instead of installing a HVAC system a heating and cooling air condition system they have ambulances waiting outside so when people faint they can just rush them to the hospital it's cheaper that way so instead of that I want workers I still want Amazon because I like hit my buttons and stuff get delivered to me I just want workers to be able to negotiate their working conditions to not be under the tyranny of an like of some bean-counter from McKenzie that says well, it's cheaper if we just have ambulances outside and then and then not install a HVAC system right so these are the kind of rights we need to talk about and only get into the discussion like in Democratic Socialism..." End of Irami Osei Frimpong quote 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 the one cozying up to Communist around the world. Not Bernie Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump! Trump praises Kim Jong Un North Korea as 'very honorable' https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/24/trump-praise-kim-jong-un-547610 "Unlike Donald Trump lets be clear I do NOT think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend. I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Putin not a great friend of mine!" Bernie Sanders on 60 Minutes.

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.

  7236. Trump had no political record to show he would do anything he was campaigning on and what happened? Trump went back on a lot of what he campaigned on. Now, here comes Yang out of nowhere with no political record to show he would do anything he says so it's nothing less than blind support for his supporters to support him and taking into consideration his flip flops, amendments, or whatever you want to call them, he could go back to this original positions for all anyone knows! There has been a lot of important votes in congress and we have no idea how Yang would had voted on any of them and that is just a FACT! The Republican referred to on this video seemed sincere although I disagree with automation being as bad as Yang is making it out to be! With Yang, it's the same fear mongering that's been for decades. Jobs can be created to work with automation and even regulations to make sure all of the robots are not turned loose tomorrow. Some Republican comments I've read that are for Yang because they WANT him to eliminate the safety net. They want Charles Murray's UBI version that would eliminate even Medicare and Medicaid so they are hoping that can be accomplished through Yang and even though it depends on which Yang interview you listen to on what he says, he made it clear to Rubin when he didn't push back on what Rubin said about eliminating the safety net, but rather agreed with him and then went on to say he just 'wouldn't do it all at once". So, it could very well end up Charles Murray's UBI version would be passed that would eliminate the safety net including eliminating Medicare and/or Medicaid. I have done a lot of research on Yang's UBI and other views and when I say research that means on BOTH sides! Not just the one side more Yang supporters want people to research that would agree with Yang but research on Yang AND opposite views where my conclusion is the same as those that don't believe UBI would do what Yang says but one of the best comments I read is from Richard Wolff when he said, "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 on Yang VS Bernie

  7248.  @cwazyazn  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

  7302.  Christien du Preez  Never accomplished anything? Boy are you either purposely trying to lie or very uninformed! 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

  7305.  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

  7314. Bernie didn't roll over for the establishment! Stop acting like he is some kind of god that could control what the other candidates did when they dropped out before Bernie did and endorsed Biden or like Bernie could had did anything when Clyburg endorsed Biden. Not to mention how the news media helped older voters believe Bernie is a communist. If he had rolled over he would had taken corp donations, duh! He didn't roll over when he was for gay marriage when most every other politician and MOST Americans were against it. He risked his political career at that time coming out for gay rights when most were against it. Bernie didn't roll over and keep quiet while peaceful Native Americans were being brutalized while most of the other politicians were quiet. He didn't roll over and vote to take some of our freedoms away like most of the others did on both sides voting for the Patriot Act. He didn't roll over when Obama got most Dems on board for Social Security cuts and instead started a movement that helped stop those cuts! He didn't roll over and vote for the Iraq war that most of the others wanted. Not to mention him standing with workers on picket lines, or when he got arrested protesting for civil rights. He sure didn't look like he was rolling over, either, when he exposed Biden on National TV as a liar! Bernie didn't roll over with all of that and he hasn't rolled over now. People need to stop thinking one person that is fighting mostly alone for us can accomplish everything they want, how they want, and when they want. If you can do better you should run for office and do better!!

  7351.  @CooloutAC  Bernie is not a typical politician! And his record tells us he won't go back on what he is campaigning on! 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.

  7353.  @CooloutAC  I am not in a fantasy land FYI I have worked with people for years even though I am not on welfare I know a lot of people that are! And buddy I also know a lot of them don't really try! They fill out the application and the first time turned down many won't keep trying and that is their own fault. People that are really disabled they can get a disability attorney and they don't have to pay if they don't win and when they do win they go back to when the application was filed on the amount they receive which can be a good sum. And the health benefits they get are very good, too! Full UBI is not stacked on top of people getting Social Security Supplemental Disability income! Stop spreading false information! Yes, I pay taxes and I have a right to say where I want my taxes to go, too! And it's sure not for Yang's UBI. I won't even go there with your Republican talking point about Bernie being a commie. You are really desperate to get Yang support to even say that!! Directly from Yang's website......... "SSDI is based on earned work credits. SSI is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and the Freedom Dividend. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the Freedom Dividend, those who are legally disabled would have a CHOICE between collecting SSDI and the Freedom Dividend, OR collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous." end of quote. Yang makes it clear people some people would have to make a choice so make sure your comments reflects that but as many flips as Yang has done who knows which one of those positions will end up being the one he goes with! One of the ones he sure hasn't flipped on at all is the one where the wealthy gets UBI regardless of what their incomes are or where it comes from!

  7394.  @don3465  Thank you for showing you are not very informed or intentionally smearing Bernie and for allowing me to prove you are wrong in implying Bernie has done nothing.... 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

  7400. If Bobby doesn't win and then if we wake up to a w. e. f. tre@ty and all that goes with that those that didn't vote for him might wish they had UNLESS they will be happy owning nothing and not being allowed to buy what they want where they want. Bobby is against the w. e. f. and all that goes with that. He wants to el!m!nate the P@tr!ot @ct. Those are the reasons I will vote for him. MY priorities are THIS COUNTRY, the serious issues HERE and OUR Border. There can be more than one perspective on the same issue! Bobby totally believes what he does. He didn't start having his views on this when he started running. He had them for many years. Max is bias and I have to wonder what his motives are? His father is A former aide to President Bill Clinton, he is a long-time confidant of Hillary Clinton and was formerly employed by the Clinton Foundation. What does that have to do with Max? That would depend on how much influence his dad has. Whether it's intentional OR NOT Max is being a tool for the DNC! When it comes to Israel some things are true on one side some things are true on the other side. There is conflict on both sides. Max is anti Israel. He is giving you the Palestine perspective. On the Israel side they will tell you they feel threatened so yes they respond and it's a big problem but it's not black and white. When someone like Max says everything someone says is a l!e repeating that over and over on any issue it sounds like propaganda? why isn’t Max attacking Biden and Trump for supporting Israel? Trump is a huge No@h!de L@w supporter which is more pro Israel than Bobby is! M@ver!ck N e w s did a much better job in their v!de0 on this.

  7428.  @kanamehokuto4099  I go by a person's record, period! Whether it's yang or anyone else running for president! Just like I had to look up and know Bernie's record on the issues I care about before I left the Republican party to vote for him. Warren has a political record for someone to decide if they agree with it or not! I mentioned her since you wrote Yang's record is cleaner than hers when you don't know how Yang would had voted on anything to compare him to her. Like I said there is no way to know for sure how Yang would vote on any of the issues and him lying to help him gain support doesn't give trust at all. Trump had no political record for everyone to judge if he could be trusted to keep his campaign promises and we all see how that's turned out with him going back on some of them. You missed the part of my comment, "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!" Just like Yang trying to gain support to make people think he's for Medicare for all, he and his supporters talk about people that were for UBI that was NOT the same version as yang! It's totally disingenuous to imply they would be for Yang's version unless they have specifically endorsed his version. Hello! The over 200 economists I referred to support BERNIE'S M4A bill and have signed to raise the min wage to $15. I heard one CONSERVATIVE economist has supported Yang's UBI which just further's my suspicion on the risk of Charles Murray's UBI version being passed which would hurt the middle class and poor more than it would help them! Things are too serious for me to be open to someone that comes out of nowhere, has been disingenuous, trying to buy votes and that I know their policies are not better! As many changes as he has made no one can know for SURE he won't go back to his original ones or new ones, period. I don't make excuses for liars! As for the billionaires that have donated to Yang you sure didn't look very hard. Took me less than a minute to pulls this up. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2020/12/30/here-are-the-billionaires-donating-to-andrew-yangs-presidential-campaign/#3ffd2686135d

  7466.  @pietersteenkamp5241  I don't trust Warren or Biden, either! My apologies that I am not sure what you responded to on my other post, not because I didn't read it or reply but simply because a lot of times I just don't remember the names of who I reply to or that replies to me since I read/reply to so many comments LOL but as far as who gets the impression on Yang eliminating the safety net really depends on which interview you believe that Yang did. This was pretty clear to me and my apologies if I already gave you this quote.... 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.

  7485.  Mike Godwin  Do you have reading problems? I said EXACTLY why I care even though it's no skin off my back because I care about others! Not just myself! 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!

  7487. I disagree with Yang on not raising the min wage! Over 200 economists have signed a petition for raising the min wage to $15! I Disagree with him on automation even though it's here, it's not here the way Yang makes it out to be. I do think he would accelerate it. 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 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 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!

  7500.  @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.

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

  7511.  @ashesofwhatremains  Wow, 13 years, that's a long time 😟 Yes, it's unfair what you, I, and so many others go through while wealthy people have no clue except for a few that actually care but certainly not many. I am just as upset as anyone over not having Medicare for all and guess that's partly why I am so upset at Jimmy Dore because I really do hold him just as responsible as the major news media on us losing our best chance on getting it when IMO Dore helped to cause Bernie to lose. I heard too many Republicans repeat Jimmy's words as a reason to not vote for Bernie. It would had come across more as Dore pressuring them instead of trying to destroy them IF he had held the same standards for all of them during the primary. I came out of the Republican party after researching Bernie's record finding out he has actually fought as much as one man mostly alone could for us for decades but I can tell you this and you can take it for whatever you want but if I had came across Jimmy Dore first and listened to him instead of searching Bernie's record I would not had voted for Bernie. Why isn't Jimmy Dore heading up all of his followers to protest in large numbers outside of these people's offices instead of just ranting and raving running his mouth? I just bet many of the ones that are criticizing Bernie that most would never go up against what Bernie has! If they thought they could do better they would run for office and do better. Bernie is not perfect! I've said that many times but he is more perfect than the others that were running with a voting record to prove it but progressives are so divided that until more progressives unite behind one real progressive instead of trying to destroy them if they don't do things the way they think they should we will never have a progressive president. I really do hope things get better for you!

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.

  7550.  @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."

  7586.  @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..."

  7587.  @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.

  7602.  @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.

  7607.  @cloo7525  You want free money from the government with no strings attached is being dependent on the government which is no different than those of us that want Medicare for all knowing that's better than free cash and some of us actually want to work for our incomes. 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.

  7615.  @dadoof2203  By the way, just to be clear, I don't agree with Bernie on everything or his entire record but he comes closer to my views with a consistent record to back it up and one thing is for sure I know Bernie is not a communist! Not even close. Now, I am not saying you are a Trump supporter but just in case you are..... 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.

  7698.  @thecoolannishatk.  Does not stack on SSI.... "But to receive UBI, citizens would have to choose between the $1,000 or any existing welfare benefits—potentially including Social Security, disability insurance, food stamps, and housing assistance. And it’s unclear whether Yang’s UBI would be worth that trade-off for many low-income families, instead leaving the program as a boost to middle- and upper-income people." https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/04/what-andrew-yangs-universal-basic-income-would-actually-look-like/ "But if you opt-in, then you’re choosing to forgo benefits from pre-existing welfare programs." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meet-andrew-yang-democratic-candidate-230041384.html "For Americans currently benefiting from cash or cash-like programs like Social Security Disability Insurance, food stamps, or Section 8 housing assistance, Yang would offer a CHOICE between the existing welfare state and the Freedom Dividend, in hopes that no one would be left worse off." https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/americans-are-already-trialling-universal-basic-income/11030920 In Yang’s plan, people would be able to DECIDE whether to keep their current disability support OR opt for basic income. https://usbig.net/democratic-president-candidate-andrew-yang-is-running-on-universal-basic-income/ "Those already receiving that amount in welfare and government-sponsored programs would have the option to CHOOSE between one program or the other, thereby reducing the welfare budget." https://futurism.com/how-universal-basic-affordable 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!

  7706.  @polara01  Bernie did defend Tulsi against Hillary's attacks and never said anything negative about her! Bernie was not a Senator when he was arrested for peacefully protesting for civil rights! You don't have to be a politician to do show your support for people. I know what Tulsi did on the debate stage which was no better than when Bernie exposed Biden on National TV as a liar. When Tulsi was against gay rights as the majority of Americans and politicians were Bernie risked his political career speaking out in behalf of gay rights. Out of Tulsi's own mouth when she left the Dem party calling them warmongers when she didn't say the same about Republicans when they are the same! Trump continued with Military strikes, the war in Yemen, etc. so there is no difference. If Tulsi was speaking out against BOTH instead of going on her little lime light tour with the Republicans I could at least have a little respect for her leaving the Dem party. If Tulsi ran with Trump I would have absolutely no respect for her! Bernie has called out a lot with both parties! He didn't want to do anything that would help Trump win. I understood that as did Dr. Cornel West that said he was voting for Biden to get rid of Trump. Yes, Tulsi continued to stay in the military serving when she is so against all of these wars. LOL Yeah, right! I don't care who you supported or when. Bernie's record speaks for itself. Not perfect, no, but a heck of a lot more perfect than most if not all of the rest of them. People like you sound like you are part of the Dore brainwashing crowd! Dore is one of the biggest most divisive hypocrite=different standards for different candidates than anyone I know. People like you go after Bernie more than they did/do Clyburg, the major news media, or any of the rest of them that went after Bernie. Most wouldn't go up against half of what Bernie has for half of the time he has and you call him a coward. You should run for office so we can see you accomplish all of those things you expected Bernie to. Or are you a coward? Wanting someone else to do everything the way you want, when you want, and how you want, while sitting on the sidelines criticizing one of the few that has gone up against both parties and one of the few that has a long record on the side of the people.

There is NO way you can say what shape this country or world would be in if Trump were still president or are you claiming to be some kind of physic!? I do not like Biden at all. If anything I would say NOW one is just as bad as the other. Not that either one is worse than the other but I totally understand everyone has their reasons based on facts, too, why they think one is the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil IMO and I don't make excuses for any of it like you appear to be doing despite you saying you aren't a fan of Trump LOL Whether it was Trump vetoing the stop the war in Yemen Act that was killing innocent people including children and babies or Biden with his war like actions! There is no difference! Trump continued all the Military strikes even more of them when he became president. You are the one drunk off of propaganda trying to say what this world would be like now if Trump was president when he is not and there is no way on earth anyone could know that! You are lying, too, if you say I go along with the DNC as I have never said anything like that. I said one is as bad as the other! Now, if you don't know what that means then you need to come off of whatever you are drinking. I support Bernie because of what he has done for people and for his record that while I don't agree with all of it I agree with enough that I support him. I don't agree with any one politician on everything. I have never been a Dem but I have been a Republican for many years before I became an Independent.

Do you think Noam Chomsky has no common sense??? Do you not remember what he said about Trump? And if what I read is correct Noam Chomsky said in 2020 that he believes Trump is "the worse criminal in Human History"! I don't know if I agree with that or not but my point is there are people on both sides of this with who is worse? Who is the greater evil? And don't think you are so gifted to be the absolutely correct one in your OPINIONS on what you THINK or who you agree with on what they THINK. Now, we could go back on forth on who we THINK has the most common sense but again you are showing the least common sense of all to talk about something you can NOT have any way of KNOWING! A lot of things could had happened if Trump had got president again. No one can know for sure. The very same could be happening with Trump or worse or better. THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING! I am a realistic not some kind of dreamer or psychic. I see you are still trying to convince yourself because you KNOW your OPINIONS are going nowhere with me! You said I was not being honest in one of my comments but when I ask you for a link to exactly what I was talking about to PROVE it I don't see where you did that? If you are going to tell someone they aren't being honest you should be able to PROVE it not just make false allegations! You can also have no way of KNOWING what the economy would had been with Trump, either, since we were just starting with covid but once again I am sure you think you have some kind of special psychic powers to know that, too LOL And ANOTHER one of your special psychic powers now you claim to see into what the future would had been with Bernie if he were president. You see what you want to see for whatever reason but for sure it's not based on FACTS!! Too many times Bernie has gone against both parties for me to entertain that terrible thinking of yours. There is not but so much a president can do without bills passing for them to sign but there is no way on earth you will make me believe he would sign any bills that goes against what he has been trying to get for decades and that goes against his voting record. Go back to your cult leader Jimmy Dore IF that is where you are getting your brainwashing thoughts from.

  7714.  @polara01  Thank you Dr. Polara01 for your diagnosis of Noam Chomsky! Wow. a psychic and a medical doctor, too LOL Some people do like to give that mental diagnosis to Trump, too, but since I am not a doctor I will refrain from that conversation! Call me names, or imply anything you want about my comments just because I stick to facts and you don't you are indeed trying to come across as a know it all (which you are not!) and I am tired of this, too, so take your opinions, diagnosis, psychic readings to someone that can appreciate them because I do NOT! I didn't respond to your 9/11 comments because you went off topic. That is a whole different subject! You didn't respond to my comment for you to provide PROOF of the false accusation you said I was dishonest at. That would had called for a reply from you much more than my going along with you on changing the subject. You highly doubt LOL There you go again and you have the nerve to call my comments juvenile because I don't play by your comments that are not based on anything other than what you think and yes some others agree with you while others do not. Trump did also say we should all take that jab but no I didn't follow him or Biden on that, either. Sorry, not sorry, to disappoint you on that one 😁 I am NOT a leftist but hey don't let truth get in the way of your comments. You think you know everything else you might as well THINK you know that, too. That really says it all the false things you say about me makes it easy to think a lot of the rest of what you say would be false, too, if Trump were still president, IF Bernie were president, IF IF IF LOL No worries I won't even come back to read any more replies you make if you make anymore and that way I won't feel like I need to reply again to whatever other predictions you want to make or allegations. Bye!

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..."

  7777.  @aligatork  Do you know your same comment came out 5 times? I know all about the rigging in the last primary and Bernie called it out! There goes that hypocrisy that I hear from other Tulsi supporters, too, bashing Bernie for not having the backbone to go Independent when Tulsi said twice she won't go Independent or did you miss that part of my previous comments? So guess she has no backbone, too, right? Dang, I hate hypocrisy! And if all of you are right about the election problems do you think those will be automatically solved if Bernie goes Independent? LOL I am not for Tulsi's domestic policies AND she is no more anti war than Bernie is! Ever heard of Codepink? The largest anti war organization! "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." End of quotes from Codepink Now, they go on to point out Bernie's imperfections, so I am NOT saying Bernie has a perfect anti war record but I am saying Tulsii doesn't have a perfect anti war record, either! Now you are obviously not paying attention to what I have said and posted included facts so I would be just wasting my time to reply to you anymore.

  7796.  @MrHarpguitarist  You accused me of making an incorrect statement that was not incorrect, why should I continue any discussions with you? NO, they don't have the choice of KEEPING THEIR Welfare assistance AND getting UBI so that is not a choice THEY can make! Raising the min wage is suppose to help people that are WORKING, duh! Not stay at home moms or the unemployed. There are other programs for that. As for the VAT even Yang has acknowledged there are problems to be solved with a VAT. You trust Yang to solve those problems, fine, don't expect everyone else to. I've done research in addition to not trusting Yang, his policies are not the best solutions, period. 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.

  7797.  @MrHarpguitarist  You idiot that was Yang's talking point not mine LOL He is the one that has it written at his website there are problems to be solved with the VAT. DIRECTLY FROM HIS WEBSITE: "PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Corporations move money around to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. The burden of paying for social services falls disproportionately on those who earn the least. The Freedom Dividend should be funded by those who benefit most from the structure and work of society." Like I said you trust him to solve those problems, fine, don't expect everyone else to! I've already showed a lot of research while you have showed nothing! 144 references went into that UBI report I posted take your arguments with them AND the over 200 economists that signed a petition to raise the fed min wage to $15 that Yang is against AND the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all Bill and there's more people below you can take your arguments up with because I'm done now with you! I have done research to back what I've said. All you have done is go by your opinions. 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 what he believes 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 supporter 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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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. 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..."

  7798.  @MrHarpguitarist  You sure don't mind misquoting someone, do you? I never said economists don't support UBI but what I did say is tell me if one supports Yang's VERSION of UBI because there are different versions of UBI and unless they have directly endorsed Yang you can not honestly say they support HIS version! I will be happy to look at your sources if you tell me they are economists that endorse Yang's VERSION of UBI otherwise very disingenuous! As some economists support UBI under certain conditions such as with a FJG or others that would have it but not stack on any social programs or even as Nixon proposed UBI with a WORK REQUIREMENT and only for couples with children so that's dishonest to imply Nixon would be for Yang's version! So, if I am going to take time to look at your sources I need to know they endorse YANG AND HIS VERSION!? Otherwise I won't waste my time. The economists I quoted have endorsed BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill and over the over 200 economists that signed the petition for raising the fed min wage to $15 is the same as Bernie wants to raise it to. If the economists you posted are not supporting Yang's version of UBI it would be the same as if I quoted economists that were for raising the min wage but didn't give a dollar amount the same as Bernie's OR if I gave economists that were for Medicare but wanted to keep private insurance for those that wanted it but I imply they would be for Bernie's universal healthcare. They need to be for the same versions!

  7800.  @MrHarpguitarist  You said there are economists that support UBI as if to imply they are supporting Yang and his version? Are there any? Engineering and technology is great but I will take economists opinions over that when it comes to running an entire country. Just as soon as you are able to prove that detailed recent UBI REPORT WITH BOTH PROS AND CONS with 144 references (I'm not one of them) going into that report is not accurate, I said prove, then tell me what UBI would do since that report clearly shows it won't do what Yang and you supporters are saying! Oh, now you go off on fear mongering on automation! It's here yes, but not like Yang says it is. I know research that doesn't show Yang is right you are not interested in but just to show I have researched that, too, and again this is not my quotes or my sites!

  7803.  @MrHarpguitarist  From what I heard Bernie only said he would look into UBI. He never ran on it so how could he flip on it? LOL Just because someone looks into something doesn't mean they will end up for it. I never heard Bernie say he was for it but feel free to send me the video of him if he ever said he was actually for it, not thinking about it or looking into it because if he didn't say he was for it then he didn't flip! A lot of people look into a candidate's record or lack of record. Looking into it does not mean they supported the candidate they were looking into. Yang ACTUALLY said there was a cap on age but flipped. ACTUALLY said people on SSA would not get both that and UBI but then he flipped. He actually did not push back on Rubin saying why not blow up the safety net but then in other interviews said he wouldn't eliminate the safety net. He said he was for Medicare for all but then said people could keep their private insurance if they wanted it and that is not Medicare for all. Those are actual changes, flip flops, from what Yang actually is running on. Friedman was the worst you could had given to me for an example and I already knew that because it's at Yang's website. Friedman wanted to replace welfare assistance with UBI and I would never be for that and if Bernie ran on that he would lose my support! Considering all the research I've done and when I do research it is on both sides even though I don't look into every source on both sides that exists I feel like what i have is more than creditable and yes, I do take the economists over the references you gave all things considered. I haven't checked out for anything more recent on the raising the fed min wage but even though that's 3 years old? I would think they could withdraw that petition if they are no longer for that. According to that full UBI very detailed report that had BOTH THE PROS and the cons with 144 references and all of the other research I've done Yang's UBI proposal is not better than Bernie's. And that's not all of my research, either, but it's enough to back up why I don't support Yang along with him not having a political record on the issues that are most important to me.

  7804.  @MrHarpguitarist  Now, who is doing long messages? LOL Or several short messages to equal a long one. I did listen to the video, The first clip Bernie said something about it raises the question on UBI. Definitely no commitment there! The second one of Bernie, how quickly Bernie got cut off after saying, I do! I have gone to great lengths to have entire quotes that I have given when Yang was saying something I disagreed with on interviews! So, if someone disagreed with my interpretation of what Yang said, it would not look like I purposely left out something someone would take differently than me. For all I know after Bernie said, I do, he could had said BUT and gave a reason why not now or he doesn't think that is the best policy to have. I mean I have no idea what Bernie said after that? Not good to quickly cut someone off like that. So without knowing the rest of what Bernie said, I will just stick with he hasn't ran on UBI for Senator or President. I followed him very closely during the last primary and heard all of the debate. He never said he was running on UBI so he hasn't flipped on any issues that he is running on! Warren has been wishy washy on Medicare for all and other parts of her record I don't agree with. I would argue in this country I do not support the insurance industry making millions or is it billions off of sick and dying people! In other countries they have had universal health care for so long that I doubt their insurance companies ever profited off of sick and dying people the way this country has! Right now very few doctors take Medicaid and not all take Medicare. It would be the same with Medicare for all we might not get the doctor we want if they don't accept Medicare. If we had Medicare for all then doctors would have to take that or no longer be a doctor! While Bernie acknowledges automation he doesn't fear monger on it. He gives solutions to offset the impact like what has been done for decades. As for why I am not for replacing existing social and welfare programs to keep this from being longer this person in this video that tells why I agree with him! I know I was long but it could had been longer LOL I'm sure you won't like this video but it answers the question you asked me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY

  7806.  @MrHarpguitarist I listened to all of the debate so I don't need that. I had already done research on automation and my apologies if I already posted this. I didn't have time to go back to see but after this I am done here because I have so many replies I have replied to until I am forgetting who I said what to LOL I think we have both made at least most of our points.... 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."

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." Peace out.

  7823.  @web-angel  I listened to Jimmy for months before I couldn't stomach him anymore so you don't need to preach to me why you think he is right in his attacks on Bernie! Tulsi defended Biden's racist record when Bernie didn't! She defended Ellen being friends with a war monger and I did NOT say Tulsi defended a war monger, I said she defended Ellen being friends with one! And how many votes did Tulsi gain when she took out Kamala? Bernie was winning with his strategy and in fact he won the first three states without the personal attacks. It took the entire establishment coming together to take him down. Bernie still won with voters 45 and under as well as with Independents. They voted for Bernie for his issues, his policies, not because they wanted him to fight the way Jimmy, or you, or others wanted him to. And taking the gloves off wouldn't had gained him anymore support with older voters. Which is exactly why I voted for Bernie for his policies not for him to be an attack dog! "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 quote Why doesn't Jimmy or even you run for president since you think you know exactly how to win? Anyone that knows Bernie knows he wants to win on policies so if that was not good enough Jimmy should support someone else. Oh, wait, he did and she isn't winning, either, so all of Jimmy has done is help keep us from winning the policies we need with his divisiveness AND hypocritical rants! "We've got to first begin with ourselves are we willing to make sure we revel in the humanity of other people even when we disagree with them to give them the benefit of being right or wrong recognizing we could be right or wrong and then pursuit a dialogue together...all of us have varies kinds of blindness all of us have various kinds of shortcomings.....all of us have failures try again fail again fail better try again fail again fail better all of us have certain elements of failure built inside of who we are the question is can we accent the best of who we are because all of us have some real potential..."

  7831.  @jameshumphrey9939  Yang never did anything for anyone other than throw money at them and hire people on jobs! He's no political leader has no experience in ALL the DIFFERENT areas it takes to be president and with all of the votes in the House and Senate we have no idea how he would had voted on any of them and that's just a FACT! 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!

Yang also clearly neglects to mention outsourcing has caused a lot of job loss, too! 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? 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!

"His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s.

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. http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf

  7859. 16:15 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..." I don't agree with Richard Wolff on all of his views but on that point, I do. Mike Gravel Interview: Democratic Establishment Strikes Back; How People Take Back Power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2x1gUe1ok4 Approx 46:35 into the video Mike says, He disagrees with Yang passing out a $1.000 a month. Alaska's dividend has to do with oil in the ground. UBI, as Yang is talking about, comes from taxes so I don't see how he can use Alaska for an example anyways! https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/universal-basic-income-experiments-fail/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcoannunziata/2018/07/27/universal-basic-income-a-universally-bad-idea/#7e69b97b3269 https://fee.org/articles/andrew-yang-s-math-doesn-t-add-up-on-universal-basic-income/ https://www.ft.com/content/100137b4-0cdf-11e8-bacb-2958fde95e5e YANG ON CUTTING JOBS....... He plans on cutting 15%-20% of the federal workforce. We shouldn't want to help some people at the expense of hurting others! And if he would cut these jobs how many more jobs would he cut? https://www.yang2020.com/policies/downsizing-federal-workforce/ He wants to pay you $12,000 to replace all of the higher paying jobs. He is all about job loss! That is obvious by him wanting to cut the federal work force and the other jobs that he is pushing for automation to replace instead of trying to create jobs! Some people do still want to work! YANG ON VAT TAX......... Yang supports UBI paid for thru a VAT (value added tax) This was at Yang's website but looks like he took it down? Doesn't matter there is enough evidence to show the real problems with it. "PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Corporations move money around to avoid paying their fair share of taxes The burden of paying for social services falls disproportionately on those who earn the least The Freedom Dividend should be funded by those who benefit most from the structure and work of society" 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/ https://pjmedia.com/trending/the-5-big-problems-with-andrew-yangs-1000-a-month-universal-basic-income-proposal/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/andrew-yang-has-a-great-idea-with-a-terrible-plan 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. Fighting to protect American jobs from the onslaught of automation. Some jobs will be automated of course, but we cannot allow entire work forces to be eliminated. Call me crazy, but I value humans. Have you not seen every science fiction story ever? Letting the robots take over DOES NOT END WELL. https://www.gleib2020.com/issues-2

  7867. Considering Warren's record before she started running for president not sure why they would be afraid of 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.

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 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..."

  7876.  Space Alien  Glad you asked! 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! 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 http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 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. 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!

Bernie Sanders has put his political life on the line time and time again defending people's rights well before it was politically popular! It is outrageous for anyone to suggest he is a sell out! He lost an election and sure was not going to support Trump LOL By the way who are you for? Unless you are a coward to say!? No, that's your record not Bernie's or mine!

  7894. Raze2dust 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!

  7933.  @arthurfonzarelli9331  He has had political courage many times through the years even when it was politically unpopular risking his own political career. Tell me about how much courage you have after you have been arrested for protesting for something and gone up against half of what Bernie has! Do you even realize everything that lead up to Bernie losing? No one should hate on any of that, right? Just dish it all on Bernie. The major news media with the LIES that older Biden supporters believed (I know I talked to enough of them), the Corp Dems dropping out endorsing Biden with Clyburg's endorsement, Big Pharma, the insurance companies all attacking Bernie, Warren lying on Bernie, so called progressives online bashing him for years, the few candidates that claim to be progressive not endorsing Bernie after all the Corp Dems endorsed Biden, but heck everyone should just hate on the one person that went up against all of that. Most would never go up against what Bernie has for one year much less decades. I know I wouldn't. Bernie won with voters under 50 and with Independents in many states. It was the older Biden voters and nothing Bernie would had done would had won them. Bernie genuinely believes Trump is worse and even though I won't vote for Biden or Trump, I agree Trump is worse. I agree with what Noam Chomsky said about Trump being worse so when Bernie saw he wasn't going to win then he was going to focus on trying to keep Trump from winning another term while he keeps fighting for his policies like he always has.

  7946. 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.

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!

  7967. 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.

  8023.  @radavar  Bernie's been extremely strong on Palestine so not sure what you are talking about there? He is not going to be totally against Israel but call them out when they need to be! Bernie is not for Military intervention in Venezuela like most of the politicians are. Of course he lost to Hillary, in between the super delegates and him having hardly no name recognition at the beginning of the last primary but how far he came up in the polls against the Clinton machine is amazing! He has more than proven he is a winner when it comes to his record and that is what counts! If you think Tulsi's record is perfect you are wrong! Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act and Stop Walmart Act which increased minimum wage. Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim. 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. 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. 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

  8080.  @rainerzufall42  It was AFTER I started reading/hearing smears about Bernie and when someone would say Bernie is not as strong on foreign policies I would respond with facts such as Tulsi has voted more to increase Military Budget increases than Bernie has! And then when it was reported that Tulsi has ASKED Wall Street executives to raise money for her then you yes, I've responded to that just like I have ALL the other candidates that are taking Wall Street donations! Having said that it is also a fact that Wall Street does ask for favors in return from someone that accepts Wall Street donations. Obama went back on some of his campaign promises that many believe it was because of corp donations that influenced him. By the way if you had read any comments on Dr. Paul's channels when Tulsi was trying to raise donations to get on the debate stage you found myself making comments there and other channels asking for donations for Tulsi to help get her on the debate stage giving positive comments about her ALSO defending her against people that were smearing her because of her anti gay past. But then as time went on and Tulsi supporters were going off on Bernie relentlessly then yes I started pointing out that Tulsi isn't perfect most of the time also pointing out that Bernie isn't perfect, either, and that Mike Gravel is more anti wars than both of them if you had read any of those comments!? Tulsi needs to respond herself with a yes or no answer, either she has or she has not asked Wall Street executives to raise money for her? If she has recently I haven't seen it. Just putting my comments in their proper perspective!

  8087. YES UNEMPLOYMENT benefits every person out of work, A FJG, expand existing programs, stop mortgage foreclosures Medicare for all, emergency payments but NO to UBI too many risks with that. Just like we ended up with a Republican healthcare plan under Obama there is that same risk with UBI that we would end up with a Charles Murray UBI version that would hurt the middle class and poor more than it would help them. I won't ever support UBI. Starting around 25:28 "They were fighting for a neoliberal UBI instead of a job guarantee and expanded Social Security because neoliberalism is not progressivism at all. The concept of a Universal Basic Income sounds tasty it's like a nice little salad with all kinds of candies on it until you realize that you're buying capitalist products with your UBI which means the capitalist still controls the price which means the capitalist still controls the supply which means the capitalist still controls whether or not your UBI is enough to afford their goods and services which means your consumption unit which means you have no protections which means you have no standing which means once again you have fallen for the oldest neoliberal an ran trick and it was populism that pushed the UBI. It wasn't common sense and it certainly wasn't knowledge. It was people that were wafer-thin that didn't do the homework that glom on because they're desperate and I get the desperate folks..."

  8099. 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!

  8109.  @WitchDoctor87  It's okay to disagree! I don't have a problem with that but when people take it further trying to destroy the few we have fighting for us then that is inexcusable in my book. No, they didn't get anything by voting for Nancy that I certainly agree with, however, it's getting something worse that is the issue by not voting for her. That is where someone should just agree to disagree rather than trying to say they sold out or they aren't fighting for us, etc. I think I wrote previously I don't always agree with voting for the lesser of two evils and in fact I have made comments to back up my disagreeing with that but when it comes to Trump then I agree with Dr. West that we had to vote Trump out and the only way to do that was to vote for Biden. Dr. Cornel West also said.... "We've got to first begin with ourselves are we willing to make sure we revel in the humanity of other people even when we disagree with them to give them the benefit of being right or wrong recognizing we could be right or wrong and then pursuit a dialogue together...all of us have varies kinds of blindness all of us have various kinds of shortcomings.....all of us have failures try again fail again fail better try again fail again fail better all of us have certain elements of failure built inside of who we are the question is can we accent the best of who we are because all of us have some real potential..." Dr. Cornel West End of quote. Until progressives unite and stop expecting all progressives to do everything exactly the way someone thinks they should we will never have a progressive president!

"His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s.

  8134. 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!

  8153. If you are for Bernie's policies run for office if you think you can do better? "...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..."

  8200. 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 will not vote for Pete, either! "South Bend Politician: I Worked with Pete Buttigieg. He Did Not Respect Black Residents’ Struggles" On YT Democracy Now!

  8212.  @ForgotMyPasswd000  Force? Wow, you really know nothing about politics! I remember so many Bernie supporters and others saying that even if Bernie were president he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything and my comeback was always if nothing else he wouldn't sign bad bills and he could use executive powers for certain things but other than that no he wouldn't be able to force the House or Senate to pass what he wants and no, Biden, can't hold something to their heads and force them, either. Now, I am NOT saying Biden couldn't do more so don't twist my words into saying I said he couldn't do anything but for sure he can not make those in the House and Senate vote the way he wants them to or the way you want them to anymore than voters can demand everyone do everything the way they want, when they want, or how they want! I hold all politicians equally responsible for what they vote on that is passed or not passed. Bernie supporters totally accept the ones that are Corp politicians no matter which party they are in but what many Bernie supporters do NOT do is blame Bernie for all the problems in this world or think he is some kind of god that can pass bills by his self. A lot of us do not think 3rd parties will win the presidency. Now you can throw all the tantrums you want over that but it's a fact that many years have proven AND Bernie cares more about this country to take any chances of him causing the Republicans to win because of him running on a third party ticket. You can agree with that or not but it's his decision, his risk to take or not take. Most of Bernie supporters also put blame where it's due and not blame one person for not being a miracle worker. Manchin shares the blame! Even though he's not the only one.

  8266.  @chop54321  Please don't tell me this is too long because you asked for it! 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!

  8273.  @chop54321 I hope you get help for your comprehension problems! Some of those Amendments was in that article I was quoting you LOL I just didn't finish coping what they were because My point was proving you are a liar which I did! You didn't care what Bernie's Amendments or accomplishments were/are and you obviously are too dumb to know what "Amendment King" means LOL Okay, just had to let you know some of those Amendments was in that article that I had some of that quote from I gave you SO YES I COULD NAME ATLEAST SOME OF THEM but decided to just let you show yourself that you rather lie than to acknowledge any truths I gave you of Bernie's accomplishments BOTH through bills and other accomplishments which is still accomplishments, too, that proves you lied and how you totally overlooked you lied! "Dubbed the ‘amendment king,’ Mr. Sanders passed more amendments than any other member of Congress during his 16 years in the House of Representatives—despite Republicans holding a majority between 1994 and 2006. HE KICKED OFF HIS POLITICAL CAREER WITH AN AMENDMENT..." I guess your comprehension problems was not able to realize what that quote was fixing to name one of those Amendments or what "..." means at the end of what someone is quoting. Someone that doesn't have comprehension problems could tell that was fixing to name one of the Amendments, the one that "kicked off his political career" but there were more named there, too! Now, you can continue to keep ignoring you lied. It is what most liars do.

  8284.  @BBQcheese  Tells me all I need to know about you that you wouldn't know without asking. Many people have commented on Jimmy Dore's hypocrisy not just me! However, since you are so blind you don't know or don't want to know here is one example... For years, all I heard was Jimmy Dore bashing Bernie for not going Independent. Over and over, relentlessly, and I know because I heard him! Then many months BEFORE Tulsi dropped out in an interview with Jimmy she TOLD JIMMY she would NOT run as an Independent saying basically the same as Bernie wanting to change the Democratic party. Do you think Jimmy bashed her too death over and over for her saying she would not run as an Independent like he had Bernie? Heck NO as he let that and other things go when it came to Tulsi that he never let go of with Bernie and I could care less what Jimmy says NOW about Tulsi after she has dropped out and praising Biden. Jimmy already showed his divisiveness and the hypocrite he is. Jimmy did more damage to the progressive movement then he ever hoped to help it. I could cite more examples but you are so brainwashed you will no doubt make excuses for Jimmy. I don't make excuses for anyone. I could care less Jimmy supported Tulsi instead of Bernie. I care about holding them and all other candidates and politicians to the same standards. I don't lower myself to your or Jimmy's level when it comes to nasty gestures. That also tells me all I need to know about you. Now, I gave my opinions, you have given yours. I stand by mine as they are truth whether you like them or not so I am done with you. By the way the Dem party is NOT my party! I am a Independent.

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." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY

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.

  8355. Bernie is specific about exactly what his Medicare for all bill is! Yang built some of his popularity off of the lie he is for Medicare for all when finally came out an admitted he's only for the "spirit' "label" not the actual bill that some yang supporters even argued from the beginning Yang being for Medicare for all the same as Bernie. Yang said there is no Medicare for all bill when there is. He's a liar and his policies are not the best. He's not buying my vote! I am not voting for Bernie for who he supported in the last general. I am voting for him on his policies that he's for that has NOT changed! Yang is taking donations from Billionaires. He's not against the corruption. Bernie polls overwhelmingly higher on the most trusted candidate on some of the issues. It doesn't take a genius to figure ot why! 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 2020 Vision on Neoliberalism, UBI and More "Real Progress In Action" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvM1fTbYGPo The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c And you thought any blue would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T4OZ_CsdO8

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.

  8411. 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. Or you can argue with the over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is always the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. 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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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 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. 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 And then there's this.... 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!

  8417.  @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.

Yang also clearly neglects to mention outsourcing has caused a lot of job loss, too! 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? 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!

  8459. Oh, I did think alright! 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!

  8460.  @democracydollars8366  It's been awhile since I've congratulated a yang banger on being a hypocrite but today is your lucky day! Or at least you are the first today lol 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. And at least I don't post crap like this.... "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!"

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! I know you yangers want to shut down freedom of speech for anyone that disagrees but tough! 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!

  8519.  @birhanuashagrie8441  Well, first off for Yang or any candidate to be trustworthy they can't be disingenuous! If they imply someone does or would support their policy and then come to find out it's not the SAME version/policy then they lose creditably on whatever else they would say IMO. If it's not the same you can't assume someone would be for it. I have too much to post in one reply but I will start on the research I've done that has BOTH the pros and cons in it that 144 references came up with their.... 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. If Charles Murray's version of UBI got passed that would hurt both the middle class and poor more than what UBI would help!

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."

  8521. 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 you can't say economists support Yang's UBI unless it's a economist that supports YANG'S EXACT SAME VERSION OF UBI. 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 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. 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."

  8528. I want the kind of socialism where people do not die JUST BECAUSE they don't have the money for healthcare! Where Insurance companies don't make Billions off of sick and dying people. Many are hard working people that can't help it when they get sick. If you want them to work they need to be able to get medical care when they need it so they can keep working. I want the kind of socialism that keeps Social Security and Medicare. And no matter how you want to spin it there is different forms of socialism. It the last two or three years has proven anything it doesn't take Medicare for All to get Authoritarianism! The doctors that lost their license because of not following government mandates with the jabs it didn't matter if those patients have Medicare for All or private Insurance. IF YOU HAVEN'T WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT THE PATRIOT ACT that took some of our freedoms away and the Republicans that voted for it while Bernie voted AGAINST it. Bernie has been more for our freedoms than most. What he's done for people for decades does not deserve the criticism he gets from some people. I don't agree with him on everything but it's not his fault people that don't understand the differences in what he is for and what he is against. Having said that if he was to say he was for forced mandates then that's where my support would end for him but I will always give him the credit for what he has done for people and defend him from unfair criticism. Bernie has also voted for less Military increases than most if not all of the rest of them. Killing innocent people in other countries is a good thing, right........NOT! Trump vetoed the Stop the War in Yemen Act which killed a lot of innocent people including women and children. The Corp politicians on both sides that are for more wars and have the same Corp donors you think that's a good thing SMH.

  8567.  @sonshine5038  I don't believe you on the lawyer thing and as for the rest..... As for the new lakefront house his wife inherited a home from HER family that they sold to buy that house. So technically it's not "his new lakehouse". It's his wife's house! I don't care what Bernie has since he got it legally AND he didn't get it off of Wall Street speeches! As for killing babies Trump could care less how many men, women, children, or babies are killed when he vetoed the Stop the war in Yemen Act that will continue to kill a lot of innocent people so don't pretend to care about babies if you are supporting the endless wars! 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.

  8595. Considering Warren's record before she started running for president not sure why they would be afraid of 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.

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.

  8640.  @kevinschmidt2210  Not sure why your comment is not showing up in my thread and only in my notifications but here is my reply to your last comments.... Senator Sanders NUMEROUS TIMES has asked the public to support union workers! So what they take pictures of him while he joins union workers. You said Bernie did "nothing" to stop the actions of the Dems on stopping the strike when he did in fact pushed for them to get paid sick leave! He couldn't make the other politicians support it anymore than he can pass bills by his self. As for the lie you told on him voting for more money for the Ukraine War.... To set that record straight..... When the US Senate passed legislation authorizing 858 Billion in Military Spending for Fiscal Year 2023 to quote Senator Sanders, ""At a time when we spend more than the next 11 nations combined on defense, we should invest in healthcare, jobs, housing, and education--not more weapons of destruction," said Sen. Bernie Sanders." and is is one of the 11 Senators that voted AGAINST that Military Budget Increase!! He also voted AGAINST a $770B Defense Bill that was before the one I just quoted. I don't continue discussions with liars! And since you seem to have a comprehension problem it was your comment I was referring to as Hogwash! Now, take your lies and smears to someone that doesn't know any different or that just wants to lie and smear like you have. I definitely won't be back to read anymore of your replies but feel free to reply with more lies if you want. I just won't be back to read them. Doesn't matter if you came back to read my comment or not as it set the record straight for anyone else that reads them.

  8718. Sorry Yang has not earned my vote and he sure ain't going to buy it! 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.

  8753.  @nickg4856  Republicans many of them are a lot meaner and I should know since that is why I left the Republican party and became a Independent. That's the kind of crap they want thrown around. Trump promotes violence, too, and they love that. Do you suggest Bernie should promote violence? Of course you aren't. While there are some mean Dems, too, most Biden supporters are NOT like that and that is not what they want so that is not how you would win them over. You think Bernie would win doing that and I think the exit polls clearly show different but feel free to argue with the ones that said that is why they voted for Biden because they want a calmer or how did they say it that meant that? A less angry? However they worded it they have been convinced Bernie is a angry old man so you want to win them how? By showing them Bernie is an angrier old man? LOL If it had been someone else maybe it would work the way you are suggesting but not with former OBAMA'S VP Biden. Now, you and others want to but the blame where you want so I shall do the same. I blame Warren she is the one that was WEAK clearly proven by her not speaking out when peaceful Native Americans were being brutalized, clearly proven when she didn't back the only progressive last time or this time. I put some on Tulsi for not dropping out after she hadn't won any votes to speak of at the end of the Nevada primary and when she saw the entire establishment dropping out uniting behind Biden with Clyburg's endorsement if Tulsi really cared about stopping the wars she would had dropped out and supported Bernie. I also blame Dore and Niko for their hypocrisy and endless rants against Bernie. I stopped listening to him months ago he's so divisive. And the major news media that has convinced Biden voters why they shouldn't vote for Bernie with all of their lies and smears. The best argument anyone can give on the attacks wouldn't had mattered is when Bernie attacked really hard exposed Biden for lying when it comes to Social Security but who did Floridians say they trusted most on Social Security? Biden! No, I don't believe there is anything Bernie could had done to win them over but there is something Warren and Tulsi could had done but they were too weak to do it!

  8763. Malik Jones I've supported my statements to prove that people are paying taxes for wars and corp welfare more than what you implied even though you are the one clueless LOL but we could debate all day on which is greater but the bottom line is people paying taxes do have a right to say where they do NOT want their taxes to go whether it's corp welfare, wars, like I've mentioned or other programs that are social programs (not talking about entitlement programs) like you mentioned but the bottom line is both parties spend so it's a matter of where someone's priorities are where they want their tax dollars to go! People are working on jobs that you call lazy and the have just as much right to want their tax dollars to go for programs such as Medicare for all, as people have a right to say they don't want them. That's why we vote to support whichever politician supports the same policies as we do. It's hard earned money you idiot for everyone that works that disagrees with you on where they want their tax dollars to go! Now, you have shown where your priorities are and yours are the ones that are on the side of greed! Anyone that would argue for our tax dollars to go to wars, corp welfare, and/OR being all for Amazon not having to pay taxes while the middle class can't get out of paying them are the greedy ones!! Your heartless comments are beyond pathetic! I'm done now because I can't change your heartless heart and you wont change my compassionate one for the people that don't have what they NEED that are working hard or that are physically unable to work. You argue on the side of people to have a lot more than they need, the ones that don't need the tax breaks or corp welfare. That is what is GREED! Bye!

  8785.  @xXfrazzzXx  I think my previous comment was pretty clear about that! As far as how to pay for it learn MMT!! And if you need details on my version it's someone that has a record like 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! 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 sucessful in working with people across the Isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHvg32d8l9o

  8787.  @SUPERBRETTASTIC5  The Support Bernie has lost is those that never supported him to start with or that got brainwashed by the likes of Jimmy Dore and people like you. There were a lot of supporters for the other DEMOCRAT candidates! Hello! Funny how you talk about how Bernie "Cattle people into the Dem party" in one breath and then talk about Dems that don't support him. If he was such a good Dem then he would have all those voters support that were for the other Democrat candidates. I also HEARD some of his supporters at rallies talk about and tell him they expected him to support the nominee! You need to stop thinking everyone agrees with your thinking while in another breath you say to be respectful of differences of opinions. Bernie has to work with the other politicians to get anything passed for people. You do know that, right? I mean if you cared so much about poor people you would want him trying to get as much as he can passed for them! If he did some of the things you suggested he would have no voice at all for us. He can't pass bills by his self but he can fight for as much as he can get. What part of all the candidates had to agree to support the nominee do you not understand? Dr. West as you tried to take his words out of context while failing to mention he said he would vote for Biden, too! Did he try to usher more people into the Democratic party??? Polls clearly reflect how popular Bernie still is not a youtube video that most of his supporters really don't need to take time to watch! We know what he is doing. I don't come watch as many of his videos since the primary but I'm just as much a supporter of his now as then and I just bet there are a lot more like me on that. By the way, Bernie did speak out at how they did him when he lost to Hillary. You only hear what you want to hear. Bernie lost the primary! He didn't cave and he cares more about this country than to had done anything further to help Trump win so he cares more about this country than you seem to!

  8794.  @rebeccajohnson523  There is more than one Social Security income! Someone can be disabled and get SSA if they worked long enough and if not they can get SSI. Both of those are Social Security incomes. Misinformation is when yang supporters say it stacks on top of Social Security without also pointing out it doesn't stack on top of all of them! SSI is Social Security Supplemental Income which is also Social Security. It's clear at yang's website some have to make a choice.... Directly from Yang's website......... "SSDI is based on earned work credits. SSI is a means-tested program. You can collect both SSDI and the Freedom Dividend. Most people who are legally disabled receive both SSDI and SSI. Under the Freedom Dividend, those who are legally disabled would have a CHOICE between collecting SSDI and the Freedom Dividend, OR collecting SSDI and SSI, whichever is more generous." end of quote. You don't have to read my replies! Yang has changed things so many times until no one can know for sure that he won't go back to his original positions! When someone says one thing in one interview and something else in another or flip flops it generates mistrust with some people! For those that blindly trust him that's fine but don't expect everyone to! He has no political record to know he would do anything he says and for sure with all of the important votes in the House and Senate we have no idea how Yang would had voted on any of them and that's just a FACT. I don't think he has the best policies, either.

  8805. YES UNEMPLOYMENT benefits every person out of work, A FJG, expand existing programs, stop mortgage foreclosures Medicare for all, emergency payments but NO to UBI too many risks with that. Just like we ended up with a Republican healthcare plan under Obama there is that same risk with UBI that we would end up with a Charles Murray UBI version that would hurt the middle class and poor more than it would help them. I won't ever support UBI. Starting around 25:28 "They were fighting for a neoliberal UBI instead of a job guarantee and expanded Social Security because neoliberalism is not progressivism at all. The concept of a Universal Basic Income sounds tasty it's like a nice little salad with all kinds of candies on it until you realize that you're buying capitalist products with your UBI which means the capitalist still controls the price which means the capitalist still controls the supply which means the capitalist still controls whether or not your UBI is enough to afford their goods and services which means your consumption unit which means you have no protections which means you have no standing which means once again you have fallen for the oldest neoliberal an ran trick and it was populism that pushed the UBI. It wasn't common sense and it certainly wasn't knowledge. It was people that were wafer-thin that didn't do the homework that glom on because they're desperate and I get the desperate folks..."

  8814.  @ON-YT  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!

  8846. Bernie did call out the rigging in the last primary! You just didn't want to listen because Bernie didn't commit political suicide like you think he should had! And when asked about Assange why would Bernie was talking about him! You hear what you want to hear. Bernie is a strong leader on the voting floor and fighting for the policies we need. If that is not good enough for you then vote for your perfect candidate even though there is none that is perfect! Another thing you aren't listening to is the majority of people even Bernie's own supporters that have made it clear they want him to support the nominee if he don't win! I have even heard some of them at his Town Halls and other places that if Bernie loses they EXPECT him to vote for the nominee! I know some people don't want that but the majority do! I understand both sides of that argument enough to not be critical of those that want to vote blue no matter who and that is a heck of a lot of progressives that think that way, too! Tulsi Gabbard I might had known someone that can't see her faults at all! She defended Biden when there was no defending him, PERIOD! And that was before the debates the first time she defended him. Tulsi was too weak to point out Biden was wrong. Some people think it's because she wants to be his VP. I know Bernie is not perfect even though he comes closer to my views than any of the other candidates AND WITH A RECORD that shows he won't go back on the issues he is campaigning on and he sure didn't need to evolve on the issues that tulsi has! As for your not perfect candidate..... 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders 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! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/bernard-sanders/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/ https://medium.com/@brandondegraff/tulsi-gabbard-voted-for-trumps-military-budget-increase-last-year-651bbf084048 https://portside.org/2019-04-04/heres-how-2020-candidates-stack-war-and-peace But Gabbard’s actual voting record on war and peace issues, especially on military spending, is not nearly as dovish as that of Sanders. She voted for 19 of 29 military spending bills in the past six years, and she has only a 51 percent Peace Action voting record. Many of the votes that Peace Action counted against her were votes to fully fund controversial new weapons systems, including nuclear-tipped cruise missiles (in 2014, 2015 and 2016); an 11th U.S. aircraft-carrier (in 2013 and 2015); and various parts of Obama’s anti-ballistic missile program, which fueled the New Cold War and arms race she now decries. https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-tulsi-gabbard-renews-calls-critical-funding-missile-defense-fy2015-budget.

  8895.  @lizardking5711  While Biden tried to get Social Security cut, sent out Veterans off to war, voted for bad trade deals and wrote the Patriot Act that took some of our freedoms away some of you are so UNINFORMED to think Bernie has never got anything done! I guess you missed this in one of my previous comments...... 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

  8990. While you brag on all of the wins Biden racked up maybe don't forget the wins Bernie overwhelmingly won with not only voters under 45 but ALSO with Independents! Rational National gave the results on that. Independents are the ones that help decide the general elections. After ALL of the lies and smears from the major news media, of course you would want to criticize Bernie for giving one truthful criticism back! No, I won't come on board with Biden but what the major news media and Biden as well as others forget is it's not Bernie Sanders that keeps me from voting for Biden, it's Biden's record! No, I won't vote for Trump, either. See, here's the thing, if there never had been a Bernie Sanders, I still would not had voted for Biden!! So, keep that in mind when you try to blame Bernie supporters if Biden doesn't win the general. If Biden had been the only one running in the primary I would not had voted for him so it's not Bernie's fault I won't vote for Biden!! It's exactly why (and believe it or not Lawrence O'Donnell pointed this out years ago but would most likely be fired if he did now) Corp Dems don't change and represent the people instead of wealthy donors because they know they don't have to, people will still vote for them regardless! Now, that's not O'Donnell's exact words but that's what it meant what he said. Always going to be people that are willing to vote for the lesser of two evils to keep giving us evil until one day we wake up with a Bloomberg presidency! Came close this time.

  9028.  @williamsmith8790  You can put any label on it you want after all socialism has how many DIFFERENT definitions? LOL But the policies that Bernie wants that his consistent record backs he's for works just fine in other countries including Canada where their healthcare ranks above ours but only a fool wouldn't realize that and instead defend insurance companies that profit billions off of sick and dying people.The insurance companies and those that defend them are the real murderers along with those for endless wars that are killing thousands of innocent people. 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. 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.

  9037.  @schloops8473  There is already help for people in need. I would be for expanding some of those programs. And not for cutting jobs that people rather have than his UBI that would pay them less than their jobs do. It's not my understanding that the large amount of UBI is financed by the wealthy when Yang has mentioned social programs that he figures people will opt out of for UBI would pay for some of it then the VAT tax which can be debated on who that will hit. Point is if you are ok with the wealthy getting it then you are entitled to think that. If you are ok with Yang making people on social security choose for whatever reason you are entitled to think that but there is a lot of people that disagree with that including Mike on Humanist Report who while not in this video but in others have said that he doesn't support Yang as much as some of the other candidates because of that. How Would Andrew Yang's UBI Proposal Impact People on Social Security? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3oZr6arNhw Around 2:50 in the video Mike: "But that still begs the question why would someone for example on Social Security disability HAVE TO CHOOSE why would they not get as much as someone whose making a hundred thousand a year do you kind of see so there's just the disconnect and I'm hoping you can fill me in on that if I'm genuinely misunderstanding?" Yang replied, "No no well your understanding of it is CORRECT" "...Does it do as much for someone who's already receiving Social Security and other benefits? It does not do as much for those households and to me that's like a separate PROBLEM we have to tackle and solve which is that Social Security is suppose to go insolvent..." Yadda Yadda Yadda. Lift the cap and that problem is resolved! Yang sure does acknowledge problems with some of his policies that he should had worked out before proposing them! YANG ON MEDICARE FOR ALL..... He Is not definitely just for Medicare for ALL if you listen to him closely and at his website "or through creating a new healthcare system" What ever that means! Unless he changes that's not a direct commitment to Medicare for all! YANG ON VAT TAX......... Yang supports UBI paid for thru a VAT (value added tax) Yang even notes at his website: and yes this is at his website! "PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED Corporations move money around to avoid paying their fair share of taxes The burden of paying for social services falls disproportionately on those who earn the least The Freedom Dividend should be funded by those who benefit most from the structure and work of society" He shouldn't endorse a tax that he know has problems and I doubt seriously he will care about solving them! https://www.moneycrashers.com/whats-is-your-opinion-about-a-value-added-tax/ CNN Town Hall with Yang......30:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrnTBXmgqNw Yang is asked "As president you would appoint a news and information OmBudsman who would have the power to punish those who are seeking to misinform the American public and you say there should be penalties for persistent and destructive mis statements that undermine public discourse do you really think you should police speech" Yang replied, "Well, right now we are on the verge of a very difficult time so Americans can't trust what we see and this and this is before deep fakes hit the Internet where they can literally just doctor it so you and I have a conversation and it seems like we're saying whatever it is they want us to say and there are foreign actors are maliciously actually corrupting our democratic processes and then frankly having a good laugh about it like on the other side of the world like their investing a relatively modest sum of money and their seeing it's causing havoc so as a society what is the greater danger here is the greater danger that we're just going to descend into cacophony and no one can even agree on the facts anymore because in this day and age it'd be extraordinary hard for the gov. to somehow curb or sensor in systematic way but we have to be able to sort out people who are maliciously informing the American people and that to me is a much greater danger that we face right now" Then Yang is asked "How do YOU POLICE THAT?" You can listen to the rest of his answer. I didn't say that was at his website but that is in the interview with him.

  9038.  @schloops8473  You have given your opinions on his policies and I have given mine based on his words. I don't agree with you and you don't agree with me. I won't vote for him in the primary or the general. As for his words on M4all having at HIS WEBSITE I quoted the exact words there. Some yang supporters don't even know some of his policies and that's a fact by the ones that asked me to post proof and when I did even if they still agreed they admitted they didn't know it. In addition to all of that he does not even have a political record for anyone to know what he would really do or not! I don't trust anyone coming out of nowhere throwing free money to most everyone to get their votes. Now, that is my opinion based solely on my opinion but I have enough about his policies that are facts that I wouldn't vote for him anyways! He should had ran for local office first like most politicians do and built up a record for people to know if he is just talking the talk or having walked the walk! He is not experienced, either, in all of the areas it takes to run a country! Some people are on the streets because they choose to be! I know people getting assistance through low rent housing, etc. Some are out of work lazy because they don't want to work and that's a fact, too! I'm not interested in helping people that don't help their self if they are physically able to work. If you think this country can fund all of Yang's over 100 policies think again LOL It's been hard enough to try to get medical coverage for everyone that can't help being sick that don't have the money for medical bills. Those are the ones I want to help and to create jobs for people that are willing to earn a living but not by throwing free money at everyone regardless if they can work or not. You don't care about those jobs Yang would cut but the people working on those jobs do! People take advantage of the system already in place and that's a fact so don't tell me there wouldn't be more people taking advantage of it if they had free money thrown there way.

  9063.  @audiosane4214  Mistakes? What mistakes did Bernie make with the under 45 year olds that he won the majority of their votes? Not to mention he won with Independents in some states. Didn't seem to matter to them if he was perfect but matter to them the POLICIES he was for. As for the over 50 group I am telling you there is nothing Bernie could had done differently to win most of the Obama, Clyburg, Pete, and other candidate supporters that were clearly for Biden. You forget how popular Obama was? Still is! And while I am no Obama supporter there is enough that is that listen to him and listened to the major news media! Not to mention those I heard REPEAT so called progressives criticisms towards Bernie as a reason to not vote for him. And I did write "so called progressives" or did you miss that? Meaning the ones that claim to be progressives that are NOT! So I know they are moderates or Republican lite. Bashing real progressives for something that others do not get bashed for is being hypocritical and while I am not saying you did that, don't know if you did or didn't but there are many that did and that along with the other reasons I mentioned is why Bernie lost, period. I hold candidates accountable for their policies, their VOTING record, not all of this crap that people so divided what to criticism him for when some of them the very things they criticism him for they didn't criticize the other so called progressives for that did the EXACT same thing. I know exactly what I am talking about. I talked to enough Biden supporters that voted for him during the primary to know exactly why they didn't vote for Bernie and it has nothing to do with the criticism you and others are throwing at him. I also heard people some of them at Bernie's rallies say they EXPECTED him to support the nominee no matter who it was AS WELL AS some of his own top staffers criticized Bernie for not dropping out sooner. Bernie wouldn't had won with some people no matter what he did or didn't do. I remain focused on policies while you and some others seem to want the perfect progressive candidate. Good luck with that.

  9066.  @audiosane4214  Older voters were not just fixated on who they thought had the biggest chances to win and with Obama's popularity it was easy for them to believe the communism scare, too, with so many people pushing that, too. I heard Bernie address it enough for anyone that wasn't brainwashed to know he wasn't that and you think cable news would had aired it if Bernie had went harder? They bashed him enough over what he did say on the major news and gave him little coverage as it was. How do I know there was nothing else Bernie could had done? I thought I had mentioned (but not going to read back through this thread to see if I did or not) I had talked to many older voters in PERSON, and online, some of them friends of my family and they just thought Biden was great and it's the Republicans fault blocking the Dems from passing any meaningful legislation. Picking Bernie apart is just another reason why he lost those that couldn't resist every chance they got talking about what they hated about Bernie during the entire primary. Whether or not you were part of that doesn't matter as many were. When the best candidate running (as in the only one having the record of being a real progressive) is picked apart that does also hurt their chances of winning. I heard enough people repeat all of that crap as a reason to not vote for Bernie. Look, I came out of the Republican party during the last primary just to vote for Bernie based on his RECORD, especially his voting record even though not perfect it was more perfect than the others, based on the decades of his consistency for the policies I am for NOT for who he calls his friend but I can tell you if I had listened to some so called progressives that spend hours upon hours for years bashing Bernie first instead of searching his record I would not had voted for him. Some of them divisive hypocrites. I didn't become a Dem since cross over voting is allowed in my state I am a Independent. Maybe if Bernie was meaner the way you and some others wanted him to be then he wouldn't be the compassionate person he is to the working class, poor, veterans, and seniors. Yes, you and others are expecting Bernie to be perfect. He won with voters 45 to 50 and under as well as with Independents in some states. They were not interested in a perfect candidate but a consistent one that fights for the policies they/we need. They had no problem with all of the imperfections that you and others are bringing up. The majority of older voters are not on social media and are brainwashed. Bernie has been mostly alone for decades. EVERYONE that has been so critical of him should run for office instead of running their big mouths against him. I really do wish he would go home and spend the rest of whatever time he has left with his family instead of fighting for policies for us with all of the ingrates out there. You think Bernie did little. I disagree but we have both made our points so no need in continuing to waste each other's time. No doubt I repeated some of what I already said as I didn't have time to go back and read what I had already written here but I am surprised Bernie has put up with as much as he has for as long as he has not only from the major news media, the establishment, Big Pharma, Wall Street and others but from so called progressives, too,with so many angry at him for not being perfect and yes this is about him not being perfect, not being the way you and some others want him to be, he should go home and let others go up against what he has for decades so we can see how well they do! Although it would be a lot easier for them than it was for Bernie fighting for policies years before the majority of people were for them like they are now.

  9068.  @audiosane4214  As for your comment "I don't care what Bernie's staffers want. It's his campaign, not theirs." See, that's the problem with the people that keep expecting Bernie to do what they want him to even if it meant him being alone doing it. He has fought enough in his lifetime being alone at times and mostly alone at other times. I think he did more than most any other person would have done. As for your other comment, "Again, I'm not asking for a perfect candidate. That's you misrepresenting my opinions." That is me letting you know how your criticisms of Bernie comes across to me because after all he has the policies so if he did what you and others expect on everything then he would be the perfect candidate which is my point there is no perfect candidate so we can't expect them to do everything we want them to. I am not trying to "distort" your words. I am just telling you how they come across to me. I don't like Biden at all. I don't think he will do anything to make things better for the middle class, seniors, veterans, or the poor, but I just understand why Bernie didn't hit harder and stayed on policies. He was not willing to take the chance of Trump winning and things getting worse! Which is exactly what he would had been doing to hit any harder than he did. Your very first comment, implied progressives should be "angry" at Bernie... going on to say, "How many Americans will die over the next 4 years as a result? " Which to me was implying whether you meant to or not that it will be Bernie's fault Americans that die the next 4 years as a result of him not hitting Biden harder and to me that was being very disrespectful to the ONLY candidate with a record of fighting for us for decades even when it could had cost him his political career. I think that alone is a reason to not be angry at him but very grateful that he has finally helped get the majority of Americans on board with the policies we have long needed in this country. I see it as, If you didn't want the perfect candidate or expect Bernie to be perfect then you wouldn't be angry and want others angry at him. Okay, again, I think we have covered each other's opinion very well.

  9195.  @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!

  9202.  @MrGodApple  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!

Biden supporters made it clear why they were for him and there was nothing Bernie could do to change that because he did attack the very issues that Biden supporters still hung on to him for! You "Think" which is exactly that you think because you have absolutely no proof that it is anymore other than what you think! It is a FACT Bernie attacked on the very issues that Biden supporters said were important for them that they choose Biden for. Yang supporters? Most had their minds made up they were not going to vote for anyone but Yang or Trump. I encountered enough of them and there is no way most of them would had gone to Bernie unless Bernie would had offered them free CASH money, too, as in no strings attached. I am not for UBI so I am glad Bernie wasn't. too! It has already been showed on Rational National the ACTUAL results on Independents in several states that Bernie won! So you are wrong on that. I'm not crying and I really don't care which one wins Biden or Trump even though I think Trump is worse it's no skin off my back as I am fine regardless of who wins so I was for Bernie for all of the people that need his policies since I do agree with most of them. There were a lot of Republicans for Bernie, too. I came out of the Republican party to vote for Bernie based on his policies not on all of the hogwash that has been thrown around about him. Yes, Trump is aggressive and promotes violence, too! I suppose that's how you would like Bernie to be like Trump? My friends that are Dems are NOT like Trump supporters but maybe your friends are different than mine are? I have friends that are Republicans and friends that are Biden supporters and you are just dead wrong if you think Bernie would had won more of the older Dems by being more aggressive. AOC waffles a bit, Yang sold out to CNN and praised Bloomberg for being a great Mayor so for you to mention him at this point speaks a lot to me about what kind of candidate you want. You don't want one that's consistent on the policies Bernie is for you just want someone that makes you feel good.

  9212. My Name 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.

  9235.  @OzzyBoganTech  And Medicare for those that want it or Medicare for some is not Medicare for all, either! I have already said your health care is better than ours but that doesn't mean I want to settle for not being able to choose my doctor where EVERYONE GETS THE SAME COVERAGE! I asked you if there are no misdiagnosing in Australia by any of your doctors? That would be the only reason I would see how you could be okay with not being able to go to the doctor you want to go to without paying extra. Cancer? Tell me about it when my husband has been through it 3 times. Not to mention brain surgery to remove a tumor so big he has a plate in his head after the doctor told him his problem was "anxiety" when within 3 hours taking him to another doctor on THE SAME DAY found he had a large tumor not anxiety! The doctor did not recommend my taking him to another doctor. I did that myself. If not for me taking him to another doctor that same day they would have had a fat lawsuit on their hands! So MANY other cases of doctors misdiagnosing something going by their opinions only without doing the proper testing to give the diagnosis!! So you trust your doctors or make excuses why you believe it's okay for people to be told which doctor they have to see but I say again don't tell me what my choice should be. Medicare for some, not all, would allow the insurance companies here to keep profiting billions off of sick and dying people. I won't make any excuses on why that should be allowed to continue no matter what you want to call the healthcare system. Now, personal attacks or insults is not going to get me to agree with you so against keep wasting your time and mine if that's what you want!

  9283. Bernie polls overwhelmingly higher as being the most trusted candidate on many of the issues. Does not take a genius to know why! Bernie Sanders SURGES into National lead in new Reuters/IPSOS poll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEe4Cxjn5mU 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 Andrew Yang Angling For Biden VP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dcyFPaM44U&t=2s Yang's words in that video start around 25 seconds into the video! 2020 Vision on Neoliberalism, UBI and More "Real Progress In Action" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvM1fTbYGPo The Impostors are Libertarians in Progressive Clothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Eg9e-Fd2c And you thought any blue would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T4OZ_CsdO8 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..."

  9288.  @ericquiabazza2608  I followed the primary and totally disagree with you on Bernie's "inability to fight Biden". Bernie exposed Biden as a liar on National TV as well as pointed out their policy differences! Problem is some progressives wanted him to be Trump like, meaner, and that is just not Bernie as well as he wasn't going to take anymore chances on Trump winning another election! Not to mention that according to Kyle there was strong data showing the harder Bernie hit Biden the worse Bernie did! That is just a turn off to some people! I have friends that we have big differences when it comes to politics but they are still my friends! I could care less what Bernie called him. I cared/care about Bernie's policies, his record fighting for the middle class and poor, his voting record the times he went against both parties. The few progressives we have fighting for us people shouldn't try to destroy just because they don't do everything the way someone wants, when they want, and how they want! They can not pass bills by their selves. And progressive voters are too divided and as long as that is the case we will never have a progressive president. Some so called progressives are just as responsible IMO for Bernie losing the primary as the major news media is! This isn't other countries! Too many people here fear socialism not knowing the difference between that and communism. And I can tell you something else having listened to many voters and people I know on social media if some people that promote third parties don't stop with the hate they won't get very far, either! To quote Dr. Martin King, Jr. "Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love" end of quote. That is Bernie and that is why he is so popular with progressives that don't demand him to be as mean as Trump and/or expect him to be able to pass bills by his self! If you decide to run, good luck!

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. Or you can argue with the over 200 economists that have signed a petition to raise the min wage to $15. Then there is always the over 200 economists that are for BERNIE'S Medicare for all bill. 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 Kelton VS Santens/ UBI Snake Oil VS MMT Federal Job Guarantee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAn6DPcR0cQ 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 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.

  9298. Black Dove's Youtube Channel There is no disguise to Bernie's voting record but you rather lie like a snake! 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.

  9308. ​ @carolmckee8456  None of the Dems are evil? LOL Well, certainly depends on what your interpretation of evil is. At the top of my evil list is all of the politicians on both sides that are in the pockets of the insurance companies and big pharma! That seems pretty evil to me people dying just because they don't have the money for health care or good insurance AND the billions they make off of sick and dying people! Does it get more evil than that? Lets see then there was the brutalization of peaceful Native Americans at Standing Rock which I think was very evil what was being done to them. The only ones speaking out against that was Jill Stein, Bernie, and Tulsi. Maybe one or two others I am forgetting but just about the entire Dem party and Republican party pretty silent until finally Obama put a stop that was temp on the pipeline but never did one thing about all of the brutality that was done to them! Dems didn't care the same as Republicans didn't care! Oil companies taking away other people's properties seems evil to me, too, while most of the Dems are also in the oil companies pockets, too. Police brutality that most all have turned a blind eye to don't even get me started on that one how evil that is with Bernie being the only one with a comprehensive reform policy for that. Dems voted right along with Republicans to take some of our freedoms away voting for the Patriot Act. Bernie voted against it. I realize some people think there's nothing evil about that. Obama and Biden with almost every Dem on board to cut social security which would also affected Veterans on Social Security. Bernie almost the only one speaking out against that and again some people might not look at that as being evil and might think it's not evil all of those bad trade deals that have taken jobs away while Bernie was against that, too. I guess it really does boil down to what your definition of evil is. And you really think politicians in the pockets of the insurance, oil, big pharma, etc. can be swayed? That's great you think they can. I don't. Any politician suddenly for a policy when they run for president that was not for it before they ran LOL And funny thing to me if you think there is much of a difference between the two parties to vote for Dems, why is it both Dems and Republicans are voting the same on just about all of the bills? I think the very reason most if not all Corp Dems don't change is because they know there are a lot of voters like you they are counting on voting for the lesser of two evils so there is no reason for them to change!

  9309.  @carolmckee8456  As far as third party I can only go by what they have been fighting for years to know if I would vote for them. Having said that do you know how many people will not vote for any Dem just because of the corruption within the party? It doesn't matter how good the candidate or any of their policies. Doesn't matter if Bernie or anyone else would had worked their guts out for decades to get policies passed to help them or anyone else! Doesn't matter his or anyone's record on issues that is so important they will not vote Dem. So, I face their comments on how bad we all are for voting for any Dem! Then it doesn't matter if every good policy under the sun could get passed a group of Black Americans that won't vote for any candidate that would not commit to giving them a check in the form of reparations. Doesn't matter if it meant their own children drying without the money or insurance for health care they would let them die before voting for a candidate that would give them health care much cheaper than it is now so I try to reason with them when I feel it is as much of a losing battle as you feel with your comments to me. Then those of us that won't vote for a corp Dem in the general we get hit that way, too. All of the reasons, opinions, good arguments on both sides so the only thing any of us can do as an individual is to vote our own conscience not someone else's. I can tell you after this election if Bernie doesn't get it this time I AM DONE! LOL Voters would have made their own beds and I won't be trying anymore to help any of them. I am ok regardless of who wins so I am trying to get people to see what I think is best for this country and if that don't happen I am going to retire from politics LOL

  9321.  @justme-ti1rh  I'm not going to go through and count them all especially after a Republican admitted he hasn't got credit for all he has accomplished but here's some of his accomplishments and all are important as Amendments are just as important as writing bills when it comes to actually passing them...... 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!

  9351. 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. Yang also clearly neglects to mention outsourcing has caused a lot of job loss, too! 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? 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!

  9356.  @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. 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 http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2015/burlington-vermont-leads-charge-100-percent-renewable-energy/57641 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 100% CORRECT About Bernie Sanders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nko9CHjuVo8 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 https://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/15-minimum-wage-petition?inline=file

She lost any respect I would have had for her when she was totally silent AT THE TIME peaceful Natives were being brutalized. That was even when she still thought she was Native American but yet she was totally silent while what she thought was her people were being horribly brutalized. She didn't stand up for them and you think she would fight for the rest of us especially after taking corp donations? I don't. And then there's more..... 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.

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.

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!!

  9453.  @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."

  9470.  @AnalyticalSentient  Doesn't anyone do their own research? LOL 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. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders "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! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/bernard-sanders/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/ https://vetsforbernie.org/2019/04/bernie-sanders-only-candidate-to-vote-against-all-3-trump-military-budgets/

  9479. Cenk is WRONG! There has been very little condemning what Hamas did in October and in fact many were HEARD celebrating it! Cenk seems to totally ignore Israel WARNED/WARNS civilians but Hamas does NOT. Israel does not PURPOSELY go after civilians. Hamas does. Yes, they said they will do what was done Oct 7 OVER AND OVER AGAIN as the Hamas Charter also clearly points out their intentions and that they would NEVER be for peace. All of the sad lose of lives are on Hamas! Hamas takes their food, etc. Hamas figures I would never consider accurate. As for a cease fire? Even if they released the hostages while they regain more power again it would end up them taking more hostages again and more loss of Israel civilians. How can that be a good thing? "Hamas started this war. This is not their first war against Israel. We have previous wars where they initiated the war against Israel and the world and the global public bent so fast and they begged for a cease fire in the past 3 wars against Hamas and Israel had to submit to public opinion and we did not finish them in the precious 3 wars every time Hamas came back stronger and this time the voices rise again asking to stop and cease the fire. What will happen tomorrow if they cease fire now? The job is not finished. This problem has been going on for 35 years..." "Israel says evacuate civilians leaflets through media give them opportunity of 20 days to evacuate but they didn't. They still give shelter to Hamas. In this case Israel is not responsible tor any harm that happens to civilians..." quote by Mosab Hassan Yousef who is the son of a Hamas founding leader. And for anyone that doesn't know Mosab was in Israel's prison where he SAW Hamas harming Palestinians and after that is when Mosab started helping Israel. Mosab was horribly abused as a child. He also knows first hand what has gone on between the two Israel and Palestine.

  9493.  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, 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.

Kinda funny, I do not support UBI but I voted for Bernie (he wasn't running on UBI when I voted for him) while Yang supporters that do support UBI after Yang dropped out most didn't start supporting Bernie or if they did they were silent LOL and now here they are not having supported Bernie that now is wanting UBI while I voted for Bernie not supporting UBI, YES UNEMPLOYMENT benefits for every person out of work, expand existing programs, stop mortgage foreclosures, Medicare for all but NO to UBI too many risks with that!! Bernie/Nina2020 Just like we got a Republican healthcare plan with Obama there is that same risk with UBI that we would get a Repubilcan UBI version such as Charles Murray's, a conservative for UBI but his version would hurt the middle class and poor MORE than it would help! So, as I was not for UBI with Yang, neither am I supporting Bernie wanting UBI now. Even though it's temp it does open the door to UBI and all of the risks that goes with it.....You can't ignore the risks. To do so would not be honest.

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 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 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. 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “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! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html 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 Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  9548.  @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.

  9552.  @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.

Yang also clearly neglects to mention outsourcing has caused a lot of job loss, too! 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..."

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? 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!

  9658. bickerin 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!

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 If you want to watch a good 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.

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?

  9700.  @MK-oz2lf  Hogwash! You do what's best for the country and if you feel one person is better than the other that's who you endorse! Which by the way is exactly what the majority of Bernie voters expect him to do if he loses. I hear their applause when he says if he loses he will support the nominee AND hear some of his supporters say it, too. You won't convince me Bernie wasn't already for a lot of his policies for decades as I have listened to him in videos from decades ago which by the way Tulsi's not the same as Bernie on domestic policies anyways! If you think her foreign policy is better Codepink would disagree with you as do I. No one caring about what's best for this country would had wanted him to split the vote giving Trump the win and for sure Bernie wouldn't do anything to risk that. Bernie DID address the rigging so you don't need to lie about that! It doesn't help your cause any at all. Tulsi also defended Biden's racist record and Ellen being friends with a war monger! Now, don't misquote me (not saying you will) as I didn't say Tulsi defended a war monger. I said she defended Ellen being friends with one. STOP ACTING LIKE TULSI IS PERFECT! Many of you bashed Bernie too death for not going Independent when Tulsi said basically the SAME THING about not going Independent as Bernie did about wanting to change the Dem party! Such hypocrites! Do you even know how many Bernie supporters people like you have lost that were also supporting Tulsi? Not that you care but a lot. Keep on smearing Bernie. People like you make me regret all the people I got to donate to her in the beginning months to help get her on the debate stage. There is comments of mine posted on youtube channels, too, especially Ron Paul's channels back then proving I was trying to get them, too, to donate to her to get her anti wars voice on the debate stage. Bernie's not perfect but neither is Tulsi! But Bernie comes close to my views on the polices he's been consistent with for decades. He sure didn't have to evolve on any of them, either, like Tulsi did.
    1
  9701.  @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.

  9777.  @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.

  9801.  @aminahmajied3373  i am just pointing out that Tulsi is not perfect, either! She has voted for more Military Budget increases than Bernie has and it could be debated that if she is so anti wars she wouldn't had enlisted. As far as no Military interventions Bernie is just as strong against the wars now as Tulsi is. I respect your reasons for voting Tulsi but over all I just don't see where one is stronger than the other when you weigh everything out. When Bernie has been needed to vote on wars his speeches are just as powerful but with all of the different issues he is bringing attention to I guess he just feels like some of them he has been fighting for for decades he wouldn't need to keep repeating all of them. I do wish he hadn't gone along with the Russia Russia Russia crap but that's when I think about his voting record and decades of fighting for everyone he has earned my vote. I would love to be a close friend of his to find out what his thoughts are really about that. It's NOT because of him going along with corruption because Bernie has spend his political life fighting the corruption so no one could convince me of that. I do believe Tulsi asking Wall Street executives to raise money for her is going to cause her to lose some support. I know I was really disappointed when I heard that. Really don't care why she is asking them, she has opened the door to Wall Street and that's just not good, either. It boils down to there is no perfect candidate so we all just go with the one that comes closer to each of our views.

  9814.  @thetrueking6137  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!

  9841.  @maxwellmontgomery3421  Personal insults don't help your cause, either, and I took your point for exactly what you wrote, "Voting for someone based on your own principles is both selfish and unrealistic." Both does mean both or maybe you have poor writing skills to get your point across, although I got your other point, too, on your opinion that I disagree with! One person in a party that votes different that is a deciding vote doesn't make the entire party compromisers! Over all time and time again Republicans don't compromise on their most important issues. Even one of them said that they got 70 percent of what they wanted from Obama and that is even when Obama had the majority! It's always the Dems that end up compromising most if not all of the time. There are some policies they should never compromise on such as when Dems were willing to cut Social Security that didn't pass. Obviously you are unclear to exactly what the definition of being selfish is when it come to your judgment of people that stand on principles that don't compromise! self·ish /ˈselfiSH/ adjective (of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure. As for ME, I am fine regardless of who wins the presidency. Got that? My principles are based on what I see ordinary Americans need so it's certainly not for my pleasure or profit the principles I have! Such as knowing friends that didn't have the money for health care and knowing that people die because of not having the money for health care so I won't vote for someone that doesn't have a record of being for Medicare for all. That's certainly not for my profit or pleasure since I am fine now with my health care coverage! Such as my knowing innocent people are being killed through endless wars making me more concerned over their deaths than continuing unnecessary wars so I won't vote for someone that has a record voting for most of the wars AND voting for most of the Military Budget increases. So by the definition of selfish if you would vote for someone that isn't for Medicare for all, you are the one being selfish to people that need health care that can't afford the premiums with the ACA!. If you would vote for someone that votes for corp welfare you are being selfish voting for someone that puts the wealthy above the middle class that pays taxes while many major corps not only get out of it but get tax refunds. If you would vote for someone that has voted for every war and Military Budget increase you are lacking consideration to all of the innocent people dying in the unnecessary wars so go throw your insults and opinions to someone else because they won't work on me! You are the one that opened that door with your selfish comment. Now I get it you are ok with compromise. I am not on certain issues and it's not being selfish. I am done here!

  9876. 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..... "South Bend Politician: I Worked with Pete Buttigieg. He Did Not Respect Black Residents’ Struggles" On YT Democracy Now!

  9898.  @junglistiqdimensnalexplrer8885  Oh, I've already posted in this thread why Yang does NOT have the best policies! 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! "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!

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. Now you stand wherever you want. https://www.greenamerica.org/fight-dirty-energy/amazon-build-cleaner-cloud/10-reasons-oppose-nuclear-energy https://greentumble.com/7-reasons-why-nuclear-waste-is-dangerous/ https://peaceandjusticeonline.org/2011/05/19/nuclear-power-dangerous-dirty-expensive-20-key-facts/ https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/green/news/2008/07/08/4735/10-reasons-not-to-invest-in-nuclear-energy/ If you think that I am going to think you are smarter and know more than Richard Wolff, and the doctors, nurses, economists, scientists, and others that are for Bernie think again!

  9938. No this is the truth.............. "...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..."

  9949.  @popformate944  If Bernie didn't have the voice he's had we wouldn't even be having the discussion for progressive policies!! Oh, for pete sake, you are definitely acting like you are mad at Bernie and taking it out on him that we don't have M4A or higher wages. Yes, we need MORE progressives to step in but doubt many would go up against what he has for half the time he has. Would you? I wouldn't! He has been fighting for us mostly alone for decades when progressives have no one to blame but Corp Dems AND their selves that we don't have M4A or the wages raised. Do you even realize how divided even progressives are? Too many people have kept voting mostly for Corp Dems but heck blame Bernie for that, too? Bernie would not had become the Amendment King and got accomplished what he has if he had been as mean as you act like you think he should be and another thing if he was that mean maybe he wouldn't care about us like most of the rest don't care about us. You think Bernie's voice could over ride all the hate towards him from Republicans, from Corp Dems, from the major news media to get more passed? When some people are so dumb they think Bernie is a communist that would ruin this country. I have a limit to how much I believe one politician that has risked his political career fighting for things when it was not only not politically popular but not popular with the majority of people then, either, can accomplish but all things considered he has accomplished a lot even though there are so many ingrates out there that don't appreciate it as well as all the hate he gets. Yes, what we get is a slap in the face compared to some other countries but too many people in this country have been satisfied with that and to allow Corporations to rule over us.

  9958. ​ Gregory Martinek  I don't agree with his policies! From the beginning such a turn off that he would give UBI to all the wealthy people in addition to their incomes but make seniors and veterans on social security choose. I have the video with his words to verify that was his position to start with AND YES HE FLIPPED when he saw he was losing a lot of votes. Some yang supporters say well it's good he listened to the people BUT how many candidates ran on doing what people wanted and then went back on it? That was a big turn off to me from the start. He shouldn't had to see he was losing votes to know he shouldn't had that position to start with! Then even though he changed on SSA he didn't on SSI and other welfare assistance having to choose UBI or their current incomes. As I have stated I am not on welfare but I know people that are and they won't opt out. Yang said some of the savings from those that opt out would pay for some of the costs of UBI. No doubt some will opt out but it's total speculation on how many that he is using to determine how much of that will pay for UBI. Then while in some interviews he says he won't eliminate social and welfare assistance then in another one he does say he would eliminate them but just "not all at once." UBI could hurt poor people more than it helps! I am totally against UBI for the wealthy! He has flipped on other issues. Wishy washy on Medicare for all which we need more than we do UBI and I do not believe both would pass. I think it would end up being like Charles Murray's version of UBI. I don't trust Yang and that's just about the nicest way I can say it. He should had ran for local office FIRST and got a record so people could know what he is really all about. Yang even acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. I don't trust him to solve them. I disagree with him not being for raising the min wage. There is more but this is long enough lol

  9961.  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.

  9962.  @NCCC2025  LOL I probably started working at a younger age than you did if you have worked any. I promote able bodied people earning their incomes by working on jobs that's not what Yang is promoting with his free money with no strings attached! You can attack my opinions that are also the same as economists and other intelligent individuals all you want! It seems Yangers think Yang is the only intelligent person in the US. I have listened to both sides while most of you have only listened to one side. Once again a yanger is not giving the entire context as there are two forms of Social Security incomes! Yang flipped on one of them to get more votes but not on the other as in someone on SSI can not get the full amount of UBI while keeping SSI. Only someone totally disingenuous would try to say Nixon's UBI and Yang's are even similar when one would give free money to everyone as in no strings attached while the other one has strings attached. As far as Bernie's proposals we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI and there is no way the House and Senate would pass both. Yang has acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT! If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! Yang comes out of nowhere, never having spoken out on many important issues before running for president, no political record to know he would do anything he says, with flip flops that no one can know for sure what his final proposals would be, it's nothing but blind trust for anyone to trust him. You choose to but I don't!! In addition to my disagreeing with his policies and some of his views.

  9973. Robert Kennedy, Jr. is NOT anti vax! He is pro vaccine SAFETY! Who would be against that? What's dangerous is all the people that would trust them on a vaccine that wasn't out long enough to know what good or what harm it would do. When I think of the information that was put out in the beginning in the news media that has been proven wrong the news media and anyone else has a lot of nerve to be critical of Kennedy, Jr. Even a Pfizer EXECUTIVE ADMITS Testifying before European Parliament that they did NOT know their vaccine would stop transmission of the virus before the vaccine entered the market! So it is now known we were told WRONG in the beginning that taking the jabs prevented getting the virus and prevented it from spreading. Yes, he and others were banned. No one should be banned from freedom of speech unless they are trying to incite violence. I am not a Biden or Trump supporter. I am not a Dem but I am voting for Robert Kennedy, Jr. Too many people want their freedom to choose what is important for THEM but not what's important to someone else. And just remembered to mention about those in his family that are against Kennedy's message reminds me of all the hate that has come out in the last 2 to 3 years from the people that didn't want anyone else even in their families to have the right to choose what goes in their bodies. So sad really. While some of those same people will SCREAM for women to have the right to choose an abortion they put out hate to those that didn't want to take the jabs. If people want their choices to be respected they should respect everyone else choice, too!

  10028. "...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..."

  10033.  @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.

  10037.  Gerardo Argueta  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! There is a reason Bernie polls overwhelmingly higher as being the most trusted candidate on many of the issues and it don't take a genus to figure out why!

  10044.  @dragonprogressive4317  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. http://www.world-psi.org/sites/default/files/documents/research/en_ubi_full_report_2019.pdf

  10068. Chickened out? You are as bad as infowars! Bernie signed a contract to support the nominee. Would you had rather him broke it where the results would had ended his political career when he broke a binding contract? He is still fighting for the same issues he always has been so if you are against him on issues that is the only valid reason IMO for someone to not vote for him! I think some people either didn't follow VP Gore or has amnesia! (Not saying you are one of them). Back when VP Gore had them do recounts he was HEAVILY CRITICIZED for it and a lot of that came from HIS OWN SUPPORTERS so he stopped the recounts. Then in recent years we learn he actually won but have we heard a peep out of VP Gore about that and how they stole it from him? No! Gore would not have anything to lose to bring attention to our voting system needing overhauled! Bernie is not the one that should had brought attention to all of that in the last primary. OTHERS SHOULD HAD AND OTHERS DID!! He has spent his entire political life fighting for the middle class, seniors, veterans, all races, the poor, etc. even before it was popular to fight for them on some issues and before Tulsi started being the same on some of those issues. He is still fighting for those same issues. He didn't buy my vote he earned it. But if you think there is another candidate that is more perfect that you agree with on issues then that is who you should vote for. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not his mistakes! Bernie2020

  10080. 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.

  10094. I really believe that Bernie thinks his best chance on getting more of the issues he has been fighting for forever passed is through the Dem party. I am sorry but I think Tulsi supporters are delusional if they think the DNC will let her win, either!! The best hope we have of getting the issues we need for this country is to vote for Bernie with such an over whelming amount of people he wins in the first round! I really believe he will pick Tulsi either for VP or sec of state and then after a Bernie presidency then we have Tulsi for 8 years and to me that is a win win. Bernie is not perfect but neither is Tulsi but he is more perfect than the rest. I think Yang is there too to throw money at everyone to try to buy their vote to take votes away from Bernie because I just can't believe that Republicans, the party of if you don't work you don't eat would vote for Yang and I don't trust Yang anyways. Some of them are pretending to like Yang because they believe it would be an easy win for Trump if Yang was the nominee. All of Bernie supporters really need to unite and let the DNC know if they rig it against Bernie this time that we all vote third party in the general. I know the fear is high among Dems about Trump but if everyone don't take a stand against the corruption now when we have the biggest chance to get a progressive there might not be another chance. To get a corp Dem as president we won't get the issues this country needs and all of the wars continued that should be scary, too, a lot of voters!! Bernie2020

  10175.  @prepperstate9505  I supported Ron Paul when he ran for president as that was when I was a Republican even though I didn't agree with him on everything I did when it comes to war so don't be too quick to state who or what you think I am for or against! When I left the Republican party I became an Independent and I have NEVER been a Dem! Tulsi Gabbard has bounced back and forth in some of her policy views but if she was so against war she would not still be in the Military! Not to mention she voted for more Military Budget increases than Bernie! Don't sweep her imperfections under the rug. By the way I actually HELPED to get people to donate to Tulsi when she first started running in order for her to get enough to qualify for the debates. So you can stop assuming what you think I haven't done! Bernie has plainly said both Millionaires and Billionaires should pay more in taxes and has plainly said that would include him paying more! I have protested in behalf of Native Americans, against Social Security cuts, as well as against wars. There has been more protesting against wars than just as the Lincoln Memorial!! Bernie is not perfect but he has been against more wars than most of them. He voted against The Patriot Act that took some of our freedoms away while some Republicans even voted for it as well as some of his policies I agree with! I have also helped save families from losing their car, helped with buying Christmas gifts, etc. for children of poor families, as well as help out in other areas. So say again what you have done for people? My partner and many others in my family served in the Military but it was when there was the draft where they had no choice. There were/are many veterans for Bernie, too! I don't discount everything good someone does because they don't do everything the way I want them to like you are coming across as doing! I have looked up a lot about Bernie when I left the Republican Party before voting for him! You haven't named anything to come close to comparing with what Bernie has done for people for decades! Protesting against the war is a good thing you did but you sure didn't name anything else. Were you ever arrested for any of the protests you have been in?

  10186.  @thefreestofspeech6951  I would definitely not like her voting no on making texting illegal while driving but I would have to know more about the bill and why she voted no! If there was something else in it that would make her vote no or if that was the only thing in that bill? As for SB 205 that is too long for me to have time to read and knowing that is shouldn't be made harder for people to vote I really would have to know that before I would comment on how she voted on that. I think it's great you are aware of the bills in your state and how your reps voted but there is a lot of problems in our country! Just like I do not agree with all of Bernie Sander's voting record!! BUT I agree with him on more than I disagree with him on. There is no perfect politician or candidate so I wouldn't think you would find one that you agree with EVERYTHING on but if you do that is who you should vote for. There is a lot of people out of work, a lot of people that need healthcare that can not afford it. Insurance companies profiting billions off of sick and dying people and unnecessary Military Budget spending and wars. Those are issues that are my first priority and I know Nina Tuner is for M4A and the same on those other issues as I am. I am also against the Patriot Act and bad trade deals the same as Bernie and since Nina endorsed him I would assume she is the same on this issues. Like I said I do not agree with all of Bernie's record!! He is not perfect but he is more perfect than the other candidates were so I voted for him. The same with Nina she isn't perfect but as long as she is for M4A, against endless wars and all of the Budget Military spending, bad trade deals, she would have my vote if I lived there and my vote if she were to run for president. Thanks for FINALLY answering my questions! You are wrong to write that Nina Turner agrees with the Dems on "everything"!

  10225. Considering Warren's record before she started running for president not sure why they would be afraid of 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.

  10250. "...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..."

  10314. WhatThe *’ ever You are not very smart at all. Your smears, accusations, bias doesn't hide Bernie's record that speaks the truth of exactly what and who he is for. I wasn't afraid at all to switch parties! I left the Republican party years ago after being one all of my life when I saw the greed that was taking over that party. You have no idea what Trump is and has done but I will let you keep your head in the sand like the rest of his supporters. I have friends in other countries that will tell you they are NOT communist countries and love their health care! I have family that is very wealthy that laughs at people that think they use the money they save in taxes through loopholes to hire more employees. They invest it or spend it on their self and I also know children of wealthy parents that have never worked a day in their life living off their parents and would never vote for Bernie because they want the Corp welfare to continue while you bash working people that want us to have Medicare for all and to stop Corp Welfare as well as take money out of politics. When Bernie was taking people to Canada to buy cheaper meds they can not afford here what were you doing to help someone? Or just bashing hard working people because they don't do like you think they should. You have a lot of nerve to say anything about what people do when Trump declared bankruptcy how many times? Getting out of paying his debts. Maybe he should had not been buying materialistic crap he didn't need. No one drowned with paying their fair share of taxes in the days of FDR and i doubt they would now. And since you hate socialism stay off our roads, don't call the fire dept if you need them, and definitely refuse Social Security if you have lived long enough to get it. The countries Bernie is wanting us to model after they are doing just fine!

  10335. @Padraigh Desmond 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!

  10336. @Padraigh Desmond Thank you, too, for the respectful reply! Before running for president I never heard him speak out on the bad trade deals? These are the policies I think are best but yes, trust is at the top of my list when it comes to who I vote for. 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 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..."

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."

  10345. ML Williams How about comments on other pages (haven't seen it here yet) from Yang supporters telling them to go "spam" Bernie's live streams and comments with smears about Bernie! Or how about telling Bernie supporters they need mental help for supporting Bernie? Just to mention some of what I've read! Yang supporters are desperate to get Bernie supporters because they know otherwise Yang loses. Why don't you add Richard Wolff's comments to your list? 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..."

"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..."

  10363.  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!

  10368.  @roblovely15  There are a lot of us that have friends that we disagree on policies that we call our friends. So what he called Biden his friend. I go by Bernie's record (not perfect but more perfect than the others) including what he has done for people for decades. The times he went against both parties. You expected him to endorse Trump? LOL Bernie was being careful to not do anything further to help Trump win! Even Dr. Cornel West said he was voting for Biden to get rid of Trump. Many of Bernie's supporters EXPECTED him to support the nominee just like Bernie said he would. I heard some of them say so at his rallies. Not to mention all of the candidates had to sign onto supporting the nominee WITHOUT any conditions attached to it. Too many Dems that believe in voting blue no matter who. I am not one of them. I am an Independent BUT I FULLY UNDERSTAND why Bernie did what he did. Having the entire establishment behind Biden gave very little Bernie could do. He has more guts than most people to go up against what he does. Easy for people to sit on the side lines telling Bernie what he should and shouldn't do while those same people aren't the ones going up against what Bernie has and is. One person in the Senate that has worked his heart out trying to get bills passed to help people with all of the rest of them against those bills he wants to pass. With all the ingrates out there, all the people that criticize him if he doesn't do what they want, he should go home and spend whatever time he has left with his family instead of fighting against everything he does especially when there aren't a LOT of voters voting out all that has and is standing in Bernie's way of getting those bills passed we need.

  10369.  @roblovely15  I know I've had people tell me I was selfish for wanting Bernie to just go home and enjoy his remaining days with his family instead of him continuing to fight for us but I am just so tired of how so many people treat him. I am NOT talking about you hating him like some others do but just tired of everything he goes through and for how long he has. Like for example. I love Nina Turner, too, and in fact she is really the only one I trust other than Bernie to really be for the progressive policies we need BUT in case you haven't noticed there is a lot of hate against her, too, from some so called progressives. Progressives are so divided and as long as that is the case we will never have a progressive president. There is just too many people that do demand Bernie, Nina, others do everything the way they want, how they want, when they want, or they don't vote for them. They want a perfect progressive and there is just not a perfect progressive. No one can meet the demands of all them. I know you have what you feel is more of a winning strategy than Bernie did but I feel sure with everything he was/is up against that he feels that is/was the best he could do. I do agree as Bernie comes off sometimes being too friendly but maybe that is what makes him the caring person he is. Kyle (forgot his last name as haven't listened to him in a long time) said there was some kind of internal poll during the campaign that said when Bernie hit Biden harder he went down some in the polls. Keep in mind there is a lot of hardcore Dems that vote blue no matter who that didn't want Bernie making it anymore difficult for Biden to win. I'm not sure which is worse hardcore Biden or Trump supporters because many of my friends thought Biden was the best and didn't like Bernie at all so it was really hard trying to tell them why the news media was wrong about Bernie with all of the Castro (and other commie) crap out there. So believe it or not there was some people that thought Bernie was too mean towards Biden. Bernie can't win no matter what he does LOL

  10436.  @rogerdodger8415  AND 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.

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 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 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. 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “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! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html 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 Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  10459.  @gottagowork  I watched all but the last bit after they (not doctors) were alleging Dr. Malone is a quack and I imagine a lot of others did, too, after listening to that and them thinking it's not okay to censor except what they think should be censored! LOL Probably a lot of others didn't finish listening to it, either, having no desire to finish listening to their bias crap. A doctor's oath does not go by what you think they should or should not do! There is nothing in their oath about telling patients to take vaccinations when they feel the risks out weighs the benefits. Many of them are being censored because they don't think like everyone else. Their oath is to their patients not to what another doctor or what Ana, Cenk, or anyone else thinks! And having read the list of side effects at one of the vaccine makers website that is another reason to not mandate it! There is nothing in their oath about having to believe a vaccine is going to save someone's life if their judgement is different. The things some of you come up with! Oh, I listen to my doctors! Even when they kept prescribing me something that almost made me bleed too death that is clearly listed as a side effect in the med they were giving me UNTIL I learned it was listed as a side effect. There are many scientists and well known, well respected doctors that agrees with Dr. Malone! As I stated before it should be everyone's choice who to believe and who not to without people like Ana, Cenk, and others trying to influence people when they do NOT tell ALL the other side of the story! Are you even aware of 4,600+ doctors and scientists accusing covid policymakers of crimes against humanity? That's how many that signed that declaration as of this past October. Could be more has signed it since then. You would probably think they are all quacks lol But like I said everyone can decide for their self who to believe and who not too believe without people like Ana, Cenk, or you that are not doctors trying to influence others what decision to make. There should be a debate from all of them not censoring any of them.

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..."

  10504. Jeff LaClaire 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!

  10516.  @horsepanther  PETE "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ "In February, Pete Buttigieg stepped into the Manhattan office of the Wall Street Veteran Charles Myers to talk politics over Deli Sandwiches" 2020 Democrats "Cozy Up" To Wall Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cjmWpYsMM Pete Buttigieg is No Progressive, But Cable News Want You to Believe Otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE-4GxZvbXI&t=190s Pete Buttigieg Turns To Corporate Bundlers To Raise Cash Rising Democratic star Pete Buttigieg enlists Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fundraisers to build his 2020 campaign war chest https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/17/pete-buttigieg-enlists-barack-obama-hillary-clinton-fundraisers-for-2020-campaign.html Buttigieg EXPOSED As A Centrist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBan-nWNDg

  10601.  @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

  10602.  @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.

  10603.  @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! 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 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."

  10606.  @btccoins5514  I won't forget Bernie!! Yes, it took people to get many hard policies passed and I also know Bernie was for some of them leading on them when it was NOT politically popular risking his own political career!! Just like it wasn't popular last primary when he was talking about Medicare for all and other policies. If he was a follower he would had never pushed the policies he is for that the others are not for. ALL OF THE CANDIDATES had to sign to support the nominee. I voted for Bernie for his policies that have not changed not for who he endorsed in the last primary or who he will in this one. I know on the VOTING floor he has gone against them in both parties and that is NOT a follower that does that such as when he voted against the Patriot Act that took some of our freedoms away while many in both parties voted for it. Such as the bad trade deals that most in both parties voted for and he voted against. Such as he lead AGAINST the Iraq war and did NOT follow the others. Such as when Obama and Biden pushed Social Security cuts with almost every Dem on board Bernie did NOT follow and instead he started a movement against that and thankfully those cuts didn't pass as well as standing on picket lines when others didn't as well as getting higher wages for some workers while other politicians were silent just to give a few examples so don't tell me to forget Bernie when he hasn't forgotten us just because he doesn't do things the way you think he should! If you have the backbone run for office and get those things done! Cenk attacked them hard and lost. Tulsi took out Harris at the time and it gained her no votes so you are wrong thinking you have all the right answers on why Bernie isn't winning!!

  10612. 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.

  10669. Anti mandates TRUE Bobby doesn't believe anyone should be forced to put something in their body they do not want! Anti V's NOT true! He has had most of them, given them all to his children, would NOT ban them is not someone against them. Someone truly against them would ban them. By the way he has Scientists and Doctors on his side, too, on that issue. Regardless of agreeing with his political views or not over a million signatures to get him on the ballots that the D's have fought in every way possible is NOT for voters rights the way D's claim. The D's of today are nothing like his dad and uncle. If Bobby's endorsement of Trump does help Trump win the D's will have no one to blame but themselves. The 1st A is not for people that agree with others! As long as it's peaceful there should be no restrictions on speech or it does go against the 1st A regardless if you think someone is honest in their speech or not. For sure if someone cares MORE about bears than people then by all means they shouldn't vote for Bobby. He didn't ki LL the bear! Bobby literally took on corp corruption for many years. Helped a lot of PEOPLE and representing a lot of people where the spills were. As for the whole worm thing. A lot of people get that from contaminated food. He talks for hours about many DIFFERENT subjects in details, events, gives dates, studies, all without reading off of anything! He is very intelligent regardless of what you think of him. It's not being pro Putin not wanting a nuclear WA r! I won't vote for Trump or Harris!

  10684.  @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.

  10692. YES UNEMPLOYMENT benefits every person out of work, A FJG, expand existing programs, stop mortgage foreclosures Medicare for all, emergency payments but NO to UBI too many risks with that. Just like we ended up with a Republican healthcare plan under Obama there is that same risk with UBI that we would end up with a Charles Murray UBI version that would hurt the middle class and poor more than it would help them. I won't ever support UBI. Starting around 25:28 "They were fighting for a neoliberal UBI instead of a job guarantee and expanded Social Security because neoliberalism is not progressivism at all. The concept of a Universal Basic Income sounds tasty it's like a nice little salad with all kinds of candies on it until you realize that you're buying capitalist products with your UBI which means the capitalist still controls the price which means the capitalist still controls the supply which means the capitalist still controls whether or not your UBI is enough to afford their goods and services which means your consumption unit which means you have no protections which means you have no standing which means once again you have fallen for the oldest neoliberal an ran trick and it was populism that pushed the UBI. It wasn't common sense and it certainly wasn't knowledge. It was people that were wafer-thin that didn't do the homework that glom on because they're desperate and I get the desperate folks..."

  10696. force11111111 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!

  10703.  @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! "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! 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

  10705.  @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.

  10711.  @Wulrus_Jones  Why can't you just say it correctly? They are fighting for what they want but just not fighting for it the way you want when you want or how you want! Joe Mansion doesn't care how many Americans hate him because he has Corp Dems and Republicans on his side! That is why he had no problem holding the bill up he doesn't care people get mad at him as long as it's not his paid donors. Progressives do care as they fight for progressive policies they knew Americans, well a lot of Americans, needed help THEN/NOW!! I can only imagine the hate that would had came their way from those Americans that wanted that bill to pass THEN if they had held it up and that is the case otherwise the majority of Americans would not had polled supporting that bill even though most also want higher wages they knew they needed money and/or unemployment benefits NOW!! I am not sure about you but I rather have the stimulus checks for now than higher wages as people out of work it is not going to help them if the min wage is raised! While I do want them to keep fighting for higher wages, too. If they were not fighting for us we would had nothing in that bill for us. Can you even begin to imagine what the bills would be like if there was not any progressives fighting for us? No, probably not as you are too self centered in getting everything you want or nothing? If you were so against them voting for that bill as it was without more, I hope you were also against accepting the stimulus checks in it? At least that would make your arguments more honest that they really are your arguments.

  10713.  @Wulrus_Jones  My facts were correct on what the House passed. Where I didn't follow through with until now is the changes the Senate made and then after that with the oncoming deadline the progressives in the House was not going to hold up the bill any further! Also when talking about the income limit on getting the checks I was talking about on getting the FULL amount of the stimulus checks. Actually IMO individuals making over $50,000 and couples making over $100,000 does not need any stimulus checks so I don't think someone can be considered not being a progressive or not fighting for progressive policies if they vote on not giving wealthier people stimulus checks. Didn't Manchin's state vote for Trump? If so, not only does he have Corp Dems and Republicans on his side but the people in his state, too. I can only imagine how much more hate progressives would had got if they had held up that bill any longer that many people needed THEN/NOW! Especially with unemployment checks fixing to run out. As I wrote the majority of Americans support the bill that passed but anyone that thinks the bill shouldn't had passed shouldn't accept the stimulus checks. What do you think Americans would had got this past year if there were no progressives in the House like there use to be? But they are still a minority. I also say again, most that criticize them are the very ones that would not go up against even half of what they are. You act like they have given up on fighting for raising the min wage, etc. when they haven't. I think stimulus checks are much more beneficial for now than raising the min wage when so many are out of work and so many small businesses suffering right now to have to pay higher wages now that would probably send them out of business if they have not already gone out.

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?

I do NOT listen to the major news media with the exception of youtube short clips when I see a caption that I want to watch which can be from any of them Fox News included as much as I don't like Fox News I don't like any of them. I Think you would had gathered that if you had read my comment I don't believe in the Russia Russia Russia crap. I do a lot of research from all sources! 2. I am not a Obama supporter! While I didn't read (again!) all you wrote but the part I did read I agree with you. 3. You have given a lot of opinions even though I haven't read the all. I have vision problems and when I see comments as long as yours I don't read them all and eventually won't read any of them. I would say after I write this, I am at that point now with your comments! 4. You need to do some better research on what's going on with Venezuela but as one sided as you are with the priorities you have i doubt you will. Now, I told you I am moving on but you keep asking me questions and typing such long comments I don't have time to read them all even if I wanted to and even if I had better vision. You are not going to change my mind no matter how much you write! You are selfish, one sided, closed minded, while I have acknowledged (from research) where I agree with you, and I've already been through a lot of research on both sides with an open mind when I started researching before I left the Republican party, and definitely I am not selfish caring about issues passing that I've already named. I am not even going to skim anymore of your comments. But will leave you with just a little perspective from Dr. Ron Paul because he is very much anti government but even he knows both parties control one way or the other so again it's a matter of what someone's priorities are. "The Republicans are the ones who have introduced the legislation to increase government control and abuse of the medical care system..." "A lot of big programs were passed by the Republicans" "Some of the stuff that Sanders would say I would agree on foreign policy we supported same bills and anti corporatism and but when it comes to drugs Trump wants to put them all in jail" "He's (Trump) an interventionist and he's very much an authoritarian..." End of quotes by Dr. Ron Paul. BYE!!

  10762.  @SodaiGoku  The biggest problem I have with vegans is so many of them think diet is a one size fits all diet which yes, they think that or they wouldn't be trying to force their vegan diet on everyone else and that's NOT to say you are trying to do that! Yes, I get frequently check ups and the only time my health was failing is when I was NOT eating meat and more than one doctor telling me I should eat small amounts of lean organic meat and when I did my good health returned and you can argue that until the cows come home but it's ME and MY health that I know what diet is best for ME. The only reasons at times I slipped off of eating lean organic meats is not because I was trying to go vegan but because of how expensive organic meats are. There are NO substitutes for ME so thanking you in advance for not trying to tell me there is IF you were thinking that lol I could give a long testimony that goes into more details on that as well as post articles that show lean organic meat when having a health lifestyle including NO processed foods, no sugar, no unhealthy oils added, etc. then small amounts of organic meats is NOT going to make someone unhealthy but if you or anyone else thinks you are more healthy with the vegan diets you are having I would never try to tell you that your diet is not the best for you so all I am saying is vegans need to stop thinking that someone else can not be healthy on a diet with organic lean meats in small portions because that just isn't their place to do. Some vegan sites are now even having to put disclaimers that their advice is not to be replaced by a doctor's advice. That is not the exact words but means that because just like someone can't claim natural remedies should be taken over a doctor's advice neither should saying a vegan diet should be taken over a doctor's advice.

Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  10801.  @americanpatriot3746  You didn't use the words Bernie incites violence but you sure as heck seemed to be implying it with you being so focused on what his alleged supporters have done! Seriously, you don't know the kind of Revolution Bernie wants/wanted? If you knew anything about his record you would know it's for progressive policies NOT for violence and NOT for communism! Why are you insisting on talking about people that allege to be Bernie supporters and not any Republican supporters that have tried or actually harmed others? I find that really interesting! I wrote in this thread about Bernie voted against the Patriot Act that took some of our freedoms away that many other politicians on both sides voted for but you seem so one sided like you don't care about any truths that doesn't fit on how you want to see things! Policies that countries like Canada and Australia have had for many years that Bernie wants here are not communistic policies anymore than they are communistic countries! That's the kind of revolution Bernie has made crystal clear he wants is the policies countries like Canada and Australia have he wants here! I never saw Aussies out in the streets trying to stop or reverse their Medicare for all but they sure are out in huge numbers against the vaccination mandates. Very easy to see the DIFFERENCES in what heads countries towards communism and what doesn't. You do know there are more drugs that are life saving drugs other than just Insulin? Although that is one very urgent drug people need there is also others and I think the lives of people are just as important if they need Insulin or another drug for another life threatening medical condition. Bernie took people to Canada to get Insulin cheaper there so he's been fighting for cheaper meds, Medicare for all, here for many years before they even started talking about it here. If I am going to support a candidate or politician I am going to know exactly what that means, what their record is including their voting record, what policies they are for/against. Not all supporters follow a politician or candidate for those reasons so if people follow someone while trying to go in a different direction that is not on the politician or candidate! You think it's two different things Dems and Republicans and while on a few things there is but most in both parties vote for the same things, more money for more wars, Corp welfare, The Patriot Act, supported by the same Corp donors, etc.

  10802.  @americanpatriot3746  I am not disputing that he was an ex campaign manager! What I was saying that you didn't seem to get is that anyone can say they support someone that doesn't mean they really do because if they really did support that person they wouldn't go against what the candidate stands for! Just like someone could say they are a Trump supporter just for the sake of trying to cause trouble for him to make him look bad. I could go on and on about the violence that has been done in the name of Trump especially since Trump out of his own mouth does incite violence but I didn't want to go down that road because my posts were about what Bernie has done, his record, what he stands for, what he is for/against. I don't blame someone for what others do UNLESS they incite it! Bernie is not about all the things you wrote and he has made it clear exactly what he is for/against! The only comment that Bernie made when it came to Castro was something about them being able to read and write. Well, guess you think that's a bad thing. Bernie wasn't saying that he supported any of the bad policies Castro supports. You are just like the rest that takes something out of context or smearing him. I SAW enough of the actual events regarding the violence at the Capitol. I am not a Pelosi supporter as I told you I am not a Dem. I've made it clear that I know there is violence on both sides and I don't condone it on either side. I see too many Dems talking about the violence Republicans cause and too many Republicans talking about the violence Dems cause instead of calling it wrong on both sides. I really don't know why you keep going on with something that had nothing to do with the points I was making. I only pointed out about the mandates because that is what is leading to communism and not the policies Bernie has been fighting for. Trump talked about how he and Kim Jong-un wrote beautiful letters, how they fell in love. It's Trump's words. So does that mean Trump supports all of his bad policies? He even said Kim Jong-un was "very honorable"! Now, we have both gone in directions that my posts were not intended to go off on so that's it for me for lack of time but I do appreciate the civil discussion and I am also very much against the mandates so really don't need to take up so much time on the parts we agree on. I am sorry that you got sick but good to know you recovered.

  10864.  @youngatheart5376  I had a feeling it was something like that but Bernie was really in a catch 22 because he was bashed for not supporting Hillary more than bashed because he did support her at the end. I remember when Gore gave up on the recounts thinking he shouldn't had and I didn't even vote for him but he was so ridiculed and some of them by his own supporters. People are so different sometimes politicians just can't win. I didn't like it and in fact hated it when Bernie supported Hillary but I know he sincerely believed Trump is worse. How can we fault him for that? I think one is as bad as the other one but thats me. I can't expect everyone to think the way I do but I do know on issues Bernie has not changed and that is what people need to think about and listening to his speakers at the rally should make anyone feel bad if that is the only reasons to not support him the ones you gave. Those are personal decisions if we think one is a lesser evil than the other or if we think evil is evil where we won't vote for either one. I keep my mind on the good Bernie has done to help me forgive him for what I disagree with him on. I remember how worried some seniors and veterans were when Obama was pushing social security cuts with many corp dems behind him and Bernie was almost a lone voice speaking out against it as well as other important issues through all of these years. Him taking people to Canada to get meds there they can't afford here. I think of all the good he has done and get past my dislike of him supporting someone that I really didn't like (Hillary). I don't agree with him on everything but there is not a politician I agree with on everything. Bernie really believes he can change the DNC. I don't believe he can but he really believes it and hasn't changed on issues so I haven't changed on who my vote goes to. As far as all the election that he needed to speak out on. I think he knew he would be so ridiculed on it like the few have that spoke out against it. He just felt he wanted to live politically to fight another day for all of those issues that had been fighting for all of these years. He probably remember how Gore was done by his own supporters. Another catch 22 for Bernie. I know this was long.

  10866. 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!!

  10903. Hogwash! Bernie is fighting for the changes we need. If you agree with the policies Bernie is fighting for and has fought for decades but don't support him then you are cutting off your nose to spite your face and shooting yourself in the foot, too. Being division hurts the progressive cause. Tulsi has said the same thing about trying to change the Dem party. If you think they should do a Nader that is not what the majority of this country wants. I've heard too many people say they expect Bernie to support the nominee. They hate that Trump that much. Did you hear what the actress said about voting for Biden even though she claims to be a progressive? Sure other people want Bernie to run as an Independent even though he would be excluded from the debates and do no more good than Nader, Dr. Paul, and Jill Stein has! Bernie doesn't tell the other Dems to take Corp money, to be for fracking, endless wars, social security cuts, bad trade deals, etc. I am voting for Bernie for his voting record and because I agree with him on his issues more than any of the other candidates. He's not perfect but as long as he is fighting for those issues I'm not going to be so closed minded to think he has to do it the way I think he should. If he is wasting his time, others that have gone 3rd party have wasted their time more because Bernie has made accomplishments. What has Dr. Stein and Nader accomplished? Some people get bashed relentlessly if they even suggest they would vote 3rd party to give the win to Trump. I don't agree with that but too many other people do.

  10914. Run for office if you can do better and do better unless you are too weak to! "...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..."

  10921.  @MK-oz2lf  Ok, you got me started LOL Bernie didn't bend any knees! He did what he said he would do and if you were listening to more people than just those like Jimmy Dore you would know there is A LOT of people that expect Bernie to support the nominee because whether you agree or not there is a lot of people that think Trump is worse and would bash Bernie if he suggested anything else and for sure Bernie was not going to do a Nader no matter who thought what of him supporting Hillary! The super delegates in the first round made it impossible for him to win the last primary and if he hadn't done what he said and support the nominee his political career would had ended and he wouldn't had been able to accomplish what he has including still fighting for the same issues he has for decades. He didn't have to evolve on any issues, either like Tulsi has. Some people bashed Bernie for supporting Hillary others bashed him for not supporting her MORE. It was a can't win situation for him. If someone is for the same issues Bernie is and they are smearing him not only is it divisive but it could cause both him and Tulsi to loose and then we loose and instead of blaming super delegates I will be blaming Jimmy Dore and others for being so divisive! Tulsi placing country over party? Well, a lot of people are calling her a sheepdog for the Dem party, too! When Jimmy asked her about going 3rd party she basically said the same about trying to change the Dem party when some people think any candidate running in the Dem party is corrupt. Jimmy didn't go off on a rant over her not going 3rd party but yet Jimmy bashed Bernie for not going third party. Anyone with any sense would understand why Bernie and Tulsi would not go 3rd party! Tulsi has voted for more Military Budget increases than Bernie has! That doesn't seem very anti wars to me. Bernie is not perfect but neither is Tulsi. Mike Gravel is more anti wars than both of them! Bernie sure hasn't gone to Wall Street executives, either, like Tulsi is now going to them asking them to raise money for her. I don't care why she is doing it. She has opened that door that she never should had. I am voting for Bernie for his issues not for who he supported in the last primary. There is nothing soft about Bernie's voting record and that's where it counts most!

  10925.  @ruby_fox  If you would had read my comment the way I wrote it you would had seen I wrote about Bernie being one of the few progressives that has fought for us for decades and well BEFORE (key word before) having the majority of Americans on his side! So, we did not have a majority on our side until recent years for some policies and even more recent for others. People do not have to be in any party to have the power to peacefully protest for progressive policies and haven't seen too much of that in the huge numbers needed when it comes to some of the progressive policies! But just sit back and complain about those that are trying to do something for us. You are giving nothing but speculation on what the People's party will actually accomplish as you don't know what they will or won't accomplish. Some of the progressives are not folding just because they don't do things exactly the way you want when you want or how you want but in the meantime make sure you help to try to destroy them because they can't pass every policy you want by their selves or fight how you want them to. I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't a huge supporter of Jimmy Dore, a divisive hypocrite=different standards for different candidates that didn't even support the only candidate for Medicare for all (not Medicare for those that want it or for some) but now suddenly for Medicare for all. And since you want to point out what the majority of Americans are for make sure you understand the majority of Americans wanted this bill passed NOW and to not wait. Or is is just what the majority wants that you agree with?

  10926.  @ruby_fox  Hogwash! Bernie did call them out as well as calling out Big Pharma, the Insurance companies, Wall Street, AND the policies he is for that they are not for and that is calling them out that way, too! He also called out what they did to him in the 2016 primary but considering all the hate he got that time and this time he was not going to do anymore to help Trump get elected. If you don't understand that then that is your problem. Even Dr. Cornel West understood that he would vote for Biden to get rid of Trump. Bernie cares about us but he also cares about this country, apparently, more than it seems you do! Bernie has also been a great leader in certain movements such as the one he started to help stop Obama's proposed Social Security cuts which took a lot of guts considering he was just about the only one against that and considering how popular Obama was/is. Bernie is not perfect but none is! If you think the People's Party will have the perfect candidate, good luck with that. I am on board with the People's Party unless I hear a lot of their supporters hating on Bernie or Nina Turner. Just like I tune out channels that have showed their selves to be nothing but hateful hypocrites I just don't support that at all. As long as someone is fighting for progressive policies I only call out votes they cast on the floor that I disagree with. Already some people hating on Nina Turner. Progressives are so divided I can tell you this as long as that continues we will never have a progressive president People's Party or any other party! Part of the majority supporting this bill now was to not chance getting nothing if they waited and continued to try to get the rest.

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!

  10995. I see so MANY people unhappy with Biden with good reasons! Then I come here to this page and read comments and realize just how many have NO clue whatsoever what's going on AND what's coming. Sleep through it all would be best for anyone that actually thinks things are good in this country. That actually believes Biden is good for this country. SMH I am a independent that is fully aware of what's going on! From the wars where obviously Biden supporters could care less how many have and are dying to our freedoms we are losing. If digital currency is enacted it will be the final nail in the coffin of our freedoms but I guess Biden supporters will be among those that will own nothing and be happy. Bobby is NOT anti jabs! He is pro jab safety. I didn't realize there could be so many against that! All the DATA in his book there has been absolutely NO one that has been able to prove any of it wrong! Some have tried to with showing other data but his data they have NOT been able to prove wrong and in fact it has been PROVEN that Bobby was right from the beginning on what we were all told that is now proven wrong. The very fact Pfizer wanted to hide THEIR OWN DATA from us for 75 years is very telling and what has now been revealed in that same data has some red flags but keep on believing they did no wrong. Sleep on 😴💤😴but when all of our freedoms are gone just remember my comment here. I could care less if people that want those jabs get a thousand of them!! But I do care about the people that should have the choice to say no!

  11007.  @x1nightskyx  Hogwash! 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!

  11026.  @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

  11050. Are you even for Bernie's policies? Or just being purposely divisive? "...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..."

  11061.  @pookiewood  There is a YUGE difference in Republicans and Dems (the people)! While there are a few crazy Dems that would call for violence there isn't near as many as there are Republicans that would and have done violence they are such a angry people. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Take Trump for example. Whether you agree with his politics or not he does incite anger and violence among his supporters. Bernie is not like that! Even though some do label him as an angry old man he is not but rather a person full of compassion for every day people. Does not mean he is perfect but it does mean if he was the mean person some would want him to be then he might not have the compassion for so many people that he does! Anyone knowing Bernie's record, his voting record knows Bernie is not weak! He just won't incite the anger some actually would want him to. Those that are saying Bernie is weak. Have any of them been arrested for protesting for anyone's rights? Or just protesting to go do what they did at the Capitol? I could give a long list to show Bernie is not weak but I will zero in on just one of them. Most everyone knows how popular Obama is. I am not a Obama supporter but it amazes me his popularity when he went back on some of his campaign promises and how he was really the weak one! Even a Republican politician said the Republicans got "70% of what they wanted"! He was too weak to go against them and get what the people need. When Obama tried to cut Social Security with most every Dem on board and we know Republicans want to cut it who stood up against Obama on that? Started a movement to STOP those Social Security cuts, Senator Bernie Sanders went up against him and in fact he did help stop those cuts. But Bernie was not about to do anything at all to risk Trump winning another term. Most, including Dr. Cornel West, understood that as even Dr. West talked about supporting Biden to get rid of Trump. Bernie cares more about this country then he does what the haters will say about him! Bernie is still fighting for progressive policies like he always has! Going up against a lot of evil that as I wrote most people would never do and I am sure that includes all of those people that are hating on him! Bernie lost the primary for the reasons I already listed. Not because he was weak!

  11077. 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

  11081. I am not fooled, either, Pmail Mail! I couldn't disagree more with Yang's policies! And so does Richard Wolff, Jared Bernstein, and the over 200 economists that have signed onto Bernie raising the min wage to $15 AND to his Medicare for all bill. There is no way BOTH Ubi and Medicare for all would pass both the House and Senate and we need Medicare for all more! UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY more quotes from other videos and links.... 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. 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." "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." "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! 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." Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  11097. vinni3c 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!

  11100.  @IgnorantC  Dang I was thinking there was only going to be one yang banger hypocrite today but can see there's another lol All some of you hypocritical yangers can do is criticize someone for posting so many 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. At least I don't post crap like this.... "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!"

  11168. Seriously? You really think anyone loves their dog when they abandon it to die? So, you would do the same abandon, abuse, or neglect a dog or a child and think you deserve to get that dog or child back? Let me let you in on REALITY if someone loves a dog or a child they do NOT I repeat do NOT leave them to die. If they could not rescue the dog their self they WOULD seek HELP from people to rescue their dog. They had how many days to try to save their dog to get help? But didn't call the news? Dog Rescues? Friends? Family? or anyone else to help them rescue their dog and you even think they should get the dog back? SMH and really says a lot about you. And you really want to compare a living creature that FEELS pain, love, hunger, thirst, hot, cold, to a TENT?? I hope you don't have any pets or children. If someone leave a child which is also a BREATHING being because the child got hurt and they were too heavy to carry the child to safety and did NOT seek any help to help save the child and someone finds and rescues the child goes to social services do you think the parents could easily get their child back from social services just because the child is theirs? If you do you obviously don't know much about Social Services that have taken children into custody. No doubt those parents would go to jail and in that case they would not get their child back! By you referring to the dog as "it" tells me exactly how you can think the dog and the tent deserve the same ownership laws. I don't know if all states have laws against abusing dogs but some definitely do. Abandoning a dog is abusing him or her!! If I had anything to do with it abandoning, abusing, neglecting a pet would result in BIG FINES AND JAIL TIME!! Why don't you not eat or drink for 7 days and then tell me if you think that person deserves to get the dog back?? Maybe you are a child not even an adult posting your comment and if that is the case your parents are doing a terrible job teaching you how to properly care for pets.

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 and said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far. I wonder how they would want to be paid back? Maybe by not following through on Medicare for all. She is all over the place on Medicare for all and said she would take corp donations in the general if she makes it that far.

  11240.  @rhythmandacoustics  Oh, I know the math having medical bills and knowing friends that have them! And you obviously know nothing of what Charles Murray's version of UBI is! Oh, you left out a lot when it comes to Bernie's record and for sure many bills wouldn't pass without Amendments so they are just as important as the bill itself. Also just as important is a president that won't sign any bad bills into law.... 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!

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!

  11273.  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, 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.

  11279. Arther Fuller 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!

  11305. And don't forget Yang on CNN Town Hall basically said the gov should determine was if accurate Journalism. That's only one reason I would not vote for him! CNN Town Hall with Yang......30:39 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrnTBXmgqNw Yang is asked "As president you would appoint a news and information OmBudsman who would have the power to punish those who are seeking to misinform the American public and you say there should be penalties for persistent and destructive mis statements that undermine public discourse do you really think you should police speech" Yang replied, "Well, right now we are on the verge of a very difficult time so Americans can't trust what we see and this and this is before deep fakes hit the Internet where they can literally just doctor it so you and I have a conversation and it seems like we're saying whatever it is they want us to say and there are foreign actors are maliciously actually corrupting our democratic processes and then frankly having a good laugh about it like on the other side of the world like their investing a relatively modest sum of money and their seeing it's causing havoc so as a society what is the greater danger here is the greater danger that we're just going to descend into cacophony and no one can even agree on the facts anymore because in this day and age it'd be extraordinary hard for the gov. to somehow curb or sensor in systematic way but we have to be able to sort out people who are maliciously informing the American people and that to me is a much greater danger that we face right now". I don't want the gov sorting out people that they think is maliciously informing us!

  11360.  @jameshumphrey9939  And the one you support sucks more! Like I said to you before if you want to post in every thread here about Yang I will counter your post with why I won't vote for Yang! Bernie has enough sense to know that BOTH UBI and Medicare for all would never pass the House and Senate And that we need Medicare for all MORE than we need UBI! It's more like Yang gangers are too scared to learn the TRUTH about UBI!! 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 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 was saying he would eliminate the safety net which would hurt the poor people more than UBI helps them! It would also hurt the middle class more to not get Medicare for all. 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes I'm no Hillary supporter but she said “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! Under "Who Pays" https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/free-cash-handouts-what-is-universal-basic-income-or-ubi.html UBI is Neoliberalism on Steroids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoFfmIDGqY Yang has also acknowledged there are problems to be solved with the VAT. If you trust him to solve those problems, fine, I do NOT! And then there's this.... 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!

  11371. People have a right to vote for who they WANT for president, period. Many do NOT want Biden or Trump and I know that's hard for some people to accept. Whoever wins it is because of the ones that vote for them, period. Whatever your thoughts are don't expect everyone to have the same thoughts. And saying his age in a negative comment LOL Considering the ages of Trump and Biden that really was funny LOL His "entire" family that is NOT true, I have listened here a lot but you lost credibility with that statement because it's not true. I didn't think this guy would say something not true but guess he will! Some of his family work in his campaign! Some of the others considering where they work it's no surprise. He didn't use anyone on that ad. His campaign had nothing to do with it. If I remember right it's even at the ad that his campaign had nothing to do with that ad or words to that effect. Snowflake? Considering the cases he's taken on, what he has gone up against for many years he is definitely not that. It has also been PROVEN that V did not stop transmission and it not keep people from getting the virus and regardless of what anyone's position is for or against them everyone should have choice. They do list side effects on the inserts, duh, so no matter how rare they are that alone should give everyone the choice to take them or not. It's also come to light they were not as safe as they lead everyone to think they are. There are doctors and scientists on BOTH sides of this so everyone can choose which ones they believe or not. Not some talk show or news person telling us. I could give reasons why I won't for Biden or Trump but I am sure most here are not interested in that.

  11373. 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!

  11374.  @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.

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 "...

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! 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".

  11385.  @gentlefierceness  It's amazing to me how much more you and others want Bernie to set his self up for even more attacks! Bernie should not get his self involved in the accusations of sexual assault that Biden allegedly did! I am NOT saying it didn't happen but neither am I saying it did because I don't get into taking sides on matters like that without EVIDENCE!! It is horrible if it happened and I wish there were evidence to prove it but so far all I've heard is her word against Biden's. Bernie should never get into those kinds of discussions as much as there is already attacking Bernie! As for the the stimulus package the alternative was those unemployed workers would had got nothing! I've heard from people that are glad they will get it even though it should had been more. I can only imagine the criticism if Bernie had not voted for it. He can't win no matter what he does or doesn't do! Robert Reich also gives praises to Biden or he has so I'm not interested in what people say that are always on both sides of the fence. I've talked to enough Biden supporters to know why at least they didn't vote for Bernie! In case I haven't already mentioned it in this thread not having time to go back and see, there was a lot against Bernie on why he didn't win over Biden supporters that some people just won't accept. I DO! And it's not because Bernie didn't attack the way some wanted him to. As for me, I care more about people dying that need Medicare for all then I do who Bernie calls his friend. I left the Republican party to vote on those policies and so glad I put that above all of the distractions some people want to keep throwing out there.

  11386.  @gentlefierceness  Bernie did say he was the stronger candidate to beat Trump. Now, we all know polls can be wrong but there is polling that shows Biden beats Trump and for sure a lot can happen between now and then so I won't play psychic and predict that Biden definitely can't win even though I don't think he can, either. NO! That's not all Biden supporters care about even though that is number one even with some Bernie supporters that have made it clear, some of them at Bernie's town halls that they EXPECT Bernie to support the nominee as many voters think anyone can beat Trump. Not smart thinking but I can't control how people think. I can just say when I disagree LOL You act like Bernie didn't and isn't fighting for anything else for us. Bernie was among those responsible for getting that in this last bill for unemployed workers so of course he was going to vote for it while being against the rest of the bill. That's all I hear from some voters is compromise even among some of BERNIE'S supporters they expect Bernie to compromise to work with the moderates. Of course we know some things Bernie won't compromise on and he gets bashed for that, too. Bernie is still fighting for more for us while others just keep on trying to find fault. Maybe, there are others in the Senate that said they would join with Bernie on pushing for a better stimulus for us if he had voted for the last one. You never know but he does have to work with them as he is just about the only one that has fought and is fighting for us he knows the best way to try to do that. Dang if it meant getting Medicare for all I would say let the wealthy have their tax cuts and corp bail outs. Bernie supporters are too divided where there is no way Bernie could please his base, either. Trump won on LIES! And if Bernie was mean like Trump maybe Bernie wouldn't care just like Trump doesn't care about people that have died because they didn't have the money for healthcare also Trump not caring about Seniors and Veterans that he cuts their Social Security so people really need to think when they say Bernie should be like Trump.... And I know you didn't mean like Trump on those issues but that is part of how Trump is mean going after others also not caring about others!

  11387.  @gentlefierceness  I'm to the point I am not even going to waste my time reading most of the Bernie should do this, Bernie should do that, Bernie should do the other. YOU HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT SO RUN FOR OFFICE AND GET IT DONE! He is one person that has stood up for us even during times it risked his political career and instead of those that claim to support him uniting to promote his policies got to find fault. He gets pressure from the Corp Dems, the major news media, Republicans, lots of lies and smears from them, even among some of his own staff some pressuring him to drop out NONE OF THEM wanting Bernie to attack harder, if it was me I would had told everyone where to go years ago telling them to run for office get the policies they need since they all know just how to do it! I HAVE TALKED TO MANY BIDEN SUPPORTERS with them telling me why they didn't vote for Bernie and for the ones I've talked to it has nothing to do with what so many of you bash Bernie for not doing! I could care less who Bernie calls his friends as long as he is fighting for the policies people need. After this election all of you can do whatever you want to keep fighting but I am done with it. I don't need Bernie's policies (even though Medicare for all would save me money) but left the Republican party to fight for those that do need them but if I had read all of the criticism against him first instead of searching his record I would had stayed a Republican! Keep finding fault instead of staying focused on policies until there is no one left to fight for the policies some of you act like you want. You and others haven't seen how that hurts the movement but okay keep on bashing away! The bill did NOT rob taxpayers!! At least learn MMT so you won't give out false information!!

  11389.  @gentlefierceness  Previous bailouts Bernie voted against were not during a major pandemic with huge numbers of people getting unemployed at the same time! Not sure why you would compare those to the most recent stimulus package. And he did have something to do with getting that in there for unemployed workers so of course he is going to vote for it at the same time saying it should had been more at the same time blasting the corp bailout part of it and he is already working on another one to help people more. He is constantly trying to fight for policies we need. He's not a god he is not going to do everything the way everyone thinks he should but considering we would not had anyone talking for the policies we need if not for him he doesn't deserve all of the pressures and criticism he is getting. Pressure? I think it's enough pressure Bernie is getting from the major news media, corp Dems, Republicans, Big Pharma, the insurance companies, AND his own staff some of them pressuring him to drop out others want him to stay in. Dang, that man really can't win no matter what he does. Now, if I have said some of this already I am not going back through this thread to remember what I have said and what I haven't as many comments as I try to get to. I understand pushing Bernie on policies but I am telling you all that is against Bernie adding to that the people that are saying he should do this or he should do that or he should had done the other those that have bashed him for years has hurt our movement and only someone not paying attention would not realize that. Yep, pressure Sanders to listen to us, which us should that be? The ones wanting him to drop out? The ones wanting him to stay in? The ones wanting him to support Biden now and yes some Bernie supporters want that, too, or the ones saying he should do something else? SMH

  11395. 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." 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 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..." End of Wolff's quotes 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 There is no way BOTH Ubi and Medicare for all would pass both the House and Senate and we need Medicare for all more!

  11396. xbulsara 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!

  11406. 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..."

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."
