Doesn't even matter because he explains how it's paid for (he gives numerous options like cutting back our bloated military budget). CNN & the media work overtime to ignore any answer he ever gives on the subject.

His point was that Trump doesn't focus on the regular elitist shit that both traditional Republican & Democratic politicians focus on. The kinda shit that Harvard grads like Obama constantly allude to in their speeches. I get what he was saying.

He actually is fairly updated on politics at this point. He's had so many different guests of every background. He just doesn't have a succinct political ideology at this point though, which makes people wonder what his positions are; they don't really fit into one category or under 1 label. Also sometimes his points are vague, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.

Nah they're giving Trump credit & complimenting his ability to read a room. They're even calling him intelligent. TDS is when people have irrational need to say everything about Trump & everything he does is bad even when he does something good.

They don't claim to be.

@MovieRiotHD If you want reassurance on 1 specific policy though, Bernie has stated he will legalize Cannabis on Day ONE, which is totally within the executive power of the president to take Cannabis off the DEA's list of prohibited drugs, so you can be 100% sure, at the very least we'd have that.

@Eddy-dn1jx Except literary & philosophy works are usually brought up as platitudes by traditional politicians. They don't usually relate to people unless they have direct significance to people's lives, & thus regular people usually see it as elitist or out of touch. Fyi I'm not a Trump supporter. Just because you explain what Trump is good at doesn't automatically make you a supporter, but in terms of his rhetoric, he's so effective at engaging with his supporters because his speech is very 'straight to the point' & he does NOT waste time with useless tangents about literary works & such. Bernie Sanders is another politician that is straight to the issues & doesn't waste time talking about needless shit. Sanders is short & concise in his speech like Trump, but he takes a different approach by talking about technocratic issues & directly tying it back to people's lives & why it matters to the individual worker or citizen. It's not a coincidence that these 2 politicians are the most popular candidates in this election.

@thedream1015 He said that nobody can be sure to what the exact cost is of Medicare for All until you implement it (which is true about ANY policy), but he literally gives several options that, if you implemented all of them, would far far exceed the estimated cost. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/options-to-finance-medicare-for-all?inline=file A recent Yale study just said that Medicare for All would save $450 Billion a year. Based on that study & several others (the majority of studies say it would save Trillions over a 10 year period), we can't afford NOT to do it.

@thedream1015 "Pretty sure he said on 60 minutes he's not sure how to pay for it" That's just grossly untrue. I don't know how many times he has to answer that fucking question until people start listening to his answer.

@tigertank06 We spend more on our military than the next 10 countries combined. The idea is to withdraw troops, end our endless wars & cut the budget by not bombing 8 different countries at once.

@MovieRiotHD Sanders never swore he was going to successfully get all his plans through Congress, he said that's the American agenda he's going to fight tooth & nail for, especially among the Democratic party who have become out of touch with working people in the past few decades. I do think that if Bernie becomes president though, we will at some point get universal healthcare for all citizens. It's inevitable since every major country has it & the US is basically the last holdout on that issue.

@jettheinrich19 No it's not. We're talking about Denmark, Finland, Norway, Germany, Japan & yes I probably will move to those countries for a bit at one point. How many times do we have to say this shit until you stop trying to tell us what we believe.

@em4475 The idea isn't to cut the entire military budget. It's to end the endless wars in the Middle East. The Iraq War alone cost us nearly $8 Trillion & rising. We spend collectively around $1 Trillion a year for all Pentagon spending. This isn't some far left idea, it's an idea that is shared by populist leftists, paleo-conservatives & Libertarians. I just saw Ron Paul talking positively about Tulsi & Bernie's foreign policy just the other day. They & even Tucker Carlson agree that we need to bring our troops home, stop bombing 8 countries at once, & reinvest that money at home. It's the same reason why it was Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul, & Mike Lee who spearheaded the use of the War Powers Act to try to stop the Saudi-led genocide in Yemen & move war power back into the hands of Congress just as the founding fathers wanted. Here is what MLK Jr. said about the funding of militarism vs the cost of individual citizens domestically (remember this was in the 1960s): "It is estimated that we spend $322,000 for each enemy we kill, while we spend in the so-called war on poverty in America only about $53.00 for each person classified as 'poor'. And much of that $53 goes for salaries of people who are not poor." To answer your question though, ending our wars/bombings abroad is not the only form of funding being proposed (in fact it was far from the biggest source of funding proposed as an option). There are many other types of funding like a speculation tax on Wall Street transactions (less than half of 1%), something that only effects the very rich & stock brokers. It also reigns in dangerous/risky trading that hurts the health & volatility of our markets. I can keep going but I imagine you get the point for now.

@satuurn5245 Joe has shown interest towards Trump & Sanders. He's also shown interest towards Yang & Tulsi. His views are more anti-establishment than any one solid ideology, which is why he's able to have both Alex Jones as a guest & Dr. Cornel West. I know Sanders specifically sometimes triggers a tribalist reaction (so does Trump), but c'mon, trying to insinuate Joe is some kind of 'Bernie bro' is just dumb.
