  1. no Bernie no sound no comments about Vilsack good job everyone now can we make smores?

  2. if he wins a majority he's automatically in, but if he wins a plurality, that applies

  3. Yang had the best new idea of the night, how to deal with money in politics. Truly visionary and practical at the same time.

  4. Say it aint so, Joe!

  5. wow that's low

  6. oh that's cool

  7. The term is "acquired" immunity. One reason it doesn't get attention is because everyone is using an incorrect word. Natural immunity requires no exposure. E.g., fish have natural immunity to covid (maybe).

  8. If he believes what he says, he's even worse than I thought.

  9. Oh it was just Brown and Columbia, and he only did economics, political science, and law. How could such trivial stuff be useful for a president? So what if as CEO he expanded a test-prep company from 5 to 69 franchises in three years. So what if he started a nonprofit that grew 30 times in size, helping people in over 20 cities to become entrepreneurs, a word derived from French. Also his father only had "over 69" patents. The USA needs more than 69 patents to be great again.

  10.  @randytessman6750  I think the lesson is for pundits, don't be dismissive. Say "If/ when he eventually drops out..." Actually it's for all of us to not act omniscient.

  11.  @gracieb.3054  I have lived in Hawaii for 20 years and seen the voter suppression and other stuff the party does. I am democratic but cynical. . I seen too much. . Example: every couple years the Republicans in the State House, all two of them, introduce a bill to stop taxing food. . Seems like a Democratic ideal, right? But the Dems vote it down! Year after year they vote it down, while people working three jobs starve so they can afford gas to idle on the H1. . Don't get me started. If they were true Democrats it would be awesome. Hawaii is a wonderful place but the politics are rubbish.

  12. thank you for that. it's hard to get good info. worldometers has numbers and graphs for many countries and states but no graphs for AZ

  13. Public health workers are awesome. The top political appointees... not so much :(

  14. it was over a month, but I do agree it could be partly statistical variation

  15. Yup that makes sense. The Elite won't like her policies and they, unlike "white liberals," really keep up on the issues. They have the skill to do things like you say, support one candidate just to split the vote away from another, so neither win. But the Elite are not "white liberals" like Krystal keeps saying. Tons of white liberals are poor, alternative lifestyle, college students, etc. that in no way qualify as the elite. I'm really disappointed in the lack of precision in Krystal's language, even if she has a good point in there somewhere.
    6
  16. The democratic machine appointed her. They own Hawaii politics. They are basically republicans in policy and a mob in practice.
    6
  17.  @aaron2709  Yes, proof-of-concept is a good term. One might further the defense Yang by asking, "If Warren donated campaign money to hurricane relief in Georgia, would that also be illegal?" Yang is brilliant because 1) it's already getting news, and 2) if he gets sued, he gets free publicity (and a fine at most). He can't lose for winning.
    6
  18.  @germywormy  So was Clinton, but some of those people were innocent people that the CIA wanted to have dirt on. They used Ep to set up honey traps. . So Trump and Bill might not be like that, and Joe is probably just fine, people don't like old world displays of affections. . A lot of America is so prudish they think it's wrong to show one female breast during halftime. Come on folks, it's half time!

  19. They wanted to make M4A look bad, but they didn't want Bernie to answer it because he'd smack that softball.
    5
  20. she did
    5
  21. You are the first person to correctly use the term "natural immunity"! I wish I could send you a fruit basket. No joke. Be healthy everyone!
    5
  22. what is it? nobody has defined it, not Pete nor anyone on the panel

  24. Warren may be the choice of "white liberals" as Krystal says, but "white liberals" are not the "elite." To me the "elite" are a couple steps above the upper middle class and the merely rich. They are the ones that make a lot of decisions. Anyone with a net worth over 50m would be crazy to support her, with her confiscation of wealth tax. "Two cents! Two cents!" might as well be "To the Guillotines!"

  25.  @mishaangelo926  Correct, no limits on speech per se. The 1a protects all speech, but shields no crime. This is wise. No words are illegal. However, committing a crime is wrong, even if words were used.
    4
  26.  @elliemaeclampett2810  I'm seriously thinking Bernie/Tulsi is the best possible ticket for the general election.   Any combo of YTB would be like spring in Narnia!   I'll probably vote for whoever of the three has the best chance in my state, vs the "others." I'm voting in Hawai'i... so it'll be hard not to vote for my favorite daughter. But if Tulsi's not going to get a delegate, and Bernie needs the vote... Bern baby Bern!!

  27. The Dating Game was good but it doesn't address the problems of today. MSNBC should go with an America's Got Talent format.
    4
  28.  @douginorlando6260  Bernie's approach is based on unity, even if some policies might not do that. Listen to his Liberty University speech, he had evangelicals cheering.
    4
  29.  @alienzenx  I just noticed, all the debate candidates had blue backgrounds except Tulsi and Andrew who had red. #boycottMSNBC starting with their advertisers like Angie's List

  30. For me it was a radio interview with Rick Hamada in Honolulu... must have been in 2012.
    3
  31. "America cannot be invaded because everyone has guns" . also, "No food anymore because the government needs more guns."
    3
  32. as a Sanders (and Andrew and Tulsi) supporter, I don't like Pete mainly because of his vague answers, and also that he doesn't truthfully represent other M4A plans. Bernie, Tulsi and Andrew are straight talkers. Marrianne is a wholistic talker. The others are talk talk talk.
    3
  33.  @antwarior  I do agree that Yang is really good. I'm just saying, ole Bern paid his peeps. He cashed his crew. The pesos have left the building. His tires have the correct tire pressure. That said, Yang is one of the best candidates we've ever seen, and I may very well vote for him. He's got the best web site by far. Yang's ideas that are super creative and practical.
    3
  34. I think he actually says a cost of 30t for his plan, vs 50t for current system. It's not even Bernie's estimate, it's big economic studies, these media peeps should be able to look up this shit in two seconds.
    3
  35.  @dojoh6889  I'm sure a lot of second jobs are under the table, now-and-then, self employed, or otherwise not captured by the statistics.
    3
  36. the 9% is for general election polls, not the primary. . yes they are ignoring her very strong polls among all voters.
    3
  37.  @Swnsasy  One of the biggest differences is age -- Bernie has the young, Warren has the old. A Bernie/Warren ticket would be tough to beat in that respect. Another such pairing is Biden/Gabbard, where Gabbard has the youth and Biden the venerable vote.
    3
  38. As a scientist, I also learned long ago that the press will make mistakes on the most obvious stuff. Therefore, don't trust them on the difficult stuff. Science itself is awesome; science reporting is abysmal.
    3
  39. I think it's the old, "It's not what you do, it's how you do it."   Bernie, Yang, and Tulsi listen. They explain. They don't smear. They seem real. To me, Biden seems like a good guy to work for. Warren i'm not sure. Kamala, head for the doors. This is purely a vibe thing and it matters a lot to voting. Tulsi, Bernie and Yang are the kind of people I'd go camping with -- and I go camping to get away from people. No worry about bears with Tulsi there. Bernie can charm the birds so I can ID them. Yang can set up the tent, without a good sleep it's rough out there.   I got the fire.
    3
  40. One thing I really like about him is when he's not an expert on something, he doesn't pretend. He's like that one guy in class who's a genius and also so normal he can explain things to the other kids.
    3
  41. Public health experts are great. Politicians are not. Please everyone don't blame scientists for bullshit politics and bullshit reporting!
    3
  42. @putsome basilonit To be fair to the Pentagon, it's not that the 23t just evaporated, it's that they spent it, but they can't say where. But the point is still quite right. M4A is affordable!
    3
  43. I'd bet, Tulsi Bernie and Andrew have the highest "dedication" score among the people who count in their poll %.
    3
  44. why should she endorse anyone? she could focus on issues maybe. I suppose, when there's an actual primary going on, she could endorse someone but it seems pretty early now
    3
  45. He said we need 9 justices because that case might come up. . So yeah he kinda almost said that.
    3
  46.  @nnenne4  Mayor Pete, I was that endorser. That endorser was me.
    3
  47. Tulsi, Andrew, and Bernie all want to do big things. Joe, hey, I like Joe but he's no Andrew Yang. Tulsi is an Andrew Yang.
    3
  48. uh... of course it's legal. they need to ask if Warren's 2% wealth tax is legal.
    3
  49. PS now I see the issue, it's campaign funds. ok maybe there's a case. Yang is a genius either way.
    3
  50. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Bob Menendez are mentioned in the leaked audio tapes... https://elperiodicocr.com/bolivia-filtran-audios-de-lideres-opositores-llamando-a-un-golpe-de-estado-contra-evo-morales/

  51. who said dat? He does talk so that people can understand him, maybe that's what they meant.

  52. The vaccine is to help with a huge emergency. The liability exception was part of the agreement. Also, it has to be 100% voluntary, that should be an equal part of the agreement. . Any coercion to take the vaccine should be avoided. Forced medical care is in fact an official crime against humanity.
    3
  53. Or do reparations. 200k per person. (?)
    2
  54. "Important" is a judgement call. The Trump rallies and the BLM protests are equally *legitimate. Equally *legal. Nobody will agree on importance.
    2
  55. I love Bernie, but he did look tired. Yang surprised me with his answer on money in politics. The $100 thing... that is actually brilliant, different, and structural -- so more reliable than most if not any other fix I can think of.
    2
  56. It's all proportional, so there will be a lot of delegates awarded. To win at the convention, Bernie + Tulsi + Yang has to be greater than Biden + Warren + Pete + Harris + Superdelegates.
    2
  57. Yup, the DNC should have had a primary.
    2
  58.  @publicguy1664  I'd rather have Pete or Joe than Liz as our candidate. I actually like Liz more than Pete but she could tarnish the progressive brand for years.   At least when Joe or Pete gets Trumped, the blame will go where it belongs, failed policies supported by systematic oppression of the truth.

  59. actually they were named in 300 BC, when the Greeks invented Greek.

  61. She's great. She got to Congress which is a pretty big deal!

  62. Corruption eventually results in incompetence. This is almost a natural law.
    2
  63. 1) CNN and the DNC conspired to cheat for Hillary during the debates 2) five? I like this test. I think we need a Green, Libert, and Anarchy party questions too lol
    2
  64. I'm very close to your position. I usually vote D (or L or I) but omg the gun stuff so hyped. I'd vote D less if the Supreme Court was anti-gun. I think Bernie's actually one of the better ones on the 2nd, he had a very reasonable policy in Vermont. He's adjusted his talk for the campaign but i guess you have to in the me-too party system.
    2
  65. are you working with patients now? If so where you work should be able to get you on the list for a shot? no expert here just thinking aloud. thanks for your service!
    2
  66.  @chrise7180  Agree, she totally has the right to ask those inane questions. . Her constituents... yes it would be nice if we had the ability to vote. . Technically, we can. Voting out people from the Machine, it is very hard my frend, very hard it is. They party Machine suppresses the vote and does all other tricks. . The Dem party in Hawaii is a thing in itself. It is not the national party. It's more like the Sopranos.
    2
  67.  @knowzbleed88  There are three kinds: vaccine immunity acquired immunity (after getting sick) natural immunity (born immune, no exposure necessary) E.g., fish are naturally immune to covid. In humans, acquired immunity is stronger than vaccine immunity. Etc.
    2
  68. and then that little bird rushed Bernie's stage and sat on the podium
    2
  69.  @morenitomoreno1282  I agree. Most on the left thinks the "open borders" thing is bullshit talking point. No president is going to erase the border. Folks on the right may think that, but they're not voting for democrats anyway.
    2
  70.  @antwarior  "we dont have time for lies, bernie cant even ay his own employees right now $15 a jhour" wow that's some high level pot and kettle stuff.   Bernie paid everyone on wage $15 or more. Some people on SALARY (not wage) getting 45k a year, they chose to work so many hours it got below $15. They renegotiated and got more $. pot and kettle don't cut it. bernie's stainless on that count.
    2
  71.  @chriskavandish4045  I like Bernie more than Warren, so I hope he wins. But what I don't like is setting up these pass/fail signs along the road.   What if one day Bernie fails a test? Then we go back to square one, looking for a new savior?   Or do we focus on the issues, like he always does, and maybe get it done? I actually like the way you frame the question, about AOC's path of centrism or progressivism... that makes sense, but not to dump her if she doesn't play by the script we want.
    2
  72.  @LD-tn6ff  I think it's a fair question, although it is risky to answer without offending someone.   I think the primaries should have a random order, changing each election. It's silly to have the same states each time determine who gets past the first rounds.
    2
  73.  @theRealJohnErtel  Yes what she needs now is debate wins!  Like... Bernie and Yang each mention her name.   Tulsi comes to the defense of someone who is attacked or smeared unfairly.   Tulsi challenges directly someone who attacks the truth about war. Everyone saying she should attack, but she's a defender! Her tactics are in line with her nature, and her message.
    2
  74.  @theRealJohnErtel  If the moderators had any stuff, they'd ask all the candidates, "Are there any justified, beneficial wars or interventions? How do you distinguish them from counterproductive, wasteful wars?"
    2
  75.  @jackburton6239  Yeah for sure this system gets little candidates a much bigger chance. However, it's really not fair to later states. They should shuffle the order randomly so all states get a chance to be early.
    2
  76.  @YourMajesty143  ok that makes sense :)
    2
  77. ​ @AQuietNight  Valid argument, but I'd argue that Democracy Dollars in effect swamps the swamp, however informed the voters are.   Even if each American gave theirs to a random candidate, rolling actual dice on an actual card table, it would make it a lot harder for the current monopoly to: 1) freeze out candidates who threaten their hegemony, and 2) outspend everyone to ensure their favorite candidate wins.   It might not work out great, depending on how the dice roll, but it would change the game.
    2
  78.  @neeps9596  I'm a Bernie person but I do actually agree with John Dice that part of Trump's appeal is that he promotes American Exceptionalism, he's a feel good mascot for the idea that we are special as a nation.   Bernie is a very positive individual, but I think all the Democrats should live by the boyfriend/ girlfriend rule about criticism: for every criticism, include at least five praises.   This is an amazing nation, we are creative, diverse, compassionate, hard working and immensely wealthy -- we can afford to cover everyone. We can afford to save 2 trillion a year for universal health care! That's a five to one ratio. For anyone in a relationship, try it, it helps a lot! Stay positive, my friends!
    2
  79. and Saagar too, you have to fact check anything he says.   "Pete's basically taking from Warren" -- when actually Biden went down 4.1pts, Warren 3.5, and Pete went up 8. Saagar, you can't get 8 from 3.5. But you can get your chosen narrative from anything, apparently. Saagar's got good points at times but it's Krystal that saves the show.
    2
  80.  @kielweiss3606  Yes, but saying he "mostly took votes from Warren" is actually mathematically eliminated as a possibility. Given that he gained 8 and she lost 3.5, a majority of his new votes (4.5) came from somewhere else.
    2
  81.  @kielweiss3606  Ok now we're getting close to correct! Saagar could say, in that case, "Pete got the most votes from Warren." But not, as he said, "Pete got most of his votes from Warren." The voter movement is super interesting. I'm mostly disappointed in Saagar because by assuming they came from Warren, he skips over the most interesting question.
    2
  82. it's dumb but it may resonate i'm a big bernie fan, but this may push me to Yang actually
    2
  83. Crime has gone down 50% in the past couple decades, while the number of guns in private hands has doubled.   Any candidate who doesn't include that in their analysis, I find it hard to take them seriously on the issue.   Beto like you say isn't even on page 1 yet. Reality, legality, then practicality....
    2
  84.  @archraskal  YEah I've mostly stopped watching the Hill. She really does have some good reports, but I agree this kind of carelessness devalues the program to the point where it may be more informative to watch a rubic's cube solve itself.
    2
  85.  @SuperRondon1  Bernie has the best chance among the Dems. Trump has the advantage. Could go either way.   If the economy tanks, that's a big minus for Trump. If it's good and he hasn't invaded any countries, he will be hard to beat.

  93. Nobody, except NPR, even mentions the issue of Morales running for a fourth term, which is not allowed by the constitution of Bolivia. "In February 2016, a referendum was held on the question of whether Morales should be allowed to run for a fourth term; he narrowly lost.[256] His approval rating had been damaged by the allegations concerning his relationship with Gabriela Zapata Montaño.[257] In December 2016 the MAS nominated Morales as their candidate for the 2019 presidential election regardless, stating that they would seek various avenues to ensure the legality of such a candidacy.[258] In November 2017, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Bolivia ruled that—in contrast to the constitution—all public offices would have no term limits, blaming American imperialism and influence for the referendum's outcome, thus allowing Morales to run for a fourth term in 2019.[259]" (wikipedia Evo Morales)

  101. Yeah, if this show were the norm, we wouldn't have Trump.   They can have views like that on a good show if there's variety in the room to respond. Certainly this segment had a very Yang positive impact!

  103. There is a genuine constitutional crisis there, which NOBODY not even NPR is explaining. The level of analysis is trivial, here and on NPR. At least NPR mentioned the fact Morales was running for a fourth term, which opponents say is not allowed by the constitution. But they didn't truth check. Wikipedia again is better than the news: " February 2016, a referendum was held on the question of whether Morales should be allowed to run for a fourth term; he narrowly lost.[256] His approval rating had been damaged by the allegations concerning his relationship with Gabriela Zapata Montaño.[257] In December 2016 the MAS nominated Morales as their candidate for the 2019 presidential election regardless, stating that they would seek various avenues to ensure the legality of such a candidacy.[258] In November 2017, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Bolivia ruled that—in contrast to the constitution—all public offices would have no term limits, blaming American imperialism and influence for the referendum's outcome, thus allowing Morales to run for a fourth term in 2019.[259]"

  106. I didn't hear Yang sneering at government (only caught the second half of debate). Yang is conservative in places, an independence that is such a relief from the brain-dead party zombies of both sides. I agree about addressing the American Dream/ capitalism. It's not just automation or globalization that's swamping it. What is it, anyway? What should it be?
    2
  107.  @L0rdofArk  Ok, I missed the first half, i'll check it. I did see Yang on charter schools, perfect answer. Booker was also great on that. Yang's answer on money in politics was the #1 most innovative and practical thing I've ever heard on the subject, and I'm an og.
    2
  108.  @Darke_Exelbirth  "VAT does is take the money out of one of your pockets and puts it into another, funneled through the corporation's profit margins first." I think it's the opposite -- the point of a VAT is to tax BEFORE the profits/ losses are tallied. It's a cost of production, or "value added," not net value gained. A VAT will increase costs to consumers, but that's specifically in industries that are not being taxed today. Thus, it can be seen as closing a tax loophole, making the market more competitive and efficient, and reducing prices in the long run.

  109. Rent control should probably be done locally, since the situation varies so much city to city... and even for houses in the country or hinterlands. Maybe there's a way to encourage that with national legislation and still do it locally.

  110.  @Rofanchu  I'm continually amazed that y'all get it wrong. She didn't lie about her kids attending public school -- they did.   She lied that they didn't go to private school -- because at least one of them did that also. Oh well I guess it's the age of bullshit, maybe I should just go along with it when it supports my side.

  120. Yes, it was easy to see the media was lying to help us. Not good! That said, it is logical that a mask could in theory prevent outgoing, but not ingoing, viruses. Outgoing particles will be all sizes from large to small. Incoming particles will mostly be small, because large particles fall out of the air onto a surface rather quickly. So there is some physics to it, but the MSM was still lying and that hurt the nation.

  121.  @DianaMartin1910  In addition to support by US congressmen, I think help from Brazil is also mentioned by the plotters, but someone with more Spanish should speak to this. I can kinda read the descriptions... this one mentions Brazil: "Una conversación entre miembros de la oposición boliviana que muestra la participación de Manfred Reyes Villa, otro miembro de la oposición residente en Estados Unidos, que tiene planes de golpe de estado. Se menciona el respaldo que la oposición está obteniendo de la Iglesia Evangélica y el gobierno brasileño. Destaca la referencia sobre un supuesto hombre de confianza para el presidente brasileño Jair Bolsonaro, quien también asesora a un candidato presidencial boliviano que aún no se ha identificado." audio 5 from https://elperiodicocr.com/bolivia-filtran-audios-de-lideres-opositores-llamando-a-un-golpe-de-estado-contra-evo-morales/

  124. Congress could ban chokeholds with a law. The President could ban them only for the FBI and other federal agencies, with an EO since he is their boss. He has no jurisdiction over state or city cops. But the feds give them tons of $. What he did was say "No grants for your city cops unless they have certain rules."

  217.  Kevin Warburton  I agree most with the second half, about th epower vacuum. But Russian Flags were flying in Syria since the 1970s; their only foreign naval base is in Syria. The press neglected to mention that when Obama said Assad must go. Since Obama the US had a 'policy' of meddling but not invading, until the events yo mention with the vaccum, and our invasion in the north.

I'm fine with two state, one state, no state, ten state... six minute abs if they like, as long as people there decide and agree. But "one state" is seen by some as as equivalent to "no more Israel."

  242. "The long-standing academic debate on minimum wages has progressed toward a reasonable consensus in recent years. The most important and comprehensive minimum wage paper in several decades, by Cengiz, Dube, Lindner and Zipperer, examines the effects on jobs of 138 prominent federal and state minimum wage events between 1984 and 2016. This study has been published online by the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE). The authors do not detect significant negative effects on the number of low-wage jobs.3 Cengiz et al. conduct numerous stress tests on their findings, including possible lags and leads, effects by subsample period, heterogeneity for higher minimum wages, placebo tests, robustness to including possible confounding variables, effects on individual demographic groups, and tests of substitution of educated workers for less-educated workers. Cengiz et al. resolve a major issue in the literature: the appropriate controls to include in difference-in-difference specifications (Neumark, Salas and Wascher 2014; Allegretto et al. 2017). Cengiz et al. document that parsimonious and saturated specifications both provide similar results for the period since 2002. As a result, and although disagreements continue, the minimum wage literature has reached a working consensus, exemplified by the Cengiz et al. findings, and acknowledged by economists when they explicitly dissent from the consensus view.4 https://irle.berkeley.edu/files/2019/07/Minimum-Wage-Effects-in-Low-Wage-Areas.pdf

But I think she wins if she put up ANY early numbers in the delegate column. Then, she'll need something on Super Tuesday. She'll get American Samoa, I expect, and if she also gets delegates in a couple of open primary states, that opens a launch window. She has the highest crossover numbers right now, and if that becomes part of the narrative (with the press kicking and screaming), it could be a thing.

  276.  @mikehascats26  I'd guess that's about right for Trump, but I'd personally put Biden first in the Democratic primary.   He's not my choice but he's way out front so far. He just about doubles Warren or Bernie's percentage.   Only these three have more than a tiny chance imho.  I think for Warren or Bernie to win, one of them will have to drop out. Bernie won't do that. Warren might stay in as a deal with Biden, in exchange for VP.   Tulsi could also be a VP pick for Biden or Bernie.   I think Kamala is toast, and never had a viable strategy -- she is established 'middle ground' like Biden but is trying to seem progressive and fresh. That segment is well taken by Bernie, Yang, Gabbard, etc. Kamala should have contested the moderate ground that Biden now rules all by himself.
    1
  277.  @mikehascats26  right, for the primary. i think it's crazy though, warren 30% vs biden 25%. I'd seriously consider betting on Biden at +300 (=25%). He's way undervalued there.

  294.  @HansLennros-ry5iz  Voted Bernie last time in the primary; this time I like Bernie, Tulsi and Yang. It's a tough choice and I'd be very happy with any of them.   All of them are relentlessly positive. You don't hear much class hatred or scare tactics. That's why I didn't like Bernie's billionaire comment; why make enemies of people who could be allies.

  306. "The long-standing academic debate on minimum wages has progressed toward a reasonable consensus in recent years. The most important and comprehensive minimum wage paper in several decades, by Cengiz, Dube, Lindner and Zipperer, examines the effects on jobs of 138 prominent federal and state minimum wage events between 1984 and 2016. This study has been published online by the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE). The authors do not detect significant negative effects on the number of low-wage jobs.3 Cengiz et al. conduct numerous stress tests on their findings, including possible lags and leads, effects by subsample period, heterogeneity for higher minimum wages, placebo tests, robustness to including possible confounding variables, effects on individual demographic groups, and tests of substitution of educated workers for less-educated workers. Cengiz et al. resolve a major issue in the literature: the appropriate controls to include in difference-in-difference specifications (Neumark, Salas and Wascher 2014; Allegretto et al. 2017). Cengiz et al. document that parsimonious and saturated specifications both provide similar results for the period since 2002. As a result, and although disagreements continue, the minimum wage literature has reached a working consensus, exemplified by the Cengiz et al. findings, and acknowledged by economists when they explicitly dissent from the consensus view.4 https://irle.berkeley.edu/files/2019/07/Minimum-Wage-Effects-in-Low-Wage-Areas.pdf

The Pentagon saying "There are groups way more powerful than all of our war machines" is not the best fund raising gimmick. Wouldn't We the People say something like, "Then let us talk to them!"

  311.  @lookingforsomething  I actually think the clearest path to getting people like Yang and Tulsi is to elect Bernie. My point came more from interpersonal relations. If I like someone, but I am sure they are going to fail their exam, I try pretty hard to avoid saying "when you fail" but instead "If you don't pass...." For a news announcer, it's about accuracy. It is inaccurate to imply 100% certainty about the future. They need to use more precise language. They try to be "ahead of the curve" but that's not their job. Actually I guess it is their job! This is commentary, not news, so it's not wrong... just rude. In any case, we agree: why let the manners of a talking head sway our vote one way or another?   I have to admit the rudeness of Hillary campaign was a factor in me voting for Johnson -- that, and Johnson's exemplary police work on the crack case exposed by Dave Chapelle. "Sprinkle some crack on him" pretty much sums up the state of the media and our government today.

In fact, tech has created not only new jobs, but entire new industries. So it's a mixed bag -- the best and the worst. A UBI is a simple solution to keep the best and bump the worst up to 'not bad.' As it is, we have a thousand different solutions, none complete.   It might even be cheaper in the long run to do it the simple way and just give people a % of the nation's production value as a UBI -- like companies do with their stockholders.

We got our own flood baby.   Warren is clearly the biggest threat: Warren + Biden + superdelegates > 50%. But the elite actually do not like her, so that's a big problem for the DNC.

  456. agree with a lot... but Iran is invading (or, supporting their side) in other countries all the time, through their proxy networks. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen for example. Saudi Arabia probably does more of that, and Russia even more, and the US the most. But Iran is and wants to be a regional power. They do this mostly through unconventional forces, where they are very good.

  465.  @AntTheBugcather  Oh boy, eso si es mal. Opposition planning for a coup, talking about armed revolt if Evo gets elected, even attacking the Cuban embassy.   And... Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio involved!? Thank you, I wish our news had information, and our government had honor.

  466. Excellent point. They could still ask about being in groups of over 20 people, say. They should never ask about "did you protest." That's off limits, and it doesn't matter to the virus. I could protest in a group of one!

  470. I'm skeptical of BDS... i think it can be part of a policy, but not the whole policy. For example, are we going to BDS Saudi Arabia at the same time? And Russia? These two are also heavily involved in arming the region and bombing the crap out of people. Millions of refugees. Millions starving. Makes it Very hard to do peace in Palestine with the region in tatters. I think we need a regional -- nay, global -- approach to peace here. The whole world uses oil from the ME but the whole world (esp. US and Russia) should stop fucking with it so much.

  476.  @YourMajesty143  NPR said that he was running for a fourth term, which opponents said was unconstitutional. But NPR did not say what's in the constitution.   Is it really ok for him to run for a fourth?
    1
  477.  @YourMajesty143  Yes, great point, the SCOB (2017) ruled that no term limits applied to any elected officials in Bolivia.   On the other hand, in the referendum (2016) the country voted to keep term limits on the president. And the constitution was never amended, and it still says no fourth term. This appears to be a true constitutional crisis, where it is a bit hard to say what is actually legal and what is not. On the other hand, coup plotting heard in the audio leaks was clearly illegal and had violent intentions. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio got some splainen to do... https://elperiodicocr.com/bolivia-filtran-audios-de-lideres-opositores-llamando-a-un-golpe-de-estado-contra-evo-morales/

  487.  madcheeseknight  Is it censorship? The Rising should show the clip in question and ask, "Is this fair use?" They are so much hot air ever since Bernie dropped out.

  488. The guy is a real whistler, but it is indeed hypocritical to be for/ against Manning and Snowden and Assange depending on if they reveal crimes by Dems or GOPs. Both parties are hypocritical on this.

  491. Yes you can often, but it depends on the contract. The ruling has an effect for large companies: if there's a pattern of discrimination they could get massive lawsuits. Probably no effect on a small business, but that's ok.

  501. There's some truth to that pattern. But I live in a small town/ rural area that is very democratic in voting, but also conservative in a traditional sense.   We have our own kind of bubble, and we might like to keep it that way.

  506. Joe's right that M4A wouldn't stop or prevent an outbreak. M4A wouldn't guarantee any kind of testing whatsoever. I'm for it, but he's right. It would do almost nothing against pandemics.

  510. What's irritating her supporters is that she seems inflexible, like she doesn't listen. Of course, what bugs Berners is her being TOO flexible, but these things are not mutually exclusive. She's stubborn about the wrong things. Too bad, I liked her as a professor and consumer protector.

  511.  @garrettwilson9664  Bernie is MOSTLY still Bernie. But he signed on to the DNC party line, which is, "Obey the DNC." If not, why didn't he join Kennedy for a healthy food system?? Instead he blasted Bobbie during confirmation. Bernie defended Red Dye #4 and all it represents. (figuratively speaking)

  512. Yes. However, that's a matter of degree. I'm ok with it as long as BLM or the Trump campaign doesn't claim some sort of virus-based moral superiority.

  516. Last I saw Liz was beating the Donald, but idk lately. I agree Yang (and Tulsi) would have the best shot in the general, but realistically they are PROBABLY 2024 winners. Most of the Dem candidates would have a chance because... it's pretty much Trump's election to win or lose. If he starts a war, he loses. If he actually does something good, like sign a treaty with North fucking Korea, he wins. The one thing that changes that is if the Dems actually get huge turnout. Bernie would be the best for that imho.   Or I mean if Yang actually won the primary, he'd probably sweep the general, but that's a Black Swan scenario this year because he's so new and frankly, so visionary.

  517. It's common for the party with the president to lose seats in mid-terms. I think it's our innate instinct to not let either one get too strong.

  518. It was. They wrote the law, the court took it literally.

  519. The entire existence of the DNC is devoted to preventing it. Same with the RNC I presume. Except they have to go along with Trump because he is too strong.
