  1. +Insert Name Let's dispel this fiction. This notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing is simply not true! He knows exactly what he's doing. He's laughing.

  2. There is also Kucinic :) Tulsi is awesome but don't think she will toe anyone's line, even progressives.

  3. "Speed up the obvious" is one of the best campaign slogans ever

  4. Jill and Bernie also went there (Jill when she was a candidate), but I second your emotion!

  5. +MRostendway You could just about see the wheels turning in his head... "Say the opposite of what you think... opposite... it's opposite day..."

  6. Both right, the Democratic Party joined with the GOP in some major failings; war, global bankruptcy, real stuff.  However the SJW overreach distracts us from these real issues, and makes the left look trivial and mean.  The issue failures and the silly distractions are related.

  7. I don't like Ellison because he still favors jailing people for pot

  8. Gary is about the furthest from fascism possible. I don't like his support of TPP however, and he needs to explain why the criticisms of it from environmental, labor, and IP groups are wrong or can be fixed.

  9. From what I saw in NM, Gary doesn't do his donor's bidding. Actions speak.

  10. She is in favor of not only civil unions, but gay marriage. Her family is famously anti-gay-marriage but she makes up her own mind based on what is good for the country rather than personal feelings.

  11. No chance.  However, there are plenty of laws that deserve to be overturned as unconstitutional, such as civil forfeiture, the patriot act, and for that matter the laws against cannabis.

  12.  @Rhythmicons  Oh shiz he DID say that! Decriminalize is not legalize. Thank you for that correction. I'm glad to retract my criticism of Booker, because he's been going to bat on this issue a long time.

  13. I'm a solid Johnson supporter. He was my governor and I thought nothing could sway my vote... but Jill is getting close! I am especially impressed here with the broad insight that ties together so many various issues.

  14. >with an interest in geopolitical interventionist foreign policy Yes, with an interest in STOPPING it.

  15. I read all your links, bery interesting but none of them show an 'expansionist' or 'militarist' or 'interventionist' strategy. E.g., from the second link you cited: "If Gabbard should be placed under any category, it should be that of politicians like the ones who opposed entanglements with foreign powers such as Taft. While her domestic positioning leans progressive, it’s her passionate defense of restraint abroad that... should cheer." One thing that could be called hard-line is her insisting that the proper name for that-which-cannot-be-named is 'Islamist Extremism.' Another is her support for bombing ISIS. But notice that she wants the US to stay out of Syria and in general be less interventionist.

  16. LUCHA just endorsed BERNIE!! http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/azdc/2016/02/23/bernie-sanders-gets-nod-latino-worker-rights-group/80819386/

  17. "Johnson in a CNBC interview also suggested that a carbon tax might be a "very libertarian proposal" to address the open access commons problem of climate change." http://reason.com/blog/2016/08/23/gary-johnson-on-climate-change-and-a-car Sometimes people get confused by Gary because he is open minded and willing to discuss various solutions. While I don't agree on all of his ideas, as my governor he had a great way of working with all sorts of people.

  18. David Duke endorses people he wants to fail. Simple.

  19. >Tulsi "homosexual extremists" Gabbard Way to fail in the first four words! She supports same-sex marriage. I've heard her talk about it at length on radio interviews (Rick Hamada show, Oahu, look it up).

  20. If the contempt charge was a federal charge, he can pardon it.  Where do you get this "not violating the constitution" thing?

  21. Biden DID answer. Emma cut it out. Biden said he is for legalization. Let that sink in a bit.

  22. maybe the weird part is in the question, not the Yang policy: it's not an epidemic (it's half of what it was in the 1990s)
    2
  23. The SCOTUS would uphold the pardon 9-0.
    2
  24. Not true.  The presidential pardon is laid out very simply in the constitution.  There are only two limitations: 1) he/she can only pardon for federal offenses (not state or local), and 2) he/she can't pardon cases of impeachment.

  25. the concept of nations as if they were individuals, and superior to corporations which are also individuals, leads to the conclusion that some individuals are more equal than others. and people are caught in the middle.

  26. i thought you meant in the comments, but then i realized you were being literal, so that too

  27. Maybe it's best if it doesn't completely collapse, but in any case, you hit the nail on the head.  Better voting systems (which is state level) and better media (which is going to be youtube posts, apparently).
    2
  28. yup we have to judge by product anyway.  if TYT 1) brings up good points, and 2) they are points that the MSM avoids, they are valuable. It is true that TYT got 20m recently from a Katzenberg org, but again, as critical viewers we're always watching critically no matter the source.

  29. That's some SNL quality stuff by Joe.

  30. While I agree it is important, I think we should really package two things together: Income equality and just plain ole basic prosperity. Some of the effects you list are from inequality, and some are from poverty itself. If we look at nations by GINI score, overall it's better to live in more equal societies. However, Algeria and Egypt are more equal than the US or Chile, so yeah. It is not everything. If we can reduce inequality by making the system more fair, that will ALSO make more prosperity. IMHO we don't want to reduce it by trying to destroy the upper classes, that don't work, and even if it does, it doesn't help. Fairness -- like fixing the tax system, and eliminating huge monopolies -- will work and will help immensely. Fairness has to include the political process, as Karen Grice comments. Eliminate gerrymandering, get rid of barriers to third parties, and mandate full and rapid transparency for large donations...

  31. "Socialist countries"?? You are talking about mixed systems.

  32. it'd be helpful if people put a time stamp on something that illustrates their point

  33. hey hey DNC, how many times you lied to me

  34. Yup, this is the cheesiest TYT I've seen. Pure Velveeta, no substance.

  35. The questions were good, but he set her up too much. He was giving answers as he asked the questions. Still it was a great interview because Jill had time to knock them out of the park.

  36. < malware and backdoors have been removed from the hardware> Problem is the NSA has been installing hardware backdoors for decades. The basic infrastructure is insecure as we don't have wall to wall encryption. It is designed to for hacking and spying. The system could be made secure, but that would make it harder to spy on us. Apparently the governments around the world would rather the information age fail than to lose their little windows on our little lives.

  37. Bush charged us 6 trillion for Cheney to play in the sandbox. Republicans, learn your lesson! Believe me as a long time Democrat I have been watching closely, and I will not vote for another warmonger like Shrub or Hillary. We're in this together, but the two big parties are traitors.

  38. Many gun crimes are not prosecuted -- e.g., illegal possession, violation of parole by having a weapon, etc. Often a guy commits a half dozen crimes and pleads to get the gun violations dismissed. More than that, violent crimes get less resources than they should because of our ridiculous, dark-ages drug laws. We need to re-engineer the priorities of our justice system to protect people from violence instead of taking away their flowers.

  39. Yeah, they are just contrails. There are many horrible things our government is doing but weather control and depopulation... let's just say we do those very indirectly, by subsidizing fossil fuels.

  40. Nearly everyone I've talked to here (I live in NM too) likes Gary! That is a very unusual situation for an elected official after 8 years in office. He's got my vote for sure. It's not just his positions, it's how he works with people and not against, and how he always seemed to be looking out for everyone not just his party.

  41. I think you hit it on the head with 'uplifting.' Bernie is super awesome but he needed to 1) broaden his range, and 2) be more positive at times, as well as the necessary and scary points. Let's not forget who sparked the Bern that Jill and Gary are running with :)

  42. If the aim is to take an objective look at a candidate, why put a silly title like this? Kinda makes TYT seem like hype hacks.

  43. Do you really want to give David Duke the power to choose our future leaders? If not, then ignore him. We need to focus on people for who they are not what some dipshit in podunk county says.

  44. I never said she was a progressive, in fact I've been warning people she is independent-minded and won't follow anyone's agenda. I was in Hawaii when she was elected, so I go on what I saw and heard. Make decisions on who she is, and her positions; I won't pay 1 bit of attention to what Divot Dick does.

  45. which is another term for printing money, which costs us all in inflation. i'm still in favor of it.

  46. wise birds sing out her speeches, she mainly just translates

  47. Johnson/Weld, and boy I like Jill Stein too. Tough choice, but Gary was my gov and he rocked. There are two others running but I forget their names, Heathery Clintock and Danny Troop? Something like that. I hope they get in the debates even though they are both batshit crazy, lol.

  48. Obama can't even change the rules on overtime pay for federal workers without an act of Congress (recent circuit court case). However the US president does have a lot of say in foreign policy, so... sorry for that.

  49. And if international banks create 664 trillion in fraudulent commercial paper, resulting in the theft of 5 million homes and causing the worst recession since the last time they did that shit... we shouldn't have such big banks.

  50. Bernie, Jill, Gary, Tulsi, Rand, these are good people. I don't agree with any of them on everything of course. If a person speaks what they truly believe, you can usually work with them, even though they are often wrong.
