    It should be. All those things poll really well. Corporate democrats are fighting it though because they’d rather lose than represent the voters.

    Or.... Maybe some of them have at least a slice of integrity and won’t run on Faery tails.

    Either way, lack of abundance.

    great platform. Of course it's not realistic but we need democrats like her who will pull the Overton Window back to normalcy.

    I actually support one of her ideas:

    Universal Jobs Guarantee: We already fork over billions of dollars every year for welfare benefits. Why can't the government open up beach cleanup, forest cleanup, and trail maintenance teams. You do away with welfare outside of SSI recipients who physically or mentally can't work. We already pay these people, so why not make them work for it. At least the government gets something for the money they pay out.

    We need to streamline the delivery of benefits for the safety net which unfortunately would eliminate a bunch more jobs because most of the net is government jobs for life telling poor folks how many crumbs they get

    And this is why we can’t be friends. What is this nonsense? You’re talking about Obama and Hillary, you fucking idiot. Yes, nothing screams integrity like elected politicians making every deccision based on who donated how much to them.

    If you look at that list of platforms and hate it, that’s fine. But you want to pretend it shows a lack of integrity, if you want to play victim like @Southerndawg , then we can never be on the same team. Millennials and Gen Z are coming and everything on that platform is going to happen whether you like it or not. And when really big shit comes up, things like freedom of speech, people like me aren’t going to fight them. Because I’d rather let them fuck up the constitution then ever be on the same side as someone like you.

    I think you have a better chance of getting old school new deal free shit from Trump than you would have from Hillary but the dems are too stupid to realize they control the White House

































    What?

    "Universal Job Guarantee" is a rebranding of "Work for Welfare" which the Dems vehemently oppose...

    It's already a policy in many states and is considered "Punishing the poor".
