I am wasting way too much brain power trying to figure out what that "I believe in free speech, but will gender someone correctly if they ask" take even means.
Being a Warren supporter is such a roller coaster. Every time she reminds me why I like her, like that debate performance against Bloomberg, she follows it up with some terrible politics.

No, there is a service push there - which goes beyond military. It's also apparantely not a new position either. A number of people have pushed that, but in Congress, it's just never been funded. One of those things that people like in practice, but don't actually care about in reality.
Maybe I just freak from seeing what's happened to Cuba/ and Venezuela.
I've always thought the ending would be Biden - Bernie in some form before 2019. Bloomberg, Warren, Pete almost made me think it was gonna be off the rails but it's all finally ending in a unity ticket between the two biggest names.....
Which are completely different situations of which America had a large hand in shaping. And literally no one is arguing for full socialism.
the dems will give his hard earned money to the lazy poors and the college students. and we can't have that.
Wait what? Maybe I glossed over it. Page number and edition please.
A brokered convention leading her to victory if not a VP slot.
I just wanted to touch on what you said last thread about servers not having their tips taxed. That was more true in the past than now. Virtually everyone pays by card now and every single cent of those tips is reported by the employer. That's not to say there isn't still cash tips but it's increasingly rare. I can go weeks without getting a single one
Pete Buttigieg wants a national service program. Could it heal a divided country?
Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg says a national service program for young adults could help "social cohesion." Not all agree.

There's no way anyone would be cool with this after Vietnam even though this isn't necessarily military service. There's a reason we haven't had a draft since then.
Both of those countries are totalitarian in nature. We could go through many countries that are more capitalist in nature that have struggled with totalitarianism as well. Hell it's not like Russia is communist anymore, neither is China really.
Imagine working with the Obama administration
to being begged by Sanders to run
to being the plans candidate
to backing up Sanders in the early debates
to attacking Sanders for a thing that your own people claim wasn't said
to being left out in the cold by everyone for your own actions
to taking super pac money after fighting against super pacs three weeks ago
to staying in the race just to hurt the one person who has spent this entire primary cycle avoiding you and looking into giving you unprecedented power in their administration.
Imagine being that person.

But yeah, back to this real quick: what the hell is the thinking? No one is going to pick her in that scenario.
"Hey, let's give it to the person that's neither winning nor pushing our establishment agenda!" -No one
Love to lose my home state and still think I can be president or that I'm electable

What does Vietnam have to do with a National Civil Service program? He's not forcing people to fight in wars.
It's genuinely disgusting. I defended Warren a good deal in the last thread, and I take it all back.
#watchabetteranimeLet's make it a Super Saiyan Tuesday for our boy Bernard.
If this is the case, why would you put your faith in candidates that receive more money from lobbied interests (relative to how much you personally believe it changes policy positions)? Is it just from a feeling that they're all moral people who believe in these positions from their understanding of the world?
At the end of the day, you reduce this conversation into a nothing burger when one candidate should objectively give you the most confidence to fight for the positions you believe every candidate has even if that factor is small.
Personally, why would I put my faith in someone like Biden who has bragged about cutting social security? Who did more than vote for the crime bill (wrote it meaning he believed in everything the bill offered), who has multiple sexual harassment allegations, who has a worse foreign policy record, and who generally has been forced to move to the left because the base of the party moves him left?
None of this matters though because legislation will be the same, which means that for some reason we should still prefer someone other than Bernie based on things that you said don't matter.
Yeah, but Biden could die. I legit think this is rattling in her head.
Liz is a joke, she won't win her home state nor her birth state and she will hang on for "reasons"
LOL

Look I live in California which is the worst state in the country for poor people probably. Worst homeless rate in the country. I also believe California has the worst debt. California has been a dem state for what 30 years? Then I think what's the best state to live in financially. Texas comes straight to mind. Texas probably being the most republican.
Maybe someone could educate me as to why the most dem state is the worst off for the poorest people. That's a serious question btw.
I look at the poor situation here and think maybe the more government try's to help people the more it enables them. Maybe I'm totally wrong there idk.
I don't hate my union either. If I did wouldn't I have left? I did a non union apprenticeship. And then later joined the union. If I hated my union I wouldn't be in it.
Don't say that. Bernie Sanders could be our first Saiyan President!
It's punditry dressed up as maths and Nate isn't that good at punditry.
