They shouldn’t, but Yang is for public health care IN ADDITION to UBI, which is the right call in my opinion. That UBI implys we abandon all other programs and ear up the roads and just sit around being sick and poor is wrong.

Umm, Trump is not a creature of the heartland...

I mean, Roberts is kind of a serious person who wants to look like a serious and respectable person. I wouldn’t be surprised if having to cover for Trumps nonsense annoys him. God knows it would annoy me. Even if what Trump is doing to the Judiciary will probably arguably make Roberts the most powerful person in

Or coffee, coffee is fine. Decaf is fine, tea is good. I like sweetdrops stevia, which I think is ok.  I haven’t completely gotten off Diet Coke, but I drink a lot less than I did.

I don’t think so. Playing video games at work seems more like a fire able offense than being honest about once having been a sex worker should be. Especially if you are working for the government, which is supposed to defend your free speech rights, but not your right to fuck off on the clock. If someone is doing well

He’s the closest thing to a libertarian in the race. Low bar these days. He mostly opposes corruption and murdering people. That the government doesn’t have the right to kill it’s citizens without due process is a libertarian view. And honestly I lean libertarian but I don’t hate roads and health care, I hate the

I don't know, I wouldn't describe housing in CA as a functional free market. Maybe a free market in politicians lol.

Is proof there?  That always smelled fishy to me, but I never looked into it...

My point is more that judging movements by their worst supporters makes everyone look awful. If the leaders stand behind their worst supporters that’s one thing, but that Democrats seem to spend most of their time and energy attacking their allies and trying to work with their enemies is one of my least favorite

That sounds about right to me. I try to spread the gospel of range voting, which IMO would be a far superior system for choosing candidates with broad support, but with the current system having faith is I guess preferable to my nail biting. I actually tend to agree with Warren, I’m like 80% libertarian and 20%

Counterpoint

Are brain aneurysms that much better than heart attacks?

I mean that Biden is a weaker candidate IMO than Hillary was, and Trump has already demonstrated the ability to win that matchup.  I may be wrong, his polling is strong, but I don't think that it is fundamentally irrational.

Helping Joe Biden is helping Donald Trump is how we look at it. Like helping Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primaries was helping Trump. I mean, it’s possible Biden can beat Trump, but IIRC he has pledged to donors that if he is elected nothing much changes, so it’s hard to say he’s better than Trump, although think he

I think Kerry, Hillary, and Mitt Romney basically all lost because their advisors told them that an empty suit could beat _____, so they ran as empty suits.  But advisors like empty suits a lot more than American voters do, for better or worse.

Eh, I support universal healthcare. I just don't see Obamacare as a step on that path.  The ACA legacy isn't America getting decent health care, it's President Donald Trump.  And the reason it's still the law of the land is because the Republicans can't figure out how to give insurance companies a better blowjob. 

Well, unless the Israelites decide to let the Saudis take over your phone, apparently...

Everything is legal in New Jersey!  Er Ukraine...

Do you have evidence that he was lying? He definitely blamed his employees then walked it back, but I’m not convinced he wasn’t just confused. Like I’m not sure if you are lying or confused or telling the truth, and I know I’m confused.

Other than the fact that he is a big Democrat, and always has been. Looks bipartisan from where I am sitting. That and Hillary saying she prefers Trump to Sanders.  Seems about right to me.
