I didn't think Trump was a good choice when he ran the both times. He only served 1 term though the warning is as Robert said there is s good chance he wins in 2024. And as much as I hate to say this he may be right this country does have a tradition of re-electing someone after they served once. No one said the terms had to be back to back. A friend of mine brought up a disturbing thought of someone worse than Trump and I'm like let's just not even go there ok! Though on a lighter note I'd like to see Bernie up there I think he would be an interesting choice!

Freedom then of movement around the country, Freedom of retirement when you need to and not have to after so many years 20+ just to get a retirement benefit of health care, Freedom from this extra tax burden of paying for our Insurance PLAN which is in the form company withdrawals of your share of that insurance usually $500.00 a month for us right out of our paychecks, then we have to pay co-pays, deductibles, share of cost and max out of pocket. We are a family of 4. We work two jobs, have one son in college and one son in high school. Average Americans right? Except we have a Type 1 and a Type 2 diabetic in the family. And we hit our deductible for our Type 1 son $1,500.00 (really an added tax on us) every year and then have that one person that hit the max pay $0.00 after that (usually around August) but the rest of us are still paying all the co pays I mentioned before. Not to mention prescription costs. MEDICARE FOR ALL = FREEDOM! Why can't we see that? I don't understand.

Biden bows to the will of his donors. He voted for BAPCPA out of interest to his corporate donors and a major reason why there's a student loan debt crisis. Early on in his campaign, he promised a room full of billionaires that for them "nothing would fundamentally change." There's a DNC Superdelegate who works as a lobbyist for pharmaceutical companies, donates heavily to Republicans (including Mitch McConnell) and is virulently opposed to Bernie Sanders. Are you sure it's Bernie who's corrupt?

Debate Me! But your vote is the most important thing. And - just a note - there are plenty of anti-Trump voters who are not in any position to take more action, either due to health, finances or geographic location. We all need to take opportunities to talk to our friends and acquaintances about the facts surrounding the election (and the current Administration). However, berating and insulting people who agree with your positions is counterproductive. Encouragement, maybe even help, might get more people to rallies and protests (do you need a ride? Do you have a babysitter? Can I pay your bus fare?). Then following through during the election in November is critical.

Can't give an american opinion, but a german one. Trust me on this one: You want a president that can deliver what Bernie promises. Idk if you think Bernie can pull that off, but you should go for someone that does. Healthcare, education and worker-protection are what gets you into the position of deciding for yourself what to do. "Work or die" is not a decision. You will always be enslaved, because everyone will leave you to die if you dont accept crazy contracts. I am NOT proposing "Work or just live like a king without work"! But taking away all the negotiation-power from a worker will result in the loss of any economical strength a society has. Why should you trust my german opinion? We started a lot later to copy american policies, so we still have quite a few social laws. We are not as fucked as you are. With every step our politicians take into the direction of american example (privatize critical infrastructure, undermine pension and healthcare funds/laws) our country breaks apart a little bit more. You have to get out of the stress of surviving to start living, massive studies out there that show how mentally impaired endangered people get. You have to get rid of that, or people will never see what Trump did/is/was.

Careful, you might hope that the majority of non-voters are on your side, but you might just be fooling yourself. In 2016, more rightwing non-voters were mobilized. Clinton had about as much votes as Obama did, however, Trump got about 2 million more votes than Romney. Take a look at Australia, there they have compulsory voting, and one where you can vote for more than one party declaring one your first choice and another your second choice, that means you can risk voting for a third party and still not waste that vote. But the last election there has proven once again that even the seemingly progressive Australians are infact majority rightwing shitheads who give a shit about the enviroment. At the end of the day, most humans are greedy, selfish and only worried about their own economic success, that means they are afraid of those whom they think are threatening their standard of living and convenience.

New thinking is what Donald Trump brought to the presidency: 1. Rejected the clamor surrounding "climate change". US trend in CO2 pollution is down in spite of not belonging to the Paris Climate Accord. 2. Rejected the "common wisdom" practiced by past presidents in dealing with N. Korea. According to Obama, N.K. was the "hottest" foreign sitation. Very cool now thanks to President Trump's unconventional diplomacy. 3. Outside the box approach to border security has Mexico manning both their southern and northern borders with their own army. 4. Relocated US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem when past administrations talked about it but abstained because of "conventional wisdom" of the experts.

The house of cards finally seems to be coming down, although it was an inevitability really. Don't act so surprised. Oh, and he also abolished the US Pandemic Response team in 2018, gutted the CDC funding, and just this January he *rejected* coronavirus test kits offered by the World Health Orginazation so that private pharmaceuticals here in the states could develop their own tests and rake in maximum profits (one large reason we're so behind when it comes to testing and response).

@Don Gray I dispute the notion that any Democrat would be better than Trump. Voting Biden will be voting business as usual for the billionaire class. Corporate Dems have opposed little of what Trump has put through policy wise, tax cuts for the rich, secretive bail outs for Wall Street, insane increases in the already insane defence budget for endless resource grab wars, further Orwellian measures for surveillance that are sure to be used against progressive activists. Biden's actual record on looking after the working class and the black population sucks and doesn't match his rhetoric (although that depends on what day of the week it is). Establishment Dems are no friends of working people, they represent the same donor class as the Republicans. They just put a slightly kinder face on it. It's a one party system, with two corporations offering virtually the same product. A choice between Coke and Pepsi, neither of which will be good for you. Trump is just a front man for a larger bunch of war mongering sociopaths. Biden would be just a different front nan for the same band. You can't honestly tell me that there is any integrity in the corporate dems in the way that they tried every underhand trick to stop Bernie and are now using Biden, who is clearly suffering, because all their other corporate stooges failed. The corporate dems learned nothing from the 2016 defeat, pathetically trying to blame Russia for the fact that working people lost faith in them. What an insult that was to working people that the Dems 'believed' that a few juvenile click bait memes somehow swayed their vote. Seriously, how can anyone still fall for that crap. The same intelligence people who lied to us about Iraq (among other things) and who's past members have admitted it was all part of their job to lie, cheat and keep progressives out of government, suddenly pop up at a crucial part of the campaign to let Bernie know the supposedly mastermind super villain Putin is helping his campaign. Give me a break. These people are crooks all working for corporate and oligarchical interests.

Dude, I am with you! Democratic voters need to fight for the Democratic nominee, *no matter who that is*!! I don't see Biden as progressive, and neither do millions of young voters who are Bernie supporters. HOWEVER, we cannot give Trump another 4 years by going the 'Bernie or bust' route. That's what sitting out this election will do. There is no rational justification for thinking there is an equivalency between Biden & Trump, and no moral justification in letting Trump prevail. To win, we need to do what Rebublicans do: they get behind their nominee (even if they find him totally repugnant)! Vote Blue, no matter who! Even if it is not the change you would like to see. Either way, I would take Trump's eviction notice gladly. If you like Biden, great! If you have to hold your nose in order to vote for him, do it anyway!! Our Democracy is at stake!

If the democrats handed the election over to the local dog catcher, I would gladly vote for the dog catcher. Having a con man president, (Trump) in the White House is unacceptable. Sanders and Biden are both way more qualified to be the president than the hypothetical dog catcher and way way more acceptable than Trump. Trump MUST GO!

@@damianlord9340 I assume you mean well. Let's imagine Bernie won the nomination, then went on to win the Presidency. How does he plan to shepherd Medicare For All and paid college tuition through the House and Senate into law? Even if the Senate flipped blue? After four years of failing to enact his agenda, his base would loose interest, the country would see him as a failure and vote him out. He'd become a one term President. This is the question I keep wanting the media to ask him, "what is your plan to pass these programs into law?". But if we can reverse the damage Don The Walking Cheeto did to Obamacare, a Public Option is within reach, we would be taking a huge step forward from where we are now.

@richardmorgan1588 4 года назад
Cudgeon It will all be elementary by the time Indiana votes. Tonight’s results do not look good for Sanders. If Sanders had pulled an upset in South Carolina, this race could be very different now. I’ve pledged from the beginning that I would support the nominee without conditions. If Biden is that nominee, the only way he doesn’t win is if Democrats do not come together and vote. Sanders has been saying he is the one who can inspire the turnout. If he can’t do that in the primary, I certainly don’t see how he could do well in the General! So as I said before: we will see how sincere this call for unity truly is! One other thing. Joe isn’t Hillary. This is the former Vice President of the most popular administration our country has seen in decades. Sure, it wasn’t perfect but it was far better than what we’ve seen with our current White House. Don’t count him out!

I will vote third party if Bernie loses. I have to vote with my conscious. Neither Biden or Trump will give us true voting reform like ranked choice voting, making election day a holiday, keeping a minimum amount of polling places, etc and neither will give us true military industrial complex reform or private prison reform. I could go on and on. If the moderates had picked Amy Klobuchar or Pete buttigieg then I could see myself stomach voting for them. No way am I going to vote for a senile person. And Bernie doesn't control me - I really don't give a shit what he has to say once he quits.
