UBI would be like putting a bandaid on an AIDS patient lol we need more than that for our grotesque system.

And exactly like beta said... Right wingers seem to like Yang who wants to give them free money every month... But they go crazy when evil Bernie the commie socialist wants to give people jobs and health care with their tax dollars lol. It's a weird display to say the least.

You can't fix the system by voting if your system of voting is broken.

Me personally, I just like that he has actual policy positions. The rest of the Democratic candidates, are just copying Bernie. Yang is open to discussion, can't say the same for the rest.

I am not interested in Government handouts. I will just keep the money I earn.
 
Well.....
the LEFT wants to turn us into Venezuela, give away everything for free till there’s nothing left to give away.
Then the RIGHT wants open borders for the Koch brothers which drives down wages for Americans, in turn maximizing profits for the business owners because they don’t want to give Americans live able wages. On top of that the migrants drain our education, welfare, wages, ect, ect...
The good thing is the economy is booming now that Trump has lifted all the red tape due to over regulation that the left put into place . So if I want to leave my current job today I could find a new one tomorrow, the only thing is I’ll be competing with illegals who will work for peanuts because 7.00 an hour is a helluva lot more money than 60 pecos a week. Just my 2 cents. Carry on.

I would like to vote for a libertarian but I must vote Trump this election cycle to help keep the liberals from power. The end goal of these liberals/progressives is socialism which just doesn't work. I understand the left hates the rich bit the answer is not making everyone poor.

You have a keen grasp of things regarding how the “right” operates...I find myself doubting your take on the “left” for one simple reason: the ONLY people who say “the left” want any such things are individuals who are *just* as wrong about “the right” as they are about “the left”. For example, the “economy is booming” meme only works from a very limited perspective: stocks are showing real weakness, which is bad juju for workers, and many of the “employed” are people working far below their skills, training, education.

I remember when Lockheed locked out their engineers back in the 60s, we ended up with WaffleHouse managers with advanced degrees and decades of experience...didn’t improve the dining experience...also led to a stiff recession locally, as wages were cut 60-90%.

These are not signs of a strong economy - quite the opposite.

Expect to hear about all of these things as campaigns gear up and get moving

First off why the hell should anyone elect another 70 - 80 year old career politician? WTF has a career politician ever done for anyone.

Second, what Bernie says and what congress does are 2 different things. He's proven that he is not a fighter when he carried Clinton's water after she stole the nomination.

Third, how much do you really know about Medicare? Medicare doesn't cover routine eye care, dental care, or hearing aids, and it also doesn't cover long-term care which can be ruinously expensive. In addition, you're responsible for paying deductibles, copays, and coinsurance, and these costs add up quickly, in fact, the average 65 year old couple retiring today can expect to pay upwards of $275,000 in medical bills during retirement.

Forth, politicians can not create good jobs in the private sector. It's like the stupid notion that we need college educated janitors, fast food workers, and dozens of other blue collar low paying jobs that keep the economy running. More college educated people don't create a demand for more high paying jobs. Do we really need more fuckin lawyers?

medicare for all covers eye care, dental care, hearing aids, and long term care.

it also ends the practice of copayments and deductibles.

We don't have dental up here. Teeth are the only thing not covered by OHIP. Crazy when you think that simple gum inflammation leads to cardiac disease which is covered and expensive in the extreme.

Lol.

What's next. Luxury blood types?

But seriously, i get my implants in Ecuador by a dentist trained in Colorado for cancer jaw reconstruction surgery. The cost? Veneers are $250 each, and implants are $1200. Thats hard to beat. I even get a 10 day vacation for it :)

Dr moved back home to raise his family. Dental tourism is huge there.

It's going to be between Trump and Biden. Neither one are all that great of options, I'll vote for whoever supports legalization of marijuana.
 
I’m in on Trump for the 2nd time.
I like how much he’s gotten done in 2 1/2 yrs fighting the media and the pee pee dossier. He’s a fighter (chuckles) creepy joe doesn’t stand a chance especially when his “what’s good for the NEGRO” speech is heard by everyone. But we have to wait and see already got my popcorn ready. ;)
