Back to back kryptonite topics for Hilldawg and Bernie lol.
I think they're going to have to perform a fusion. Bernary will have all their strengths and none of their weaknesses!
Back to back kryptonite topics for Hilldawg and Bernie lol.
Zoom in on Hillary with the head turn was a definite gif moment
All I've heard from Glass-Steagal from Lib/Conservative economists is that in the grand scheme of things, it's not going to make enough of a difference to actually matter- the AIG example Clinton gave is why.
I would vote Bernie/O'Malley.
Except Obama didn't run on experience of foreign policy. Hilary did.Compared to Obama who had even less? C'mon.
Hillary lost because of horrible management *and* because Obama literally ran the greatest campaign of all time.
I know Bernie's gun law history hurts him with the dems, but tbh it probably helps his chances in the general.
Every time Bernie gets questioned about how he will pay for healthcare, college, etc. he gives a very broad answer without any numbers. I know it's not realistic to calculate exact numbers, but give a reasonable range. 40-90% is not that. Until he figures that out, it will always look like he's dodging scrutiny to his ideas.That the concrete answer may well be 90%. And if it is, so what? This isn't a tagline, it's a question of how to fix a problem that is already unravelling our democracy.
1. economically, shit is fucked
2. we had sustained growth with a 90% upper tax bracket in the past
3. the president can't set exact tax rates anyway
I guess I don't see a problem? Just imagine it's 70%, that's probably the realistic upper bound.
Leading by poles or leading by principles
That sums it up
Okay but what is that, what is he referring to?
That's the rub- the left is broadly correct on a lot of issues, but populist liberal ideas are very often generally terrible ways of implementing solutions to them.I honestly find the fixation on Glass-Steagal (in spite of widespread agreement by economists that it wouldn't actually do much of anything) pretty baffling considering how stringently "pro-facts" the American left otherwise tries too hard to be.
(Even more baffling that Clinton not wanting to reinstate it is seen as a negative, but Sanders' apparent ignorance of the aforementioned consensus isn't seen as the nakedly populist, bullshit pander that it is.)
