Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

It's strange how pk was laughing at this bill but then did a 180 once time4fun gave her opinion on it. If I didn't know any better I'd say pk found a new sugar momma.

Nope, still laughing at this terrible bill.

Anyone know what these people have in common?

Buttery males.

"Center-left", maybe. I agree with most of what Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez say, but I don't believe they can realistically accomplish it without moderating their positions, so I support more moderate dems in the meantime.

So you support:

1) A federally guaranteed job
2) Abolish ICE
3) Housing is a human right, which means government will guarantee housing for it's citizens.
4) Healthcare is a human right, which means government will guarantee healthcare for it's citizens.
5) Congressman can take no money from the gun lobby.
6) Restore Glass/Steagall.
7) Cancel Puerto Rico's debt.
8) Free higher education for all.
9) Cancel student debt for all.
10) 100% fossil fuel free by 2035.

You'd be surprised. The girlfriend is all about it. I asked her how she proposed to pay for all of this. "Taxes." I told her it would take 50+% federal tax. "So?"

It would take a great deal more than just 50% taxes...

Out of those, the ones I agree with that can be 'realistically' accomplished would be 4 and 5.

I like the ideas of 8 and 10, but they will take years/decades of work (10 especially probably won't be feasible until after we're all dead).

Undecided on 1 and 6, the 'guaranteed jobs' thing sounds interesting and similar to what other politicians have proposed but I haven't seen much on how they'd implement it. I'm also fairly ignorant on Glass-Steagall (I know what it is, just haven't really weighed all the details)

The rest are no.

I love her so I was being kind.

4.. ok, I can understand that. If there was a feasible way for paying for it without penalizing the political foe du jour, I too would be all for it.
5.. I don't understand why the gun lobby would be different from any other lobby. I would agree to it if, say.. we eliminated unions from giving money to candidates.
8.. Some kids just don't have it in them for college. And again.. how to pay for it?
10.. I would absolutely be behind that if decent alternatives were found.

We aren't all that dissimilar in our political views... but I think you are far closer to the center than you believe.

I have a sister like that.. so I understand.
