    this is the most insane, absurd, disturbing s*** I've ever seen happen in the US politics and nothing comes close.

    At least he is trying. Some of the replies say that his Spanish has gotten better since the last time. I wouldn't know tbh but I will never look down at someone for trying their best to speak another language as a way to help them convey that they are open to seeing things from your point of view. It's one of the best ways to break down cultural barriers and understanding others in our community. Meanwhile Bernie bros out here retweeting/regurgitating an RNC "rapid response director" and the other half of you NEETs got #StillVotingYang trending on Twitter. foh.

    The gay mafia in full swing.

  • KimJongUn

    a reminder that you're in here uwuing over a guy who spent his 20s murdering iraqi children because he's gay

    “Murdering Iraqi children in his mid 20’s”

    You’re just making up stuff. Gay mafia might have a point you guys really are s***.

    I really don't think people are going to show up to the polls in the primary to vote for Bloomberg, regardless of what these polls say, tbh.

    I agree, but i think hes gonna try and buy himself the nomination at a brokered covention

    Do you think they're really about depopulation? Cos I do.

    oh of course. they’ll say we’re running out of resources for everyone while sitting on trillions. they’ll selectively starve certain parts of the world population instead of spend the money to properly feed them. bill gates already operates shadily in regard to his humanitarian efforts across the world, borderline eugenics what he’s up to

    the source is DailyMail which cites a poll from an unnamed source "close to the campaign" and when asked about it the campaign responded with "we aren't considering any VPs right now" basically

    tulsi

    Naming tulsi his VP would be a great way for me to give much less of a f*** about his campaign and presidency. She is nowhere close to him in terms of policy. Her health care is pretty much Pete's plan.

    bloomberg’s team is prob just floating the idea into the public to see the response. duh doi

    nina's foreign policy stances arent bad at all, they're similar to tulsi's. tulsi just has actual connections to progressive foreign bodies like the SSNP and said she would meet with leaders like Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad without preconditions.

    I don't know where you're getting this from, she's a co-sponsor of bills which have been sponsored by Sanders himself and has worked with Pramila Jayapal on a bill which was basically a clone of Sander's own proposal. In the past her comments on private healthcare weren't supporting anything like a public option, she was essentially saying she'd leave separate privatized care open for experimental or specialized care which couldn't be included in a federalized plan. She's literally worked with Sanders on healthcare plans before and when she entered office it was as a Sanders supporter.
    Many of her policies are to the left of sanders on a lot if anything, on twitter she's literally quoting Chomsky in regards to her policy inspiration. Only reason people seem to think she's right wing is because of her foreign policy being used a boogeyman as well as the fact she often entertains right wing pundits and believes in strong borders. She literally wants to use the position of president to actively chastise and prosecute big businesses, I don't even see Sanders staying stuff like that except for his wall street comments.

    yeah, she was a co-sponsor of HR 676. dunno where people get this idea that she's against universal healthcare.

    "I support a single-payer system that will allow individuals to access private insurance if they choose. I will also incentivize good health choices and lifestyles for a healthier, wealthier nation!"

    this is a quote directly from her website. if she supports medicare for all she should know you can't have single payer and private insurance. does her position maybe have more nuance than that? maybe, idk. but the point is medicare for all single payer seeks the elimination of private insurance, so its contradictory to say you support both. dont really care what she's signed on to because im pretty sure kamala harris cosponsored bernie's plan and she is definitely not an advocate for single payer.

    She doesn't do a good job explaining it on her website, the reason she says she still wants to keep private insurance is for secondary care which is specialized or experimental, she's explained it before on podcasts she's been on (as I understand it's similar to what's in Canada with a bit of nuance). Clearly if she's VP she's going to support Bernie's plans though, it's not like she's going to be VP and then advocate the complete opposite policy. Even on her website she has videos saying she supports M4A explicitly on the same page

    pretty sure she's also described herself as a hawk when it comes to things like the war on terror as well, which is essentially bernie as well. i highly doubt we'd be seeing regime change wars under bernie (which is basically tulsi's whole foreign policy, not supporting those wars) but it'd be most of the same when it comes to counterterrorism efforts. i don't see much of a foreign policy difference among them except she's probably a little bit more nuanced on those matters.
