Again, if hardliner conservatives and Libertarians dont understand the pulse of the American people we will have all out socialism. Warren may in fact be the messenger that convinces centrist americans to get on board.

Not surprisingly, a closer look at this info paints a different picture. First, the database matching being referenced is characterized as “weak,” which means that closer scrutiny would surely revise the numbers downward. Next, we’re talking about non-citizen individuals who applied for drivers licences or ID within a 22-year span, and also voted at some point during that period. Did some of those individuals become citizens during that period? We don’t know, because the provided data doesn’t include that information. If the ultimate goal is electoral integrity, both of those questions would need to be answered.
It’s consistently been the case that these attempts to prove widespread fraudulent voting have crashed on the rocks of actual scrutiny. They’re part of a cynical attempt to limit the franchise, and should be viewed with suspicion.
Ive read all of this. The article i linked was not to say ah hah here is the proof that millions of people vote illegally. Iys to show yet another weakenss in our voting records where nobody can say with confidence who is and isnt voting.
We will see more of these stories gradually come out juhst as we have with other states.

Ok, well it seems to me that the sensible solution is to ensure that only legal voters are voting while also designing the process to encourage as much legal participation as possible, because taking steps to make it harder to vote only benefits the entrenched power structures that you’ve identified as problematic. Seems like your newfound appreciation for economic populism would point you in the right direction, so I’ll be patient until that particular lightbulb switches on.

Oh golly gee, she has a bunch of degrees!
Tell me Julio, what's your thoughts on her wealth tax? You've never once answered my questions about this stuff but hell I'll try again:
1. How is it constitutional? Is Warren intentionally ignorant or does she not care?
2. How did this work out for France? Let me guess, this is different!
3. Does she think there is some magical government database of people's assets? How does the government collect this info without a huge invasion of privacy? What are we going to classify as assets?
4. I know y'all hate it when we bring math into the equation here, but does she understand the destruction this would cause?
5. Warren attacks Dan Snyder for buying a yacht... As if she has some power to decide what people do with their own money. As if she doesn't understand how rich people buying rich things produces jobs (see what happened during the luxery tax days of the 90s). Shey says it hurts people struggling with student debt but then she turns around and charges University millions of dollars for her to speak at their campus. What a hero she is. A very rich one at that... Reminds me when it was revealed that Bernie has a lower tax rate than you and me
6.. I know you.dont give a **** about protecting people's freedom but you've still yet to answer whether you think it's OK for me to decide to steal direftoy from my very rich neighbor for no other reason than he.is rich.
It's clear to me this is completely impossible to do (see reasons 1 and 3)... But she's using it as a rallying call for crazies as a reason to hate the rich. It's not a serious proposal. If she's smart as you say she is, she knows that. And if she knows that, she's just using dumb emotional people to get support.
Hell now we've got thethe hopping on the socialism train lol

Im trying to stop socialism from taking full hold in this country. If you choose to ignore those that have not taken part in the positives of capitalism then you will be part of the reason why capitalism ends.
The citizens of our nation decide its future. How are you going to convince enough people that the market is the answer for everything when people are struggling to love day by day? Bannon predicts that future will be one of two forms of populism. Capitalistic or socialistic. I prefer the former.
I think we'll do what Sweden did and go to socialism and things will go to **** and we'll get a government that comes in a has to fix things.
ACA was a good example but unfortunately the sheep we're convinced still that that too was capitalism so now we need more.
Once burns everything down we will go back to freedom. Will be painful.
But did she win a Pulitzer?

seriously, every time i see a tweet or video of the president or one of his sheep talking about how he was elected to do this ****
i remind myself that trump didn't win a majority of the vote in the republican primary and didn't win a majority in the general election
no majority wants his agenda
