Feel free to lay out your top 10 wishlist from the Dems. Then I'll cherry pick and bash a few.
Gee, I'm sorry for pointing out there is a lot of lip service coming from your guys. Say one thing, do another.
I'm on Team Bernie
1. Try to slow down climate change (as opposed to being in complete denial).
2. Overturn Citizens United.
3. A sensible immigration policy, not mass deportations and wall building.
4. Stop this ridiculous battle against gays and women (birth control, abortions, PP) There is no war on Christians.
5. Hold the banks accountable for their actions.
6. Legalize weed.
7. Diplomacy, rather than war mongering.
8. Making sure that full time workers can feed their family without gov't assistance (a.k.a. hating job creators).
9. Fight racial inequality and police brutality
10. Make education more affordable
Of course, he can't wave a magic wand and fix everything, but being aware of these problems is a good start. It's certainly a better start than living in the fantasy land where your guys reside.
I am going to play devil's advocate on your stuff as a Republican watching the Dem debate:
1. Try to slow down climate change (as opposed to being in complete denial).
You want to kill jobs by instituting more regulation and taxing businesses all in the hope of controlling a problem that even climate models can't accurately predict.
2. Overturn Citizens United.
You don't believe in free speech and the right of people to spend money as they see fit.
3. A sensible immigration policy, not mass deportations and wall building.
You support taking away low income and middle class jobs and giving them to law breakers. You say you're worried about low pay, and illegal immigrants depress the wages of natives.
4. Stop this ridiculous battle against gays and women (birth control, abortions, PP) There is no war on Christians.
Abortion is murder. It is the human rights fight of our generation. Christianity is a big part of our cultural fabric, and people are trying to cleanse our society of traditional Christian values.
5. Hold the banks accountable for their actions.
Bank are regulated more than ever. They are scared to lend and have thus derisked their portfolios. This has reduced economic growth and constrained business creation.
6. Legalize weed.
Weed is a gateway drug.
7. Diplomacy, rather than war mongering.
Projecting power is the best way to prevent war. Why would we talk to dictators and human rights violators or people that chant death to America?
8. Making sure that full time workers can feed their family without gov't assistance (a.k.a. hating job creators).
The government push to increase wages reduces employment and raises costs to consumers. Job will move overseas or be automated away.
9. Fight racial inequality and police brutality
Police have a thankless and difficult job. They are the ones that are under attack. You don't support law enforcement and the rule of law.
10. Make education more affordable
How do you propose to raise the funds to accomplish this goal? More property taxes?
I suppose if I took a bunch of terrible positions, and supported clowns as you have, my responses would also be sarcastic, as well. Good talk.
