    2%. :cheers:

    I would vote for her for the local school board. She'd be great at it, probably the sanest out of the Dem 2020 clown-car travelling circus.

    Dems have no candidate who can possibly be elected POTUS, and they all know it.

    Assassination remains their only realistic option to stop Trump from bringing them to justice and saving American from their treason.

    Hopefully, they fail at that also. :dunno:

    I don't think you are correct about that, except in the sense that practically anything can be considered part of the Green New Deal. I don't think any of them have endorsed the Deal overall or talk about it regularly. And I agree with Riverman - it's aspirational, not a map for governing.

    Now, you might object to some of that, but do you disagree with (B) or (C) or (D)? I'll bet you don't, you crazy liberal!

    I was talking the really stupid shit, like free 4 year college tuition, a guaranteed basic wage (whether willing to actually work or not), “free” healthcare, “free” or unsustainably low cost housing, etc, etc, etc. I’m reasonably liberal, but not so liberal that I’m willing to foot the bill for those who don’t have the motivation or interest in putting for an effort towards their own survival. There’s no free lunch Barfo.....and no one has the right to expect one. I’m all for leveling each and every playing field, but every capable individual needs to do their own part in life. And those who aren’t capable deserve our help. But even in socialism, if you don’t work you don’t eat.....

    I think you underestimate Amy's ability to shine given the opportunity. I know she will be well liked in the mid west and by more republicans than Warren. Actually AK has a nice balance of in command and wit, and I don't think we have seen her best as yet. I think even tough she hasnt been able to field as many questions as the current front runners, I think she has hit the ball just as well as EW to date.
    I actually think AK would do well against EW in a debate on issues and policy. Just my opinion.

    I get free gym membership with my Providence Medicare Advantage, its part of the monthly premium. So, it's not really free.
    Since I worked all my life, budgeted the best I could, Invested, Im now retired & able to now purchase a medicare advantage plan. When I was a young pup I never thought Id be able to retire or collect the SS I paid the government for so many years. Ive tried to encourage my kids to work hard manage their finance's/Budget/save, stay out of jail, make sure your spouse works too (or you will pa spousal support if you are the only bread winner) and they too will be able to retire someday, if they want.

    Right, and I was saying the people I listed haven't come out in favor of those things.
