After juggling with the issues for a bit, I honestly think Tulsi Gabbard is who I’m going to vote for. I don’t think she’ll win, mainly because I’m almost positive the DNC is going to hand the nomination over to Harris, results be damned, but I’m going to vote for her nonetheless. She’s anti-war and anti-private prisons. She’s pro-choice. She’s heavily critical of radical Islam. She may or may not be anti-LGBT which, while it could be an issue, regardless of her stance I don’t think she would focus on those issues at all (for better or for worse) when in office, they just aren’t what’s important right now. But the most important aspect is her fight against Big Tech. At first I thought that champion was Elizabeth Warren, but frankly other than a few call outs here and there I can’t say she has my confidence that she will see it through, whereas Tulsi has proven by her lawsuit against Google that she is actually willing to take them to battle, and whether or not she will win in court, that honestly speaks volumes to her character, at least in my eyes.

You know, it would probably be a good idea for any campaign to pick up a few Clintonites as staffers. It's always good to know when you gently caress and make a really bad proposal because Mark is all in on how great an idea it is for once.Condiv posted:https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1155572673881288711?s=20 One day people will realize that while having your opponent be a certifiable piece of poo poo is a real nice starting point, you do still have to do more than just repeat, "Man, what a piece of poo poo" for 6 months.

Well sure, but have you considered that if you just keep doubling down on a failed strategy you won't ever have to admit that you were wrong? And after all, isn't that what really matters?

Kamala's plan is obviously far from perfect... but at least she HAS a plan, and not just tired old rhetoric from her stump speech. It's easy to stay pure and perfect when you don't frame your endless promises in terms of realistic policy proposals.

Great news, everyone! Kamala Harris has seen the negative feedback on her "partial student loan forgiveness for black entrepreneurs in disadvantaged neighborhoods if their business survives for three years" plan, so she came back to clear up our worries. https://mobile.twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1155592267668832261 https://mobile.twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1155592269006868489 The tack she chose is pretty revealing. It seems clear that she realizes her plan is getting slammed, but she doesn't seem to understand why. It's too bad she's facing a softball lineup in the upcoming debate.

She's gonna get free points for poo poo she says to Biden even if it's not actually that Substantive. She needs to be put with Sanders so she tries to get a dunk on him for being mean and old, he can retort by contrasting himself with her with how her policies actually help everyday people instead of her capitalism.

What are they even gonna say? They'll be out doing one another on who wants to confiscate the most guns and arrest the most people. Would be a good chance for Swalwell, but Harris is probably gonna "win" that because she's a cop from California and she'll let us know how much she'd love arresting people for owning guns.

So I ran across a new paper out that models the impact of a $200-600 a ton carbon tax: https://www.nber.org/papers/w26086quote:Using data from a large proprietary database of field-level oil data, we show that carbon prices even as high as 200 dollars per ton of CO2 will only reduce cumulative emissions from oil by 4% as the supply curve is very steep for high oil prices and few reserves drop out. The supply curve flattens out for lower price, and the effect of an increased carbon tax becomes larger. For example, a carbon price of 600 dollars would reduce cumulative emissions by 60%. So a $200 a ton carbon tax would cause a 4% reduction in emissions. For context, we need to get to 100% reduction in emissions within 20-30 years. So when you look at candidates like Biden or Yang who are proposing far less than the $600-$1000+ carbon taxes we need, recognize that's the path to a world with a worse climate outcome than under Trump because we will waste our time and effort passing lovely laws that will then be defended for decades. Look to Biden's defense of Obamacare as the foreshadowing of how Bidencredits will be defended even as emissions continue to rise.

All she's proving by trying to clarify it is she had no loving idea what was in this plan in the first place.

Trabisnikof posted:So I ran across a new paper out that models the impact of a $200-600 a ton carbon tax: https://www.nber.org/papers/w26086 To be fair "carbon taxes" coming from any of the neoliberal shills currently running would just be a pretty terrifying "the poor get to literally starve now" measure. If you measure it by the weight of the gasoline, which the paper doesn't, then $200/ton only results in gas going up about $0.63/gal. $1000 and it goes up by $3.15/gal. If you raise the price by $1000/ton of CO2* like the paper actually suggests then it jumps from a paltry +$3.15/gal to about $10/gal. *A gallon of gasoline only weighs about 6.3lbs, but because the O2 is a lot loving heavier than that one carbon atom a gallon of gas becomes about 20lbs of CO2.
