So the fucker wants people to wait until 2020 to primary him so that they might have a chance of having someone in office who can actually help them when he could be leading the charge on Medicare For All and fixing the wealth inequality.

I honestly can't think of any 2020 contender that has been here for the people of America in the way Bernie has. It's amazing how much faith you put in someone just for showing up and holding town halls and having conversations with regular people these past four years.

There's no way he isn't sworn in January 21st, 2021.

It's so loving obvious what the Dems need to do, but I don't see Harris or Booker or Gillibrand out there mixing it up with regular people. All I see are lip-service tweets from them.

People come together in cities because cities allow for greater specialization in trade and skillsets. They allow people to leverage themselves in a way that's impossible in a small town. This has been the case throughout history- a 100-person farming town had no need for a artist, or a weapons designer, or an economist. Organizing together lets us form synergistic hives that are far greater than the whole.

Rural towns were created for economic reasons in the first place. If there's no longer a reason for people to live there, it's no shame to let it die and fade into the ashes of history becoming a ghost town. Given how virulently racist and xenophobic these parts of America are, it's very hard for me to see this other than a gigantic net positive for us as a nation.

Any system will disadvantage those who are not rich/white. But that does not mean that people are incapable of bettering themselves or having a better quality of life under it despite the white majority pushing on their back. The system is still preferable to other options. And supporting capitalism doesn't mean that we can't work to try and correct for the ways in which it has externalities or the social realities through government action.

Yes. Yes they can. Thousands of people are crossing over our southern border in hopes of a better life here. People have come here fleeing hatred and discrimination elsewhere, because as many problems as we have, we've still been better than the alternatives. People join the military and constantly uproot their families.

It's not heartless. It's what people do, constantly, on a daily basis, but it's what people have been more and more unwilling to do over the past few decades. The amount of people moving has been going down from the '80s to the '90s to today, and it's a big problem. Part of that is a lack of housing being built in thriving cities, but it's not the only reason.

If liberals keep saying cities are inevitable, and that the rurals have to move to the city, then why don't they start by finding ways to substantially lower home prices and rent costs?

I’ll answer with this:

This is why you need to build more housing, which I'm also pushing for. Yes, people who build the houses will benefit. They're not the ones who prevent it from being built- those are the people who benefit from tit NOT being built.

The land... will still be land. Ghost towns exist. Nature eventually reclaims that which sits unused.

Sure, someone can buy [the land after it’s been abandoned] if they want. But if people are leaving because there's no reason to live there, it's hard to imagine people wanting to buy it (hence the need for welfare/relocation assistance - the pallatative care analogy.)

Personally want Biden because he'll beat Trump. Pennsylvania is unwinnable for Trump on a Biden ticket, probably Michigan and Wisconsin as well. The path to 270 would be non existent without one of those states because Ohio will likely not be a win as well for Trump again. Basically I don't care as much about the policy tentpoles for 2020, than I do about taking power away from this administration.

Biden is probably the best choice. He's uniquely suited for a battle with Trump due to being by far the best showman available in the field. He's got something of a moderate reputation which is good for bringing in independents, but he can also go far left in regards to a few policy issues to bring in the progressive wing of the party. He can bring PA home which is huge and would be a strong contender for rust belt states.

His longevity doesn't really matter. We're in a position where Trump has to be beaten at any cost. I'd like Gillibrand in the VP slot, maybe Joe steps down after 4 years giving her a clear path, but I don't like her for this particular matchup. The showmanship side of this thing is extremely important against Trump.

Profit is plenty progressive, else it's not possible to pay for the things we want to do. The thing about a single-payer system, or anything even approaching that, is that the hospitals STILL make money, money to pay the doctors, money to pay the administration, money to pay for upkeep, rents, electricity, property taxes, all of which rise as time goes on, necessitating profit and more. It's when it's a required service yet they cannot profit off of it that hospitals close down, or hospitals let costs to consumers spike -- like say, insurance companies who claim someone with a broken arm doesn't *really* need an x-ray, so they won't pay for it.
