DLC Inc posted:feels like a lot of people who would have voted Clinton over Sanders in 2016 are attaching the yas kween label to cops like Gillibrand and Harris. Feels bad that people are making GBS threads on Sanders in favor of Harris. It's good that Biden got turbofucked but it's looking like either Trump wins again narrowly or we go into a poo poo-tier status quo again. The only major difference will be a much better House of Reps who can hopefully train up to be in the Senate/head office later on. Part of me seriously doubts how we can make the country better when truly so many morons inhabit middle america and don't give a poo poo that their farms are hosed or that a hospital will bankrupt them. i'm no longer much of a gillibooster (her early funding-related hijinks are indicative of either an ongoing willingness to sell out for a good enough price, which is bad, or a genuine like and trust for soulless corporate monsters she personally knows, which might be worse) but since loving when is she a cop her worst not-house-of-representatives job was shielding the tobacco industry from the cops i guess if you're really mad about her being a government lawyer for Housing and Urban Development

Lance of Llanwyln posted:Williamson came off pretty crazy, but her heart appears to be in the right place, and that's more than can be said for most of the others. Plus, she's polling with the Tim Ryans and Kirsten Gillibrand's of the world, so it's not like she has an actual chance of going anywhere, so there's no real need to be really critical of her. Maybe she'll get an ambassadorship or something, at most. new zealand, obvs

VH4Ever posted:You motherfuckers have gone through the Irony Singularity and come out the other side with this bullshit. I can't even call this Galaxy Brain anymore. Trump's brainworms are clearly contagious. Typo is probably being ironic because he's doing a crossover between Marianne support and his CCP alter ego. i say probably because there's a serious risk that his CCP alter ego has eaten or will eat his actual views that said I want him to keep refining his Marianne arguments, sorry if that winds up making your head literally explode VH

VH4Ever posted:I've already said I've sort of lost my sense of humor about political stuff. I won't apologize for it nor be shamed for it either. I like a good joke, I have a loving COMEDIAN in my av for gently caress's sakes. But I don't know, somewhere between the full scale of concentration camps I have within an hour or two's drive of me, a dead kid and her dad on the Rio Grande which is just oh so loving funny to the CHUDS...somewhere in there I lost my ability to laugh at anyone's oh so cute and edgy irony. So save your energy. Your jokes, Typo's, etc...they will go over my head because I don't find any of this poo poo funny. We need to rid ourselves of the open criminal chief executive we have. We need to do a fuckton more. I don't feel we have space for ironic edgy jokes about who we get behind to do this. tbf part of the reason i mostly don't post in this thread outside of amusing shitposts is that it's obviously Sanders > Warren > Gillibrand? > losers and unless there's actual news that I think is interesting it's a fairly boring thread contentwise for me but you know what is both content and is good when I'm in stark-terror mode re: Williiamson and the Bad Timeline?

twodot posted:That's a strategy, but I don't see what's stopping donors from saying "leave it" if they actually believe that Warren's principles are in conflict with their interests. Presumably refusing their money in the primary is staking a claim she doesn't want to stump for the donor class, but if that were true bothering to accept money from people who don't even agree with you is a bizarre strategy. poo poo, i'll take any motherfucker's money if he just giving it away I dunno how I feel about that policy.

joepinetree posted:which is why the transfer of financial assets tax that Bernie proposes is so important. You transfer your house and assets to the company Dizz Jenouement that is based out of the Cayman Islands and at least you pay some taxes on that. got a link to this? I don't know anything about the particular proposal, but it seems like something you'd have to design pretty carefully to avoid either A) massive loopholes or B) significant unintended consequences.

joepinetree posted:
this is what i meant thanks edit: as a threat to tax evasion or intergenerational wealth transfer, it doesn't really do anything meaningful. I'm for it nonetheless - the top tax rate is half of a percent, which is laughable if it's meant to target a one-off transaction, and fortunately that's not really the intent of the bill. On the other hand, it's devastating to the current model of the stock market, for example. If I'm reading it correctly. Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Solkanar512 posted:So to you or anyone else, what is the answer to international tax havens, outside of parking aircraft carriers just offshore until they give up bank account numbers? I'm not asking this to imply that it's impossible to enforce, I just don't know enough to say what the right way to go about things is. Dunno! Global socialist revolution and/or taxing their pants off if they try to actually live their dumb lifestyle in the US / civilized countries? Money sitting in a tax haven isn't buying you your nineteenth yacht or letting you snort cocaine off the bellies of endangered belugas. joepinetree posted:It is far more meaningful than Warren's, but you're right that it's not the sole purpose. But it's inspired by ATTAC, which did in part think of it because of that. I think what I was angling for was more along the lines of: the financial transaction tax is all good and I like it, but in addition we need wealth taxes and/or estate taxes and/or other ways to redistribute the wealth of the rich.
