Thus, she isn’t even making 1%. Democrats are fucking alien spacecreatures.

I need lecture from Right wingers on decency
I think, with Trump in office, we are now way past common decency. I need lecture from Right wingers on decency as much I need devil to tell me about morality.

What of Andrew Yang?
I concur on Yang. I like him even if I think his UBI concept is completely unworkable. It might just be a bit of Democrat Bling that’s designed to get Lefty attention, even though he knows it is unworkable. He’s got to know! I mean, it would add over 2 trillion to the national budget every year! That’s a 50% hike! Where would the money come from? Tax it back from people? But what’s the point of giving it in the first place? The only way you could “win” would be to sit back and refuse to work so you wouldn’t get taxed. And that would make all our problems much much MUCH worse!

Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard said that if elected president she would drop all charges against NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Yeah,” Gabbard said when asked to clarify if she was also saying that she’d give Edward Snowden a presidential pardon, adding, “And I think we’ve got to address why he did things the way that he did them. And you hear the same thing from Chelsea Manning, how there is not an actual channel for whistleblowers like them to bring forward information that exposes egregious abuses of our constitutional rights and liberties. Period. There was not a channel for that to happen in a real way, and that’s why they ended up taking the path that they did, and suffering the consequences.”
This came at the end of a lengthy discussion about WikiLeaks and the dangerous legal precedent that the Trump administration is setting for press freedoms by prosecuting Assange, as well as the revelations about NSA surveillance and what can be done to roll back those unchecked surveillance powers.
They also discuss the dangers of allowing monopolistic Silicon Valley corporations to control public speech, then later discussing the possibility of breaking up these corporations or treating them as public utilities.
