1/ Imagine if we had a presidential candidate saying “Yep it’s true. We’re going to give you free healthcare. We’re going to pass a Green New Deal. We’re going to make college tuition free for everyone. We’re going to cancel all your college loans.”

2/ And when people asked “But how are we going to pay for all that?” the candidate would say “By taxing the segment of people whose tax cuts and corporate subsidies have amounted to the biggest transfer of wealth in our history over the last 40 years.”

Bidens plans: Public option, automatic enrolment for the poorest Americans. Using the framework of the green new deal to fight climate change and have a cleaner environment. Hes also is in favor of making pubic college tuition free..

Yeah imagine that, it will never happen though. All you get is the same crap as obama care, denial of the green new deal and you must make under 125k for college to be free. And we will cancel 10k of your student loans. I imagine you weren't talking about a current candidate.

And theres nothing free about any of those things you listed...but you know greed and self serving interests always trump those ideas. So now we actually have trump for a president

I agree. If every other policy besides those were status quo, that would be a focused powerful campaign given the right persona driving it.

Object to the notion of "giving" something. These arent gifts from a POTUS. Theyre basic workers' rights (where students, ppl toiling with no wage, and ppl living with disabilities are RECOGNIZED AS THE WORKERS THEY ARE). Rubric s/b "we will stop theft of what's yours by right!"

Do they have a GREEN DEAL for THIS? Oil and other fossil fuel companies will be FLOODING us with MORE PLASTIC, an effort that includes the construction of nearly 350 new chemical plants across the US!
