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.”

3/ Call me whatever, but I cannot imagine that the American people would turn that down.

Turn down an obvious lie? I think most thinking Americans would, because it's obvious that all you'll do is tear down the system entirely as the Bolsheviks did. Tens of millions starved for that. No love for the rich, just a love for infrastructure and stocked shelves.

The crazy part is, many WOULD turn it down.

We call you queen amongst friends. Even when we disagree with you wholeheartedly for a moment, you are still very much that. By the way on a serious note, thank you once more for the Assange tweet-out. <3

Except just look at California that has been run by the democrats forever and nothing remotely like that has ever worked out. They never actually do what they say they will do.

This is all pandering by establishment politicians. This will NEVER work. More taxes will never be the answer, unless the question is how do you destroy the nation. The implications of raised taxes are vast, and I don't believe the country is stable enough to handle the fallout

Unfortunately democratic primary voters did turn that down 2020. Don´t know what that makes them. 😇
