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.

Sorry, they did--twice. Bernie was my guy, and is right about everything, but Fox and all have soiled his "Socialist" brand very badly. Must go about it another way. Biden got twice the votes Bernie did, plus no one wins the Dem nom with only 15% of the Black vote. Move onward!

They wouldn't turn it down but the government couldn't pull it off.

They don’t. It’s largely popular

I’m turning that down. What you leave off with your fake promises is they we in fact will all have to pay for that free stuff with out income taxes.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Unlike you, the American people are smart enough to know you can't pay for it.

93 million extra people might vote.

No one will turn down free stuff that someone else pays for!

The American people didn't. Your party did.
