To the "Oh she's not a serious candidate" crowd: I take seriously that America has the highest poverty rate of any advanced democracy. I take seriously that one in four Americans live with medical debt. I take seriously that tens of millions of Americans live with over a trillion dollars of college loan debt just so that greedy financial institutions can leech off young people's desire to become educated and better their lives. I take seriously that we need to ramp down fossil fuel extraction NOW if we're in any way to keep faith with the right of future generations to even survive on this planet. I take seriously the threats to democracy posed both by neo-fascism attacking it from the outside, and neoliberalism eroding it from the inside. Of course "they" don't want you to think I'm serious. Because. they're. not.

I think we should decrease the defense budget by at least 20 percent. As president I would close (which the president can do unilaterally) military bases in several countries. I would establish a U.S. Dept. of Peace. Our Sec. of Defense would not be a former member of Raytheon, nor would he or she be a military general. I do not give the U.S. war machine a pass.

You support nazis. Which shows a complete lack of knowledge of regional geopolitics. Of course, that's not unusual for US presidents and politicians, but how long can this nation afford that type of ignorance in the executive branch?

Most your platform, 馃憤 Not college debt relief. Nothing's going to change if you don't revamp the entire college system + Millennials are making more than they ever have, inflation included. PLZ share what you're going to do about Monsanto, that's a big deal, our food quality.

She's a lying POS. Luckily she doesn't have a chance. Last I looked she was at 2 percent. Pushing her outdated hippie nonsense on 18 year olds.

Would he or she be chosen based on sex, gender, race, or anything else that has no bearing on their ability to do a job?

how will that work when you said you want to keep pumping ukraine with weapons until the last ukrainian standing? what if there are women you need to protect like in afghanistan, or kurds you need to support. You supported those wars because of these reasons, remember?

You still support the war in Ukraine, and to state that the Pentagon's budget needs to be decreased by 20 per cent is absurd - it needs to be utterly dismantled, and all of US bases closed. You'll be steamrolled by the DNC.

Pay attention @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse @SethMagaziner This is where a lot of the energy is, and it is only going to increase as more and more people realize there are other options than $10B nuclear subs and feeding corrupt military corporation CEOs.

Hmm. You鈥檙e swaying me. Would you also offer 20% Medicare for some & eliminate 20% of child poverty? I see a flaw though. What if another candidate ups you by campaigning on a 21% figure? Bet you didn鈥檛 think of that, you鈥檙e welcome. 馃槈
