Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders should tag team for President and Vice President. We need two heavy hitters, one to fix things from the Trump era and one to push the U.S. forward so we can compete globally

[@JKAMS2112]

and to be accepted again globally. It'd be great to have these two run the government, but I'm afraid both won't make a chance against Trump. The Americans aren't ready yet for their progressive ideas, at least not enough Americans are. As long as the majority of the country still believes that universal healthcare and a more equal tax system are the equivalent of socialism and/or communism, there's no chance for Warren and Sanders. It's mostly because of the lack of education on these matters amongst both dems and reps. Lack of education leads to deep rooted conservatism and fear. Ah well, we can always hope it'll be better next year.

Just being VP for Obama is not enough

Next we'll be fighting for free air.

[@candlelight1401]

@@AZOffRoadster air in of itself is free. We don't have factories to produce it. We don't create products from it, nor do we have to go anywhere specific to get it. Healthcare is a product. It is a thing literally produced by us. It takes mining from the earth or the harvesting of plants, or the growing of animals etc,, it takes shipping those gathered results, it takes manufacturing those resources and then refining that result even further. It takes more shipping, and not just shipping but sanitary shipping. And that's just to get the product to a place where they can turn that resource into the actual medical material and good. Then you involve people who have had to have been educated in order to correctly diagnose a person's illness in order for it to be correctly cured (500 people die every 36 hours to incorrect healthcare, it's already rushed as is). Then, and only then does someone get the healthcare you're saying should be free. That's hundreds of billions, if not a trillion dollar annual cost you want to entirely make free? In order to do that, you H A V E to increase taxes. That money MUST come from somewhere. Any candidate who tells you otherwise is outright lying to you. Now, don't get me wrong, I completely understand I could be taking you too literal when you said "fighting for free air" as a direct comparison. And then I admit I'm out of context. But my point is they're not the same thing. Air is a birth right because you are literally born because of air. Healthcare is a human invention, a massively complex institution. Making it "Free for All" is an absolute disregard for economy. I'm all about a better system, of course. It's absurd what our healthcare has become in America. But don't be to quick to say it's a "simple fix and should be free". Cheers

[@bbsy1]

Candle light You forget one major detail, countries with a tenth of the money this country has have it and make it work at the very least for its citizens. Surely this country can have something. However it is cheaper for insurance companies and doctors to pay politicians than it is to give people healthcare. Let the population dwindle to nearly nothing and then things will be better. We just need to wait for there to be no more people to rob blindly.

[@learntospellpeople]

@@bbsy1 Well said

[@candlelight1401]

@@bbsy1 i didn't forget that. That's actually the exact reasoning that i touched on. Countries that are 10th the population will have a significantly easier time doing "free for all" type of things. Because it's only having to reach 35 million people instead of 350 million. So the cost of raising taxes is WAAAAAAAAAAY smaller. Free healthcare for 350 million people literally, in no way shape or form in the real world, can NOT be free. It will only be possible if you raise taxes (quite a lot btw). Again, i really want to stress that I'm not defending Healthcare in america. (i also agree it's absurd). But I'm just explaining why it is the way it is. And that it's not easy to change like people think it is. Cheers.

I am a Conservative, no longer a Republican, who believes in Universal single payer healthcare. I worked in a small clinic, then in hospice, for many years and saw the incomprehensible greed of insurance companies denying everything they could get away from. I myself delayed healthcare for monetary reasons when my employer required a three month "grace period" before they would cover any medical care at all. Those three months were excruciatingly painful for me as I waited for medical care and surgery.

There’s something very wrong with the way medicine is practiced in this country. Check out every other democracy in the industrialized countries. There’s plenty of capitalism. The difference -they view, legislate and tax wealth because they believe that childcare, medical care and free public education are absolutely necessary fundamentals to promote social well being and a healthy democracy As a result Western Europe and Canada have lower infant and adult mortality rates, and they rank higher in measures of well being. The point is no one has to wonder what will happen if they get sick, or what the quality of the public school education is or see people sleeping on the sidewalks and on park benches or in tents, or wonder what’s going to happen when they get old. Our version of capitalism is cruel. In European countries because of built in safeguards does not cause the kind mistreatment of its citizens which happens every day to anyone who is dependent on our awful medical system.

She also claimed she would not challenge the military industrial complex. She supported Clinton over her friend Bernie in 2016. She puts establishment first when it comes to her own self-interests. Bernie ALWAYS puts the people first, no matter the circumstances. Warren runs the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which is designed to protect consumers from deceptive scams, yet she is willing to overlook all the scams of her friend Suze Orman. Warren has taken PAC money in the past, Bernie has not. She also plans to take PAC money if she makes it to the General Election. While I respect Warren, she is more suited in Congress or as a head of a cabinet.

I have no ill will to anyone who endorses Bernie or Elizabeth over her but Marianne has a number of unique positions that deserve to be covered in the press, particularly her reparations policy.

[@shobvious]

It's a language and identity thing I think. She expresses herself very non-mainstream, so almost no one gets her. She is great when you can hear past her esoteric/yoga-type speech patterns and listen to the message behind, but I don't think many can. I am as comfy in a yoga class chanting om as hanging out with dudes with a collection of 7 chain saws in their garage, so I don't care if she does the warm-fluffy speech that makes most people who ever operated a chain saw cringe. If you never went beyond your circle of comfort it's hard to start tolerating the cringe, but it just takes getting used to. That's why I love that she does not change herself to fit in better with the current status quo, as most politicians do. Because people get used to overlook the wrapping, it just takes consistent exposure and a little time.
