Good one!

A poll where Gabbard and Yang are 1-2? Laugh Out Loud

They are attention seekers, not real candidates.

In your mind, what qualifies someone as an "attention seeker" rather than a "real candidate"?

Is it more of a theft or more immoral than income taxes? The problem with a wealth tax is it's almost impossible to levy. Are you going to audit the assets of everyone every single year? It's a fvcking logistical nightmare. No one has brought that up yet, but it's obvious. A wealth tax would be impossible to implement.

This has been brought up. It's an issue, but can be accounted for, just like everything else when considering income taxes.

Plus, a primary reason that many billionaires have they wealth they do is that they've not paid any taxes for the last 40 years! Thus they should low those back taxes, plus penalties. Yeah I realize it wasn't a law but it should have been, because it was outright theft from everyone else.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Everyone already pays their fair share of taxes, except for the billionaires, who don't pay any.

Holding them responsible to pay their fair share is not such a radical idea, and I do support Bernie, so GTFO.

That's a reason to not have them pay taxes? Good grief. You're either a billionaire, very very stupid or both.

The billionaires are the ones who are running this country, not the candidates who are sticking up for the rest of us.

Trump or Warren, makes very little difference.

That field is weak. How they couldn't come up with at least one strong candidate to take on Trump is beyond me. It's not like you are challenging a popular president, heck he's not even that popular in his own political party.

Because of people like you who continue to support him.

Look back 4 years to a weak Republican field that lead to Trump being the nominee.

And a Democratic Party that sent no challengers to Hillary.

Hillary was capable, but the Republicans slandered her brand for a decade leading up to the election and people didn’t find her likeable.

Bernie was a challenger until the DNC intervened.

I think we can move, over time, to where the majority of Americans will be using some kind of single payer healthcare insurance.

I agree with you that a wealth tax will not happen.

You can’t pin down a value and most wealth is not in cash.

Actually a lot of people’s wealth is part of US debt. The wealthy lend money to the government. To tax them on the money they handed over would be weird.

You can reverse a lot of corporate tax breaks to raise money.

There is a lot of cash sitting around on balance sheets all over the country.

Don't understand how Biden didn't do the exact same thing as Trump re Ukraine. Can someone explain?

Why do you think a wealth tax is dumb? Are you a billionaire?

Oh look, they have money. Let’s take it.

A wealth tax is theft. It’s immoral.

A wealth tax is actually much more traditional and old fashioned in America than the income tax. What do you think a property tax is? Its a wealth tax, plain and simple. We have had it since the 18th century.

Keep dreaming democrat. Again, she is a socialist. She is raising taxes on the middle class and she does not appeal to moderates. She has even less charisma than Cankles. What does that spell?

DOOM!

Warren is a capitalist - not a socialist.

Ummm no. Property tax back then was considered like a business tax because property was income-generating when used as farm land.

Incorrect! She wants to "share the wealth"- taxing the wealthy, that IS socialism.

She will NEVER be POTUS.

Warren is very confused, and she flip flops all the time. Look at what she's done, because you can't go by her words.

She was a staunch Republican up until just a few years ago.

She has NO record of supporting, developing, nor even encouraging progressive socialist policies.

She worked as an attorney for DuPont, the chemical corporation, to get cancer victims to give up their benefits.

She has told the DNC that "nothing will change" and it will be "business as usual" if she is the candidate.

The corrupt billionaire controlled DNC fully supports Warren, and wants anyone to be the candidate except Sanders.

Her lip service about taxing the rich is just that, and in reality she will NOT tax the rich, nor hold them accountable.

She is NOT a democratic socialist. I wish that she was but she isn't, and I won't vote for her for that reason.

I guess you could call her a corporate socialist, the same that Trump is, but that's probably not what you meant.

A corporate socialist is a capitalist -- and therefore is not a person who stands up for the poor and working class of America.

Tulsi just gutted HRC on twitter.

I'd vote for her over DT or any other Dem running.

I did not vote for DT, and I will not vote for him. I will not vote for him in a box, I will not vote for him even if I (occasionally) watch Fox. I will not vote for him and his stupid hair, I will not vote for him any where.

America will vote in Trump for another 4 years. Better luck for you in 2024.

Gabbard and Yang are the ONLY real candidates.

A vote for Warren demonstrates you're not intellectually developed enough to vote.

Cankles just got floored by the most epic b*tch slap heard around the world:

"Great! Thank you.

You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation.

We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.

It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly."

Be careful and watch your back. Hire a bodyguard.
