What Candidates are you considering voting for?
I'd vote for all over Trump. But right now Biden is my least preferred. I agree with AOC, there's no room for a a middle ground on climate change policy.

It's honestly hard to say right now.
I know for sure that Inslee is a hell no as is Sanders, Biden, Harris, Booker and Warren. Then again, there are currently 417 who have tossed in their hat. https://www.fec.gov/data/candidates/...tion_full=true

I think Warren would be a great choice for President, personally.

Following a long time tradition from far left progressives. They know they rarely win anything, so they'll just poison the well. Typical.

IDK why the Ds allowed him on the ballot. They were nuts to allow it.

She wants to end corruption in DC but she is part of the issue.
Wants to get rid of electoral college...once again this is a HUGE mistake. Cities like LA and NYC should not be electing our president. States like NH, Montana, Wyoming, Delaware etc, should also have a voice.
Now she magically wants to help military families and their crappy military housing? Naw. Where was she when people were complaining before it made national news? Newsflash....military housing was privatized to make housing better for military families (the government controlled it before). They are having more of the same.

I think you're overlooking her positives on a lot of other issues. Not sure how she's corrupt, if you care to enlighten.

Re: the electoral college, I'll ignore the huge hole in your logic with the "LA and NYC" somehow electing our president meme, which is just silly and is predictably never substantiated whenever I rebut that point. But in any event, she wouldn't have the power to get rid of it as President. The best she could do is give her full-throated endorsement.

I'm not too familiar with this military housing issue, it's not an issue at the forefront for me so I don't really have an opinion on it.

But I do know that Warren has presented by far the most substantive policy of all the candidates to date. I know that she genuinely cares about consumers, that she was willing to take on Wall Street and is in general not afraid of holding powerful institutions accountable for misdeeds that affect every day Americans. I know that she wants to do something about the impending student loan crisis, and that she'll be an advocate for effective climate change policy. In my eyes, she's genuinely a candidate for the people.

She doesn't necessarily have my vote in the primary yet, but right now for me she's certainly in the lead.

Nope. I give a fair shake to all before saying nope.
I said she is part of the issue. She is helping those who she is colleagues with who are corrupt.

Population of LA: Just over 4 million vs for instance they over rule Montana (1.07 million), NH (1.356 million), Wyoming (578,000), Delaware (970,000). LA would over rule what MT, NH, WY and DE would even thing about. The electoral college was created to give every state a voice. This last election was proof.
You can ignore that logic all you want, but this was one of the things our forefathers didn't like about England.

The military housing thing should bother you since she wants to provide housing for everyone. So yes, it should be a forefront issue for you so you can really grasp the issue of how the government runs things and how they contract out things too. Here is a quote from a friend of mine who has a hole in their ceiling. Her oldest is about to undergo a 2nd heart surgery, cannot get sick or it gets pushed off. Also her husband is away at training so she is fighting the system by herself. If you would like I can find multiple articles for you showing the issues that are there. Also our own personal experience. It's not fun living in a place and constantly being sick for the full 1 1/2 years you are there. As soon as you move out, no issues anymore.
Quote:
After two inspection notices (in which they didn’t show up) and two cancelled appointments to have them fix the leak, my ceiling has fallen in �� Maybe they’ll actually show up on the 29th to fix it ��

Oh and BTW this is UNDER my master bathroom. So XXX and I have to shower in the kids bathroom so the tub doesn’t fall in
The "free" will have to be funded in some way, shape or form. Don't know about you, but my family (including my kids) were and are taught to work hard for what we have. You want a better life, work harder. It is NOT ok for people to get a free ride just because.

ETA: Just messaged my friend who has been dealing with a hole in her ceiling. They confirmed black mold and they don't know when they are going to be able to fix her ceiling.
