I heard her interview on NPR this morning.
NO WAY would I ever vote for that female!
But then, there is no way I would ever live in New York, so I can't vote for her anyway.
Over half of the US budget, nearly 600 billion, goes to military spending.
In general, a strong military is necessary to protect our county but at the same time I can not help but believe there is a lot of waste and redundancy.
Cutting military spending back to maybe 500 billion and having 100 billion to help balance the budget pay Medicare for at least a couple of years or social security for 4 or 5 years.
Government overhead alone is 63 billion a year and to hear tell, millions are spent on frivolous golf outings and other such nonsense.
Me and every other American is expected to live on a balanced budget. I can't just spend 10 or 20% more year after year and expect someone else to pick up the bill. It does not work that way. I can not tell my employer he has to pay me more to make up for my spending like the government can raise my taxes to cover its spending.
Americans have to also understand that the government, federal or state, can not provide them with everything. There should be less government spending and more privatization in some sectors. In exchange the federal government has to cut it waste and spending by prioritizing and making it clear what it can provide and what it can not.
LOL the entire point of this election victory as that the Dems are tired of the old guard. But you keep babbling on about Nancy and Maxine while Democrats go about the business of revamping the party off your radar.
While I did argue that you can't use this victory to mean big things nationwide, I do agree that there is an overall sentiment around the country of people being tired of established politicians across both parties. Really ordinary people feel like no one is looking out for them anymore... so anyone who comes along and seems to sincerely want to fight for people just to be able to live a decent life while working that 9-5 (or 40 hours a week on your shift LOL) is going to get a lot of votes.
And yet my explanation of why has never been dismissed outside of "The GOP would be mean to him" like anyone in the middle or left would have cared what they said.
If all it took to win was the votes of "the left" then Bernie would have actually won in reality, not in people's imaginations.
But that muddy middle? Yeah, they wouldn't have been thrilled with things like Bernie extolling the virtues of Castro and saying breadlines were good, and being shown up for the hypocrite he is by getting his wife appointed to a commission to send Vermont's nuclear waste to a small town filled with Latino people in Texas. And there's so much more, but I'm not going to bother. The reality remains that Hillary did not go negative on him and the GOP would have.
If I remember we had a great former community organizer in the White House for 8 yrs.
Gotta start somewhere, at least she's not declaring bankruptcy and suing everyone in her sights.
What country's Socialist system is this candidate's inspiration?
Btw, that ''great former community organizer'' was chosen over the much more qualified female Dem in 2008. Remember Hillary Clinton sat there hearing comments from fellow Dems about her shrillness, fat a*s, likeability, and of course, the deault, being a ''racist'', etc. You know, all the stereotypes coming from the party for women...lol.

While people may be expected to live on a balanced budget, they don't; and, yes, many expect someone else to pick up the tab. This Socialist candidate will make sure both the former and latter happen. Good luck NY.
A socialist got rid of a 10-term future Democrat Speaker? NOT good news for Democrats. I suspect the voters didn't realize they chosen a nutjob for the Democrats. Time to capitalize for the GOP by reminding the liberal voters who this nutjob is... They won't go along with a socialist.... Hahaha...
Right wing Wall Street democrats are very upset about this.
This is the Queens district I grew up in and voted in since before it became the 14th. From everyone I've spoken to, it was more about Crowley losing touch with his constituents : sending his kids to school in Virginia instead of New York, not even showing up to a debate, etc.
It wasn't about people wanting free stuff, it was about kicking Crowley to the curb for taking them for granted.
Why shouldnt people want tax funded stuff? Whats so great about a government that gives free stuff to the military industrial complex, Wall Street and the ruling donor class, while ordinary salt of the earth Americans are kicked to the curb? I dont see people get furious at freeways, it even has free stuff in its name, even though everyone understands its funded by taxes. Why not Medicare for all?
This is a signifcant loss for Wall Street and the ruling class and their media and supporters will do all they can to downplay this event.

No state that went Hillary would have went for Trump because it was Sanders.

Hillary couldn't go negative on him because what he stood for was what she pretended to stand for.
