probably something that doesn't include killing people, that'd be a good start.

if youre talking about china, then i don't really care about a "threat" to US global financial hegemony, and neither of us know enough to talk about the nuances of that or whatever.

I deadass know nothing. I'm trying to figure out why we would be laying down drone strikes for no reason

Defund the police is an abhorrent idea.

The rest are things that sound great on paper but aren’t financially feasible in the US

Defund the police
Ridiculous and the people in favour of this are anarchists. Would lead to a huge crime increase and presumably the end of the country as gangs would take full control

M4A
Huge strain on economy

Schooling for all
Huge strain on economy

Student debt remove
This is even more ridiculous in the way warren proposed it. discussed this before

Green new deal
Too ambitious and too expensive

I’m not conservative at all but

Defund the police

• people misunderstand this and they get scared for their safety. Lots of crime issues and to them reducing funding for police is counterintuitive

M4A

• people think this will hurt the economy/cost too much. Also worry that it will result in a worse healthcare system and hurt jobs by getting rid of private insurance

Schooling for all

• assuming this is college it’s the same thing of people worried it’ll ruin the economy in terms of cost

Student debt remove

• as above. Honestly as left as I am even I’m not so sure about this

Green new deal

• environmental regulations hurt free business and by proxy hurt the economy is the argument against it

Agree for the most part

But a lot of the lefts issue is how they present this stuff

Your average person doesn’t understand that defunding the police doesn’t mean no criminal accountability and therefore the GOP can use it as a fear tactic

It’s something that the left HAS to work on cause conservative arguments boil down very easily for people who don’t do their own research

hi, moderate

AFAIK most people support those policies, but vote against their own interests due to right-wing propaganda

Guess what? Most people are for health-care coverage for pre-existing conditions, and being able to stay on their parents insurance.

You know what they hate? Obamacare.

And to add to that, they shame people into thinking they’re on some sort of moral high ground, and if you disagree with them, you’re a bad person.

Maybe they should recognize their privilege to play political games with people’s lives and try to actually make some real impactful change instead of yelling stupid ass slogans

You right. What Republicans have done effectively is pander to their base's fears with grandiose rollouts. Trump was the perfect mouthpiece. I feel like most progressive ideas are things people are ok with but have been provided with misinformation from politicians that are being lobbyied by corporations.

Yeah I guess we don't know. Would be interesting to see someone who's socially more conservative but has progressive policies run in one of these areas

I hope Pete runs again in 2024 if Biden doesn’t run for re-election. I’m sure he’s going to be in his cabinet

Pete a solid candidate. But America not ready for a gay president at all. Can't imagine the outcome

This is the problem with America’s youth, they want a nice guy to promise them a bunch of s*** that will never happen to be president

Honestly, I don’t care if the president is the biggest a****** known to man

If they gets s*** done, they have my vote

And no KTTrumpers, Trump was not just an a******, he was also a horrible president
