By competition, obviously, you mean a corporation moving to the next country we haven't levied tariffs against.

And not just propping up consumers, but in turn propping up failing U.S. industries due to our own choices.

And do this haphazardly as well, because a minority of the population voluntarily elected a person who has no idea how to work with others.

That already happened. That's why it is what it is. It's more about changes in national income distribution since 1980 or so wrought by automation & offshoring. We let the ownership class, the financial elite, have more & more of it on a progressive basis. We failed to compensate ourselves the only way possible, via taxes. The bottom half gets a third smaller share. the next quarter gets a fifth less. The top 1% gets twice as much, most of that concentrated astronomically in the top .1% & above. The top 400 earners pay a lower total tax rate than the rest of America.

It's amazing how fervently conservatives defend greed at the top. It's not like the fabulously Rich won't be fabulously rich paying much, much higher tax rates.

It’s not that, I don’t think she has nightly chats with Putin.
I do think Russia puts a lot of effort into profiling candidates and Politicians to figure out who would be most disruptive or whom would support their interests best.
Russia then goes about supporting them in various social media’s.

So Tulsi should shelve her convictions because of social media?

The question is does Tulsi want to be the spoiler for the election?
Run 3rd party and literally have zero chance of winning but a sizable chance of taking enough votes in a battleground states to enable a 2nd Trump term or be grateful and bow out to support the nominee?
Same question for the Bernie Bros. Do you want to make some “point” that nobody cares about or are you going to get in line and vote D no matter who is the candidate.

And yes if it becomes known that Russia is propping up any campaign they candidate should withdraw.
Tricky thing to say because propping someone up to then admittedling you are propping them up is different than propping them up and denying you are propping them up.

what posters like jmagg and many other conservatives are neglecting to accept is that Putin wants us to be weaker, along with the EU. We used to be a country that led, as we become a country that follows, despot's like Putin will continue to fuck with whatever they want. And Trump enablers will continue to ignore what is.

It seems to me that Tulsi would draw as many votes from moderate Repubs as Democrats. As I've repeated many times, Dems should focus on their best candidate and pound concise, fair policy directives into the heads of average working Americans.

What about Americans makes you think they care about policy? After all Trump ran on basically no policy at all and has governed similarly.

Lol he did exactly the opposite, he offered no details about anything he just said it would all be great. Are we even living on the same planet?

Remember how he said we would all have great health care and would win everything while paying off the entire national debt? Hahaha.

Seriously, are we even on the same planet.

Shrug. We'll see if another smear campaign does the trick.

If you're looking for a smear campaign, I suggest that you look to your own claims in this thread. Dem candidates generally provide pages and pages of policy specifics that they campaign on. FFS go look at Warren's site, it's policy specifics overload. Exactly what you are falsely claiming they don't do.

As for Tulsi and the Trump agenda to split the Dem vote with a 'spoiler' candidate, you're going to have find someone else to do that. Tulsi is only popular with Republicans.

Remember when the President had 5 different opinions on abortion over the course of one week?
Went from Sunday - If abortion is illegal than the Dr and the Mom need to be jailed, maybe the Dr assistants too
To mid week, well maybe a fine for the Dr and we will let the Mom go, case by case
To end of the week.....abortion is a settled policy. I don't like it but its been settled.
