Autumn's JournalI don't think that the claim that no one is principled enough to understand or
understand or address issues like these is false, in truth it's quite the opposite . The article is pointing out the far-right ideologues of Fox News and AM talk radio, the Republican party, conservatives, neocons the Tea Party, and white Protestant fundamentalism . None of those groups have any principles and have worked hard using propaganda making sure that those issues don't get addressed.
Did you read the whole article? I don't see the article as being subversive either. I see a lot of truth.
How horrible that 118 other Democrats joined Bernie in his racism on voting yes on that bill.
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1997/roll497.xml#NPelosi, Sheila Jackson Lee, who was a co sponsor of the bill, Jim Clyburn, Maxine Waters also voted yes on that bill. Do they get a pass?
And to think I supported Pelosi for speaker of the house! Thank you for pointing out their racism.
Since you're asking that poster has "lurked" here longer than you.

Thirty-one percent of voters aged 18 to 29 cast ballots in the 2018 midterm elections, shattering turnout rates from the past quarter century, according to an estimate by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University. This year's turnout was at least 10 percent higher than for the 2014 midterms, according to the center's estimates.

These are the ones that have announced and the ones who may run. So far my top
2 have not announced so I'll go with Warren for now.

Curious to know how many members of this group still post here? Not a poll, just a check in

ELIZABETH WARREN PROPOSES ANNUAL WEALTH TAX ON ULTRA-MILLIONAIRES
SEN. ELIZABETH WARRENS presidential campaign has rolled out a proposal for an annual tax on wealth, becoming the first major Democratic candidate to follow a recommendation outlined in Thomas Pikettys blockbuster book Capital in the Twenty-First Century.
The proposal, according to two University of California, Berkeley, economists who are leading experts on wealth and inequality, would shrink the wealth of the superrich by $2.75 trillion over a 10-year period, while only affecting around 75,000 U.S. households.
A paper distributed by Warrens campaign announcing the proposal notes that the United States contains an extreme concentration of wealth not seen in any other leading economy. As UC Berkeleys Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman have demonstrated, the top 0.1 percent has had their wealth share nearly triple between the late 1970s and 2016.
Warren actually endorsed the concept of a wealth tax five years ago, in an interview with Piketty and The Intercepts Ryan Grim. Asked how a bill to tax wealth would sound after Piketty described it, Warren said, Oh, Im in, Im in, Im in in on the notion that we have to rewrite our tax code. She added that the tax code has to reflect the importance of work and people who achieve and people who accomplish, over being born into wealth.

Pure deflection. You can't refute my opinion that the media reports what gives them ratings
and doesn't investigate the facts so you go with "you're just like Trump". By the way, the media going with their talking points instead of facts and investigations has been documented here time after time.
I knew as AG she supported asset forfeiture before being charged with a crime
and that was a big issue as far as I was concerned but was not aware of her stand on these other issues. Thanks for the information.
