I'm pretty sure the progressives hate private ownership of cars....you know, climate change and fossil fuels and all that.....

 

Free college is such a rabbit hole.  Do you include room & board?  The taxpayer covers you for 6 years at Columbia for an Art History degree?

Flip that on its head, and it's equally problematic.

Since the government coffers would be where the tuition money is coming from, what prevents some bureaucratic infrastructure from telling me I'm not allowed to get my Bachelor of Science in Basket Weaving from Random State University?

How far does that go?  Would I not be allowed to get my Masters in Rabbinic Studies from AJU?

The Bern now outright calling for nationalization of the energy sector.

The insanity is immeasurable.

The reason you care is because 24 hour Fox News basically told you to care. Prior to the 24 hour news cycle - for decades - SF was a corny place. There is nothing new about that except Fox baits guys like you for ratings by resetting the theme practically daily, getting you all fired up at a phenomenon that’s been there forever.  Why don’t you practice your rugged individualism and live and let live. 

You really get hung up on Fox News – phobia-like.  You can never discuss the issue, it is always just about the messenger.  Sad.

Journos are FREAKING that a group of Trump apologists went back and found idiotic tweets or other public comments that will make them look bad. Funny they think nothing of it when they do it to other people. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The only thing that would start a civil war faster than trying to repeal the 2nd amendment is trying to ban meat.  Honestly, I think it would bring our country together. 

You got to wonder how many men choked down a tofu burger to get these women to accept a sampling of their meat.

Coming from someone obsessed with "fake news", CNN, NY Times, etc, this is funny.  I picked Fox News since they coined the term "San Francisco Values".  They seem to lead the charge when it comes to reinforcing the image of SF as this trainwreck in progress.  You then often shortly follow with a link on here.  

So substitute Breitbart or one of the other right wing news sources you consume.  

My original question was why you care so much about SF?  It's a weird place.  But it has been that way for decades.  And in those decades, the SF crazies have not managed to take over the rest of the US.  So why is there all of a sudden the crazy paranoia that the lunacy in SF is going to spread and take the rest of us down?  My guess is the only reason you're concerned is because one or more of your thought sources keeps talking about it, so therefore you care.

I know Trump and his people denied having anything to do with that group, but that's pretty awful.

Now I'm not defending what some of these idiots tweet - fair game - but going after family and friends doesn't exactly scream "freedom".

I agree, I didn't see they would bring other people in, and don't think that should be fair game.

I doubt anyone on this board will be affected.  Typical class warfare.  The Dems love to attack the rich, but no one really talks about globalization being what actually is taking wealth from the poor and middle class.

This won't go anywhere because it's wasteful and unnecessary - we already have a "wealth tax", more commonly known as the estate tax.  Address some of the loopholes and tax shelters (like trusts) and be done.

You look at what these idiots want to spend and it doesn't matter - they're going to destroy whatever wealth people have, which will then make MORE socialism necessary.

Per NASA, a significant chunk of it is indigenous, non-export farmers who use fire on their farms.

Which is it ladies?  You good to save the rainforests from an average year of fires (despite the increased news coverage), or you too afraid that your woke cred will be damaged by supporting the American influence compelling foreign, rural, indigenous people to stop their way of life?

Let's be honest. Who actually thought Trump was big on freedom?  I get that he's no worse, policy-wise, than any one of the Democratic challengers for 2020, but come on.

Hahaha CNN is having a 7 hour long climate change show where each candidate gets to talk for 40 minutes. No debate.

A 7 hour show?  That's going to have quite the carbon footprint.

I'd be curious to know if any of them actually understands much about it.  The alarmists have truly become the anti-science crowd.  Anything wrong in the world just gets blamed on climate change.  It does make me smile, though, to see the parents raking it in off their little pig-faced autistic fascist.

Apparently yesterday in an interview, Bernie said China has done more than any other nation to address "extreme" poverty.   I suppose he has a point.  Genocide and placing Muslims in concentration camps is one way to eliminate poverty.

Just another day in Woke 2019, but it's hilarious how much of the media and twitter jumped on climate change causing the Amazon fires. And then you have Macron saying the Amazon gives us 20% of the World's oxygen (wrong) and people gobble it up. I'm extremely jealous of the people who are making money hand over fist from the climate hysteria.

And it has nothing to do with communism....rather, it's because of China opening its markets.  Doubt Bernie understands he just gave a fist bump to capitalism.

Yeah, Nate Silver definitely has the mind virus.

Nonetheless if I were Gillibrand or someone I'd be annoyed with the various random white dudes who entered the race late w/ no real rationale for their campaign. Made it more of a clownshow; understandable that voters would just wanna focus on the top 4-6 candidates in that case.

That and sheer population.

If you want to pin it to ratios, I believe India has a strong case.  Guess which way their economy has gone.
