No way would I ever cast any vote for her. I do however love that she is challenging the establishment Democrat party and calling them out on their lies.
She has an exe to grind and we need to encourage her.

Rare is the woman over about 35 that you can't say that about.

Gonna repeat this again: THEY'VE GAINED DISILLUSIONED REPUBLICAN AND INDEPENDENT SUPPORT FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE CAMPAIGNS i.e. THE FORMULA TO WIN THE RUST BELT WHERE HILLARY LOST you think Warren stands a chance in that region? Biden doesn't even know where he is half the time? Medicare-for-All Sanders and Harris? Forget about it. As a fellow Tea Partier (I class myself as a Small Government Originalist), I know we're right when it comes to all policies but I'm telling you they possess the support of people in the relevant region that Trump needs to win re-election, can't overlook that so easily.
Trump promised them jobs.
Pennsylvania:
Ohio:
Michigan:
Wisconsin:
Illinois:
Indiana:
Iowa:
West Virginia:
Trump delivered his promise on jobs. If the USMCA is ever passed here and in Canada and/or if the China deal is signed, those numbers go even lower (and median wage goes up even more).
It's damned hard to run against the best economy we've seen in generations.

They are in the low single digits, a percentage of a lot smaller number of people (democrat primary voters) than the whole voting population.
Think it's been well-established for years the DNC and CNN has a ton to do with that

I don't dispute any of that but I'M TELLING YOU
Brookings Institution
Glenn Altschuler, Cornell Professor of American Studies
Our society needs to address automation at some point in a serious manner and Yang's the only major political candidate addressing it now, I don't support a government handout like this or handouts in general but I logically assume his argument and platform resonates in those areas due its overwhelming relevance. Can't be overstated in the context of a presidential election.

As employers adapted to survive, their strategies to cut costs, enhance productivity, and shift risk heightened the instability of many Americans’ employment arrangements. They also set the stage for more disruption in the years ahead—change that will continue to hit Midwestern workers and communities particularly hard.
First, improvements in process automation, robotics, and machine learning are destabilizing employment. The McKinsey Global Institute projects that as many as one-third of U.S. workers may need to change occupations and acquire new skills by 2030, as robotics and artificial intelligence eliminate routine and repetitive jobs and create new jobs that require more and different skills.
The Midwest is at the epicenter of these shifts. Auto manufacturing uses half of all industrial robots in this country. Robots on the shop floor are concentrated in about 10 Midwestern and Southern states, led by Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
quote:
Second, low educational attainment among the region’s industrial workforce could exacerbate employment dislocation due to automation and digitalization. A comparatively high proportion of Rust Belt working-age adults have only a high school diploma. Such workers may face greater difficulty making the transition to new kinds of occupations that demand higher-order cognitive skills.
Brookings Institution
quote:
Unskilled workers are bearing the brunt of automation. According to a 2016 study, 83 percent of workers in occupations paying less than $20 an hour are at high risk for being displaced; 4 percent of those getting more than $40 an hour are in danger. Since the Great Recession, the number of robots in American factories has increased by 50 percent, most of them in the Rustbelt. Retail sales clerks are disappearing everywhere. Driverless cars may well replace truck, bus, and taxi drivers. In Men Without Work, Nicholas Eberstadt estimates that by 2050 as many as 24 percent of men between 25 and 45, most of them without college degrees, may be unable to find a job.
Americans, it seems clear, want politicians to do something about automation. A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2017 found that, although respondents were divided on whether government should take responsibility for assisting workers displaced by automation, 85 percent of Democrats and 86 percent of Republicans (including 7 in 10 with a high school diploma or less) indicated that automation should be limited to dangerous or unhealthy tasks, even if machines were less expensive and more efficient.
To date, however, only Andrew Yang, a former tech entrepreneur, has made automation the centerpiece of his presidential campaign. After painting a doomsday scenario of workers replaced by robots and AI software succumbing to drug use, suicide, political unrest, and violence, Yang maintains that President Trump’s approach — bringing back coal mining jobs and protectionist tariffs — is not the answer. Instead, he proposes a guaranteed national income of $1,000 a month for every American over 18 (comparable to the oil dividend received by every adult in Alaska), funded by a value-added tax on corporations.

I've noticed many here and in Facebook and Twitter expressing appreciation of her scathing take down if Clinton and painting her as some sort of moderate voice in the wilderness.
It's a ruse to disguise her actual positions and support for far left extremists and socialism. The point of this thread was to discuss this matter. If you want to discuss automation, job losses due to robotics and the general lack of emphasis on higher Ed (and the extreme costs of obtaining it these days), please start another thread.

Oh I definitely won't vote for her at all too much dissonance in our political views but I find it refreshing she brings some different things to the table for the opposing political party and doesn't subscribe to neocon nonsense unlike the establishment types who constitute the DNC-anointed frontrunners, she gets the disaffected and disillusioned excited and passionately involved like Bernie did back in 2016 which scares TF outta me

Just because I would never vote for her for President doesn't mean that I can't apprecite the very useful purpose she is serving right now.

Her face has more craters than the lunar surface.

In spite of all of this, she is still the most level headed candidate that the democrats have. Really tells you something.
Posted on 10/21/19 at 1:17 pm to HubbaBubba
If she runs as a 3rd party candidate, she can play the wolf in sheeps clothing role all she wants, as long as she causes the Democrat Party to implode.
Posted on 10/21/19 at 1:45 pm to HubbaBubba
Not sure why you'd bother linking her to Antifa when she's not publicly supported them. A picture taken before the group existed doesn't exactly lend credit to that claim.

Tulsi is a shiny object she is pure prog, she is from Hawaii. Why HRC wanted to take her out when Tulsi was barely allowed to the second debate is beyond me.....other then maybe HRC wants to ensure Tulsi doesn't dare win..
