| DarthMetalliCube said: Man, I really want to like Cortez (cute as hell for one heh) and seems to have some of those Bernie oldschool Democrat, anti-neolib ideals, but a few of her proposals are just asinine: - Abolish ICE - you need SOME sort of immigration enforcement at least or you really cease to have a nation, and you basically open the doors for insatability and an extremely shaky job market and economy to follow - Mandated jobs for ALL by the government - Sounds nice in theory but I just don't see how it's feasable with the massive population of the US. - Eliminate the electoral college - In such a massive country like the US in terms of both land mass and population, this would be a restrictive, backwards, and unjust system. You need fair representation of all 50 states, otherwise you essentially have the highly populated NY and LA dictating every election in the US from here on out, with the power of those in middle America entirely diminished to irrelevancy. If she ditched those positions and just focused more on the working class, universal health care, her green policies, anti-war stances, etc, I think she'd have a real shot (at least in 2024 when she's actually able to run), she'd certainly have my support. |
I totally agree, some of her policies have faults, but so does every candidate really. I'd love to support her in 2024. Part of me worries however she is too progressive for our nation so soon. I would love to be wrong, and would get behind a presidential run for her. For 2020 however I can very well see Warren/Harris/Sanders/Biden as the top contenders. With possibly any mix of those being running mates.
