Forums - Politics Discussion - Who Should Run For President on the Democratic Side?

Bernie Sanders raising $10 millions in one week just shows why he is my #1 pick for president, hopefully if he gets the nomination Tulsi Gabbard will be his VP.

This video is good example of why.

The video is too good to be relegated to only a link. It needs to be embedded:

It's a real shame this video doesn't have millions of views, more people need to see this.

1. That list is very misleading. People are just upset that Trump is still president. I mean Americans, have higher expectations than most countries and want more. Look how feminists here in the United States protest and complain, yet this country gives them a lot more opportunities than any other country in the world. This is what happens when you are spoiled, you feel more entitled. Kind of like a little kid. In fact, I am willing to bet most of the people who are complaining in the United States that this Country is terrible or are unhappy here will starve to death if they lived in pretty much any other Country.

2. Again, Denmark is a free market regarding business. You would know that if you really are an entrepreneur. That's why the United States is always ahead of the other countries when it comes to innovation and business in general. Public sector welfare queens... I mean "employees" are being downsized right now which is great. Means more money in my pocket to invest in my side businesses and I might invest in some other startups. The employees will get a job in private sector and actually be productive. Which will create jobs and new products.

3. Education and Pensions is easily obtainable in America with a little hard work. I don't feel sorry for anyone who can't get an education or pension in America. We are the richest country in the world with the most opportunity by far. Health care is a problem, due to government control and raising prices artificially. Also, I noticed you didn't mention Military spending. I hope to god we drop support for Nordic countries until they pull their own weight which Trump hinted at multiple times.  Then we will see where your tax money really goes into. 

1. Has it ever crossed your mind that people may be "upset" with Trump for a reason?
I don't know what your definition of a "feminist" is but speaking of equal rights and opportunities, Denmark has the most equal income distribution in the World, the highest minimum wage in the World, and it's the least corrupt country in the World (lesser chance for wealthy lobbyists to bribe politicians and public authorities).
You say that many privileged Americans would starve to death in any other country than the US. Maybe it'd be healthy for the wealthiest Americans to learn how to share their fortunes considering that up to 10% of Americans aged 18-25 have been homeless over the past year.

2. Thank you! Please help explain Fox News that the Scandinavian/Nordic Model isn't socialism or communism. Denmark is a social democracy underpinned by a free market capitalist economic system.
Yup, the US is far ahead of other countries. Its national debt has now crossed $22 trillion.

3. "Education and Pensions is easily obtainable in America with a little hard work." Is that why 83% of Americans say they can't afford college?
Regarding the military, it'd be great if the US would ease a little on the bombings of all their "enemies". One would almost believe that they intended to cripple Europe and the countries of the refugees.

Unfortunately no matter what you say to these people they are brainwashed from the news media who spew propaganda bullshit for the oligarchs who really run the USA.

1. Don't worry it isn't sustainable for long. What you have going is only working in the short run. Which is why again a lot of the Nordic countries are leaning more right regarding politics lately. Also, if you are homeless it is usually due to mental issues rather than finance issues. America is one of the few countries where you don't have to work and still have a roof over your head, food, a tv, etc.

2.  Not all debt is bad as long as it makes you money and you can pay the interest. Which we can very easily. I have to find the article, but the profits from a few big tech companies alone can pay the interest on the debt. Another example is Donald Trump has a lot of debt in real estate but makes millions from it every year. Anyhow you better hope that America doesn't collapse because if it does you will be speaking Russian in no time. Also, I don't really listen to mainstream media, but independent media like Daily Wire for conservative views and TYT for liberal views. Then, I make my judgment.

3. I don't buy the 83% can't afford college argument. Anyone can get a loan to go to college and if they get a degree that is worth anything they should be able to pay it off in a few years. Also, there is more to education than just college. I had a friend recently who is making 75k a year after graduating from a coding boot camp and worked a year as a freelancer. There is also a lot of trades out there from construction, real estate, technology, etc. College is definitely not the end all be all.

 



All empires fall victims of their own power sense... USA is too much around itself... is normal because they have been the number one in the world role model... but that is changing...


USA nowdays only see feminsm and PC as the major problem in the world...russian manipulated fools ...

Care to explain on how Russia manipulates them?

They should work on a better diplomatic connection with China and Russia.

Man, I see from the outside.
Americans suddenly around 2015 started to care more about the dangers of feminism than they care nowdays about russian interference in American elections...
For example...
If we did a poll here about all serious topics that have come up since then... russian interference, political correcteness, donald trump lies or not, feminism... etc...
Im sure feminism would be the stuff most Americans would care about...
Quoting someone: Very very sad...

Whats wrong about quoting someone?

This is also no answer to my question,can you explain me how Russia is manipulating America ?



I said there was something wrong? There is nothing wrong in quoting.. but in my case I was being sarcastic ...

Man, I am at the Congress at a hearing? I need to bring proof here before a panel?  (EDIT: even nowdays from what I see if I was before your congress I could lie and say whatever)

Is just an opinion man..

I can see the news and the convictions and what people talk about online... heated up questions online about feminism and pc everywhere etc... lol

Im not American (Portuguese) but I see stuff happening... If you want proof just watch convictions and congress hearings lol, common sense information available to all of you.

This is just my opinion but of all of this what I can say is this:

Americans just need to stop worrying about girl power and stop being so politically correct about and Donald Trump, Russia interference and capitalization on your racism and fear of women and admit that Russia had and still has America by the balls.
 And you better start admiting the reality of that failure before you implode.

No collusion!

lol

Yeah, that seems to be the case sometimes unfortunately. Naturally, the American people should be the ones shaping their own future without any interference from any other country, and I won't pretend that I know what's best for the US. The Scandinavian model may not be suitable (at least not without adjustments) but as a Dane I always struggle to see why some people hate the idea of creating better conditions for their fellow countrymen.

1. People like you have been saying that since its inception 100 years ago. Our public AND private sectors are as strong as ever.

2. The US national debt is increasing $1 trillion a year since 2007. Interest is increasing rapidly and is likely to surpass military spending in 2023. At some point, the US has to address its debt. Being able to pay a rising interest won't be sustainable forever.
Regarding bold, I'm certainly not hoping for the US to collapse. Please don't confuse this as some kind of aversion to the US. Initially, I was just commenting on your "Danes don't like paying high taxes," remember? I've enjoyed my travels in the US, and the Americans I've met when traveling in Australia and Asia have been the best.

3. Many Americans do indeed get student loans but even though 85% work paid jobs while enrolled, many struggle to ever being able to repay.
