(41,987 posts)Roll back the debt. One, roll back debt for 95% of students. Two, free tuition and fees and put more money into Pell Grants and into historically black colleges.
Pay for it with 2 cents on every dollar on all wealth over 50 million.

(348 posts)Not only is she brilliantly versed and expansive on policy, but she's obviously learning the art of national politicking. I'm glad she's running.

(41,987 posts)They run two businesses, the platform and data mining. Getting in front of markets and knocking out competition.
Harming startups by getting out in front through data mining. Break off platform from competition.

(12,165 posts)with Amazon.
But her answer about pulling the rug out from under independent sellers was a good one, too.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
nolabear
(41,987 posts)She supports the legalization. Makes no sense to treat it as schedule I drug. And the racial impact. African Americans targeted for arrest.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)But her statements that they are preventing competition is true. It's probably better for the country's retail business if it's broken up somewhat. Google, too. I think Apple is different.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
Politicub
(12,165 posts)Full stop. And now she's explaining why the penalties for marijuana use disproportionately affect African Americans.

(41,987 posts)The criminal justice system is broken, and at the heart of it is race.
She seems very dedicated to racial issues. Interesting.

(7,277 posts)So even if they dont steal it, the GOP candidate is running with the belief/confidence they will win. Romney was certain 2012 was in the bag.

(12,165 posts)People, read the Mueller Report if you haven't done so. It takes a while, but the time is worth it. It left me shook. And I'm thrilled to see Warren talking impeachment.

(1,020 posts)Warren is my second pick. If she keeps giving great policy ideas she might move up in my book.
I think Warren is great and will make an excellent president if elected.

(24,149 posts)So I don't think "what he might say" should be a disqualifier.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
nolabear
(41,987 posts)She believes people are more concerned with their families than name calling.
Im not entirely sure I agree with that where the base is concerned. But theres that big middle ground.
I dont guess theres much to say about being smeared. Talk about the vision.
