2020 Democratic presidential primary

Aimless my view of growth is that damage to the environment is obviously a negative and that right now, despite cool gdp numbers we are in recession as long as we don’t solve the problem.

Also consumption is broadly defined in growth models and does include education and health care and other stuff of the kind.

(Re “I can assure you I have free health care, near free education (payed my debt within a year), money thanks to funding of arts and all my electricity consumption is sustainable”)

i need a living fucking wage and a health plan that doesnt bankrupt me

asking a lot, i know

we need to get VHS on the case next time someone claims their company has sold enough pancakes to stretch to the moon and back or whatever.... "i see no attempt to even wrestle with the coriolis forces, to say nothing of solar wind and the rapid decomposition of the pancakes beyond earth's protective ionosphere"

We took the @gabriel_zucman chart showing how tax rates would differ under the Warren, Sanders, Trump and Biden tax plans and asked voters which they would prefer. They overwhelmingly preferred the @BernieSanders and @ewarren tax plans. https://t.co/vF7pDOgdPH pic.twitter.com/HBHz3Vonj5

lol nobody likes joe biden's plan

does include education and health care and other stuff of the kind.

...including prisons, repairing vandalism, and cleaning up oil spills. Consumption can be low impact or high impact, as useless as hundreds of millions spent on pet toys or as vital as education and clean water infrastructure, but no matter how beneficial or benign you think it may be, it all consumes energy and resources and aggregate consumption cannot grow forever.

I’m sure you know him but Nordhaus argues it better than I will that there is a path for sustained economic growth and environmental restoration and stability.

So although it's not fair, the task falls to the only three true anti-establishment candidates on the stage. Bernie, Yang, and Tulsi. Now we all know Tulsi for sure has the stomach to do it. I don't know if I have ever met a woman as tough as Tulsi Gabbard. She's also previewed a potential attack on Warren's fitness to be commander in chief with us here at Rising.

did a person who speaks English and has a cerebellum write these sentences lol

nordhaus? groverhaus morelike

haha screw a coherent ideology, I'm voting for whoever 4chan tells me to vote for

krystal ball is a great name

I don't think that piece was "written" at all - it reads like a transcript of a YouTube video.

i can't fucking believe they're putting 12 ppl on that stage tonight

Relax, they're gonna be inside the Reagan version of Air Force One.

at last, a clown car full of democrats

gonna watch a real horror movie instead

Krystal Ball used to host a show with Buck Sexton, which is the porniest thing I've ever heard of that wasn't actual porn.

lolz

fuck off, Mayor Pete

Buttigieg puts money behind digital ad knocking 'Medicare for All' Democrats by name

LOL people applauding at Steyer's stupid introduction when he paused for applause

Bernie is sounding revitalized, a lot less gravelly

Clean pipes

I hate how Warren refuses to answer this question simply

Liz vs. Pete is tickling me

This is the first time she's been challenged at all, and it needs to happen. She's waffling.

They're all piling on now, damn

warren needs a better answer on this. when you're getting burned by klobuchar it is not going well.

The answer is easy, own the fact that taxes go up but you pay less over all, simple explanation

she needs to be like bernie and just acknowledge that taxes would go up. deflecting to "overall costs" may be technically true (depending on a definition of "costs" that not every viewer will share) but it is never a good look to obviously avoid the elephant in the room, over and over.

xp to moodles
exactly. that won't end the argument about it, but at least it would addressing it straightforwardly

yup

oh great now Harris can switch subjects

Bernie addressing it much better with righteous anger

Worthwhile, but how ya gonna pay for it too?

They can't even pass any of this, so really who cares?

which I think Klobuchar was speaking to

Amy's stepping up her game! Get ready for Klobuchamentum!

kLOLOLOLOLbuchar

Tulsi is a weirdo, no one knows what she's on about
