1.) On the contrary, I think that a lot of these millennial progressive types don't even think about and possibly don't really even understand how our government, legislative process and Senate rules work.
2.) IF as you can see, is a huge word. And what you're suggesting the possibility of is almost certain not to happen, given the makeup of the US voting population and the number of seats in play. Even if the Dems won the WH with a simple majority in the Senate, the Repugs would still have the filibuster at their disposal which, as they proved under Obama, they are more than willing to use on any and every issue. It takes a 60 to 40 seat advantage by one party over the other to defeat a filibuster and force a vote.
It is therefore, that Warren's "ideas" are pipe dreams at best, cynical gimmicks designed to dupe the voters at worst.
3.) Translation: Biden is a REALIST WHO UNDERSTANDS THE WAY THE REAL WORLD WORKS just like Obama.
Biden's honesty should be appreciated, not punished.
C'MON MAN!!!!
the name of the game folks isn't class warfare -it's international competition.
If we create more wealth in the US it helps us all - we don't have to fight over the same pie -make the pie bigger.
Going after China for ex. means we gett good jobs back, ( which are happening) and we bleed out less in trade
Hello Nomad,
True of more than millennials.
Nobody said it would be easy. If R's block meaningful progress then they have to answer for that in the next election. It's a process. The sooner it is begun, the sooner it can be reality.
Not at all. They could become reality. The only thing that is certain is it won't happen if we don't push for it.
I would vote for Biden over Trump. But he is not my first choice.

Same old trickle down bullshit has been proven not to work for anyone but those who the trickle is supposed to come down from but never does. All the created wealth stays in the hands of those at the top and the trickle just seems to evaporate on the way down.
Go try to peddle your snake oil somewhere else.

1) Nonsense. They never have before because that's what their rabid base expects of them and why they continue to vote them back into office. If they supported Warren's agenda by casting a Senate vote for it, THAT is what they'd have to answer for in the next election.
2) Get real, friend.
Not.
Gonna.
Happen.
Not outside of progressives' pipe dreams, anyway.

no it doesn't. Created wealth come thru increased opportunities - like good jobs and education.
Likke this economy. The wealthy are doing great, but SO IS THE MIDDLE CLASS with significant wage growth
and high paying career jobs.
The wealthy invest in plants, or financial services -whatever, and that how you get jobs.
Of course there are middle class entrepenuers as well; and you support them with tax breaks/infrastructure
Children are required to attend school up to age 16 or so. College is a choice. And state-funded colleges are just one of the choices. You have a much smaller percentage of kids going to college and the numbers are spread out between public and private. I think if the numbers were crunched, it wouldn't be as much of a tax hit as people think.
