This race has been close from the start, I hope Osborn can pull it off

He’s right, but he could also be doing more to pressure Israel to de-escalate

I think she’s also pointing to the fact that he doesn’t have a real base of his own. In 2020 ppl rallied around him for the stable leadership and to reject Trump.

W/o those factors, I’m not sure he would’ve made it out of the primary. This is the guy after all who ran four separate times for POTUS

None of that is an analysis of any policy proposals, just hypotheticals about what YOU *think* a jobs guarantee would look like.

Honestly just change your online persona to “Ayn Rand stan” cause John Brown was far too-radical for you
August 8, 2024 at 3:29 PM
That’s your opinion. But I’ve yet to see any evidence from you about why it’s “bad policy”
August 8, 2024 at 3:19 PM
Yeah, a jobs guarantee is such a “bad policy” that it polls above 50% with Independents and garners around 40% of support from Republicans.

No regular person enjoys the uncertainty that comes with unemployment.
Americans Across the Political Divide Want a Federal Job Guarantee
A look at all the available survey data on public support for a job guarantee shows consistently strong support for the idea. It’s a winning idea for the Left.

While this is true for many issues, the Party still has a long way to go.

Harris has already stopped supporting a federal jobs guarantee, single payer healthcare, and a ban on fracking.

I understand the fracking issue, I do not understand why she would back off of the other two positions.

Wait, in the UK you can be arrested, charged, and convicted within the span of one week? That’s insane to me.

The U.S. criminal justice system works at a miserably slow pace. You could be out on bond for months before your trial date. Or sit in jail with unjust charges if you can’t afford bond.

Tim Walz is an old-school populist Democrat. A rare sight in today’s Democratic Party.

His support for public education, minimum wage increase, and healthcare reform are broadly supported by the working class.

Now THIS is a winning ticket
