Unleashing Democracy.
Medicare for all including humane mental healthcare, decriminalization of drugs, and creation of humane rehabilitation sites. Decent housing for all, quality education for all, free college tuition for all, and jobs with living wages for all. Abolishing poverty and houselessness.
Biden and Marx all in one package. He needs to define 'all', though. Like, if a Muslim criminal arrived in Texas today. Could get complicated. Golly, each promise looks complicated, given the obvious dumb-down of colleges. Didn't mention Border Crisis, but hey, what can be said?

You don't want any of these things.

@suzianne saidVery observant. Sarcasm indeed. Do you want these things? And, will that be enough? He does not mention opening all empty bedrooms to the homeless. Y'all will apparently ease into that when he is elected?

@averagejoe1 saidWe were always able to do that. Just stop spending so much on the military.

@metal-brain saidWell, one thing wrong is that if everything is basically free, no one will have to do much, jus throw frisbee.

But,, MB, who is going to produce, to make stuff that they give away free?

@averagejoe1 saidGenerally they mean free at the point of delivery.

So. Paid by taxes. Which means stop buying weapons and armies and invest that money into healthier things.
Not really rocket science.
@shavixmir saidA society such as that would give rise to losers, dependents. So, their instinct to produce would dwindle. Tell me it wouldn't. We would get to the 49% supporting the other 51%.

Free at point of delivery? When else would it be free? We agree, free when they get their parasitic hands on it. Then, have to fight off scavengers, since there is no military.
You guys are a hoot. Not so much that you want free stuff, off of other people (Suzianne calls it 'the backs of others", but the fact that you don't think past your noses!!! What group do you think will start taking advantage of free soup and housing?
Doctors!!?!?!? What about teachers, who are underpaid anyway. Why work?
But see my point. WHAT would be free if no one was making it anymore, ....why work?

@averagejoe1 saidThat theory was proven false when Andrew Yang ran for POTUS.

The Universal Basic Income was proven to not reduce work by very much by republicans. You are embracing a myth for self serving purposes.

@metal-brain saidWell hell, then. So every possible convenience and luxury (for lack of any other words) will remain available to us all, except that it will be basically free to everyone?

What would be excepted? Cruise ships? Would there still be cruise ships in operation considering the demand would be off a bit? I’m not so sure about UBI, I can see a lot of people living fine on that money and maybe doing a little busking music on the street.
@averagejoe1 saidAlaska had an oil revenue to the public so that is like a UBI as well. People in Alaska still worked their jobs.

@earl-of-trumps saidSo, do we get this UBI money by limiting military expenditures, even in the light of China invading Taiwan and all else that is giong on? Can we still use money to clear out student loans if we are using it to give to other losers? Or will students get their loans paid off AND get UBI? What will the forum be like if Trump is president?
The little-d Democrat Dream, Cornell West, likely won't get elected, but he'll rip a lot of votes off of Biden.
A Republican may win this after all.

2016 isn't likely to happen again.

@AverageJoe1 and what about certain people who get over $5000 a month in Social Security money. Does that continue or is everyone in the same boat now?
