Fuck, Warren. Getting harder and harder to support her. I mean, she has a long, long, long way to go before she's not obviously way better than Trump.
Explain.

lol you've been an ornery little shit recently.
I don't know. Part of the problem with the "Gabes" is that they might not even realize their situation. And even if they have the self awareness, there's always the possibility that the backfire effect will make them resist the message even more.I had to watch this in two parts just due to the press of other matters. Just finished it.
What do you suppose the odds are that any "gabes" in here will watch even 10 minutes of it? Don't take that the wrong way, mind; I'm not criticizing it for its length or you for posting it--rather I am curious about whether any of them would even try watching a little bit of it, and if so, what the odds are it would do any good.
I'm not naming names to avoid inaccurate labeling but I truly wonder if any of them have the guts to give it an honest go and tell us about it.

Can you clarify? Combat what, exactly?
Explain.
I didn't read the linked document, but I don't agree Trudeau has kowtowed to SA. He honored an arms sale that was agreed to by the previous Conservative government. That isn't the same thing as entering into such an agreement. I think that's most likely because the last time a PM cancelled such an agreement made by the previous government it resulted a huge financial payout for breach of contract and in political backlash.So, the left-wing criticisms of Trudeau are, in part, that he's bad for organized labor (in Canada and abroad with ideological commitment to free trade), his foreign policy is exploitative and hypocritical (kowtowing to Saudi Arabia and Israel; selling weapons), and, perhaps most frequently, his hostility to environmentalism.
LOLI just think left leaning people have more anxiety in general.
Not to mention, I think it was Jack himself who pointed out that segregation in schools along economic lines leads to worse outcomes for low income people. I would like to see some evidence that Warren's measures are ineffective in addressing that issue.Yeah, in all seriousness, @Jack V Savage, I don't understand your issue with her position. For-profit schools, including for-profit charter schools, should be banned. Full stop. Existing charter schools should be (at least) equally transparent to public schools. And, panning out, the movement to privatize public education needs to be aggressively stopped.
None of those positions are incompatible with allowing charter schools as mechanisms for expanded access and innovation.

I wouldn't say the video characterizes it as organized and neither do I. It doesn't have to be. Social media algorithms connect them seamlessly.The massive and organized effort to steer people to the alt right, plus, the distortion of information used by them.

Just swallow the red pill, Jack. I did, and life is a lot happier.
She wants to end for-profit schools and stop federal funding for expanding charter schools (which should be expanded). If she amended it to calling for ending for-profit *charter* schools (not all for-profit schools) and transparency for existing charter schools, I'd be OK with it.
The 2020 election should be really simple: "I'm not going to be corrupt and stupid, and I'll make sure to fill important positions with people who know what they're doing." Stop adding bullshit that would hurt the country and your chances.
@Rational Poster you have no friends, no gf and no life
