for instance, Beto is the frontrunner for Texas in the Dem primary, but it's not guaranteed
Right, but I want the link where it showed who all the possible candidates were running against each state so far. I believe it was one of the links on the midterms thread
ah
hmm
do you remember what the link looked like
this might be close enough
late
I believe it the homepage was green
found it
yeah, when you said 'green' I immediately went to look for that one
Hey
new thread
@Rhodesiaboo what's up ?
Where is that headline from
CNN
Oh yeah, going back to the race in Maryland, do you know who the Republican candidate is? A former CIA agent
lmao
a cia agent potentially competing against an intelligence leaker
what a world we live in
Meaning, if Manning gets elected in the primaries, she would be up against a CIA agent. So Manning would probably have the upper hand rofl
I think having Manning in the senate would be much more interesting than having some generic democrat in
Oh yeah definitely. Cardin is a shill to Israel and expanding NSA surveillance
@Snickers you say you're a leftist, I'm curious, what specific form of leftism do you believe in?
I said earlier I was socially and fiscally liberal
fiscally liberal as in a lot of programs, w/ more taxes?
liberal's a pretty broad term
a lot or more programs but less taxes and more government spending
taxes don't fund government spending
how would you offset the debt
whats wrong with the debt? what's wrong with the deficit for that matter
the interest rate the Fed puts on the debt increases as the deficit/debt gets larger
in a couple decades, interest on the debt is going to be one of the largest items of expenditure
this causes a pretty large budget crisis the further out we get, financial crises and the such
lmao didn't intend for this to turn into a debate
When interest rates go up, the government pays more into the debt by increasing the deficit. And because the federal deficit is private sector savings, it will stimulate the economy depending on who is holding the bonds
I don't think that's very sustainable though
