sure

2019-01-14 19:33:23 UTC  

What about trade?

2019-01-14 19:33:26 UTC  

Do you support free trade

2019-01-14 19:33:27 UTC  

Abolish tarrifs

2019-01-14 19:33:28 UTC  

ye

2019-01-14 19:33:35 UTC  

So you disagree with Trump on trade?

2019-01-14 19:33:39 UTC  

I mean I think Trump should drop the tarrifs now

2019-01-14 19:33:48 UTC  

Also I guess we agree on something then lol

2019-01-14 19:33:51 UTC  

But I think he used it well if his intention was to get other countries to sign freer trade deals

2019-01-14 19:33:55 UTC  

Im also pro free trade

2019-01-14 19:34:39 UTC  

Bet

2019-01-14 19:51:21 UTC  

Communism? 🤔

```In that case: If anyone here is still in the Democrat party, then I'm interested in your assessment of both the sub-factions therein and which you think will likely take over its platform in the near future.
From an outsider perspective, it still looks like a neoliberal head with "progressive"/socialist/commie useful pawns, which may easily hijack the former.```

First of all, it's Democratic party, not Democrat party

2019-01-14 20:58:27 UTC  

There are two wings of the Democratic party: the progressive and establishment wing of the party

2019-01-14 20:58:46 UTC  

The best way I can describe a progressive is someone who supports most of these policies: https://twitter.com/KyleKulinski/status/1075110145800265728

2019-01-14 20:59:12 UTC  

Leaders of the progressive wing are people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren (although she isn't as progressive as him)

2019-01-14 21:00:11 UTC  

Progressives make up a majority of Democratic and independent voters, along with voters overall

2019-01-14 21:00:57 UTC  

And then there is the establishment wing, which has people who range from center-left, like Joe Biden, to center-right, like Hillary Clinton

2019-01-14 21:01:58 UTC  

The problem is, while progressive are a majority of voters in the primary, a lot of them don't pay much attention to politics, which means they either don't vote or support someone like Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders purely because of name recognition

2019-01-14 21:02:31 UTC  

Right now, the two Democrats polling the best are Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden

2019-01-14 21:03:04 UTC  

I have a hunch that Joe Biden will be destroyed, and the primary will be between Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris

2019-01-14 21:03:57 UTC  

The reason Harris will compete with Bernie is because she is center-left but pretends to be a progressive, and she is a women of color

2019-01-14 21:05:04 UTC  

But in order to win as a Democrat, they will have to at least pretend to support progressive policies like Medicare for all

2019-01-14 21:05:17 UTC  

I don't think Dems will let Bernie go toe to toe with Trump. It would be interesting to see, but <:doubt:524826613221949440>

2019-01-14 21:05:47 UTC  

I also think Joe Biden will be destroyed.

2019-01-14 21:05:50 UTC  

They will do whatever they can to stop him, but it will be very hard

2019-01-14 21:06:04 UTC  

If Bernie wins the primary, we easily beat Trump

2019-01-14 21:06:15 UTC  

I think so.

2019-01-14 21:06:33 UTC  

But Democrats like losing elections, so they will try their best to stop him

2019-01-14 21:06:39 UTC  

It's weird, I would vote Bernie over Trump but Trump over all the others you suggested LoL.

2019-01-14 21:06:57 UTC  

You are a conservative?

2019-01-14 21:07:12 UTC  

Libertarian

2019-01-14 21:07:31 UTC  

Well... Minarchist

2019-01-14 21:09:14 UTC  

Minarchist?

2019-01-14 21:09:25 UTC  

And why do you like Bernie better than Trump?

2019-01-14 21:10:07 UTC  

Because I think having Bernie in the seat will cause small towns to dry up even faster and highlight a problem that people ignore.

2019-01-14 21:10:42 UTC  

Trump over the others because he gets people talking politics. Even those who don't care. Helps in the local elections when people aren't just seasonal voters.

2019-01-14 21:12:34 UTC  

Liberalism killed more than communism

Liberals are bro-abortion

Around one billion innocent babies died from abortion
