• Raise the minimum wage, implement a single-payer universal healthcare system.

    When Sanders was on stage at Fox News being grilled by their anchors for being “too radical”, Sanders turned to the audience and asked them if these policies were really so radical.

    The Fox News audience chanted “No!” (to the surprise of the Fox anchors).

    Slashing healthcare costs and putting more money in people’s pockets are winning strategies, especially if you can call out Republicans on their bullshit messaging.

      So the only two things your new left wing party is going to run on is higher minimum wage (no specific amounts or percentage of local cost of living or anything specific?) and single-payer universal healthcare.

      Yeah I don’t think you would get the majority of votes by making a party based around only those two things.

          I’m not expecting a 10 page book of exactly everything you would implement and exactly how you would do it, but only answering like 10% of a question seems odd.

          That would be like me asking you to list all your ideal ingredients for a sandwich and you only said “bread” then decided you didn’t feel like thinking of the rest so you just hit send and walk away.

            question: will you write me a thesis on how to solve all of societies problems?

            (gives a good response in parts of how to do that)

            WHY DIDNT YOU WRITE ME A THEIS???

        That’s not the same person you originally responded to.

        I agree with your sentiment, but just so you know, the person you asked the question “how will you rebuild the party” is not the person who responded to that question and you responded to.

          Yes I am aware. But they did answer the question so I responded to their answer to my question.
