For a party of progressives, there are more old white men on stage than at the GOP debate.

Would I love to be able to go to school tuition free, have childcare, free healthcare? Sure, I'm sure everyone would love that. But it is never going to happenwhy live then, tbh Just because you aren't getting them for "free" (Or, on the back of taxes and other funding methods) does not mean there are not numerous other ways that can improve the system and lives for millions. 3250
What exactly do you find absurd?His plans are ludicrous in the sense that he'll be hard-pressed to get them through Congress, but not ludicrous in the sense that they're absurd plans.The argument I offer about his consistency is to illustrate that his positions are genuine, not what is politically popular. This applies to most of his platform.HOPING FOR THAT SANDERS SMACKDOWN™Sanders trumps [lol] every other candidate when it comes to consistency. Let's start with the cost. We're talking hundreds of billions, if not trillions, in new government expenses that are economically unfeasible - like it or not, we're living in a time where both sides of our government (Yes, Democrats are responsible for this as well) cannot come together and pass a semi-balanced budget. And before you say "Tax the rich" - you're only going to get so much out of them if you go that route, and at some point, the well will run dry and we will be more fucked than we are now. Would I love to be able to go to school tuition free, have childcare, free healthcare? Sure, I'm sure everyone would love that. But it is never going to happen, even if Sanders becomes President. He does not have executive power to do so, and we already know that Congress is a shit-show - any executive orders he issues will be thrown to the courts, and if they make it to the Supreme Court, would be likely decimated - this isn't the 1930's, he isn't going to be a new FDR. Sanders needs to realize this, and realize that his plans are doomed, and his Presidency is doomed to a lame-duck session, unless he makes alterations: Not free college, but work to change federal guidlines on student loaning and make the private industry less dangerous; Not free government childcare, but offer startups to the states to help establish more reliable childcare services in major cities, etc. 3251

Which'll mean jack shit as President, since he'll be able to do nothing on his agenda. Quote Hillary can't exactly lean back and let her record speak for itself. While she was supporting traditional marriage 5-10 years ago, Bernie was fighting for legalizing back in the 70's. As a gay man, I really could care less.
