    Yang is polling higher than Booker and Klobuchar. Bernie is polling 2nd.

    No I didn't, not yet at least.

    Went to youtube to watch the vid, because that's how I roll. Hit the "support" button instead of the content provider's button, cause I like to know who is creating/uploading the vids I'm watching.

    So now I know what a Patreon is, long story short, thanks. I'm still unconvinced that you're not Boris P. Tracksuitski somewhere in Crimea.

    Buck, how can I respect anything you argue for or against if you are confused by a Youtube link?

    So you didn't have a point to posting the video.

    That makes sense.

    Not confused at all anymore, as I said I went to youtube (the button on the bottom right of your video that says YOUTUBE) to watch the vid. I do that so I can see the creator of the vid, and what other vids they've made. Again, as I said, I hit the patreon link, below the link of the uploader, by mistake, because I did not know what patreon was/is until now. If you need further clarification, or additional credentials to consider my future posts with the respect that they deserve, that info can be provided on an as-needed basis.

    Dreamshook makes more posts in the GARM and specifically game threads then anybody else I think lol, how people carelessly call others Russian trolls for political disagreement is really silly.

    It's the reason why my post count is so embarrassingly high.

    Modifying health systems to ensure their success is just smart government. Continuing a for profit system that is the most expensive on planet Earth, that also leaves tens of millioms of people without care and/or with enormous bills, without major modifications is unsustainable. We don't even play by the rules of capitalism here since Medicare does not leverage its user base to get cheaper drugs for Americans. We basically subsidize drugs for the entire world.

    I think McKinsey's reputation is fairly well known. Substance.

    How McKinsey Helped the Trump Administration Carry Out Its Immigration Policies

    McKinsey Faces Criminal Inquiry Over Bankruptcy Case Conduct

    How McKinsey Lost Its Way in Africa

    McKinsey Advised Purdue Pharma How to ‘Turbocharge’ Opioid Sales, Lawsuit Says


    Perhaps what you've noticed is that "the far left" has accurately pointed out that capitalism has run wild and needs to be reined in to re-level the playing field. When corporations can use unscrupulous methods, actually write laws for Congress, cloak themselves in NDA's, and then drag litigation out in the courts to a degree that they're never found guilty of anything then we have serious problems. We have a history of success taking on corporations and busting up monopolies to protect consumers in Teddy Roosevelt. He was a Republican and a progressive, not "the far left". At some point soon there's not going to be anywhere left to work to earn a middle class wage, just as capitalism run wild is designed to work. It has to change.

    Did Pete have anything to do with those?

    Pete worked there 3 years way before Trump.

    I totally agree that Capitalism has run amok but that has nothing to do with an NDA and now people should just break a contract because you feel the need to see what he did there.

    Also the far left did not point out capitalism has run amok, Obama ran on it in 2008 and 2012.

    "maybe just as problematic" is like saying the Texans and the New England Patriots are maybe kind of in the same boat.

    I'm sorry but this makes no sense.
