They will have the same kind of problem that outright terrorists tend to have: Finding someone competent who isn't a total whackadoodle.
That kind of pseudo-populism does not tend to attract people who aren't a tad off-kilter to begin with.
Sad!
Or a mark of humility.

What would a good candidate be then?
Mostly agree with you here. Dems need to walk the walk when it comes to policies that benefit the black and brown voters taht are going to give them the keys.
lol that is just wrong
You are right that I am too lazy to explain to you what determines the value of a companies stock and how that value has little to do with how much their workers get paid or how much they paid in corporate taxes
It's also lazy of you to point at a rich guy and say it's not fair or things should be more fair. I mean if you have a specific tax proposal in regards to corporate taxes or capital gains taxes let's hear it.
lol just gliby saying "that's all wrong"
Stocks are valued off expected future free cash flow to equity (i.e., surplus-value). This is corporate finance 101. If workers need to be paid more and income is taxed at a higher rate, there's going to be less future cash flow to equity. Are you seriously saying that the cost of labor and corporate income taxes don't have any relationship with a company's market cap
Specific proposal - Tax capital gains at the ordinary tax rate and restore the tax rates we had back in the 1950s when the country actually had a middle class. Increase the estate tax to 75% on any estate value over $5 million since the only people who get hurt by an estate tax are trust fund babies who did nothing to earn it. Is that specific enough?

I dunno about that. It is right now because Dear Leader. But once he's out of the picture (and he inevitably will be sooner or later), I'm not sure what that picture looks like.
Frankly, I can't see an ending to Trumpism that's not a complete flameout.
what happens to the Republican Party if something happens to Mitch McConnell?
Cocaine Mitch is just a vessel for Charles Koch and the other industrialists who want to return the country to the 1920s. He's easily replaceable.

It's amazing that these people can come from nothing and build up these gigantic companies. I remember when I used to order textbooks from Amazon - never dreamed it would take over retail the way it has.
if they had nothing where did his parents come up with 250000?
there’s a whole lot of irony here. Maybe more irony than any single post on this site.
so where’s your big boy answer about what should make anyone support the Republican Party?
just say you’re too frightened and not intelligent enough to answer the question. It would save time.
and just like the other “self made” success on here, you don’t understand economics either.
jesus
impossible, they never did anything to help you at all. You’re a self made success, and you didn’t inherit anything, and did every single thing to achieve your success.
at least that’s what all the truly truly successful people on spurstalk did.
jesus
it’s actually a pretty common tactic by what have devolved into trumpers.
they think that trying to shame people into silence and acceptance as the people that use their wealth to buy the people that make the rules to favor them.
Because they think they’ll have that kind of money some day, and they are naturally ty people.
Mic e Obama would be a good, appealing candidate, but apparently doesn't want to run. Keep looking in that mold.

Sherrod was my #1 choice this year but in hindsight I'm glad he didn't run, his senate seat is too important.
How Donald Trump Jr. could crush Republican senators — and take over the GOP from his father
Wilson told The Guardian,
“What I tell all these Republicans who think they’re going to run in ’24 for president — Ben Sasse and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz — is they’re not going anywhere.
They should stop right now.
They’re wasting their time and everyone else’s,
because the nominee in 2024 is going to be Donald Trump, Jr.
He will come in, he will have his father’s endorsement, and
he will promise great feats of lib ownership.”

Wow that's a ty take
I don’t even think AOC intends to run in 2024. She’s got her eye on Schumer’s seat in 2022.
She can try but she'll lose
I’m not sure about that. She got the celebrity status and name recognition most upstart progressive candidates struggle to get.
Sounds like you got the stock market all figured out. You should open a RobinHood account asap.
Yeah that's specific. Good luck with that platform.
I think the middle class is under taxed but those rates seem excessive even to me.
Goes without saying that you’d be adjusting for inflation.
I already have a Robinhood account but glad you’re once again resorting to sarcasm because you have no response.
