Do people buy that "Bernie wants to pay for billionaires kids college" or do people see through that?

I find it quite curious that Democrats are so quick to jump on drug companies and other industries who have raised their prices over the years, yet they completely ignore the industry that is most guilty of price-gouging: college education. Quite the contrary, democrats want to empower these institutions to charge even more for education by flooding the system with federal money!

And in other news, the Supreme Court does not suddenly change 200 years of gerrymandering. Eldridge Gerry, the namesake, still kicking since 1812. It's called racist, because it is founded with racist intentions. Not hard to understand. But it's not an inherently racist piece of information to want to know. The category differences is status of citizenship/non-citizenship, not a division of ethnicity. This is a classic, if A then B. B, Therefore A. Poll taxes and civil voting exams aren’t “inherently racist” either, but what does that acknowledgement really mean? It means just because you find a point of commonality, doesn't mean B, therefore A. It's not a true. On a similar, vein I just watched a video where one fellow was yelling at a pro-lifer "How does it feel to believe the same thing as the Taliban? You agree them!" The implied line of argumentation (fallacy) is the same- happen to agree on one point, therefore you are the Taliban.

B, Therefore A. Pointing out that something is technically possible is not always constructive. If I see someone holding a gun with a face mask on prowling around my back yard, I could open the door and invite him in, since he might give me money. But most of the time, that person is not looking to give me money. It could be that he wanted to be anonymous and to protect his money until he gave it to me. But I have a lot of data that indicates masks and weapons usually mean theft, so I'm going to not invite him in. It's not even just technically possible. Asking whether one is a citizen or not on a census is a factual question, completely unconnected to ethnicity. It's not racist, unless the long form census in Canada is also racist. https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/statistical-programs/document/3901_D18_T1_V1Question 13. It was specifically stated that it was being put on there to drive down representation from minorities ... Like it was straight up made to be racist It would only drive down representation of minorities if they are not citizens. In a similar vein, I would not want a bunch of Americans voting in our Canadian election until such time that they became Canadian citizens. Had we been equally lax in our citizenship for decades, suddenly bringing in Question 13 on a long form census would no doubt dis-proportionally impact Americans rather than Bolivians or Russians, but the policy would nonetheless not be anti-American. It's a sensible census question, even if the guy suggesting it is himself anti-American.

Wow who would have guessed that that guy would be the one to go after Biden.

Perhaps democrats should focus more on this, but I've definitely heard it talked about in liberal circles that the current student debt problem is linked to the price creep of college education. You may be a bit quick to find things "quite curious" about the political party you generally disagree with.
edit: by linked I mean, guaranteed funding for students means schools raise their prices, in part to woo more competitive students, and in part just because they can.

I thought t was within the line, but I'll change it. and no, it wasnt me
edit: to be clear i think "weirdo" is pretty tame, and there are no racial, ethnic, or gender issues with it.

God, I wish the moderators had a kill switch for the whole stage's mics.

They should also give the moderators the ability to cut mics and maybe even to drop the candidates into dunk tanks.

None of these "free college education" plans advanced by any of the candidates addresses tuition prices. In contrast, all of their health care plans place caps on health care costs. The contrast couldn't be more stark.

Doubt it, not above her high water mark thus far anyway. I missed what she was referring to though.
