1. Kick

[milestogo]

2. I miss Senator Kohl - he was anti-monopoly

and I can't think of anyone else in the Senate who talks about it.

[gab13by13]

5. Anyone?

How about Bernie?

[W_HAMILTON]

8. Elizabeth Warren is a much more correct answer.

[popsdenver]

28. Bingo

that is why the Republicans are Obliterating the Consumer Protection Act and the CP Commission.....

BTW: A friend just was presented with a Nobel Peace Prize, solid gold medallion, for his work....eat your heart out Trump..........

[Scrivener7]

38. "Much more correct answer"? Really? We can't acknowledge both?

[W_HAMILTON]

40. It's been the main motivation of Elizabeth Warren's for quite some time.

So, yes, I would say that Elizabeth Warren would be the first person that comes to mind when I think of politicians against monopolies.

If we want to acknowledge those that have spoken out against them at some point, well, then we can probably acknowledge most every Democrat then.

[Scrivener7]

41. She's the first to come to your mind. Others come to other people's mind.

And that's a good thing.

[milestogo]

10. Yes, Bernie and Warren

But right now we are being taken over by monopolies.

Kohl was a moderate. He was never as popular as Feingold in Wisconsin, but he got a lot of votes from the other side. And I appreciated him for speaking out against monopolies.

And now we have Senator Ron Johnson, straight from Russia.

[popsdenver]

29. The U.S. has been taken over by the Corporations people

they are nearly 100% there already. It has been building for decades folks........
Fascism is basically the merger of Corporations and Government......
2010 "Citizens United" provided the final piece they needed.
The Corporations have succeeded in buying the best politicians.

Some day, we may see the *United States of America*, become the *United Corporations of America*.....

Orwell had it right, except for one important thing......it is not the government we needed to watch out for, but the corporations we needed to stop........

[WiVoter]

11. I'm Kohl Fellowship Teaching Recipient

Retired now, but honored. A wonderful man. I miss him too.

[tanyev]

3. Prize comes with $50 in Kohl's cash!

[2MuchNoise]

4. That's worth more than the stupid medal they hung around trump's neck.

[dem4decades]

6. Newsom gets my vote, he fights the fight.

[Jill Hanson]

21. Nope

I was for Newsom up until yesterday when he came out against a wealth tax… we don’t need a Republican light. We are in this place cuz democrats for too long have been happy with chipping around the edges. We need someone with a conviction to break this corrupt income inequality system. We need an FDR New Deal Movement otherwise we are doomed and a leader who is unafraid to take on the wealthy. I’m only voting for a candidate committed to doing so as well as add on the Supreme Court. No study/feasibility commission…we know what the problem is. Sooo disappointed in Gavin but he lost my vote.

[travelingthrulife]

22. Then we will continue to have full bore Republican control.

We can't keep throwing away great candidates for single issues like this. You were for him up to yesterday, until he said this? Maybe.

[Jill Hanson]

23. Single Issue?

We’re not talking about gay rights, abortion, gun control…we’re talking about the single biggest issue that affects everyone but the ultra wealthy. Read the room…and the polls…Unless you’ve been living under a rock affordability is the number one issue. 5 years ago we had zero centibillionaires…That word didn’t exist 5 years ago they actually had to make a new word. . Today there are 15 all but two living in the US. This corrupt system with tax breaks and avoidance is so unfair and contributes mightily to our current economic condition. How anyone can say this makes me a single issue voter is uninformed and will be voting for a losing candidate.

[BannonsLiver]

25. 2028 is going to be rough for you looking for that purity candidate.

[mercuryblues]

27. Bingo

That purity test gave republicans and religious fanatics control over my uterus and medical decisions for me.

[B.See]

35. ... forest for the trees.

7. LOVING how Gavin Newsom is MOCKING Donnie Dipshit at every turn.

Run, Gavin, Run!(in 2028)

[Easterncedar]

9. He's running alright.

[cstanleytech]

12. Donnie Dumpsterfire is more like it.

[Beartracks]

20. Trump: America's Most Mockable President.

[Joinfortmill]

13. If Newsom runs for Prez, I'm voting for him. Damn this is good stuff!

[B.See]

36. Barring something (someone) unforseen,

he'd get my vote.

I don't want a fkn nice guy or gal. I want what the whiner-in-Chief calls 'nasty.' The'nastier' the better. Someone who'll roll around in the dirt with him, who won't mind calling him a sob or a mf, and who'll give right back same as he/she gets.

Someone who'll kick some azz then laugh about it.

[malaise]

14. Ridicule the fool

😂😂😂

[Emile]

15. He is better when he's trolling the orange menace! K & R

[Attilatheblond]

17. He attracts & picks REALLY good people work on his team, like how Biden drew the best people to staff positions
