Elizabeth Warren 2020

[Hank Kingsley 21,088]

I don’t have an issue with Warren doing the right thing. The fact it can easily be reversed by the next President is the problem. Maybe we should be talking more about democratic reform.

You'd prefer to see EOs have even more staying power? I'd prefer that neither Trump nor Warren nor anyone have the ability to essentially legislate without having to pass legislation.

No, I'd prefer fewer EOs. 

 

[TwiceHorn 31,685]

As BamaChick notes, Congress' steadfast refusal to enact " Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good," has vested so much power in executive agencies that a lot of or most of them are validly subject to executive order.  Congress can still make some of them the subject of legislation, and thus relatively permanent.

But the initial problem is that of delegation.  Some of it is necessary, much of it is abdication.  A few EOs from most of the last few admins have been overreach to do something Congress won't.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,367]

This is dumb, of course everyone would prefer laws to EO.  Kinda hard to do the right thing via legislation when the lawmakers are completely compromised by the 1% and foreign governments.  EO until you fix that problem is all you can do and hope the courts back you up.

There are 2 major candidates running truly grassroots, of-the-people campaigns. The other 3 majors are varying flavors of corporate whore.

 

[Hank Kingsley 21,088]

Warren transferred $10.4 million from her Senate campaign during Q1.  Was that strictly grassroots money?

Nope. Running, present tense.

I agree with you Hank, she's only the 2nd best major candidate for the actual people of the nation, but she's way ahead of the full-on corporate-owned major candidates.

Nothing petty about it, she is capitalizing on a moment, which is exactly what someone supporting her would hope would happen. Pete's polls are weak, Kamala & Joe are flinging shit; the professional corporate/media class hates Bernie, so Warren can and hopefully WILL soak up positive shine. If we get nominee Warren then President Warren we'll have the best US President in living memory and a fantastic role model for young girls all across the nation.

Or - try this one on for size. I know it's really a wild and crazy theory and you're not a big fan of women, but just roll with me here. Is there a chance that Liz has surpassed the majority of the field, including Bernie, in fundraising and in the polls, because she's done a really good job of getting her message out, crafting policies that people like, marketing herself, and composing herself well in the debate?

It's so interesting that when your 80 your old male candidate gets momentum, it's all about him and his ideas and his movement and his policies. But when Liz Warren gets momentum, it's a product of the media and the corporations getting behind her.

Petty petty petty. There are a lot of things you do and say on this board that you should be ashamed of yourself for, but this is way up there.

Yes, these are also reasons for her rise.

She's been consistently very good for a very long time now (like, back when you were voting for Republicans and libertarians; before the Tweeting Cheeto-man made you tempory-not-Republican, and you will shove your entire nose up Amash's asshole as soon as he decides to concern-face run as an independent/libertarian), so when the positive media attention came it could grab hold because she actually deserves the positive attention (unlike the empty suits like Pete and Beto that the media briefly tried to turn into sensations).

That's why Warren's momentum is (HOPEFULLY) durable. There are two extremely good outcomes for this primary, and Liz winning is one of them.

Media attention is free advertising. If it's positive, then it's basically free positive ads for your campaign; it's a light that shines on your efforts. Liz's efforts have been very good for a long time, so the light shines on her and she gets 400k+ people donating to her, because the light revealed substance.

Without that media attention, all of Liz's positive qualities would've remained hidden, like they were in Q1 when she wasn't getting positive media coverage and her following/fundraising were poor DESPITE the fact that she was the absolute best candidate running from 12/2018 to mid-2/2019 (and after that, still a very strong #2).

I'm sorry that you're stupid, Brad. There's not much I can do to help you with it.

She's cut down the burn rate.  What a well-run campaign so far. 

 

The Warren campaign appears built to last. After hiring more than 300 staffers, it still has $19.7 million cash on hand, according to a campaign source. That figure suggests that the campaign dramatically reduced its “burn rate” in the second quarter, from 85 percent to 55 percent. The campaign still spent about $10.6 million last quarter, but the increase in online fundraising allowed it to add $8.5 million to its cash on hand.

 

[Hank Kingsley 21,088]

Lulz.  Warren said yes before she could even complete her statement.

New Plan: A Fair and Welcoming Immigration System

https://medium.com/@teamwarren/a-fair-and-welcoming-immigration-system-8fff69cd674e

Immigrants have always been a vital source of American strength. They grow our economy and make our communities richer and more diverse. They are our neighbors, our colleagues, and our friends — and every bit as much a part of America as those who were born in the United States.

President Trump sees things differently. He’s advanced a policy of cruelty and division that demonizes immigrants. He’s axed programs that protect young Dreamers and asylum seekers fleeing violence and upheaval. He’s championed dramatic cuts to legal immigration, and imposed a bigoted ban on travelers from Muslim-majority countries. He’s threatened to close our ports of entry to lawful transit and commerce, and exploited a crisis of his own making at the border to score cheap political points. But while Trump may have taken the system to its most punitive extreme, his racist policies build on a broken immigration system and an enforcement infrastructure already primed for abuse.

I saw that in McAllen, Texas, in the eyes of mothers who fled violence only to be ripped apart from their babies at the U.S. border. I saw it in the tears of families as they waited for their loved ones at Logan Airport in Boston on the night Trump announced his Muslim Ban. I saw it in the tired faces of little children made to march in formation between makeshift tents in the hot summer sun at the Homestead detention facility in Florida.

I also see it when I talk with our Dreamers about their aspirations and their fears. When I meet with business owners who watch their competition exploit undocumented workers for a competitive advantage, and with farmers who cannot access the labor they need. When I sit with families who have been waiting decades for a visa to reunite with their loved ones, and with mixed-status families who worry that a parent, brother or sister could be ripped away at any time.

We must address the humanitarian mess at the border and reverse this president’s discriminatory policies. But that won’t be nearly enough to fix our immigration system. We need expanded legal immigration that will grow our economy, reunite families, and meet our labor market demands. We need real reform that provides cost-effective security at our borders, addresses the root causes of migration, and provides a path to status and citizenship so that our neighbors don’t have to live in fear. That’s why today I’m announcing my plan for immigration reform — to create a rules-based system that is fair, humane, and that reflects our values.

Eliminating Abusive Enforcement

President Trump has weaponized deportation in ways that are costly, ineffective, and designed to maximize pain. It’s time to end this cruelty — and refocus on true threats to public safety and national security instead. As president, I will:

Decriminalize migration and refocus enforcement on serious criminal activity. Entering the country without authorization has always been a violation of civil immigration law, but thanks to a former segregationist Senator, it’s also a criminal violation. This additional criminal provision is totally unnecessary for border security, and for a century, it was rarely enforced. But since the early 2000s, it has been used to build and sustain a massive immigration detention complex. In 2016, over half of all federal criminal prosecutions were for immigration violations — more than prosecutions for terrorism, organized crime, hate crimes, or financial fraud. This obsessive focus ties up federal prosecutors and overwhelms federal courts. It’s costly and unnecessary. And under Trump, it has become increasingly abusive. We should repeal this criminal prohibition to prevent future abuse. As president, I will immediately issue guidance to end criminal prosecutions for simple administrative immigration violations; end Operation Streamline, which subjects migrants to mass prosecutions; and refocus our limited resources on actual criminals and real threats to the United States. I will also issue prosecutorial guidance to prioritize immigration cases with security concerns, and make sure government attorneys are properly exercising their discretion for individuals who pose no public safety risk.

Separate law enforcement from immigration enforcement to strengthen our communities. There are good reasons to keep immigation enforcement and law enforcement separate. When law enforcement is forced to also handle immigration violations, people are less willing to report crimes for fear of revealing their immigration status. Combining these functions sows distrust and harms public safety. As President, I’ll put in place strict guidelines to protect sensitive locations like schools, medical facilities, and courthouses from enforcement actions. I’ll expand programs that grant protections to immigrant victims of serious crimes who come forward and assist law enforcement. And I’ll end programs like 287(g) and “Secure Communities” that force local cops to enforce federal immigration laws so they can focus on effectively serving their communities.

Remake CBP and ICE in a way that reflects our values. Our immigration agencies should protect Americans and uphold the rule of law, not pursue punitive anti-immigrant policies that target communities of color. I’ll hold immigration enforcement to the same due process standards as other law enforcement agencies — no more warrantless arrests or stops deep in the interior of our country. I’ll reshape CBP and ICE from top to bottom, focusing their efforts on homeland security efforts like screening cargo, identifying counterfeit goods, and preventing smuggling and trafficking. And to change the culture, I’ll insist on transparency and strengthen the authorities of independent internal watchdogs to prevent future abuses.

Create accountability for the abuse perpetrated during the Trump Era. President Trump and his Administration are comfortable looking the other way while criminal abuses of immigrants pile up. When I am President, I will not. I’ll designate a Justice Department task force to investigate accusations of serious violations — including medical neglect and physical and sexual assaults of detained immigrants — and give it independent authority to pursue any substantiated criminal allegations. Let there be no ambiguity on this: if you are violating the basic rights of immigrants, now or in the future, a Warren administration will hold you accountable.

Significantly Reduce Immigration Detention

Americans are rightfully horrified by scenes of chaos and abuse at our border. Separating parents and children and detaining families and other vulnerable populations is not only staggeringly expensive and inhumane, it has no proven deterrent effect. To end unnecessary detention and rebuild a more humane system, a Warren administration will:

End unnecessary detention. We already have the tools to effectively track and monitor individuals without shoving them into cages and camps along the border. As President, I’ll issue guidance ensuring that detention is only used where it is actually necessary because an individual poses a flight or safety risk. I will put additional layers of protection in place for certain groups, including asylum seekers, families and pregnant women, and LGBTQ+ people who are more vulnerable in a general detention facility. And I’ll enforce strict standards for remaining detention facilities, including for medical care and to end the use of solitary confinement.

Eliminate private detention facilities. There is no place in this country for profiting off cruelty. I’ll end the contracts ICE has with private detention providers, and push for legislation to permanently ban for-profit detention.

Expand the executive use of parole and invest in alternatives-to-detention. DHS has broad authority to parole individuals who are detained prior to their cases being heard in immigration court. Community-based alternatives to detention are safer, save money, and can be more effective at ensuring compliance. I’ll significantly expand successful programs, which include case management, referrals to legal and social services, and periodic check-ins and surveillance. These programs provide a measure of dignity for those in the system, and their expanded use would save over a billion dollars each year in unnecessary detention costs.

Provide Rights and Due Process in our Immigration Courts

It’s not enough to merely correct the excesses of the Trump administration’s immigration policies. To prevent future abuses, we need to treat migrants moving through the system in a manner that reflects our Constitution and our values. A Warren administration will:

Establish professional, independent Article I immigration courts. DOJ both oversees the immigration court system and enjoys massive authority to manipulate those courts to implement the president’s immigration policy agenda. Immigration court rulings can even be overturned by the Attorney General — a fundamental conflict of interest exploited by Jeff Sessions. I’ll work to create a credible, independent system by passing legislation establishing Article I judicial review for immigration cases modeled on our federal courts. I’ll deploy smart efficiency measures, beginning by restoring judges’ ability to prioritize and manage their own dockets. And my administration will recruit highly qualified immigration judges with a diverse set of legal experiences so that everyone receives appropriate justice.

Eliminate expedited removal and provide due process. Due process ensures basic fairness for individuals attempting to navigate complex laws and prevents law enforcement and presidents from abusing authority. But mostimmigrants facing deportation do not have attorneys — and in the Trump administration, that even includes toddlers. In fact, one-third of deported immigrants never even see a judge: instead, the immigration officer serves as both prosecutor and jury. I’ll eliminate the use of expedited removal proceedings and guarantee hearings. I’ll call for creating a national-scale immigration public defender corps, and a Warren administration will provide access to counsel in immigration court.

Welcome Those In Need

Our laws and our values compel us to help those fleeing violence and oppression, but Trump’s racism has contributed to a climate of fear for those seeking refuge in our country. As president, I will:

Reject exclusionary policies based on race, religion and nationality. I’ll reverse Trump’s bigoted Muslim Ban on my first day in office. I’ll withdraw the Trump policy that forces immigrant families to choose between staying together and ensuring their children — many of whom are American citizens — have access to critical services. And I’ll reinstate Temporary Protected Status designations and Deferred Enforced Departure to protect individuals at risk in their home countries, including migrants from the Carribbean and Africa who have built lives and businesses in our country.

Raise the refugee cap. At a time when 70 million are displaced around the world, President Trump has abused his authority to lower the refugee cap for the United States, admitting just over 22,000 refugees in total last year. I’ll welcome 125,000 refugees in my first year, and ramping up to at least 175,000 refugees per year by the end of my first term.

Affirm asylum protections. We should welcome those fleeing violence, not imprison them in cages. As president, I will reverse Trump’s efforts to stack the deck against asylum applicants. I’ll ensure that asylum seekers can safely present themselves at ports of entry for humane, efficient processing, including by ending the metering and “Remain in Mexico” policies. I’ll restore President Obama’s promise to extend asylum for those fleeing domestic or gang violence and affirm asylum protections for gender identity and sexual orientation-based asylum claims. I’ll streamline processes to eliminate the backlog of individuals waiting for an asylum adjudication. And I’ll pardon those convicted of providing food and water to migrants — because no one should go to jail simply for providing humanitarian aid to another person in need.

Grow Legal Immigration and Establish a Fair and Achievable Path to Status

As president, I’ll work to expand legal immigration. I’ll also take executive action to provide a measure of protection for those who are undocumented, while pursuing a legislative solution that provides a path to citizenship.

Expand legal immigration. America should welcome more legal immigration — done in the right way and consistent with our principles. We should use targeted immigration as a tool to create jobs and businesses and grow our economy. We should reflect our values, which means expanding family reunification and making it easier for relatives of citizens and green card holders to come to the United States. We should put American workers first by ensuring that workers already here get the first opportunity to fill any available positions. We should empower workers, not employers, by coupling any expansion of legal immigration with real accountability on employers who break the rules, exploit workers, or don’t adhere to basic labor standards. And we should be transparent and data-driven in our immigration policies, using the best available information to identify true needs in the labor force and to address those needs in a way that incorporates the input of both workers and companies.

Make it easier for those eligible for citizenship to naturalize. Today over 9 million green card holders are eligible to apply for citizenship but many have not chosen to naturalize due to unnecessary barriers, including the cost of applications, the complexity of the process, and administrative issues and backlogs. I’ll work to make it possible for everyone who is eligible to naturalize to do so.

Reduce the family reunification backlog. As many as 4 million immigrants who are otherwise eligible to come to the United States legally are prohibited because of by-country visa caps. My administration will redistribute unused visas to reduce this backlog and reunite more families with their loved ones. I’ll also urge Congress to repeal laws that make family reunification more difficult to achieve.

Repeal the 3- and 10-year bars. The law currently requires a person unlawfully in the United States to depart the country for three or ten years before they can apply for legal status. I’ll petition Congress to repeal that requirement. In the meantime, I’ll reinterpret “extreme hardship” to include family separation, making it easier to obtain a waiver allowing people to apply for legal status without having to leave the country for an extended period of time.

Provide a fair and achievable pathway to citizenship. For the good of our economy and our communities, it’s long past time to provide a path forward for the approximately 11 million undocumented individuals currently living and working in the Unites States. We should immediately reinstate the DACA program and protections for our Dreamers and their families. I’ll expand the program to cover more young people by extending the cut-off date, eliminating the arbitrary application age requirement, and extending the “minor” designation to anyone who was brought to the U.S. under the age of 18. But Dreamers have families and communities that are productive, longtime members of our American family and need protection too. The same is true of the Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure holders. I’ll extend the individual exercise of discretion to offer deferred action protections to hardworking immigrants who have contributed to our country for years and have built careers and families here. And I’ll push for a far-reaching legislative fix that provides a fair but achievable path to citizenship for them.

Limit the penalties considered for status determinations. Part of focusing on real threats means distinguishing between actual criminals and law-abiding immigrants. We shouldn’t penalize people for prior convictions under statutes that criminalize border crossing for the purpose of status determinations. And we should establish a statute of limitations for how long a misdemeanor will be considered as part of an individual’s immigration adjudication. Citizens with minor, non-violent criminal records should not be permanently excluded from being a part of American society — and immigrants shouldn’t be, either.

Create an Office of New Americans. I’ll establish an Office of New Americans dedicated to supporting new immigrants as they transition into our society and economy, and task that office to draft a national strategy for integration. We should provide English, civics, and employment-focused classes and training for immigrants who want to enroll, and work with faith groups and other community organizations to provide support services for refugees and asylees, providing the tools to make it easier for newcomers to integrate into their communities.

Address the Forces Displacing Migrants from Their Home Countries

Migration has spiked around the world, the result of poverty, climate change, violence and injustice. Migrants have come to our country fleeing natural disasters or conflicts that forcedthem from their homes.

In recent years, many have fled north from the Northern Triangle. But the solution to Central American migration isn’t placing children in cages, it’s stabilizing the countries that families are risking their lives to escape. Rather than addressing rampant corruption, criminal gangs, and some of the world’s highest rates of gender-based violence, President Trump has cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in aid for programs that provide vital support.

We cannot fully address migration until we address its root causes. Now more than ever, the United States must reclaim its role as the world’s beacon of hope — and that means proposing bold and nuanced solutions to these complex challenges. As president, I will:

Restore and increase aid. I’ll commit at least $1.5 billion annually in aid to fully fund programs that target crime, disrupt trafficking, address poverty, reduce sexual violence, and enhance programs for at-risk youth in Central America and throughout our hemisphere — and I’ll rally the international community to match those funds.

Step up efforts to address transnational crime. A Warren administration will expand efforts to reduce corruption and improve the rule of law, investigate and prosecute human trafficking, employ targeted financial sanctions against drug kingpins and money launderers, and provide robust funding for efforts to counter gangs.

Inform and protect those seeking refuge. My administration will provide information about the right to seek asylum, reinstate the Central American Minors program, and coordinate with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to help resettle children and families who need protection. We’ll also do more to spread awareness about the dangers of attempting migration across borders to help prevent vulnerable people from being exploited along the way.

---

Donald Trump wants to divide us — to pit worker against worker, neighbor against neighbor. He wants Americans to blame their troubles on those who are new to our country, or who don’t look the same, even as his administration robs us dry. He has tried his best to make it appear that immigrants are not welcome on our shores.

We can be better than this. Americans know that immigrants helped weave the very fabric of our country in the past — and they know that immigrants belong here today.

I’ll work with Congress to pass broad-reaching reform, but I’m also prepared to move forward with executive action if Congress refuses to act. We cannot continue to ignore our immigration challenges, nor can we close our borders and isolate the United States from the outside world. Instead we need big, structural change: a fair immigration system that preserves our security, grows our economy, and reflects our values. That’s good for immigrants, good for workers, and ultimately good for the United States.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

David Weissman was born in New York and served in the US Army for 13 years, with two deployments to Afghanistan. He is a former Republican and left MAGA and ended his support for Trump. He joined the Democratic party now fighting for the rights of others.

I know many of you think it’s crazy how a person can go from being a Trump supporter to a Warren supporter. It wasn’t money, it wasn’t fame, etc. I decided to be a Trump supporter because I believed in conservative values which at the time, didn’t realize it was propaganda. I foolishly accepted the false narrative of Democratic officials, I.E. President Obama and Hillary Clinton. I allowed my hatred towards Hillary Clinton and ignorance in real-life situations to decided that Trump was the person I thought was right to be President. Boy was I wrong.

We’ve been lied to by conservative pundits to what Democrats and liberals fight for, with real extreme ideals, which a lot of it wasn’t true. For example, liberals really do love the Military, made programs for Veterans and Democrats do not want gun confiscation. Muslims are not terrorists, and many are good people, people who do share the same values of peace, love, and humanity.

After learning truths, I’ve learned there is not one American culture like I was led to believe by GOP and pundits, but there are many different walks of life, different points of view. People of different colored skin do not have the same life growing up and as adults. I’ve learned that I already have the rights I’ve been fighting for when I was a conservative. Being liberal is not taking away conservative rights, it’s fighting for rights that certain groups of people don’t have. There’s still bigotry towards POC, Muslims, LBGT and migrants. Liberals realize it’s not about you when they are out there marching in the streets. What helped me was learning to have empathy and knowing the difference between truth and propaganda.

It’s very possible for a person to change their values later in life. After understanding the truth about liberalism. I believe that Senator Warren is the perfect example of what it means to be a Democrat. She has compassion for those who don’t have a voice. She has experience of bipartisan work that this country truly needs to unite as one and to heal after the division the current President and administration has caused. The issues that she cares about are real issues like children locked in concentration camps with inhumane conditions, instead of getting upset at a person of color’s free speech. Our country needs to move forward, not backward and I believe Senator Elizabeth Warren has the plan for that.

There are too many smart people who think only Kamala can "destroy" Trump in a debate. First, debates don't really matter. Second, Warren is equally effective at blowing people to smithereens in debates. Third, her heart is in a better place. I really do believe that Warren cares about people.

Her stances on Wall Street reform, and actual accountability of gov't to and for citizens is a resonant message.  I'd like to hear her thoughts on a potential looming recession (depending on who you listen to). How would she keep the economy stimulated in the face of an economic turn down?

Read some of her plans.  The revenue generated from her ultra millionaires tax would go directly into stimulating the economy at the entry level by reducing the heaviest cost burdens of most of the middle class.  

Her child care plan nearly eliminates the crippling cost burden of child care while expanding the child care business sector through private/public partnerships.   This is actually a major economic stimulus plan. 

Offering up to 50k in student loan forgiveness gives these people more financial flexibility to invest in the economy and business start ups. 

Nearly all of Warren’s plans are geared around reshaping the economy to work for the workers while eliminating the corporate stranglehold on the government.

Warren has a lot of ideas

Elizabeth Warren has a universal child care plan. She has a plan to crack down on corruption in defense procurement. She wants to make it legal to indict a sitting president. She has an ambitious reproductive rights agenda, and a plan to break up big technology companies; that plan is actually separate from her larger idea to rework antitrust policy. She also has an expansive “economic patriotism” agenda. And a big plan for free college and student debt cancellation. Much of this would be paid for by a big new tax on large accumulated fortunes.

That’s to say nothing of her plan to end shareholder supremacy in corporate America, her expansive housing agenda, her plan on private prisons, her plan to reduce racial disparities in maternal mortality, her climate plan, or her plan for rural America.
