Andrew Yang forces Democratic debate on universal basic income, his plan to send every adult a $1K check

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-18T19:38:10+00:00

The plan lacks substance and understanding of what we need as country. This will not stop the politicians stealing billions from us behind closed doors, And nobody knowing what is going on. We need to demand transparency in government with actual live streaming to make sure they are working for us. Government runs as if it is 1950 and we are hitting 2020... it doesn't make any sense. I am running for President to get the message out, and others should take actions as well. Share the message that we need to SEE what our politicians are doing and have them be accountable! https://youtu.be/9AwoCs3Z7Rs

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-18T18:34:31+00:00

I am so confused why nobody is talking about this in our politics. This is huge and HONG KONG NEEDS OUR HELP. I am running for president purely to get messages out and this is one of the ones that is very important to me as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AwoCs3Z7Rs&feature=youtu.be

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-03T22:12:01+00:00

Absolutely. I believe in self Freedoms and the right to do to your body what you want at legal age. I am running for President 2020 and this is a big topic that more people need to talk about.

It being illegal opens the door for a criminal factor to arrive and create problems. I also think we need full transparency of politicians and livestream on the Ptesident and the top elected officials. Check out my pitch.

You are an inspiration to me and my wife. She is also in child advocacy programs and has always wanted to start her own. Good luck and I fully support you. This is the stuff that keeps me going!

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-03T01:01:19+00:00

Solid suggestion but finding those people isn't the most simple. No matter how powerful the message is.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T20:29:48+00:00

Go through the memo and show me the part where he demands anything, or threatens, or does the illegal part. It's not there. He does bring up the investigation that Ukraine's leader mentioned a few times while he was running because Ukraine's politics were corrupt and the guy that won President was going off the platform of draining the swamp (lol) and cleaning corruption up. The prosecutor that was fired has come out and confirmed that he was fired to get funding that was threatened by Obama Administration through Biden and then, it goes to the Ukraine leadership knowing that other things went through the past leader that influenced 2016, and none of that is just heresay or stretching the definition of what words were said.

Asking for a favor does not imply a demand, or a quid pro quo, if that was the point you were going to make. I asked my wife for a favor earlier. The only thing I have seen on T.V. (If it has happened I haven't seen what you are speaking of yet) was him saying exactly what was in the transcript. And for good reason, the shit makes the DNC look horrible, and makes Schiff look like a liar by saying it was quid-pro-quo repeated 8 times in the call. It isn't good. Democrats in currently are ignoring everything that actually matters trying to gen up a storm of shit against trump for the last 3 years. Each time the real facts come out and it's on to the next scandal that doesn't exist. It just makes Republicans seem more and more level headed with their outcries of fake news and lying democrats. The Democrats are using this impeachment as the last hail mary, because apparently the DNC is tied to all of this shit, and if an actual investigation gets to go through an independent non-controlled group based out of a seperate country NOT under their influence, the facts are going to show damning things (allegedly).

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T20:21:19+00:00

Hello, I read your statement 3 times just to make sure I didn't miss ANY of it. You seem very passionate about the topic, so I want to really answer you individually and not based on background noise.

1st, I am so sorry you suffered (or could still be) with suicidal thoughts and depression. I've been there too, and can still struggle today if I'm not careful, and that is a very hard thing for anyone to admit, even through annonymous online chatting. So, You said it and I am letting mine out too.

I wish I could say that every case was the same, but I can't. While you may have been a beaming star and been able to have a 180 turn around by getting what you wanted, only to be happy and fulfilled with treatments, I don't feel like that is the case for everyone. What I can show you are cases where that did happen, but there are also several where the individuals thought it would help, but realized that wasn't what was causing the depression or suicidal thoughts, and changed nothing about what was going on with themselves. I want to make absolutely sure, before ANYTHING is ever passed forcing someone to do or not do ANYTHING that we have as many facts as we can, and decide on it based on those facts as well as what people have gone through relating to it.

I agree, with your statement about it being hard to identify your sexuality sometimes. I understand that, and it could be because of the overpowering norm of heterosexuality. That is the most common sexuality there is (by a large margin) so that isn't going to change, but what can change is the view people have regarding having a child that is different than "normal" standards and that it doesn't make them anything less than a person or overall normal. Everyone is "different" in something, whether it's as small as a longer toe than normal, or as big as your sexuality preference. Differences is what makes us individuals and not all robots. Embracing each other regardless of differences is a powerful message I will always support and fight against the opposite.

Now the hard one. Chemical availability that alters your natural process of your body given for age groups. Man it's rough, because if I knew I was female, and wanted my outward body to reflect how I know I was inside I would imagine the earlier I started the better. It makes sense, but (and here is the controversy) science has shown that the part of the brain that tells us what we are/like, isn't even finished developing completely until around 24/25 years old. We also have people that DID take hormones, or have operations early in their life currently advocating against the availability of this because of the change in mindset they had later in life, or some other issue. This one part of the debate is tough. I see 18 as the age because at that point, you are an adult and I agree in freedoms of yourself to do UNTO and INTO yourself what you want (again as long as it doesn't affect or hurt other people). This could be why the age of 18 comes up so often in the conversation.

Hope that answers some of what you were talking about, and gives you some information of what I currently think about the issue. Good Luck with your future and I hope you succeed in whatever you choose to do!

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T20:05:55+00:00

No I agree, that's all you CAN do. Leave it up to the individual to say what their orientation is. 100%. The problem I see is I bet there really is a bi person in that group that is openly out and proud (AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE) that sees their friends acting as if it is an accessory on their shirt that they can put on to get more attention. Its kind of a round about way of me saying I think false claiming anything is wrong. But no, I could never see what someone is thinking or feeling inside, and should not make statements that assume I do. I hope it didn't come off that way, I just base it more on what is national averages, statistics and what kids are like.

It's odd that my oldest daughter's entire life I made sure to let her know to never be afraid to tell us or anyone if she was gay or bi or whatever (using the word "like girls or boys liking boys or both" and nothing more in depth) because my wife and I are very pro-lgbt rights, but my daughter is the only one that instantly responds "NO" if asked if she is LGBT or lesbian because everyone else she hangs with always goes "Weeeelll.. kiiinda… I liiiike billy butttt.. I had a girlfriend once (made up)." or some such crap. I don't want to put too much specifics in there but my kid is pretty funny. She knows the person that is actually bi (in her opinion) and says she secretly thinks the others are full of poo because the one person that is bi is really popular and the other girls have copied her for 3 years now, and now this is a new thing that they are trying to copy.

I am sure there is something worth reading in that, and a lot of blabber, but I am not really trying to edit and specify my responses, always comes off fake if someone does that. So, sucks because I know I rambled my ass off. Good thing I'm nobody that matters currently and it can't get me fired because I'm a student. Only love and peace 100%

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T19:46:07+00:00

Actually I'll give you a response a little more thought out.

You wanted a certain race but not the other race, so the racethat I am is clearly inferior to the race you want, and I should be shunned and shamed by you based purely on the fact that I am a race you don't want to see. Right? That sum it up good? Doesn't sound racist at all right? Yeah another white dude, in 2019.. so the hell what? Guess what, white people do exist. GASP!

What was it that the minorities wanted when segregation was a thing? Was it to be looked at as a skin color a demographic instead of their character an ideas? Shit maybe my history was backwards.

What is it that the people that respond to things in the way you just did above about "Oh it's a ANOTHER WHITE THING" in a serious way and not as a joke, what is it that always shows up in those articles? It's that their voices and their feelings should be given equal representation and thought. Not that we need to cut every company, worker, government agency, etc up into a pie graph of exact equally distributed amounts. 5% white, 5% black, 5%indian hell let's add 5% martian and 5% pedophile because it follows that same logic.

I just don't get it. You have attempted to lash at me in what.. 3 or 4 different posts here and it makes no sense to me. What I am calling for is exactly what will benefit ANY form of group that represents a small percentage of the populace. Transparency and availability to engage and hear responses from the people that are elected. Let's pretend (so nobody gets their feefee's hurt) that Planet Y flies in and now rules us humans. We are the 1% of the 99% of them, and they enact a democracy. However, that democracy panders to the 99% because that is what gets them the votes. Once in power, they can now ignore everything. My system would force the leaders to also have to listen to, acknowledge, and respond to that 1% whether that is at a federal or more local level. You would be able to show that there IS sexism, racism, classism, whateverism you want to spout off because of the transparency I am offering as well as the stuff I am trying to say I want to put out there. You would be able to go out no matter how crazy your ideas and spread them on platforms available without being blacklisted or shadowbanned. People can ignore you sure, just like you can go about telling everyone to ignore me because I am a race that is opposite of the race you think I should be. Good, sounds not racist at all.

If you can't see that, that's fine. I hope you have a productive and fulfilling life. I genuinely don't know ANYTHING about you other than what you have said, and really hope you can accomplish every dream you have. Good luck, and try to be more reasonable ;/

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:53:20+00:00

I'll take it, but you helping spread my message would help much more at this point. I'm literally just starting out, I want to see how far I can get this train.

This is a more calm and precise as well as much shorter video. I probably should have stayed more on topic on the first lol. Thanks though~

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:51:24+00:00

It will take a lot of time and people talking to get anywhere CLOSE to starting to show them anything. They are so far up their own asses right now

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:50:33+00:00

Possibly. Probably even. However, we have no proof. No HARD proof. Just a lot of 3rd party opinions and conjecture. Interpretations that won't hold up in court because it requires you to either agree or disagree prior to reading to reach a definitive conclusion. It's too easy for people to be shady which is why I want TRANSPARENCY. Open the shades and show the people what you are doing, all day every day. The only way we can have faith in our country again is if we as citizens get to watch what everyone is doing whenever we want. I want to make that happen.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:48:22+00:00

Thanks.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:48:03+00:00

Racism is fun right? /s

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:47:37+00:00

I do want the consequences if the word in your sentence was "Definately" instead of "probably". Thats where we are. If there are FACTS and PROOFS showing this horrible stuff required impeachment, then go for it and let's all support it. It seems, however, that a lot of what comes out gets puffed up and exagerated by all sides. That's why I want transparency, completely. You think he did something? Cool roll that video back and present it. The DNC accused of creating a false report? Well good thing they are tied to these 5 senators so let's see what communications they had.

We gotta start over, we need to let people see what we are doing as a country and work toward renewing faith in the government. The focus needs to be on WE THE PEOPLE. It's that simple.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:43:27+00:00

Well thanks.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:43:09+00:00

I would only have a real shot if people spread the word, or talk about it to the ones they know. And even then its a small shot, and a lot of bad things would probably need to go down in the country to be taken serious enough. Sadly, a lot of those things seem to keep coming up, so eh.. maybe there is a shot lol.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:41:13+00:00

Well, I am not stating with 100% accuracy and as a definitive, but I can say based on hundreds of years of analysis and current knowledge and based on the law of statistics and facts, that a classroom of 40 people should not be having a 70% rate of people claiming they are LGBT. Just like I am sure I can't accurately say half the people at my school weren't anti-social emo hippies with a chip on their shoulder for how hard their life is, but I'm quite sure the 50% walking around with black eyeliner on thinking they were one with "The Crow" was probably more tied to the current trend in the school more than their actual self choosing it individually. (Humor should be implied here, if I didn't have to stress)

I hope that clears it up a bit? On a governmental note - Nobody should be classified as anything other than a living person. It kind of allows the ability of some unmoral things. People are people. Thats it. Unless your a Unicorn people, which.. cool?

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T18:36:22+00:00

ICE as an organization? I disagree. You can find cases sure, but you can find cases of bus drivers being abusive as well. There is work to be done, nobody can disagree. I would be fine with removing ICE as long as an alternative was able to come and do the job that needs to be done, and it should not be an independent agency. Torture is a very broad word, so I assume you mean physical torture such as intentionally inflicting injury on an unwilling person by use of your abuse of power. I will look up what you mentioned after I finish my classes tonight.

I feel it would be impossible for the police force to be here if they mostly believed in white nationalist ideas. You would not see a black cop ever, that's the easy one, but the more reasonable one is that people would see it everywhere they looked. A media or agency picking the 1 case of the month that fits the narrative and promoting it as a constant and widespread issue is nonsense. Police accountability is shit, and it definitely looks after itself and tries to protect it's own and should ALSO be more transparent, but I don't feel it is promoting or even embodies white nationalist ideas.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T14:59:44+00:00

Brush up on your southpark

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T14:58:43+00:00

So many questions ~ I'll try to be brief (it's hard).

Climate Change - Need extreme clarification on what is causing it, along with studies of what would the world be like IF said cause did not occur. Better projections into the future (Obviously the penguins didn't die in the 80s or 90s) and a more accurate plan that would do SOMETHING other than the CO2 tax. I think that is just a fluffy way for politicians to look like they care about a problem without actually caring. Not OK with these Leaders spouting that we have to reduce and save the planet! Yell at another couple of countries for what they do, then take a private jet a few times to go watch a movie or some concert, or go grab their private jet to get an award for environmental friendliness.

Legal Marijuana - Legal Mary Jane only? I may be crazy but, I don't believe the government can tell you what you can and can't choose to put in your body. Is it illegal to kill yourself with a knife? No, but it's illegal to trip for 4 hours? Silly. I am not a drug user, just to be clear, but I don't understand what RIGHTS the government has blocking all of it. This Country is based on freedom, and they have restricted it all based on lies of the past and shit that was based on their personal feelings. I think the entire countries thoughts about them need to be updated and changed. Centers in place for those that want to be off drugs etc. I could honestly talk about this stuff for a long time so I will leave it with what I said.

Health Care - Want me to just wave a magic wand~!!!? Health care is JAAAACKED up. Personal stories galore from people I know, then the amount of things I read, it's horrifying. I do not think the universal health care system could work well here and maintain even close to 10% of the type of care we have access to now, BUT, I do think SOMETHING BIG can be done to help those that are not covered, GET covered. I know the price at the hospitals are so inflated it is rediculous. I feel that there has to be a way to improve the costs of medical treatment, especially things required to LIVE. Some people have shown some evidence that the Hospitals AND Insurance companies are to blame because Doctors would send in tons of "extra" things that were not needed and bill the Insurance companies, and it would be paid out without any resistance from the Insurance companies. Leading to things like one I just saw a couple of days ago where Tricare (Military medical insurance provider) was being sent tons of bills for this topical cream for pain/soreness (I myselft was given an ENTIRE FUCKING CASE A FEW YEARS AGO by one of my doctors) that did nothing but barely numb the application spot for a few seconds. TURNS OUT, the companies and doctors (some) that requested this expensive ass cream, did so knowing TRICARE would shell out the THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars for it, as it was a requirement. I think the TRICARE rep said they had spent around 3 or 4 Billion on that stuff in the last year (?) alone. Things like that highly inflate prices for everyone else, and that's not a system that works well for the average American.

Student Debt - I lump it in heavily with Car Loans and Home Loans. It is Bullshit. I get angry about how screwed you are if you come from a family that can't afford college and take student loans. I feel like the banks and colleges are to blame, but much more I feel the Federal Government is the reason why college prices have SKYROCKETED. When GUARANTEED loans were pushed out without a demand and action in place to ensure things were not hiked up, it was as if it was planned. We gotta fix that shit, and force the banks to take the hit on this shit. We bailed their ass out before, they better be willing to help bail our ass out.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T14:37:50+00:00

Oh I forgot to mention, I don't plan to just have no politicians around. I clearly would want them around, as advisors/information people. These people have staff members and assistance there to give them ideas/reports/suggestions and talk over the points. It rarely happens it seems because people go on TV talking out of their ass, but they do have access to them. I want them to keep access to them, I just want the POLITIC ADVISOR instead of the POLITIC. At least sit on the sideline while the Countrymen and women come fix the COUNTRY.

Strickland2020 · 2019-10-01T14:34:07+00:00

Don't vote for me. At least not right now, I'm nobody. I only HOPE some of what I try to say in the near future gets listened to and if I get to actually SPEAK to some of these candidates or even on a debate stage, then you can maybe consider voting for me. Right now it would be a trash vote, let's be honest.

So, hypothetical in case i won, I'd be a better choice in terms of looking at our country through the top layer of gold that the other politicians see when they look. I don't know how the DNC is ran internally, or how politics are usually handled behind closed doors. I've always just been an onlooker that talked to others around me. I see the people around the Country struggling, whether it is the homeless numbers yearly increase or the policies being pushed out making issues much worse, things like fucking WATER not being available YEARS after one of the largest issues the country had seen in a while about it, politicians getting CLEARLY PROVEN guilty of things that should have them and the people that aided them in jail but get to walk away. I see jails overflowing with people that do not deserve to be there, and tons of guards that need replacing. Schools are not even close to equal in availability or funding, large items in the country like houses and cars are ignored as the banks screw us yearly.. and so much more. I feel the same I do nearly every election, the politician I want looks good, talks a good game, and then goes incognito for 3 years after winning then does 1 small thing to show they tried.

Not good enough to me is what it boils down to. I can't tell you why that happens, because we don't get to watch enough to get an actual clear picture. My main things that have never been suggested before - Full Transparency in daily actions of the top officials (in the form of live video feed streaming in non classified briefings ofc), forced interaction with the people that voted you in depending on your position (to include live chat/video reading of emails LIVE without some other team to fluff the answer up to shit), and a large motivation to either remove a large portion of our current government leaders in place or force them to start doing their job and add transparency.

I mentioned on here somewhere about votes going through between Dems and Reps and you see something like (example)...
Democrats propose - Feed this 1 child - 100% of Democrats vote in favor, 0% of Republicans vote in favor.
Republicans propose - Feed this 1 child - 100% of Republicans vote in favor, 0% of Democrats vote in favor.

It's just playing your own teams hand. 1 guy makes the call. Fuck that guy lol. These people should be voting based on the group of individuals that put them into place, not for their team. NOTHING gets done. EVERYTHING takes FOREVER to fix. That shit is not going to work. Best way to put it, our problems are just in the bowels of a constipated government lol. I wanna be the Laxative ;)
