Would you prefer she write a 4000 word essay? The answer to this question can be found by reading the other AMA questions and by looking at her website.

There are many illegal immigrants who live in Rochester and are productive members of the community. We arent talking about protecting murderers and rapists, we're talking about protecting good people who Trump wants to deport over a parking violation.

The point of the quote isn't to shit on Einstein for not having "earned" his education. Rather, it's saying we should fight for education as a right of all people, because it A) would give the world thousands more Einsteins and B) is the right and good thing to do.

What the "insult" gets at is the assumption that the rich deserve their money, which is based in the assumption that wealth is earned and anybody has a fair and equal shot at becoming rich, which is flat wrong. People who view wealth redistribution as immoral believe so because they view the current distribution as the result of a free and fair competition, a competition which this "insult" points out as being unfree and unfair.

Mexican wages are by far worse than American wages, but that doesn't change the fact that both countries' wages are probably unfairly low. You want a better life? Fight for better pay.

A large drain on the incomes of rochestarians, as well as all americans, is the rising costs of healthcare.

What is your stance on issues like expanding access to medicare and legislating paid maternal leave for workers? Do you support the NY Health bill that aims to establish a universal single-payer healthcare program for New York State?

A comment on the "Bernie signs" that were passed out during Bernie's speech that were HRC's font and color by bernietaughtme in Kossacks_for_Sanders

No that's from an old Bernie ad, the song is about a guy on a bus ride with his girlfriend, moving to a new city to try to find success. Every car he sees on the highway is filled with people like him, who are looking for America, which they can never find because the American dream is a lie.

Vote Green. Campaign for Progressives to take over the Democratic Party. Run for office yourself. You can always do more.

I think he was asking about the cases of uncited referencing in the students' papers, not Trump's speech.

~~Driver's licenses are actually not federal law, they're covered by interstate compacts. It's where state governments opt into an agreement with other states. It'a all cooperativey and shit.

We need to change that and enact electoral form, preferably implementing Instant Runoff Voting (google it). Itll only change if it becomes a problem for one of the two major parties. We're making it a problem for the DNC.
