Nope, Doc, this is the best slate of Democratic candidates in my lifetime. All of the abovementioned candidates, have a real progressive belief system and advocate for progressive policies.  That order btw is my current order of preference. 

"progressive belief system"- Now THAT is the most absurd thing you have ever posted here.

Universal Healthcare, Free or low-cost college tuition, a progressive tax system, green energy and so on. Oh, and I almost forgot no more socialism for large corporations and billionaires. New York dodged a bullet when that Amazon deal was cancled. 

Mark has scored a trifecta- three idiotic postings about something he obviously knows nothing about in one day.

Doc, don't tell me you're a conservative socialist? You want to give the wealthiest Corporations and Billionaires free handouts?

What bullet did NYC dodge?

 

What bullet did NYC dodge ?

 

According to a writer for Forbes: "From a purely economic point of view, Amazon was expected to generate $27.5 billion in tax revenue over a 25-year period, 9x the $3 billion government incentives offered. Anyone arguing that $3 billion was an overly excessive offer accidentally chased out $24.5 billion from the city. And that is just the first-order effect.

"If New York City had opened its arms to Amazon, the city would have been rewarded with product, labor and capital benefits."

Oh and there's this: "New York City voters approve 57 - 26%, including 60 - 26% among Queens voters, 'of Amazon locating one of its new headquarters in Long Island City in Queens,' according to a Quinnipiac University Poll released today (15 February - DD)."

So the Big Apple's leadership  i. dodged the impact of billions of extra dollars and ii.  avoided accomplishing something of which the citizens approved.  Not a bad day for the city's political leaders.
