I like Yang and loved his comment last night that "the entire capitalism-socialism dichotomy is outdated." But he has no chance, neither does Tulsi. But  I'm hoping that both are part of a Sanders administration and help determine how to transfer Blarg's hard-earned cash into my pocket.

Not registered as a Democrat so I can't vote in their primaries. Unfortunately that leaves me with you guys to make the decision as to what my other option is. 

I'll vote for you Blarg. Who should I pick?

Bernie can't even get his climate change straight.

Climate change is a global emergency. The Amazon rainforest is burning, Greenland’s ice shelf is melting, and the Arctic is on fire.

Temperature in Prudhoe Bay today is -43 Fahrenheit, heating up to -22 tomorrow.

There are currently only 1.3 million active servicemen (including reserves) in the US military. Now if he is talking mandatory enlistment for a two to three year term, that would swell the ranks to around 12 million. 

Do these politicians ever do the math before they open their mouths?

Mandatory “service”.  Keep revealing yourself Pete

He doesn't really say, "mandatory" here...

In any case the idea of national service is not new.

Peace Corps, VISTA, AmeriCorps...

Even Obama had an idea for "mandatory" service:

On July 2, 2008, in a speech at Colorado Springs, Barack Obama (as presumptive Democratic Party nominee) made another reference to such legislation when he called for the creation of a nationwide civilian service program, by explaining his vision of a national service program similar to the one he outlined in the MTV/MySpace forum, saying he would make federal assistance to schools contingent to school districts establishing service programs, with a goal of 50 h of service per year for middle school and high school students and 100 h of service per year for college students. He also expanded on his proposed program, calling for all ages to participate in an expansion of existing voluntary national service programs, and creation of new ones, in many areas, such as infrastructure rebuilding, service to the elderly, and environmental cleanup. Obama's entire service program proposal quickly became controversial, largely for being mistaken as a call for a national paramilitary force, though the proposal's only reference to military service was to volunteer participation in regular U.S. Armed Forces, as one activity that would qualify for inclusion under the program's umbrella.

On September 11, 2008, at Columbia University, Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama addressed this further, saying, "But it's also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think it's important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some."[1]
