Umm...so what are his plans? What is his platform? Criticism is not a platform.

Sure sounds familiar; like 2016 right?

That said, it took me all of a 5 second google search to find out his stances, which, unsurprisingly, mirror his father's.

Can you post a link to his platform/stances? Because we in New Hampshire have yet to see it.

That said, I do think his website should go into further detail, and I very much hope he does going forward.

I know about the official website. He's had it out for a few months but doesn't have any platform in there to speak of.

Here's the website of the guy I think is going to win the primary. He's got all his platform and stances laid out.

Looks pretty good to me on the whole; I'm impressed.

I do think singlepayer is the best policy concerning healthcare, but I certainly think his goals collectively would be a massive step forward.

I would like to see support for a job guarantees program, especially as it relates to infrastructure spending/maintenance.

On campaign finance reform, solid first steps, but I feel he also needs to pay attention to the root of the problem: the disastrous Buckley v Valeo 76 SCOTUS ruling which asserted money/political spending is speech: this is what truly demands a constitutional amendment; Citizens United is merely an outgrowth and symptom of that.

What are his stances on marijuana legalization? I couldn't find them.

Outside of these things, I love his platform.

Good question on the marijuana issue. I don't know. I'll see if I can find out.

We're moving towards marijuana friendly in NH so it wouldn't shock me if he was pro-legalization.

It appears you do not know the meaning of the word.

Webster's definition of fascism, so that you might become informed: "A philosophy or governmental system marked by stringent socioeconomic control, a strong central government usually headed by a dictator, and often a belligerently nationalistic policy."

The shoe fits.

His solution, is what? Tax the rich and offer crumbs to the poor, make sure they know who to thank for their extra stuff they get voting the "democrat party" way?

Their policies are always the same. Take from the rich, give to the poor, and royally screw the middle class.
