Why he would make a good president? I mean aside from "I like and agree with him".
Because they didn’t once explain why…?

I’m sorry, that’s not how this works. I never advocated for him once. You are the one who said he:
“[would] make a fucking awful president.”
“[Wouldn’t be] be able to steer the American political system in a way that would benefit most Americans.” As opposed to Trump, his likely opponent…??
“He’d mostly be yet another demagogue, just for the left instead of the right.”
Do you have any sources for those, or are they just baseless opinions, like mine and everyone else’s…?

He helped the New York City first responders get benefits for 9/11 related diseases and injuries and how do you think pays for that?
Taxpayer, that’s who.

Isn’t that what taxes should be used for?

“[Taxpayers] pay for that!” is a very misleading way to phrase it. State, Federal, sales, etc… You do realize they’re going to collect taxes no matter what, yes? I’m not getting them back! And if money already on-hand isn’t used to help literal hero firefighters in the form of the benefits they were promised for saving lives in the wake of the biggest terrorist attack against the country, then what fuck should we spend it on!? Nothing?? It’s fine if you believe that, but it’s a totally different discussion…
