Thank you for the reminder

I heard part of this and was surprised to find myself liking the candidate and his views, but later on I came back to a more balanced view (taking into account that all candidates are good at putting their best foot forward and trying to make a sale) so fwiw, my thoughts were:

• liked the recognition that we are headed toward mass elimination of jobs, and use of the bullypulpit to ignite and continue the discussion.
• universal basic income of $1000/month (if I understood) comes from where now? That's quite a bit of money. I think this not only would lead to some sort of drastic violation of freedom, or put in other words would amount to some sort of violation of our constitution, but is not close to practicable/sustainable. That's just my initial guess.
• So, to connect this a bit to the socialism of Sanders, I really can't say I supported it, in the end, BUT some of his views were refreshing enough such that I could have voted for him over the proposed fascist anti-Constitutional bullying views of some of the Repub candidates, and hoped that for the most part the presidency of someone overtly advocating statism/socialism would emphasize airing of views and not full implementation of their less viable or defensible proposals.
• I liked hearing a dark horse being given a platform to discuss things calmly, and while some of his views are arguably fringe, the Repub party gets a massive "fail" from me as to the quality of all of its candidates, and the Dem party usually not doing much better, so it was great just to be reminded that there are probably many flawed-but-good candidates out there.
• coming back to the thought-provoking conversation on coming job loss, I think this was really interesting and hope that the conversation continues with this candidate and others. It calls into question a number of assumptions and points, including assumptions around the long-term viability of our overall economy as presently structured.
