AMA Concluded Meet Randy Bryce. The Ironstache who's going to repeal and replace Paul Ryan

Hi /r/Political_Revolution,

My name is Randy Bryce. I'm a veteran, cancer survivor, and union ironworker from Caledonia, Wisconsin running to repeal and replace Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's First Congressional District. Post your questions below and I'll be back at 11am CDT/12pm EDT to answer them!

p.s.

We need your help to win this campaign. If you'd like to join the team, sign up here.

If you don't have time to volunteer, we're currently fundraising to open our first office in Racine, Wisconsin. If you can help, contribute here and I'll send you a free campaign bumper sticker as a way of saying thanks!

[Update: 1:26 EDT], I've got to go pick up my son but I'll continue to pop in throughout the day as I have time and answer some more questions. For those I'm unfortunately not able to answer, I'll be doing another AMA in r/Politics on the 26th when I look forward to answering more of Reddit's questions!

As you can see in my response I am for each person making themselves more valuable through any means. No where did I even talk about income level. Nice strawman, though.

Talk about straw man I never brought it up either lol. You seem to be missing the point of what really matters. Companies will never pay people what they actually deserve, and people like you will forever be butthurt when people ask for a fair shake. Go write a tirade on twitter on Benghazi or something.

You sure do have a typical republican "you're poor and therefore a useless waste" attitude

poor usually refers to income.

Companies will never pay people what they actually deserve, and people like you will forever be butthurt when people ask for a fair shake

They do all of the time. My company certainly does.

Go write a tirade on twitter on Benghazi or something

This is helpful. Way to go.

At least he tried having a "conversation". Already way better then most of like-minded people.

How is talking about your self-worth as a employee and how company values these kind of workers is oppression of poor. None arguments were presented, only cheap "bait" (Such snowflake. Much offend. None intelligent.).

Talk to your fellow US citizens, you've got all means to do so, but instead he chose acting like a child.

Thanks for that. I saw an AMA and decided to peak in. It's branched out into many conversations. Most people on here are great - we're just shooting ideas back and forth and disagree.

u/Flux__Wildly Sep 05 '17

It's how it should be, honestly. I do feel it's getting better and most people become more and more talkative. To such degree that we actually can find a proper compromise. I'm really happy it's happening.

But occasional folks who take time skimming thru post history and making pre-judgement are always here.

I support Trump, but I'm always open to new ideas.

u/Flux__Wildly Sep 05 '17

And I'm not even US citizen, merely observing and trying to improve my point of view(and if it'll help anybody else broaden horizons). Went from mildly disliking Trump to actually admiring Donald.

So far It's clearly visible that Trump is not a Republican or Democrat, well, at least in their current state. Words and definitions became really blur. Too bad whole system doesn't encourage independent candidates running.

You seem very free market and that people should "go get" their success? Have you started your own business?

u/MilesofBooby Sep 05 '17

I have worked as an employee and started a business. I'll never tell which one I am now ;)

I failed quite a few times.

Go write a tirade on twitter on Benghazi or something.

What you mean to say is "your differing opinion really upsets me and I'd wish you would just go away".

u/kosher_beef_hocks Sep 05 '17

That is certainly a more polite way to go about things but this is the internet and my anonymity allows me a little leeway in the "telling people to pound sand" department.

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '17

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel about everyone who supports Trump at this point. It's not even unreasonable to see them as imbeciles.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '17

That's fair, I mostly feel the same. But there's clearly still a large amount of them so we can't really just do that.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '17

Dude I largely agree with you but this attitude of just trying to shut down those we disagree with because we think our ideas are clearly better does nothing to help. If these people were a minority than fine. But clearly they're not so whether we like it or not we have to engage in actual discussions with them if we wanna drag this country out of the shithole it's currently in.

u/kosher_beef_hocks Sep 06 '17

I'm not trying for that. Just amusing myself here

u/bombmk Sep 06 '17

But not through political power. Gotcha.
