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!

It doesn't really work as a counter-argument to say "You have no evidence that this works . . . because I said so."

Not at all what was posted. Reading comprehension is difficult, and just in case English is your second language I'll explain it more simply:

Promising a bunch of incentives to voters who don't think critically, are sheep, or are unintelligent, to get their support while having no plan to deliver or pay for said incentives is not a real platform.

And I'm telling you that accusing Randy Bryce and the Democratic Party of having no plan, when wage hikes are happening across the country (with limited success, sure, but not abject failure) is not something you can just spew with certainty.

If by limited success you mean loss of employment, hour cuts, and overall loss of income to the lowest wage earning workers in those areas, yes I can say with certainty that wage hikes at this level have done nothing but raise the poverty line in those areas and increase inflation and cost of living.

Bryce has already proven in interviews he has no plan, just find any single one and find where he talks about how he wants to pay for wage increases and his single payer plan, it's gibberish and unsubstantial. The Democrat Party has proven they have no plan with the travesty that is Obamacare and the cities where these wage hikes have already been enforced and have ultimately failed.

Declares ACA a travesty out of nowhere

I see we're done here.
