This is a spoof right?

From the policy platform this could be Bernie's VP running mate.

FTA:

- Single-payer national health care.

- Free university level education.

- Ending homelessness.

- Legalizing and regulating personal recreational drug use.

- Shift bulk of electrical generation to solar, wind, hydroelectric, and wave farm.

- Review/Repair/Replace/Remove highways, bridges, dams.

- Upgrade and subsidize metropolitan public transit solutions for the next century.

- Build and subsidize metropolitan high-speed communication networks.

- Ensure a minimum-wage that meets a reasonable cost of living.

- Ensure fair and safe working conditions.

- Ensure global environmental commons protections.

It's about as left wing as it gets. It's not affiliated with IBM so I see a cease and desist in the coming future. Definitely could be Bernie's running mate.

I'm just suspicious IBM would advertise their most publicized technology will run under that platform.

Watson is benevolent and will make everything better. No need to fear the computers taking our jobs. People are even voting in favor of computers running things! No Fear!

It's just a positive platform, that doesn't address divisive issues (abortion, immigration, etc...)
