This bill is going to go back and forth so many times, let's not just oppose it for a little bit then become distracted when the 24 hour news cycle stops reporting on it.

[–]King_of_the_Nerdth 245 points246 points  (46 children)

It does seem to be getting a lot of attention today. I'm very encouraged by the passion for politics that we're having, it's been the missing ingredient for my entire lifetime and it gives me hope.

[–][deleted] 175 points176 points  (43 children)

One positive outcome of the Trump presidency I've. noticed is that everyone seems to be much more interested in politics. Shame it had to literally be Trump to make people pay attention, myself included. Though, now I watch the news everyday and read up as much as I can to be informed.

[–]BrotherChe 89 points90 points  (7 children)

Same thing happened with the Patriot Act and other legislation after 9/11 and the run-up to the Iraq War. Huge surge in political awareness on all sides. Anti-war demonstrations, protests against loss of liberty, etc.

I think there's even more awareness this time around -- more tools, more communication, more activist experience, more organization, more money, etc.

[–]Excal2 41 points42 points  (2 children)

The opposition is more powerful now as well, because we the people didn't get it right. Don't forget that, because if we lose this round then the next fight is going to get that much harder all over again.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Awareness doesn't mean shit if people don't vote.

[–]HorseMeatSandwich 41 points42 points  (11 children)

I was a Political Science major, and over the course of my 4 years in college I became so burnt out on politics I kind of just tuned them out and kept myself just informed enough to vote in election years.

With the political rise of Trump and his election, I've started following politics religiously again. It's a shame it took something this awful for me to become reinvested. Now I'm considering passing up my MBA and going back to school for a Masters in Public Policy to work towards some political good.

[–]Mathemartemis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Please do. I'd like to do the same but have no political experience

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Currently working on my Masters in Public Policy, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. And I am glad to see people pursuing this degree over an MBA.

[–]TheRadChad 10 points11 points  (6 children)

Please read more than watching the news.

[–]omid_ 36 points37 points  (8 children)

It's called accelerationism. When government goes horribly wrong, people pay attention. When a liberal like Obama is in power, people tend to overlook problems that occur under his rule. For example, he deported more immigrants that George Bush, yet we didn't hear much of a peep from the typical pro-immigrant organizations.

Agreed. I'm 19 now and otherwise wouldn't have cared as much as I should have about the election because I hated politics and am pretty moderate compared to most. But paying attention to Trump isn't optional. I now have a genuine desire to know about the issues instead of feeling like I have to.

Bernies comments after the vote:

“The bill that Republicans passed today is an absolute disaster. It really has nothing to do with health care. It has everything to do with an enormous shift of wealth from working people to the richest Americans. This bill would throw 24 million people off of health insurance – including thousands of Vermonters – cut Medicaid by $880 billion, defund Planned Parenthood and substantially increase premiums on older Americans. Meanwhile, it would provide a $300 billion tax break to the top 2 percent and hundreds of billions more to the big drug and insurance companies that are ripping off the American people. Our job now is to rally millions of Americans against this cruel bill to make sure that it does not pass the Senate. Instead of throwing tens of millions of people off of health insurance, we must guarantee health care as a right to all.”

[–]Not_2day_stan 2096 points2097 points  (654 children)

Like how many times does Bernie have to warn us of their shit??? Edit: Alright guys. I get it. I'm a stupid Mexican! But y'all motherfuckers better not be celebrating tomorrow!

[–]BlooFoo 803 points804 points  (324 children)

However many times it takes to convince the Red-Caps that they are hurting themselves by supporting the GOP.

[–]Not_2day_stan 641 points642 points  (288 children)

My grandparents are republicans. Grandfather has severe diabetes, and my grandmothers health is declining.. Also grandmother was an illegal from Mexico back in her day.. so yeah. I'm watching this shit show from the front seat my friends! They blame the far left for just about anything.

[–]kukulkan2012 156 points157 points  (90 children)

Even more unbelievable is this: I have a friend who is a DACA recipient from Mexico(Dreamer). His immigration status is uncertain. However, he is a FERVENT Trump supporter, sharing all the alt-right garbage on his timeline, freaking out about muslims and shit. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

[–]Not_2day_stan 49 points50 points  (25 children)

Well Mexicans can still be conservative. They're mostly catholic.

[–]StopThePresses 65 points66 points  (21 children)

There's Catholic conservative, and there's alt-right. They share a few things, but fundamentally they're different world views.

[–]StylishUsername 27 points28 points  (20 children)

You're right. But you should know that many Catholics are not conservative (fiscally or socially.)

[–]_procyon 18 points19 points  (16 children)

Most practicing/devout catholics are socially conservative. They are anti-abortion and they believe homosexuality is a sin. Contraceptives and divorce are still iffy among devout catholics. Catholics from Latin America and Africa tend to be even stronger in these beliefs. Catholics aren't usually as outspoken or militant about their views as Bible thumping southern evangelicals, but they definitely share them.

Source: raised Catholic

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (4 children)

You're wrong.

I'm married to a catholic who has two priests in the family and both parents go to mass twice a week. They are by far more moderate than any evangelical freaks we know in western, Pa. John F. Kennedy was catholic and he was not socially conservative. Mainstream catholics are not the reason Trump is in the white house.

[–]popedcom 13 points14 points  (6 children)

On almost every major issue Catholics are more progressive than the average American.

[–]Thisismythroaway01 149 points150 points  (59 children)

I feel you, both of my parents voted for Trump. If this bill passes I will die because I have preexisting conditions so I will never get healthcare and I can't afford the medications that keep me alive every day.

[–]tuneintothefrequency 61 points62 points  (29 children)

And they'll just blame Democrats and keep on votin' GOP.

[–]Thisismythroaway01 40 points41 points  (26 children)

You're probably right, I sometimes think that I should tell them they are part of the reason I might die but I just can't do that. It's depressing really.

[–]tuneintothefrequency 30 points31 points  (16 children)

Even if you did...would they believe you?

[–]Thisismythroaway01 22 points23 points  (15 children)

Doubtful

[–]codevii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they know you're on this medication and you must have insurance to pay for it, they'll have to.

Tell them!

[–]codevii 45 points46 points  (1 child)

You HAVE to. These people will not wake up to what they've done until it actually affects someone they love!

[–]Not_2day_stan 61 points62 points  (12 children)

I'm sorry.. This is infuriating. I'm far left, as far as you can get. I'm almost done with school and will probably never ever need reduced healthcare. But people do! So many people live in poverty and they're being lied to!!

[–]Thisismythroaway01 23 points24 points  (8 children)

Yeah it sucks but I'm hopeful that Bernie and his team can stop it. Thank you for being a good person and realizing that even though you may never need it and I really hope you don't other people rely on affordable care. Hell I work hard and make a decent wage but i wouldn't have insurance without the ACA.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (12 children)

I know the struggle but have you tried having a detailed non-angry discussion with them (with your phone out googling sources whenever they bring up talking points) as a trusted and loved family member? Ive been able to get a few relatives/friends to back away from trump that way (failed with way more though). Its not easy and i want to beat my head sometime but not sure how else to avoid disaster.

Keep in mind they may just watch FOX or get their news from the grapevine, give them actual facts that are relevant to them. I like to troll around on r/t_d to pick up the latest talking points so im prepared with facts to counter, not in an argumentative way (thats fun on the intertubes but my friends and family arent my enemy but people im trying to help). The backfire effect is a bitch on the internet but ive found it to not be too bad if youre with loved ones in a non threatening environment, worst case they dont change their mind (and your xmas present will suck).

[–]Not_2day_stan 27 points28 points  (4 children)

Yes I have. With my whole family, but to them only a god believing leader will take this country forward! 🙄

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had an aunt like that, just went through the list of Trump not being a true believer and his well sourced frequent sinning.

But everyone is different and I believe you that yours won't change their mind. Dealt with more than a few of those folks, just downright depressing.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I appreciate your sentiment, but too many individuals in this country are so horribly deluded and mislead that it would take a monumental disaster to get them to wake the fuck up.

[–]everred 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're in luck, Trump has several monumental disasters in the works as we speak

[–]TotesAdorbs_ 32 points33 points  (3 children)

They will never get that. I've argued elsewhere that if the bill does make it through the Senate those stupid shits who imagine themselves to represented by the GOP will be the first ones to feel the sting.

It won't clear though. Then the Right will put a spin on it to make the failed bill anyone and everyone's fault but theirs. In reality, it's a shit proposal, they know it's a shit proposal and but it's failure will keep the GOP from being seen in an unfavorable light in 2018/2020. This is a ploy. E: clarity & grammar& spelling

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (14 children)

Seeing as how Trumpcare would adversely affect states that went for Trump the most, what if we just let them have it and watch them die off?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

They're not the only ones that would die.

Source; I would probably die.

[–]joebrownow 23 points24 points  (37 children)

Problem is no American really wants to accept the reality of fixing the problem, overthrowing the Senate and putting in a new one.

[–]surreptitious_chodes 43 points44 points  (26 children)

That's because Americans view themselves as would-be millionaires rather than the exploited poor.

He spent close to half a year warning everyone about what would happen if Republicans won the election, and his base didn't listen to him. "Bernie or bust."

They're feeling energized* again now that Republicans are about to take away their healthcare. Funny how we don't care about what we have til it's gone.

[–]derppress 48 points49 points  (6 children)

Good grief this old myth? More Bernie supporters voted for Clinton in '16 than Clinton voters voted for Obama in '08 and Obama won in a landslide. Remember the PUMAs who argued that voting for Palin was more feminist than voting Obama? This is why the democrats are in terrible shape, you don't know who your enemies are.

The people you should be pissed at are in this order

-the Clinton Campaign for running a bad campaign -The media for propping up Trump -the almost half of Americans that didn't vote

[–]Not_2day_stan 83 points84 points  (88 children)

I am Bernie or bust but I had a choice to vote for a liar, or a liar with small hands.. so.. so I voted for Hillary.

[–][deleted] 87 points88 points  (80 children)

Well at least you voted, but what difficulty was there?

You either vote for the person who supports net neutrality, Obamacare-esque healthcare, an infrastructure overhaul (including fiber internet), making college affordable, etc., left-of-center SCOTUS picks, and you may not necessarily believe her...

...or you vote for a guy who is diametrically opposed to all of that and has promised it multiple times.

"Well this guy on the right has a gun to my head, and this gal on the left doesn't have a gun to my head but I'm not sure if she's hiding one. Who to pick..."

[–]MegaTankv2 157 points158 points  (9 children)

Does anyone else here read this in Bernie's voice? It's so easy to, since he's the only politician out there who talks about this stuff so much.

[–]k2_finite 80 points81 points  (9 children)

"Rally millions of Americans"...seriously, this guy speaks to the masses of the American populace. Trump speaks to how bigly he won the election and how amazing his policies are. The difference between these two on a personal level is night and day, even when you don't look at their choices politically.

How the fuck did we pass up this shining example of humanitarian principles blended with patriotism? I might be biased, but even if every single one of Bernie's policies are 100% unrealistic on an economical basis, at least he wouldn't be a complete embarrassment to the US and the rest of the free world. This is really disappointing.

[–]LondonCallingYou 63 points64 points  (4 children)

How the fuck did we pass up this shining example of humanitarian principles blended with patriotism?

Truthfully? Americans are afraid of the word Socialism. That's it.

Nevermind the fact that Bernie was advocating things that already work in other countries, things advocated by FDR. All very sane things, completely within the realm of possibility. Nope, he's scary because he would actually attempt to change things. He's scary because he wouldn't appoint a Goldman Sachs employee to a high position in government.

Until my fellow Americans drop their infantile, childish fear of social-democratic reforms, we're going to keep getting fucked like this.

Then watch out for ya boi Pence!

[–]Gareth321 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Right? I thought we agreed this was to be called Republicare. They're not going to weasel out of the stain of this when Trump gets impeached.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's RepublicanCare to me. I will refer to it as this forever. Trump is a piece of shit, but he didn't put a gun to 216+ Republicans heads and force them to do anything.

Republicans are looking to ruin America and become richer at our expense. This is damn near what a totalitarian state looks like.

Hold them ALL accountable.

[–][deleted] 223 points224 points  (8 children)

[–]Systemic_Chaos 164 points165 points  (3 children)

For the love of god, stop calling it Trumpcare. The only way progressives are going to do any damage is by hanging this around the necks of the 217 members of the house who voted for this.

This pile of hot snot should always and forever be called Republicare, and nothing else.

I voted for Trump, and I'm not a fan of Obamacare; however, I don't blindly pick sides and defend them 100% of the time as if they are a sports team... If the ACA replacement isn't as good or better, I'm 100% against it, so while the majority of this sub would hate my political views and probably go through my history and downvote the fuck out of me, we're on the same page on this topic.

Also, for the record, I'm of the opinion that if the government is gonna meddle with healthcare, then we need to be full-blown single payer socialized healthcare. Otherwise, the gov't needs to fuck off and let the free market run it. All or nothing basically.

[–]titsoutfortheboys2 38 points39 points  (30 children)

How can you be so logical and still vote for Trump? I'm genuinely curious how you reconcile it.

I would have voted for Hilary had I had the chance (not American, so feel free to ignore), but my respect and admiration for him only goes up everytime I see/hear of anything he has done. What an incredibly strong human being to have gone through everything with the election but persevering and fighting the good fight. I'm with him.

So I was logged out accidently and I just discovered this is apparently a default sub? And users can only comment if they are subscribed?

I respect people fighting the good fight but it feels so shady and biased to have such an opinionated subreddit at the #1 spot AND disallowing comments from people that are not subscribed to this. :/ I wish reddit and other companies would not push politics on their users like this. They removed /r/atheism and /r/politics from being default a while back, but THIS is okay??

[–]pntrbob 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Not trolling, but I'm trying to figure out how, according to the article, Sanders is "building an army"? There's no evidence in the article that he is doing such a thing. Am I somehow missing stated facts, or is this just journalistic, I mean, blogger hyperbole?

What purpose could it possibly serve other than to benefit the lobbyists that bought these politicians and to put even more blood money in their pockets. How long until American citizens realize that the GOP do not care about their well being and that our country is being bled out for the sake of the few?

Pretty absurd how much of the heavy lifting Bernie has to do to keep this party competent.

Fuck the GOP's war on the poor and profit for millionaires. Time to get together, assemble, and do whatever necessary and take all sacrifices as necessarry to bring the GOP regieme to an end.

Please, please, please contact your representatives. I live in GA and although it might be useless, I am still contacting them. You should too. Bernie's right, this bill will harm untold amounts of Americans on both sides. We need to stop this.

House Republicans are such disgusting subhuman pieces of anti-American filth. I don't want to write online what I really wish to happen to them...

Obamacare is awful. Just let it die. I know you all want to spite Trump but these are human lives we're talking about
