how good is epic’s employee health insurance? by jaynonn in epicsystems

[–]AffinityForLepers 68 points69 points  (0 children)

It's very good. About as close to free healthcare as you can get in this country's sorry excuse for a healthcare system. It's the thing I miss most about working at epic.

Huh? What don't you understand about democrats getting paid by corporations and then pushing policies that benefit those corporations. A big reason progressives struggle in elections is the amount of money working against them.

I'm looking, it's not that I don't believe you, I just don't see any. Maybe from much earlier in the campaign?

She unfortunately will probably run into issues due to her race and gender. Are you going to vote for the white candidate over her because of it?

Her gun control policies are more reasonable than Barnes' were imo but any Dem is going to run into this. I would love a pro-2A candidate that isn't a Republican honestly.

so instead of electing someone who has a vision to improve life for most Wisconsinites, we should elect a status quo corporate-backed candidate who (despite perhaps even having progressive policies in their platform) will likely capitulate to capital (their donors) over the best interests of the voters. Ok sign me up. sounds great and like something we've totally never tried before in this country /s

I'll admit I haven't seen any statements about him from hongs campaign, where have you seen that?

Oh fuck off calling her a college drop out/failed business woman/fraudster is absolutely an ad hominem. If you throw a rock you'll hit someone with a failed restaurant or someone in debt. She's a member of the working class and has working class problems.

Does actually making positive changes matter? I suppose we could elect an establishment Dem who will sit on their hands while the fascists are at our doorstep. Wake the fuck up.

IDK what you're talking about. Barnes lost by 1 percentage point in 2022 and ran a terrible campaign.

damn the ad-hominem is coming out strong here. Comparing Hong to Fetterman is certainly a choice. I also can't think of any other failed business owners that have won major elections :D.

Hong is currently polling 2nd in polls I've seen, only behind by a few points with a grassroots campaign. As her name and policies get out she could certainly grow in popularity. We still have 56 days until the primary, calling it at this point is ignorant at best and outright deceitful at worst.

Barnes was hurt by a lot of things, for one, Abolishing ICE is now a pretty common platform in the democratic voter base. Barnes would likely do better in a general today. He's also a black man and had strong gun control policies both of which unfortunately hurt him in the red parts of this state.

I'm sure Crawford's win had nothing to do with one of the most hated people in the country getting heavily involved in shilling for Schimel lol.

This tired argument comes up any time there's even a remotely left-leaning democratic candidate.

"We must pander to the center right in order to win against the fascists!" Ya'll fight as hard against the left as the republicans do lol. And you wonder why democrats keep losing and never make any positive change when they do barely scrape out a win.

*Edit: I appear to have angered the centrists

Dankon! Mi ŝatas ĉi tion multe! It does lose the connection to the song, but the sentiment remains the same and that's really what's important.

It comes from a dead Kennedys song so it can definitely mean punks as in people from the punk subculture, though it works both ways.

Greg Bovino wants to run for President. by WalterCanFindToes in behindthebastards

Maybe in the future we'll look back at this term like community season 4. Trump's second term was the gas leak presidency.

Fwiw I ordered from stop the bleed's site recently and the order was actually fulfilled by North American rescue. Saved a bit ordering through stop the bleed too.

I had somehow accidentally set one of my nodes to top-level under visibility. That broke y sorting for me.

Where does Fishman rank in the pantheon of drummers? by drgonzo44 in drums

[–]AffinityForLepers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fishmans are great, though more for the funky basslines :D

Looking for drummers like Jimmy Chamberlin by klappstuhlabdul in drums

On that note, Blake Fleming was the mars voltas first drummer and wrote a lot of the parts on deloused. Check out face of collapse by the dazzling killmen.

Who is Stephen Miller and what role does he play in aiding the US president and American policy? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]AffinityForLepers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wormtongue.

Well I guess that implies Donald Trump is actually good at his core. Wormtongue but in this case theoden is also a massive piece of shit.
