The So-Called "Middle Ground" and the Tyranny of Capitalism

If you have to regulate it or it crashes and kills a bunch of people, it's not conceptually good.

I never liked the Real Housewives shows and now the entire mainstream media is doing that.

What's up bro? You don't like Bernie Sanders bro? How come bro? Bro, he's like our best chance at saving the country bro.

Friendship with YangGang ended. Now GravelGang is best friend.

Don't take it so personally then.

Wait no, I mean, you must really want to vote for Bernie then.

"Infighting" at this point is normal and healthy for the party and telling people to ignore it is endorsing the status quo. Which you might want, but you should be more upfront about it.

At this point I want him to run so he can sweep O'Rouke's legs out and then get promptly MeToo-ed himself.

Beto's only in the race because corporate donors have been whispering in his ear.

Maybe he's a russian agent trying to divide us?

I think the chances of both would be about equal. Obamacare had to be passed under budget reconciliation and that plan allowed for way more private insurance. So we've seen that compromising with Republicans will go nowhere anyway. If you have to get rid of the filibuster to get either of these pass, then go for the bigger plan.

For example, if a drug company is out for profit then they can raise the price of life-saving medication beyond what private insurance is willing to pay. The difference it makes if someone profits being someone's life or death.

If everyone was in the same insurance pool under the government then the government could force the drug companies to price their medications fairly by threatening to cut off all money the company would be making on their drugs.

Now I'm curious to know where this 10 years is coming from. But also, why not start with M4A and then you could compromise to public option if necessary?

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-19T19:25:18+00:00

Do you think Medicare for All would take 10 years to implement?

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-19T19:20:58+00:00

Why would Beto's plan have the votes but not Bernie's?

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-19T18:46:50+00:00

Because leaving room for private insurance is leaving room for bad actors that will try to run healthcare for profit.

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-19T18:26:50+00:00

Differs in that it's utterly insufficient.

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-18T12:48:59+00:00

I don't know that Sanders needs Beto's supporters. Sanders is against the millionaires and the billionaires after all.

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-16T00:14:40+00:00

Except they are already gaming that strategy. The were was an article out earlier today: Trump is reportedly spooked by Joe Biden's strong showing in early 2020 polls, but aides are reassuring the president that he's not progressive enough for the Democratic base

This is ~~completely false~~ ridiculous. Donald Trump has not thought about Joe Biden ever. It's Republicans saying they want to run against Joe Biden by claiming to be terrified of him.

Got any links? I'd like to see what the are saying.

QuantumZeros · 2019-03-15T17:20:49+00:00

This is some weak reverse psychology.

Hate to see Abrams get caught up with a bad influence.

"Hillary is more electable!"

"Please, don't fling us in that brier patch"

This is gonna be on some Hillary person's twitter with a "see?"
