There's gonna be some streaming town hall thing he's doing for healthcare this Sunday at ourrevolution.com

I wouldn't mind seeing more town hall meetings on major networks with lesser known/new democrats also to help build some public opinion on downticket candidates for 2018.

I 100% clear as day remember George W. Bush telling an old man at a town hall the reason he made it illegal to import drugs from Canada is because he wanted to make sure they're safe. I wish I could find the clip on YouTube.

That and tweeting an article written by Steve Jobs wannabe and national fraudster Elizabeth Holmes.

Hoo boy, if you fuckers nominate Corey Booker in 2020 you deserve 4 terms of President Trump.


^^^Bob Casey is up for re-election in 2018 so that one surprised me. Maybe he isn't worried?

I'm pretty sure these drugs would be re-imported anyway. As in, US pharmaceutical countries make them, Canada buys in bulk at low cost, and then wholesalers reimport them based on that low cost. So they're created under FDA jurisdiction lol.

edit - please correct me if i'm wrong, i haven't read anything substantive on this poo poo

Booker and 12 other Dems voted no, which led to the defeat of Bernie's drug price reform amendment.


Waiting to see very dishonest Hill Folk spin this as a heroic thing.

https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/01/thirteen-democrats-just-stopped-bernie-sanders-ame.html

The same crooked dem senators also accepted large amount of big pharm lobbyist money over the years.

Dishonest!

quote:

Between 2010 and 2016, a handful of the Democratic senators who voted “nay” were amongst the top Senate recipients funded by pharmaceutical companies: Sen. Booker received $267,338; Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) received $254,649; Robert Casey (D-PA) received $250,730; Michael Bennet (D-CO) received $222,000. As the former mayor of Newark, Cory Booker faced corruption scandals and increased crime and unemployment levels as his star power outside the state rose. He is heavily favored by Wall Street, with securities and investment firms donating $1.88 million to Booker during the 2014 midterm elections; their second-favorite candidate was Mitch McConnell.

Why should such bad leadership not be primaried and replacement with good progressive leadership?

I guess this is a good time to bring this up, because Cory Booker is Chabad Lubavitcher, and his friend Rabbi Shmuley (I swear to God that's his real name) is a Steve Bannon sympathizer.

Even aside from the 'gently caress you, corporate slave' side of the argument, this is a really dumb time for Democrats to stand in the way of literally anything that lowers health care costs, now that it's becoming increasingly clear (it was always clear to us) that the Republicans really are going to go through with repealing the ACA and replacing it with "gently caress you".

(Yes, yes, I want Single Payer instead of the half-assed ACA too.)
