You're right, voting for an obvious lying conman who has no goddamn clue about politics in the slightest and has every intention to gently caress you over because reading is hard, is definitely a smart and savvy person.

And it does say a lot that calling out people repeating Breitbart crap is treated as worse than doing it. Gee, wherever have I seen that?

If they had said what Frijolero claims they said, yeah. Good thing they exist in reality, not your incoherent haze of rage against the Clinton's.

But I'm sure you are totally consistent that Politifact is always a bastion of objective credibility. So you'll agree that Romney and Ryan wanting to destroy medicare really was the biggest lie of 2012.

Daughter of Privilege posted:

Hitting the campaign trail on her mother’s behalf, Chelsea Clinton attacked Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ universal health care plan.

"Sen. Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance," Clinton said in New Hampshire Jan. 12. "I don't want to empower Republican governors to take away Medicaid, to take away health insurance for low-income and middle-income working Americans. And I think very much that's what Sen. Sanders' plan would do."

By your logic we shouldn't trust anything the New York Times says because of their often conservative view points. Christ I prefer snopes but Politifact will do in a pinch

Have you ever considered that people might rightfully be angry at the Clintons for their actions in the 90s making life pretty loving hard for people on welfare and continuing that legacy of dismantling the public good for private profit. Christ I voted for Clinton cause what I thought the unlikely case was too horrible to imagine. But she failed us, in her hubris she failed us. I'm sorry that I also don't look forward to the sons and daughters of our current politicians becoming the newest members of the ruling class based on family names. We're not supposed to have an aristocracy why the gently caress are you obsessed with having one? We must forever be haunted by the names of the politicians of my childhood. It'll be too loving soon if I ever have to see the names Clinton or Bush involved in American politics again it'll be too loving soon

And of course, just keeppretending the part you didn't bold somehow fails to exist, how Sanders plan could have allowed Republican governors to refuse to implement a replacement for Medicare when Sanders legislation removed it on the federal level. But what would ever make us think Republicans might try to not implement medicare just to score political points?

Yes, I do know that people demonize the Clinton's for having to deal with political reality. We discussed that last page.

A group of Senate Democrats is beginning to explore trying to extract concessions from Republicans in return for allowing Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch to be confirmed, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

A group is beginning to explore trying. The two Senators named are Manchin and Coons.

quote:

Another ambitious possibility: Some Democrats want to confirm Gorsuch only with an agreement that another justice retire and is replaced with Garland. The idea has almost no chance of success. But it’s being pushed by Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.), who said that there’s too much “distrust” in the Senate to believe Republicans are willing to make a deal on a future vacancy, so they must make a deal now on Garland.

This is all just spitballing, it isn't Chuck Schumer's secret strategy.

I think that since 98% of the people who are respected in America make more than $200,000 a year, that argument is gonna fall flat on its face the second you try it to the point Republicanswon't even need to respond.

You could try to in any loving way refine the argument by allowing that being rich is not a sin, but thinking the rich should not have to pay taxes is, but then that would mean you cannot attack Dems as much. Can't have that.

And that's why Republican efforts to demonize the poor among the poor has always, always, failed. They definitely didn't do the barest amount of messaging refinement to allow demonization of the poor without implicating people that individual Republicansrespected.

What? Lazy moochers? Nah, impossible, they never said that. They always, every single time, said the words "the poor".
