The last 30 pages have been jerking off over how they totally wish Steve Scalise had died.

God forbid we make some jokes and troll people who think 5 million people per year (half a holocaust) were dying in 2008 from being uninsured.

if someone is denying the holocaust either they're trolling or they're irredeemably evil. you can't have a serious conversation in either case, and anyone trying is a fool.

Me too, but it doesn't stop me. There is even a tampermonkey/greasemonkey script that will hide quoted posts of people on your ignore list as well. highly recommended for people that actually want to debate and discuss instead of react to trolls all the time.

I'm just very concerned about myself and, moreover, my friends and family who are even less well off than I am and how we will manage to survive the coming years if our healthcare is stripped. We are talking about the murder of [a great many] people to line the pockets of some of the worst sacks of poo poo to ever blight this planet. I think it's understandable I might get a bit worked up.

He's on a gold plan from the Washington, D.C. exchange.

He has a $1,500 deductible, premium subsidy from the OMB health plan, and 10% coinsurance for a specialist or an emergency visit to an out-of-network provider.

His pre-existing conditions would be covered under HIPAA and I can't reveal them.

I can understand him being pissed and wanting blood. His 10 year old son was there and hid from the shooter.

Still a really stupid loving thing to say in the current political climate, but slightly understandable all things considered.

It is definitely cool and good to talk about how awful the AHCA is, and pin as much of that blame on the Republican party as we can.

But you really shouldn't argue numbers that you're completely, totally making up like that - it just weakens your position, and any persuadable people* who see it might dismiss all concerns about it because of an "obviously not true" number, and then they're no longer persuadable.

The strength of leftist positions over most rightest ones is being backed up by empirical data/actual scholarship, we don't have to spin stories to have the better argument.
