Ytlaya posted:Um, ThisIsWhyTrumpWon is kinda correct about that graph being disingenuous. If you want to make the point better, there's no reason not to just compare deaths caused by inadequate health care (since the whole health-related* reason lack of insurance is bad is that it results in people not getting care). It's mildly misleading, but that's a bit of a jump from calling "the biggest bullshit chart in the world."

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:BTW just personally I've watched my parents go from Clinton voters to full on right-wing Republicans in the last 6 years. They both have teacher's pensions that new teachers don't have access to, which is *delightful* and really sums it all up, don't you think? The US has a right-wing propaganda problem and until it is addressed nothing is ever going to get better.

Nancy Pelosi gave an interview on Pod Save America earlier today and it's heartening that at least some of the leadership seem to get it. She went on to talk about how Hillary won when she talked about her economic policies and how Hillary lost when she made it all about Trump. For the healthcare fight she said democrats should push to expand the age covered by Medicare to 55 and up and allow other Americans to buy into it as a public option. Furthermore Pelosi claimed she was for the states taking the baseline of the new federal public option and experimenting with single payer. Do you think this is a sign the establishment realized they can't run the same old "Trump Bad" campaign after Ossof?

Pelosi and Schumer need to be removed from office. They are both full of poo poo and up to their eyeballs in big pharma & United Health buyouts.

Pelosi and most of the old guard Democrats need to leave now. You have no reason to be encouraged by her tepid support of incremental health care reform.

A lack of non-joke third parties is a consequence of FPTP, not a cause of it.
