Uhh, Bernie is actually the guy who crashed a lame party saying, "This party sucks with your chip crumbs, watered-down lemonade, and monopoly. I have tequila, stuff to BBQ, and a fresh new mixtape to throw on the stereo - Let's get turnt!" And then the miserable attendees were all, "No. Go away. That sounds dumb."
As my 100th post I'll have to say this a party where they said all the cool kids would show up, and the first cool kid to show up and stay was Bernie who started changing it so when other cool kids showed up they'd stay because he knows how to make a cool party.

Chuck's the guy who recognizes Bernie is the guy who brings the cool kids they said would show up and ruins his friendship with the host because he wants to make the party the tits pajamas because he's worried about the homecoming game's pregame show.

If the title doesn't reference a mustache ride i'll be sorely disappointed.

the reason centrists dislike setting out policy positions is because they don't want to preclude themselves from getting that sweet lobbyist cash

the entire goal is getting into politics to turbocharge your lifetime earnings potential and personal influence over society

So what the gently caress is PP about? Do they just want to keep their special place as the only major national source for semi-public-funded healthcare? If they get behind single-payer or NHS, and it loses, that they will definitely lose funding from either party? Maybe PP is filled with bad actors, because one would think that siding with the nurses unions would be a very good thing for them instead of capitulating so quickly.

I, for one, would like to see some pieces of these bills that they think would be so bad.

there are a few things in play here: the CO single-payer initiative was held the same time as the presidential election, and CO elected dems + "progressive" groups circled the wagon against the initiative; PP throws itself in with bad dems all the time, hence its endorsement of clinton in the primaries; bad dems love themselves some agenda-setting when it serves their needs; and like someone pointed out, with a full-out single-payer system PP would lose its relevance, especially when it comes to the vast majority of its services (hint: not abortions).

granted, the CO initiative never polled well and lost by a landslide, but to what extent that was due to elected pols of both parties (and "progressive" groups) and the local media opposing it, the insurance industry waging a multi-million-dollar ad campaign against it, or the particulars of this legislation is hard to determine.

but it makes me insane when I see lanyards dismiss federal single-payer or legislation like CA's by saying "if people wanted single-payer then the CO initiative wouldn't have failed" or "Vermont tried it and it failed" (no, the dem governor killed it after running for reelection on it, but it was never "tried").

It's almost like like there is big money opposition behind making sure things like higher wages or single payer fail?

extremely hot take: if medicare for all happens and womens health care is covered, then PP loses a shitload of money

uh i just realized, maybe this is why PP, despite having a 100% record for both bernie and hillary, endorsed hillary so brazenly :stare:

i really hope thats not true, bc everyone deserves free access to birth control and contraceptives no matter what

the people that make salaries in PP would be endangered by single payer.
