Dreylad posted:it's amazing how easy it'd be to break the wrong way the wait time to get a doctors appointment is a lot shorter when half the people in your area can't even afford a yearly checkup healthcare in the US is great if you're really rich. that's why rich people from other countries sometimes fly here to get the elite treatment, instead of going through their own country's single-payer healthcare where they can't cut the line by dispensing more money, can't get caviar in their post-surgery penthouse, and might have to share a hospital room with someone who works for a living

docbeard posted:The thing about Zuckerberg is that he's pretty much a cipher. He could do some good or he could be a monster or he could just be an ineffective plastic leader who rubber-stamps some vaguely progressive stuff while keeping the current power dynamic firmly in place, or he could just flail around uselessly, or he could usher in the technological singularity, or he could be a full-on revolutionary and there's no actual way to know ahead of time. zuck is just gonna be a generic somewhat-neoliberal technocrat who farms out the actual business of coming up with policy to the same flock of aides, consultants, and lobbyists that've been writing Dem policy since 1996 he'll be very slightly center-left on social issues, heavily pro-business, somewhat anti-worker, neutral on poor people in general, and he'll leave the wonks to decide pretty much everything else for him (i.e., status quo or whatever the highest and best-connected bidder wants)

David Yankovich is a regular guy. He’s not rich. He’s not famous. He’s not a politician. He just recently moved to Wisconsin (from Russia).

Raskolnikov38 posted:anyhow i realize we have all been too hard on hillary. the democratic party was moribund going into the 2016 primary and generals, and hillary through her perseverance and unwavering commitment to her goals, drove the final stake into this god forsaken party. and for this we should be eternally grateful If Hillary had won, we'd all still be with Her while republicans pickup a veto proof majority in 2018. At least now we know how much democrats suck.

Even if Hillary's electoral strategy had worked 100% as planned the downticket would be hosed by itbecause every single suburban Republican you flip to keep Trump out of the White House will still happily vote for your McConnells or your Gianfortes or your Handels on the same goddamn ballot
