bad dems have already made it clear they won't pass singlepayer, and they claim they'll go for public option, so lets expose that as a lie too!

bad dems support nothing but letting the poor die under a decaying government

All 58 democratic senators (and Bernie) voted for the public option.

some real impressive suck zoning from mpb


personally i think the dems should be throwing everything at the wall to see what sicks, getting more crazy people and minor celebrities into office, the cautious approach looks to voters like inaction, and they don't lose just on "raised taxes" they lose on "raised taxes with no visible direct benefit" which isn't something you can really say for single payer healthcare or a gmi or other extreme measures they're gonna need to start taking to prop up capitalism

yeah; if dems were serious about single-payer, they'd be pointing out the difference between a static & modest tax increase and the rate of increases in deductibles, co-pays and insurance premiums over the past few years.

You should not assume things when they are not said.

Obsession in bringing up people's skin color to justify judging them ain't good no matter who you are.

You can't solve a societal problem by perpetuating the problem from a different angle.
It's the reason our politics are garbage between the two parties today.


And in the end if you do have to judge someone, there's plenty of reasons to judge them aside from an uncontrollable trait due to the act of being born.

It's because people are the same
All People are generally garbage.

amazing how the dems wanted public option so much it wasn't part of hillary's platform. like at all. doubly amazing how the dems can never do anything, ever, for anyone. even when they have supermajorities in government they can't do anything.

that and loudly shouting how many people die from/are ruined by completely preventable illnesses

i remember in the runup to obamacare's passing that almost nobody on either side had any idea that something like 60-70% of medical bankruptcies were against people who had health insurance already

to be way too charitable to the dem, they don't seem to like to make ambitious policy proposals because their reflex is to try to defend it from every possible ideological angle rather than just accept that yes, single payer costs money

it does, it costs money deal with it austerity nerds

the DSA runs local candidates, and will probably be running a lot more in the near future, we run under dem, green, independent, whatever gives us the best chance of winning, I don't think there's any chance of them becoming a political party anytime soon though, but who knows what'll happen at the national conference this year, there's 4x as many members as when they had it last year.
DSA should never be a political party in terms of being an entity in the voting system. It would limit them too much.

some poll last year showed 1/3 of all people with insurance deferring medical care bc of out-of-pocket costs--including 25 percent of those with serious medical conditions.

hey, you know what would be a great way to get medicare costs down (along with prescription-drug pricing & letting younger/healthier people into the pool)? Not making people wait till age 65 to address serious medical problems.

when I did voter outreach among all political stripes, pitching medicare-for-all or other single-payer systems was the easiest pitch in the world to make to conservatives--easier than making the argument to centrist dems, even.

and I remember posting something in dnd ages ago setting forth the libertarian arguments for single-payer (not being tied to a job for healthcare, etc.).
