If the GOP is going to purge voter rolls the DNC should do the same thing. Fight fire with fire.

FaustianQ posted:I mean, not really? Like, not as a large scale colony I think, there is a lot of limitation on that, but it'd be a fantastic dockyard/gas station for further exploration due to the low gravity. The moon also has a lot of mineral resources that might be exploitable. The bottleneck is the massive expense in getting a moon colony that can sustain humans anywhere near long term without constant imports from earth, like bi-weekly. When thinking of outer space colonies people tend to forget how loving barren most of the rest of the solar system is. Sure, in the grand scheme of building a functional, well-funded space exploration program with clear goals and a need for something like an orbital refueling station. I'm saying that it currently feels like putting the cart ahead of the horse by at least a couple blocks. If you really want to shoot for the moon (as it were), you'd probably need to spend months shuttling up modules and shitloads of water, while in the meantime the US launch capacity (and the general space-readiness of the world in general) is still pretty limited. We...might have better luck capturing comets for extraterrestrial water needs sometime in the future, but uh, that doesn't seem like an even remotely trivial problem and would require years of investment in tech and procedures we just currently don't have. Meanwhile, lest we forget in our fun little technocratic daydreaming, Trump. And global warming. And Russia. There's kind of a lot of important distractions to doing Cool Space Stuff at the moment.

If nothing else, no matter how much the alt-right and their diseased, demented aborted ideology retains power, the true heart and soul of the majority will hate and despise them. They will never be loved by true America.

Covok posted:Serious question: what is the difference between public option and single payer? Public option: Medicare for anyone who wants it, normal insurance for everyone else Single payer: Medicare for everyone, normal insurance companies are not allowed (hence only 1 payer) A good, solid public option that works as well as everyone expects it to would end up turning into a defacto single-payer anyways since it should end up being a lot cheaper and killing the competition.

Public option/single payer often causes private providers to convert into supplemental insurance though. For example, Ontario's insurance doesn't cover dental, (barring traumatic surgery that must be done in a hospital, like if all your teeth are bashed out I guess) glasses and a few other things, and people often get their own plans or get them as benefits through work. It's all still profitable, but it's not absolute piracy like American medical insurance.

The Glumslinger posted:Public option: Medicare for anyone who wants it, normal insurance for everyone else I think that the democrats are going to lean more towards public option. There seems to be a push away from Washington knows best to Washington has choices you might like. I'd be down with the public option. I'd be down with single payer. However I think people would like the option to have the public option even if it's an obviously worse option. Even if it's such a bad choice that it's only the illusion of choice.

Couldn't they do the same thing with single payer? Republicans can always take control and ruin everything. They could contract out the single payer program to the same evil corporations. Like private prisons.

The Glumslinger posted:Public option: Medicare for anyone who wants it, normal insurance for everyone else This. Seriously, a solid public option is really good, and there's actually several other reasonable alternatives to single payer. The NHS and Canadian Medicare are well known single payer systems(our Medicare is based on Canada's), but Germany does it a whole different way, as do several other countries. Having said that, given the USA, the wisest course is advocating for single-payer or a public option, either one working off of Medicare. And as far as public outreach, I'd be advocating for single-payer as hard as possible and backing off to a public option as a compromise.

I thought of it because of the recent memes where Trump is somehow a badass physical specimen that can dominate everyone. He still seems to be a bloated pissbaby in non-MAGA eyes. Just makes me wonder if people that are hardcore zealots actually internalize the propaganda enough to synchronize it with their sexuality. The similarities between him and Kim with their round physiques and goofy rear end hair are depressingly hilarious. Both think that they are glorious specimens of masculinity when it's really just money (and threats) that have kept any women within 10 feet for most of their lives. It's just another layer of the morbid ball of rage, insanity, and irony that has American conservatism has become.

I think they would have the same problem they are having right now with Obamacare. People don't want to their healthcare taken away. Even if they are stupid enough to vote for people who threaten to do just that. Once they are in power and attempt to implement it, the public outrage makes it drat near impossible for it to be taken away. It's the same in countries that already have universal healthcare. Once it's there, people tend to want to keep it even when they elect a conservative government that threatens to take it away.

It's a really dumb reach to think they would gladly blow Trump's impotent dick. There are many reasons to mock and ostracize Trump supporters, but them wanting to suck his cock is really dumb hyperbole and frankly rather homophobic. They want to gently caress Melania and make many white babies to out-breed the mud races, and respect Trump for the beautiful and smart children he's produced.
