Hey remember this morning how the new comms director went on a curse filled rant about people he works with and leakers and whatnot not knowing the difference between on the record and off the record indicating that if he knew he was on the record he would have to be monumentally dumb to say half of the things he said and if he was off the record he was one of the leakers he so much hates

No? Abject terror at the myriad of awful things that are happening today alone keeping you distracted? Yeah I get it

The hard truth is that the people who are going to benefit from single payer, the poor, are not the white middle class assholes that elected Trump. If we are going to push for that then those people are going to have to grow a humanity.

The Dems are dumb but I'm sick of hearing about it every time the Republicans do something horrendous unilaterally. Jay Leno is as culpable as whatever entities "the Dems" is supposed to mean at this point.

It's not even worth debating single payer now. Any Dem presidential candidate that doesn't support it in 2020 will effectively forfeit the primaries.
By 2020 Democrats will be too busy running on the platform of promising to close the prison camps that anyone showing homosexual, transgender, or "just plain faggy" tendencies will have been sent to. The Incel lobby will have become a force to recon with, and the "Community Servicin' Act" that compels Women to meet Incel demands on weekly basis will also be a point of contention for liberal voters. A third pillar of the Democrat platform will be repealing the 2019 "Freedom in Faith" act, which institutes minimum prison sentences for anyone found to be lacking in the proper faith... enforcement of which is one of those "I know it when I see it" determinations.

They'll be too busy for healthcare. Especially since voting Democrat will violate that last act.

That's the trouble with the Republican plans. They work. They stabilize the economy, a lot of people make money, resources flow everywhere. It's not happening to ME, so who cares if it happens to some lazy poors?

It's like Hitler's Germany, where the economy greatly improved and hey, if some jew that was demanding that you pay your bills disappeared then it's a boon to you!

The Right will take care of you, just as long as you never look outside your cubicle.

Reconciliation is a process that lets you pass budget-affecting laws in the Senate with only 50+1 votes. You can use it once per year. Typically its used on the budget but uh, we haven't had an actual honest to god budget pass since like...2009? gently caress it, who knows.
