The election was stolen from her by force through dirty sick means of a known sexual abuser.
It was a mental rape that we, the american electorate, voted to allow through the virtual violation of her sacred body of office: The presidency. Her, who had won more votes (and thus rights over the body of office because we're a mob rule popular vote system), over him, who had won more EVs and took(by force) the office. (Guess we failed to pokemon enough before going to the polls)

Basically she lost by a landslide :sad:

if its a legitimate election rape there's a way to shut that down

BTW what he means by this is that Trump is stupid for building a wall, he should be sweeping trespassers with drones instead. Seriously.

The more hilarious part of it is he only cares because NY is a major drone manufacturer. Schumer is as classical a senator as there ever was

Hillary does indeed suck, but people that don't even play video games, have strong sex negative opinions of video game boobs, including Hillary herself. I wonder if there is some kind of correlation.

NPR's first sentence in their segment about this issue talked about Bernie introducing medicare for all. The next two literal sentences NPR talked about how expensive the program would be and how it would raise everyone's taxes. The entire rest of the segment was two people concern trolling to each other about how expensive the program would be, how it could possibly be paid for, and how these attempts failed in California and Vermont. There was I think one throwaway line about how expensive american healthcare was compared to the rest of the world, but there was no time dedicated to examining why.

The goal of NPR, NYT, WaPo, et al. when discussing this issue to their liberal-minded audience is to provide the following message:
  • it's a nice idea, but it will be so much more expensive than now
  • who is going to pay for it? it's going to massively raise your taxes
  • don't think about how other OECD countries manage to have much cheaper and better healthcare while covering everyone. do think about canada having higher wait times for certain types of procedures than the US
  • government takeover of healthcare. 'free market' is better and more efficient
  • focus on the narrow overton window of Obamacare vs Trumpcare

Medicare for All is CHEAPER should be front and center in messaging. The health industrial complex is ripping you the gently caress off should be a central message.

hmm you mean people will lie about Good Policies™? this is a stunning development that has never before happened in the history of politics

Honestly, that wealth tax is really heartening, because I consider the willingness to actually tax wealth, rather than just income, as the best signifier of whether someone is genuinely interested in actual wealth redistribution (rather than just slowing the rate at which the rich become richer than everyone else). This makes me a lot more confident about where Bernie wants to take the country in the long term and his general willingness to push for helpful, but dramatic, changes.

We already have "wealth" taxes in the form of property tax. There's absolutely no downside to taxing high levels of wealth, because at a certain point there's no way to stop wealth accumulation anyway.

This is the standard response to when any sort of governmental social benefit is proposed. It's conventional wisdom, really: no matter how much detail you go into regarding how to fund your project, you still haven't mentioned how you're gonna pay for all this unicorn sparkle fairy magic :smug:

I think the reason this is such a popular argument is that your average person isn't going to know and memorize the funding provisions for a given policy, so it basically allows these people to say "see, this random layman doesn't know off the top of his/her head how to fund the bill, therefore the bill and everyone who support it are dumb :smuggo:" in arguments against the majority of supporters of a policy.

the estate tax is also a sort of wealth tax which is why old rich people have been screaming about them a lot recently and why I'm glad another one of the proposals is raising estate tax rates on the higher end

I like the optics of calling the estate tax the "Death Tax," as in you pay this tax, or you die and lose it all when the angry mob guillotines you.

They talk about important current events every week (last one was about DACA and they had an immigration expert in as a guest) and spend more time clowning on right-wingers than Twitter libs, they're just best known for beefing with hillarymen because that's what people are maddest about
