This poo poo sucks

if you stay together you need to make less than $40,440 to get the means tested affordable access

every working family must pay an accountant $2000 a year to make sure they have the optimal family configuration or they must not really need the healthcare

then people will get mad and say, why haven't you applied that to bernie. Bitch have you seen what bernie has undergone through his whole life and he could have used that misery to justify screwing over people too, but he didn't.

It is pretty cool that there’s a bunch of people who managed to convince themselves that identity politics is destroying the left and therefore the best way to solve that is to become indistinguishable from a 4chan poster because that’s what the working man craves. Some are even on this very forum, it owns

I was one of those people around maybe 2014 or so. Some of them are legit fash (gators), some of them are particularly irony-poisoned centrists, and some of them are, like I was, just consumed with misplaced anger.

Around the time of the second Obama term the center and center-left had learned how to weaponize (class-exclusionary) idpol for their own interests, and the discourse of actual people hadn't fully caught up with it yet and a lot of garden-variety posters just didn't know how to process it. For example the concepts of white feminism and "liberal feminism" hadn't really been popularized, so if you wanted to rail against Shakesvilles or Bravenaks or Lena Dunhams or Hillary Clintons etc etc etc you had to either just say "feminism" as an umbrella term, which was both plainly wrong and super fashy, or qualify it with "a certain type of feminism" which just sounds like a mealy-mouthed weasel-word way of doing the first thing, and in some cases was exactly that.

Now that leftist discourse has caught up with that tactic and those terms and others like them exist, anyone still doing this kind of poo poo in 2019 is of course fashy as hell (see: r/stupidpol)

so, let's say that a family with 51 year old parents has a few children in their early 20s. the parents currently get insurance through their employer, which covers their children. warren's plan will make the parents eligible to buy the public option, but if they do so the children will then lose their coverage. so the parents now get the fun choice of sticking with lovely insurance that covers their childern, or improving their own coverage (and probably saving a ton of money) at the cost of their kids going uninsured.

great job of undoing one of the few good things about obamacare warren.

off topic, but: you see these pop up once in a while over the years. You never hear anything about "so and so, young genius, is now breaking all kinds of new grounds". I always wonder what happens to them. Do they go on and create amazing things in their field of studies with all that extra time given, or do they burn out from peer pressure?

it happens. some of them do turn out to be great scientists as adults

john von neumann was a child genius who was publishing academic papers in his teens

terence tao is one of the more famous mathematicians today and he was also a child prodigy who got a phd at like age 19


but then many of them either have psychotic breakdowns from the pressure or they just get shuttled to wall street or tech companies which are the culturally-defined default for kids like that

warren is insecure, as a person

she choked in an interview with Jon Stewart. I've met Jon Stewart. He's a pussycat. I mean, I didn't work for him, so...

She had an interview with Colbert a few months back where he softballed a question about medicare, then gave her the answer she should give, and she couldn't take the hint and managed to gently caress it all up.

the rich are deeply stupid and paranoid(both necessary qualities to be rich) so she needs to reassure them even if it means contradicting her earlier lies

Rich people started criticizing the plan she didn't actually have, and were dropping HER name in association with it instead of Bernie's, and as a professor she is super pedantic so she took it upon herself to correct them
