I want you to name one thing Hillary stood for in 2016

Just one thing

Something she really cared about and campaigned on

she stood for, cared about, and campaigned on the fact that she really, really, really wanted to be president

I can't wait for the Dems in 2022 to campaign on all their achievements such as

they'll probably still campaign on the child poverty thing despite that not being true and already expired. it is far easier to take credit for improving lives if you don't have to actually improve lives.

i forgot gadaffi was always a devoted anti-imperialist and backed groups as diverse as the PLO, IRA, RAF and ANC.

gadaffi and castro are two mandela would consistently cite as friends and staunch supporters of the ANC, even after he had to moderate to avoid offending the white libs. people got so loving mad when mandela told them that castro and gadaffi "supported them to the hilt" and he would not accept the narrative that these men were his enemies.

it ruled.

Maybe the FLQ would have been successful if Gadaffi had helped them.

quote:

Late last year, in the months leading up to the bill’s enactment, opponents filed a flurry of lawsuits claiming that by enforcing the rule in a manner widely viewed as consistent with the text of the legislation, the Biden administration had overstepped Congress’s intentions.

The leading opponents of the provision, which mandates that insurers and health care providers settle billing disputes based primarily on the median in-network rate for a procedure, are organizations representing the private health care industry, like the American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association. Along with a number of health care providers, the groups have filed lawsuits that federal courts are expected to decide in the coming months, before the first round of disputes under the new law reaches the arbitration stage.

A series of letters and statements by members of Congress from both parties, including Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La.; Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.; and Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., has nonetheless sought to support filers’ claims. Their apparent aim is to bolster providers’ legal arguments that the Biden administration went beyond Congress’s intent in crafting the rule that governs the resolution of unpaid medical bills. But the law’s author, Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., has decried attempts to undermine its implementation.

https://mobile.twitter.com/FrankPal...ling-lawsuit%2F


quote:

Any move toward standardizing these rates poses a threat to providers that rely on inflating patients’ bills and forcing them to cover massive surcharges far above the actual cost of the procedure. The providers’ investors in particular stand to lose if the new rule is enacted. According to Karen Pollitz of the Kaiser Family Foundation, there is substantial evidence that “venture capital investors were strategically investing in practices that are prone to surprise, out-of-network billing,” because “they knew they could charge whatever they want.”

In a May letter addressed to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, Sens. Hassan and Cassidy — two legislators who played major roles in crafting the No Surprises Act —  warned the administration against implementing the act’s dispute resolution process in a way that favored the median in-network rate. The letter makes an explicit argument for the provider’s preferred interpretation of the text, claiming that legislators “wrote this law with the intent that arbiters give each arbitration factor equal weight and consideration.” Cassidy released a similar follow-up letter in late December, but Hassan, whose office did not respond to a request from The Intercept to clarify her position on the administration’s interpretation of the rule, did not sign.

Hillary largely campaigned on the usual "embrace mediocrity in the face of apocalypse" dem platform which is still better than the current thing where if you even expect mediocrity you're a selfish entitled monster and you are fired from your job of voting for Democrats but must still vote for Democrats.

The US electoral system being undemocratic garbage doesn't mean she wasn't popular. You're saying she should have pandered to a minority.

To be fair, the electoral college is a sham designed explicitly to destroy real democratic force in society.

To be even more fair, democracy is already long dead by the time you get through the American primary system and Hillary sucked poo poo.

The hubris is just worse this time because Biden campaigned in those states and promised them very specific way in which he would make their lives better within months. Then he utterly failed to deliver anything except a bunch of kids to the reaper.

The Democrat party should realize they are going to get absolutely destroyed in 22 and 24 but they will treat both years like a coronation because they are the bestest!

"Akshually, those voters aren't worth as much as those other ones" might be a fine rationale for the electoral college, but it doesn't strengthen your argument at all.

Do you think the opinions of voters in Michigan are more relevant than other US citizens for some reason?

Hillary was more popular than Trump, she still lost the election because the US is undemocratic.
